Travelling Doesn't Make You a Better Person - Mercury

> Hearing you brag about your trip that cost thousands of dollars is classist as fuck. Must be nice to have a disposable income and unlimited time to be a dickhead. You're just a racist asshole annoying other people around the world so you can come back annoy people who have to hear how "spiritually enriching" your time in India was and now you only eat chicken tikka masala

A quick timelapse of the aurora from the Columbia Gorge looking toward Mount St. Helens. Absolutely incredible.

Timelapse of greens and purples of the aurora over a silhouetted horizon including Mount St. Helens if you look close.

if you are awake, go outside and see the aurora! My sky in Yamhill County is pink and getting brighter!

Hey PDX folks! What local organization(s) do you think is/are doing the most effective job at combating homelessness? I'd like to donate a portion of my new raise.

Quick story about a neighbor. Was walking my dog this morning and passed by a man slumped on top of a bicycle on the ground sleeping. Checked to make sure he was alive; he looked dehydrated. Went back to give him food and water, check on him again. Then PPB rolled up us cuz some other neighbor called the cops on him. He was getting up, said he was ok, didn’t need medical. Cop took off thankfully, seeing he had food and water from me and was alert and able to carry on.

I'm at a conference at the federal courthouse, and as I drove here l observed cops (not in riot gear) on every corner surrounding Portland State University (the urban campus downtown), and schoolbuses pulling up in front of the Schnitz and also backing up traffic on the freeway nearby. Looks like they're about to roust the antiwar encampment, and expecting multiple arrests.

This would have been quite the bill if the show ever happened. Hard to believe it was actually booked. Then again, GG probably would have fit in with some of the Oaks crew. https://www.ebay.com/itm/115920611311?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=yC3-BlA7RRa&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=HGaoN8GqSZy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Absolute power and solidarity to the comrades holding down Camp Palestine at Portland State University. The love and support from these folks warms me like no other. I'm so inspired and deeply moved by the commitment, community, and power these friends wield. Please feel free to stop by and help with supplies if you can. Add your body if you can!

Hold the fort! From Chinook to Gaza, mobilize the Intifada!

Got myself a one-person feast at Desi Bites in ! 😆🎉 They’re not “Abhiruchi level” (i.e. the best food in all of , except located in Vancouver WA) but I loved getting a bit of everything with their vegetarian thali which comes with a single bite of dessert - the perfect portion! The egg curry was a bit too sweet for me, but I’m coming back for sambar on Tuesdays!

(I went to see Monkey Man afterwards, which sadly contained 0% Indian food… but 500% Dev Patel! 🇮🇳🔥)

small occupation so far by the psu library, it'll no doubt grow through the night, and perhaps the weekend -- no megaphones as of 7:00pm, i hope they keep it that way!

several tents gathered by a huge banner on a grassy shaded college greenspace.
a hanging blue tarp spraypainted to read: "free gaza!".
