#SilentSunday

@ai6yr I was impressed that when we had the tsunami warning last year, I was one of a very few people who got in my car and immediately drove home (the house is out of the tsunami zone)

🪿🪿🪿🪿🪿🪿🪿

demolishing the East Wing is gross but folks

I will absolutely promise you, as a qualified professional who meets the SoI Standards for Architectural Historians, that if there's one building in this country we could rebuild, it's the White House

like, I will guarantee you we have as-builts and plenty of photos

when you want to do a half-collapsed grain silo in eastern Montana, it's going to be a job

but you can Ship of Theseus the everliving fuck out of the White House

highlights from today's #NoKings in beautiful Roseburg, #Oregon, pop 26k...of whom approximately 10 percent were in the streets today

go on and tell me about rural America

today's downtown slaps

so, looks like we need to continue boycotting REI

also, if any of y'all are qualified for board nomination, you have until tomorrow night to get your paperwork in

@skinnylatte my auntie once turned to me and said, Sara, you're a person with a lot of opinions, what do you think about --

and she then asked me about some topic on which I can remember nothing except that I had no opinion whatsoever

since then, /Sara you're a person with a lot of opinions/ has been one of those catchphrases in my household

@ai6yr this is why we carry purses

what I've never understood is why men don't

#Caturday

OMG people if the illustration is AI-generated don't propagate that shit even if you agree with the message

you are making yourself part of the problem

I can't fix what the federal government is doing

my efforts to stop them have largely failed, and may continue to fail

what I can do, since my own taxes are going to be reduced by this bill, is put the difference towards a local food pantry

people are hungry now and they're not going to be less hungry after all this

you might like to watch a chubby little guy eating fish heads and scratching his noggin

down at the marina earlier today

tfw you watch a man who self-identifies as progressive explain something to a woman who is literally an international expert in the thing being explained

srsly dudes don't be That Guy

your politics and often even your intentions will not in any way prevent you from tripping over your own dick, this I guarantee you

springtime in the park with 🪿

it's Friday

have you written to your representatives or someone else who is making a difference in your community?

speaking of which: if you live in #Oregon and think we should stop having straight-up racist placenames

this is a good weekend to write your state senator and tell them to support HB3532B

a few little notes can make a big difference on a state bill!
