Spring in Portlandia. #pdx
Notes
Gimme the deets, Trento…I’m coming home.
A mountainous region in Italy is offering €100,000 to move there. But there’s a catch
🙄
Trump said he would move student loans “out of the Department of Education immediately” and that Loeffler and her staff are “all set for it. They’re waiting for it. It’ll be serviced much better than it has in the past. It’s been a mess.”
Trump says Education Department will no longer oversee student loans, ‘special needs’
Four years gone, kid brother. It’s never the easiest week to get through, and every time I struggle to say anything at all because I don’t want sympathy, I just want to send an echo of you back out into the world. Miss you and wish we could’ve gotten closer over the years. Easily my biggest regret.
Looks like I’ll be staying indoors from now until forever.
Multiple cougar sightings reported near Beaverton shopping center
The default architectural design ethos has simply become “fuck it,” hasn’t it? Literally zero fucks given.
Would really like to connect with more middle age dudes on the west side of Portland, preferably not into Joe Rogan, video games, or golf. I do enjoy live music, medium skill band jam sessions, writing meetups, hiking, euchre, hobbyist street photography, zoo meetups with kids (6 and 3). #pdx
Education Department dismantled. What if everyone with student loans just…stopped paying on them all at once?
Started my second set of clear aligners today and my front gap is already starting to close. Teeth are gross lol.
When I can pop that L5 vertebrae by giving it a little twist 🦴💥 🙌 Sounds like a thud on a hallow log.
There are two types of glass recyclers on my street: those with bins filled with spaghetti sauce jars, and then there are those whose bins are filled with empty wine and liquor bottles.
The cafe in the lobby of our main office building makes their tomato soup with orange zest in it. Surprisingly decent combo.
I vastly underestimated just how much KISS I’d be listening to with two kids under six.
Having trouble powering through a book someone sent me, which is akin to being held hostage.
Can’t wait for this to come to self-hosted Ghost blogs so I can give it a test drive. #activitypub
Did a lot of CSS work on my blog back in January and now Tinylytics thinks I’m averaging over 1,000 hits per month and keeps messaging me to upgrade. Yo, it’s me. I’m the one. No one is reading my blog except my snooping partner. How many more months until the average drops below 1,000?
Saw a posting in Silicon Valley (Santa Clara County) that is exactly equivalent to my job here in Portland and it topped out at only 8% more than I get paid here. Cost of living is 80% higher and housing is 229% higher. Why anyone in their right mind would work under those conditions is beyond me.
Any Italian citizens living in the U.S. have any luck booking an appointment at the San Francisco Consulate for the CIE Electronic Identity Card? Every time I try to use Prenota, there are never any available appointments. 🇮🇹
