education and acceptance around neurodivergent needs, overstimulation, sensory preferences etc will hopefully eventually eliminate the experiences of kids who grew up in yell-y, disconnected families of the 80s & 90s. #xennials#genx
a “protestor” interrupted city hall today during a super important virtual testimony by disabled portlanders & they went to recess. ted said they would be back.
tbh this sounds fake/staged.
it’s now norm to have to spend countless unpaid hours to contest denials and defend the use of a service you’ve already paid for. all after the world lost millions of people to covid. flip a table & hulk smash. it’s time to go back to occupy & general strike mentalities.
it’s like, the first day of summer in portland so everyone is driving like shit. fyi if you’re eking into oncoming traffic you may want to turn your head to view that traffic. also, get off your phone. #pdx#pdxtraffic#portlandtraffic

Update #2 to my last article in @thenation magazine: the student workers at the University of Oregon (@uoregon) have officially filed to unionize with over 2,000 signed cards!! Again, they expect to be the largest undergraduate union in the United States.
Gov. Tina Kotek criticized the city of Portland and Multnomah County officials on Monday for not answering basic questions when it comes to how they would spend state dollars to address the homeless crisis.

also, the secret to keeping movie theaters open is to give patrons two 10m intermissions. we’re wanting a snack, to be social & needing to run to the restroom or just move around w/o missing parts of the show.
we pay too much for movie tickets for the experience to be rushed.
me: they should make a slime ranchers movie, that’d be cool.
kid(age 12): that would be more than cool. better than the mario movie. that would be fire.
on the topic of welfare / safety nets:
calling & getting a scratchy line or maniacal hold message or just being on hold for more that 5 minutes without a callback option should be illegal and considered a breach of accessibility.

So like worst case scenario is I'm surrounded by people who support me even if they don't necessarily understand me? That's some kind of own? Are you just jealous because no one supported your crypto phase, Craig?
I would like to clarify that I’m using the GoFundMe donations to help fix my chair but all the rest is going to the disabled community and to people who really need the help ❤️
it’s 2023. businesses need websites that adapt once it’s aware of the size you’re shopping for.
wading through hundreds of photos of garments on people who don’t represent your body shape is very 2015. stop wasting my time.
