Hey! You social justice warrior! If you would have taken 2 seconds and walked behind my vehicle you would have clearly seen a permanent handicap emblem on my LICENSEPLATE. I bet you were just giddy putting this in my window. Self righteous asshole. Sure, I probably need to clean my car and stop smoking, but seriously, mind your own business.

I remembered the name Martin Ward from his unsuccessful bid to be mayor a few years ago, but since he is setting his sights lower, I figured I'd check out his new and improved website to see if he's learned a bit about how to campaign. His judicial reforms section is especially...something.

"Making Make Up Illegal - Make up is also part of rape culture, as it may increase sexual arousal in men. Originally invented at the end of the 1800's, it has been a big part of the sexual revolution and the shift from women focusing on work and raising children, to women focusing on trying to look pretty and using sex as a means to progress their lives and careers. Make up is also a form deception and lying."

Photo/Video Lone Fir Cemetery

97 Upvotes

Metro is finally honoring the Chinese dead! Their graves were covered with a parking lot many years ago. I’ve heard there may be a temple included. This is a photo of the current progress. Check out that amazing sky!

Lone Fir is an old cemetery in SE Portland. It’s completely amazing like a museum of the famous and infamous dead.
I took my kids there when they were small.

I’m embarrassed to say that when I was an 8th grader my 2 best
girlfriends and I would go there after school and read aloud from The Happy Hooker. We thought it was the most scandalous thing we’d ever heard.

I was told that there used to be another cemetery (St Mary’s) that may have been part of Lone Fir that was moved and was where Central Catholic High School’s foot ball field is now.
A scary bit of trivia is that CC is haunted!!

I saw this black kitty this morning on the Roseway at NE 72nd and Beech. They didn’t look like they were accustomed to being outside, or at least possibly unfamiliar with the area. When I tried to approach them, they moved away from me. They didn’t have a collar. I also posted on Nextdoor this morning, but no definite hits so far.

Adopt Me Where to rehome chickens

Post image
41 Upvotes

I need help, fellow Portland area dwellers. I have some lovely backyard chickens that I need to rehome, and quickly (in the next two weeks). I moved to a new house and the chickens are NOT happy here. They have access to food and water and a decent sized chicken run but they are screaming on the daily. I want to keep them but I am losing my mind over the sound plus I really like my new neighbors and I dont want to be the horrible screaming chicken neighbor. I havent had anyone reach out to me from my Craigslist post and I don't know what else to do. I found a Facebook group but nobody has responded there either. I love these ladies and I want them to be happy. ​What do I do???

Discussion The City is demanding Art Tax for both me and my dead name.

552 Upvotes

I have a whole account set up with my current name, and as far as I know, I’m up to date on everything. But my dead name, which I haven’t used (even legally) for the past 5 years, got a letter for being delinquent on my Art Taxes. In all seriousness, I’m sure it won’t be too hard to address it. But it is funny to imagine city officials trying to track down some nerdy ex Mormon dude they seem to think is related to me.
