Portland, Oregon, Covid, urbanism, city planning, dogs, crows, insects, weather, nature, food, flowers, photography, house projects. Some politics, sorry.

Ugh, I've been so stressed all day about the #NYCMayoralPrimary, and apparently they aren't even going to tabulate the ranked votes for a full week.

As a registered nurse my 100% legal, moral and ethical obligation is to my patient. PERIOD. No amount of masks, jack booted thuggery or intimidation will shake that. I could care less about who you are, where you are from or how you got to me. I will protect you like you are family. #nurse #nursing

L.A. TACO has confirmed through its sources that ICE is currently at UCLA Ronald Reagan Hospital. UCPD is not cooperating and prevented ICE from entering. ICE is standing by in the lobby. 🧵

I'm worried the rat in our kitchen isn't getting enough greens, so I put some kale in the trap for them to steal.
All #RankedChoice ballots should include an explicit option of "Not Acceptable", to make it clear that some candidates do not deserve even your fourth or fifth vote.

For this hot summer #TextureTuesday, check out this painting that we bought in #Hawaii from local artist #MarkNBrown.

I regret posting such a furry post during a heatwave. Let me find something more pleasant to look at for summer.

I'm pretending that the weather is making me suffer on calls, because I don't want my remote coworkers resenting me because it is a lovely 81°F in #Portland right now.

As someone who is 46, I'm technically part of #GenX, even though I don't want anything to do with those fuckers or their view of the world.

ESTABLISHMENT DEMS: We must find our Joe Rogan who can speak to the youth and win back young men! NYC MAYOR RACE POLLING: 🟡18-29 Mamdani +14 🟡30-44 Mamdani +36 🟣45-54 Cuomo +38 🟣55-64 Cuomo +38 🟣65+ Cuomo +40 ESTABLISHMENT DEMS: ...and having found him, he must be destroyed! [I feel confident that the EDs would advocate for Ivanka over Mamdani at this point.]

A very special #TextureTuesday and #DogsOfMastodon crossover post!

Cuomo directly caused the deaths of thousands of nursing home residents in the early days of the COVID pandemic (and tried to cover it up)

He sent patients he knew were positive in to mix with those who weren’t.

This should have ended his political career (if not resulted in criminal charges)

Why didn’t it? Ableism and capitalism folks.

The elderly and disabled are not “economically active”.

They’re seen as expendable.

People wanted to go back to normal, and if some of us “others” had to die to make that happen? That was a price many in society were willing to pay.
