Sources Say Adams Not Running For Mayor →
oh hallelujah!
maybe now portland will get a mayor who cares more about people and social services than bikes and bike paths. and who will maybe spend some money on improving portland’s abysmal public schools and the horrific drop out rate, instead of spending money on trying to make portland the amsterdam of the united states.
and maybe we’ll get a mayor who will spend some money...

i have no bed, no dresser, no lamps, no kitchen supplies - literally i have nothing but clothes, old textbooks and some broken christmas lights.
but i need room decorating ideas. i want to do something cozy and woodsy and i would like to pretend i’m living in a cabin in the woods.

i miss the wilderness.
i’ve just spent the summer reminding myself that it’s been cold and rainy in oregon 80 percent of the summer and i wouldn’t have been able to do too much adventuring had i been back there.

Is 'The Bay' An Island? How Fetishizing the Bay... →
there’s a lot of things in this article that i can’t relate to - being considered a “radical queer,” for example. but there are plenty of things in here that do strike a chord with me.
although not the bay area, the overall main points of this post reminds me a lot of how i feel about portland these days. my dad moved to oregon from colorado for college and my mom moved...

sometimes public school just doesn’t compare.
