Star Trek Glee Club, yes please. 💙🎵🖖🏻
@paul yeah, we have a lot of that. Sun is intense here because of altitude (6500 ft give or take) but it cools into the 60s or 50s every night and evening deck hangs are lovely.
@paul I live in a part of town that has a good mix of folks and has some of the best ethnic food options and variety around. There are plenty of outdoor activities of all sorts so if you’re into that stuff you’ll have all the options.
@paul Hmm. It’s developed in some strange ways. Prior to the evangelical move here in the 80s, it was actually a fairly moderate, artsy, smallish community. So there are a lot remnants of that heritage still around. The military bases create a third community that doesn’t neatly fit into arts/patrons or evangelicals. So there’s a fair amount of tension that creates some interesting community situations and conversations.
@paul I live in Colorado Springs. Happy to answer any questions! It’s a weird place, not Portland weird, but different weird.

What is it called when something makes you laugh, but also makes you want to cry a little?

Unsurprised that the conservative majorty on this Supreme Court struck down affirmative action. I'm Anti-surprised, in fact. They'll likely do the same thing to student debt relief, later today or tomorrow.

It'll take about 3 years to see the full effects of today's decision across the higher education landscape; these justices won't care then, either.

If you want real remedies for centuries of inequity, inequality, and injustice, this court isn't where you need to go.

Hit the ballot box, the city council chambers, or the streets, instead.

What a sad mess.

@gedeonm If only there was a solution ... like converting some of these to housing and allowing people to live more affordably near downtown spaces.
