To get this Mutual Coordinates podcast going im going to have to raise money.

I’m in a job that’s absolutely pointless right now. if I can raise $1000/mo towards the project it would be worth it enough for me redirect my energy.

It’s draining energy for me that could go towards helping people

I’m looking locally first and professionally but if anybody knows an actual genuine high-quality bookkeeper who knows how to whip a small Non Profit into shape and has some kind of sliding scale. We are looking right now.

needs to be easy and something in the wheelhouse of the person or company.

I’m in that mood Ware a project has been finished and completed and the starting is this incubating itchy unknown chaotic mode and I woke up this morning realizing that that is exactly the right place to be the unformed the unnamed the strange the instinctual the preclassified

Thinking about what would happen to any and all sports with two binary dichotomous teams if there were two other “teams” also playing.

Along with
Team A &
Team Z

also

Team “Both A & B together” &
Team “Neither A nor B”

So:

- I’d like the opportunity to bridge this and get back to being genuinely useful to you all.

This means I’m reaching out during this very difficult time to ask for a push of donations.

So a low chapter in Portland history is that a lot of the gentrification in North Portland followed a period where some of the hospitals in Portland started putting liens on homes of people who had hospital bills shown to have been largely focused on neighborhoods with high black home ownership

So if you are lucky enough to hear a tree trimmer making wood chips I would go talk to them and see if you can get it dumped wherever you live. Over the winter it’s OK to let the pile steam rather than spread it out but it’s also OK to spread it out if that’s the aesthetics you need

reminder that Portland is on the mouth of the Columbia river, a river so completetely damed that it represents the greatest source of hydroelectric power on the continent.

it produces "more that 40% of US hydroelectric generation"

An important thing we can recover when we feel small or alone is to realize that a huge amount of the power that creates a sense of inevitability is through the erasure of connections and history. The difference between a construction of the individual & the fact that most things are relational
