In Portland. Sadly, the Frog can’t save us all. Spread the word — The fascists exist and we have to fight however we can.

WTF 🤬
Goons brutally pushed a peaceful protester to the ground and dragged them across the floor.

I thought Donald didn’t like Muslim folks? You’re right, this stuff is weird.

Okay that’s awesome. Good job. Assuming you eventually land it.

A look at the city always pleases me is that, for being a city, it seem incredibly small, clean, low to the ground. Wandering from the area still gives you views of the mountains and ranges, which I never enjoyed in Seattle , San Francisco, or Los Angeles (which are impressive in their own ways).

Portland Oregon seen from Pittock Mansion. Different angle than the typical view from Washington Park seen from the south side of town where the (ugly) Wells Fargo building is prominent; This is to the (less ugly, “Big Pink”) U.S. Bancorp side to the north.

The city continues to be not on fire.

Portland Oregon as seen from Pittock Mansion in the West Hills. This is a different angle than the typical view from Washington Park as seen from the side of town where the (ugly) Wells Fargo building is prominent to the south; here is closer to the (less ugly, aka Big Pink) U.S. Bancorp Tower side to the north.

The city continues to be not on fire.

Close to the scenic fantasyland of Barbur Transit Center. 🚌

City by city, town to town, even frog to frog, fight the fascists down. Portland loves you and supports you.

Portland in October and particularly at night… it can get kinda cold and damp. There’s been times just walking home from the store a frog outfit would have made me very happy.

Hell yeah Portland. Every town, every city needs to find an iconic fighter again fascism. Skateboard Kid in LA, or Scooter Guy in Chicago, or here, we have an inflatable frog. Without that personal identity, our flag, our banner for our city, the fight is much harder to unify ourselves.

Icon of the Portland Frog, saying Amphibians Against Fascism. It’s a reference to the Antifa icon.

Modified of the antifa flag to represent the Portland Frog, saying “AMPHIFA: AMPHIBIANS AGAINST FASCISM”

^cat. Is not car. Cars are quieter and do not run over mice as much.

My parent’s car ZZ, named because of the snazzy black and white colors. She likes to remind everyone he is a sharp dressed man. 🎸🥁🎸

Large longhair cat, mostly black fur but toes, chest, and nose (or “scnozz”) is white. He is looking at the camera looking exasperated.

In all honesty I was getting increasingly tense and unhappy. Then came the night of Portland Frog. Now I’m still tense but know I can see joy and a future that maybe… maybe things will be all right.

That sounds goofy and it sort of is but… it’s true. All praise Portland Frog.

Put a frog on it and call it art.

Hello from Portland — Show them who you are and who they aren’t!

Lusus Naturae @7lusus4.bsky.social · 3d

Okay, if the GOP wants me to take them seriously, they have to BE serious. Otherwise I’m taking them seriously messes you make serious but otherwise they’re whiney little bastards running in circles and setting themselves.

And I apologize to actual small children.

Dysentery. Great beer, pot, quinoa, excellent burritos, hiking, falafel, skiing, salmon… AND DYSENTERY.
