Just got Lasik surgery. My longterm and fraught relationship with the acrylic molds industry is coming to an end.

Watch. Next they'll say EBIKE is in the #Wordle dictionary. A #term is not a #word, people... 🧐

I just saw a commercial for a migraine medication that has a 8% success rate (on the headache part) but a 6% chance of constipation.

but a Texas judge isn't looking at that all. 😒

Aimee Mann could do a reboot/take back of 'Voices Carry,' only about all the people who talk so g'damn loud in public about literally EVERYTHING.
"I said shut up - I said shut up."

Social Sciences, pshaw. They only deeply influence global policy and attitudes through the use of inference and a haberdashery of researcher self-selected data. Nothing to see here.

To signal my full Portland, a big part (of my practice) is just trying not to pull or tear something (important) from contorting the fleshes into all of this (needed) compression, lol.

Apparently, I have reached the age where getting dressed for sports counts as an #exercise on my watch.

Why does Flonase nasal steroid spray need to be scented with lilac? Is it some kind of twisted joke?
Yeah no, I get it. My nose is messed up but not FUBAR yet...I guess.

Sometimes, pictures say it all. It is unthinkable in #America for #women and minority groups to celebrate their rights and the passing of empathic #legislation. Whoever at #NPR selected this headline photograph should be ashamed of themselves and find another job. This is not #journalism

I tried to buy my parents an AirBnB Experience near where they live (a small city, btw), and every choice was goat cuddling.

America, are you okay?

Here's an idea. Restructure housing court away from vis-a-vis to one that is tenant-rights focused. Make the landlord and their lawyer argue why the eviction is necessary and unavoidable. That, is free. https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2023/02/portland-area-elected-leaders-oppose-capital-gains-tax-for-tenant-eviction-defense-lawyers.html

The low of -23°C at Boston’s Logan Airport is astonishing given its proximity to oceanic water that’s about 4°C.

I don't like voting "no" on every new #tax, but when #Portland is run by IDIOTS, it's just self-defense isn't it? We have 6 different tax streams to file, only 2 of which are registered with tax prep software! https://www.oregonlive.com/opinion/2023/02/preschool-taxes-and-predatory-tactics-steve-duin-column.html

Living with a #Woodworker and #VideoEditor is watching the #Oscar nominated #SeaBeast and hearing at just 3mins in, "Yep, that's the right chisel mallet combo to open a window. Good meeting."

As I look around, at my community, I am heartened to see there still remains juuust enough of us to prevent self-checkout from ever completely winning the war.

We had copious Anna's hummingbirds in our yard most of the year, and they love the "Radio Red" salvia shrubs. I never thought the red color might have something to do with it.

@kitbest

When your raw veggie snack is still warm from the sun?...amazing. 🥦

@gothamgirlblue

Some senseless cishet ♂ behaviors seem to come from WW I/II veteran trauma supression. Living in squalor: "Well, we made out okay, didn't we?"

One personal example: A brand new YMCA is built in Brooklyn NYC. My partner and I both go early after it opens. I come out, mention the shower stalls. He says they didn't put stalls in for the men. This is a brand. new. building...and they wouldn't give the men's lockerroom private spaces to shower. /smh #privacy
