  • Oregonian here. There’s currently over 100 fires burning across our state. 5 of them currently considered mega-fires.

    Our state-level firefighters, as well as the federal-level are seriously, seriously underpaid. If you’re the letter-to-politician-writing type, please help advocate for better pay and benefits for our firefighters

    It really seems like my grocery store (a Kroger brand) has been doing this for a bit now.

    Prices on certain things vary wildly depending on the time of the month or the day of the week. Plus, with their bullshit, incessant push for everyone to use their app and online ordering, it seems like this will be much more common moving forward.

    I’ll second the Dickies. I used to wear Carhartt’s for work because they held up well. But lately they haven’t. The Dickies I’m currently rocking at work have so far held up really well, although I did just switch like 6 months ago. For what it’s worth, my poor, carpenter grandfather wore Dickies everything. Exclusively.





  • Great setup! It feels so good to have a such a big head-start on the growing season!

    You’ll be feeling extra great when it comes time to plant in the ground and your starts are further along than anything you could have purchased or grown from seed right when the season starts.

    Post progress pics later!


  • At this time, any further comments on the cause of death are currently pending until toxicology results and other ancillary testing results are received,” the statement says. (Emphasis mine)

    Benedict was able to walk out of the bathroom after the Feb. 7 fight but was taken to a hospital by their family and sent home that night. The next day, paramedics were dispatched to the home for a medical emergency and took Benedict to a hospital emergency room, where they later died, police said.

    I really hope this doesn’t turn out to be self-inflicted… Either that, or that’s the angle the officials are hoping to imply in the meantime. This whole thing is so heartbreaking…




  • This is a common trope in these topics. And I gotta say, to be perfectly honest, that I hate it.

    Leftists/anti-fascists also rely on having face coverings to protect themselves from state repression, and doxxing from nazis, despite being right in their beliefs.

    I get where you’re coming from with the sentiment, I do. But rather than taking issue with the masks themselves, I’d recommend taking action (or at least encouraging it) and physically removing their masks so they can be properly doxxed themselves and face the consequences of their violent and hateful beliefs.
