We have two weeks to raise $50,000 or old man Musk is going to turn Twitter into a parking lot. Bros, you know what we have to do: Throw a massive rager the likes of which this town has never seen!

Welp. Tried to make a Mastodon account yesterday. Still haven't gotten my activation email as of now. Kiiiiinda seeing why that platform hasn't caught on.

A friend struggling to decide on Portland's charter reform ballot measure told me the below was useful, so I'll thread it: Why did the charter commission wrap so many different changes into one vote? The answer is sorta technical, but perfectly reasonable once you know it.

Haayyyyy, where all y'all Mastodon users at? I'm here: @[email protected]

I've started a newsletter. It's called Why is Portland Like That? and ever week I answer reader questions about the Rose City. In today's edition, I talk about why Maywood Park exists. whyisportlandlikethat.substack.com/p/why-does-may…

I voted no on a deal that excluded sick leave for rail workers. It is completely messed up that rail workers are on continuous call, have no sick leave, and if they miss work due to illness—get fired. The railroads are making billions while treating their workers horrendously.

HIRE THIS MAN. He is very good at words!

Each day, I grow increasingly perplexed by my employer’s business strategy. The c-suite folks who can’t appear to craft a way to become profitable despite that being their job are laying off hundreds of the award-winning moneymakers — who, btw, are relatively cheap to employ.

HAY GUYZ, I got hacked last week but I finally just now got my account back. Nice to know that crypto dorks have their own place to hang out. But I sure won't be here. HMU on BSky, I have invite codes if you want one! bsky.app/profile/sarahg…
