Hoping the third hardware store strip this week will be the final hardware store trip, but it remains to be seen.

Need to be thinking about a cool new mastodon sever to join. I’d welcome input, I’m exhausted at the idea.

A friend who has done many good things in Portland needs some help with a vet bill: https://www.gofundme.com/f/jorge-grandes-surgery-fund

There is a band that practices within earshot of our rental and when our windows are closed every song of theirs sounds like, “Where is my mind?”

“This isn’t a bike road!”, is maybe one of the funniest things someone in a car has ever yelled at me.

Did something called a 700c conversion two days ago on my ~80s Schwinn with the help of Community Cycling Center and their tools / work benches and couldn’t be happier.

Highly recommend, I wandered in saying “I think my bike needs to be changed?” and they walked me right through everything and sold me all the parts at a discount / found used stuff for me to repurpose.

Mechanic helping me let me do everything, and explained it at a level that was very accessible.

Truly a beautiful moment when I see so many pals celebrating the revolutionary capacity of sandwiches.

I have had my bike less than two weeks and have today got rolled into by a car (car came away with a bunch of scratches and a boot print, bike and I are fine).

Making bread feels like magic.

Played the first hour or so of this game this morning and really enjoyed it!

Not every day that I’ll agree with a former FEC chair, but yes, Oregon really shouldn’t be maintaining a public list of every person who has given $100 to a politician:

Saw someone with a Guinness t-shirt on purchasing Guinness at the grocery store a couple hours ago and I’m still processing.

Roommates agreed to watch Hackers (1995) with me because they knew I was having a long day.

Extracted value, like a tooth.

Recording some vocals this morning and remembering to close all the windows to our place before I start screaming about clout goblins (unlike last recording session).
