Sharpened some knives today and talked to some folks about fixing stuff. Glad to meet y’all.

We are locals in the so-called "Portland" metro area who are tired of the lack of masking on public transit. The absence of a mask mandate has made transportation incredibly dangerous for disabled people. Horrific! Contact Trimet to bring back the mask mandate on public transit!

Painting tip from hardhat dog: The paint is not supposed to smell like rotten eggs. That’s bad paint. Throw that shit out.

Anyone out here who can do an engine swap? We know this isn’t an easy job, but there’s a need, so let’s get it done. 🖤

Hardhat dog tip on small appliance repair: Get a multimeter and a soldering iron. Most of the time, the $500 appliance stopped working because… the $300 board shorted and… blew out a $0.25 capacitor. Being able to check continuity and resistance is life changing.

Fare checks out and about!

I need my O2 sensor replaced. If I supply the part, are there any comrade mechanics out there that I can pay to do the labor? Sooner the better.. #Portland #PDX #MechanicTwitter

Hey remember the plant based straws we all had to switch to after a sea turtle went viral & a 9yo did some bad math? Turns out they're worse than the plastic ones 😃

Not relevant to anything really but we’re pretty sure the roof is the most expensive exterior part of a house to fix. Might be useful in case any bad people have houses with roofs.

We can vouch for this person. They do a lot of good. Please help them remain housed, if you can.

Yeah, the whole “POC are a monolith” thing is actually super fucking racist, Chuckles. Arm trans folks.

Looking for a licensed electrician in the Portland area willing to do an inspection of some unsafe, sketchily-done Landlord Special residential electrical. Anyone willing to give a comrade a discount would be sincerely appreciated.
