The makers of Tesla apologist bumper stickers have got to be making a fortune in Portland

Been seeing a loooot of people take up running in the last week, but the other day I saw someone jogging while smoking a cigarette and had to nod my head in respect

Please tell me why this card was in the box of kid headphones I ordered…What does it mean? Why was it included??

Do crows in Portland always look particularly patchy and featherless this time of year? Is it bird flu? The crows in my neighborhood are not all right...

Since having a kid I’ve decided it should be illegal how many strains of cold and norovirus there are. Time to shut it down. Get our best minds on it.

My friend, I just want to lower my internet bill…

"'They forced me, basically, to have a child,' she said of the state after the abortion ban. But then, 'they didn’t help me take care of that child.'"

This is an enraging story, and an astonishing feat of reporting and photojournalism.

I'm sorry...16,000 golf courses in the U.S.! Using 1.5 billion gallons of water a day! That's so much land and resources that rich people are just using to smack their little balls around.

Love this news about 82nd Ave. Bike lanes, added trees!

Thanks @axios for the link to my old piece about pdx's east side being so much hotter than the west.

Called 211 and they gave me a number to a community health clinic that isn't even answering calls 🙃

[Elise Herron @cc_herron]

Is there anywhere in Portland, or even Oregon, to get a Covid vaccine for a 6 month old? When I search, the only place offering shots for kids that young is in WA and they are only vaccinating WA residents

[Elise Herron @cc_herron]

Called a different clinic that looked like they might have some but they're only vaccinating established patients, and hadn't received their doses yet anyway.

[Elise Herron @cc_herron]

@mpsinger @caitypeel Congratulations!

[Elise Herron @cc_herron]

@MeiraGebel YES

@rachelamonahan Thank you!!

Among the many hoops we’ve had to jump through in having a kid together, my wife and I are now trying to navigate the process of second parent adoption for queer couples in Oregon. If anyone has lawyer or resource recommendations, please let me know!
