This is a standing board on the other side of the street where the #antipanhandler #chalkgrafitti showed up on #MainStreet, #VanWA. Thought it was by a random person, but this seems like the work of a shop owner. Other side said, "From your friends in #UptownVillage"

I watched through season 3 of #GameofThrones and quit. I knew a bit of what season 4 had in store and wasn't interested. I can see I haven't missed anything and that she show would have disappointed me had I stuck with it. #DodgedABullet

I don't think so many people should put effort into one racist neighbor, but they are all having fun and smiling and laughing, so I will keep my mouth shut. I hope the woman got to experience the joy she inspired in these folks.

The anti #streetpeople posters are laminated+applied to the #streetboard with tape. The boards are next to garbage cans. I don't think the signs will remain on the board much longer... 👀 [#ClarkWA #VanWA #FriendsinUptownVillage #Capitalism #ClarkCO #Transient #rude]

@TamyEmmaPepin @VinithaShetty Meet Katie Bouman She wrote the Algorithm which produced the first-ever image of a black hole. The Algorithm stitches together a network of eight linked telescopes.Together, they form the Event Horizon Telescope and can be thought of as a planet-sized array of dishes.

Congratulations to Katie Bouman to whom we owe the first photograph of a black hole ever. Not seeing her name circulate nearly enough in the press.

Amazing work. And here’s to more women in science (getting their credit and being remembered in history) 💥🔥☄️

this is going to sound a little Liberal Coffeeshop but the amount of people I've overheard defending Biden in their casual off time is just... what is wrong with you people

A Quiet Place isn't homophobic but wishes I'd stop flaunting my homosexual lifestyle in public

@ShimmiB @deplorablestour My focus is not on white women at all, it's alerting folks to the presence of Joey Gibson (a man) in PDX. The only 1 focusing on white women is you. I'm still unsure why you are applying these stereotypical liberal ideals to me. But have fun tacking labels on to strangers I guess

@ShimmiB Portland is not a liberal Mecca. It was founded on and maintains a large ammount of racism. But stay in your echo chamber, that's just fine.

[Luc Hoekstra PDX @LucPDX]

@ShimmiB @deplorablestour Also your mission to passive aggressively remind people that republicans are more than white people is shit and you should stop.

@ShimmiB @deplorablestour Not only is there a black man in this photo, but I never said anything about race to begin with. I'm also not a liberal, nor do I support liberal politicians. Thanks for putting words in my mouth though?
