Seems like time for an intro! 👋

I’m a Portlander who can’t stop making merch about the things I care about most – #football ( #rctid, #baonpdx, #fcunion), #birds, #anti-fascism, #Portland & #Cascadia.

A chunk of profits goes to woke-ass orgs here in PDX. Reposts are appreciated! 💚

It's interesting seeing the different ways resistance has formed in different cities. Los Angeles Organized, Chicago Radicalized, and Portland Got Weird as Fuck. All 3 have had success unifying their respective cities.

I guess my point is there are multiple paths to ungovernability.

happy 99th birthday to the opening of Providence Park. didn’t quite reach this claim of 100,000 seats, but its longevity is a testament to a lack of funds for replacements and begrudging acceptance 🙃

also grateful for images like this so the It WaS bUiLt FoR bAsEbAlL crowd doesn’t get started again

I can’t agree that the Reagan era was ‘smart’, but the ratio is definitely slipping.

The combo of dumb and evil happens so frequently in American politics that you’ve gotta wonder if one is a precondition for the other.

Listen. ONE of the reasons I rock with Dolly (Capricorn Gang) is because she’s always proven to me that integrity may cause you pain, but it will never be the reason you suffer. Which is not to say that suffering won’t come, but it’ll never be because you abandoned yourself. That’ll keep you going.

I hear she has supported school bands as well: www.thepinknews.com/2022/10/10/d...

Dolly Parton quietly funded Black school bands: 'The woman is a national treasure'

Dolly Parton paid for band uniforms and instruments for kids at majority Black high schools with zero publicity, a writer has revealed.

Yes, please tell me more about how Antifa's roots go back [checks notes] almost 100 years to [rechecks notes, looks in mirror to make sure not having stroke] German anti-Nazi dissidents in the Weimar Republic.

"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."

Anybody know the Frog?

People are asking for merch, but I wouldn’t do that without permission.

I’ll donate proceeds to whomever/wherever they choose – please message me!

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

I can't stop thinking about PPB's on the ground response last night.

There is a nationwide magnifying glass on them right now. Their first PR concern the past few months has been to optically distance themselves from federal officers, and more specifically "immigration enforcement."

The midfield of Chara-Nagbe-Valeri from 2013-17 was one of the best MLS will ever see. #RCTID

Portland drafting Nagbe 2nd overall and signing Chara as their first DP laid the groundwork for the Timbers early success.

Congrats on a legendary career Nagbe!

Tom Bogert @tombogert.bsky.social · 3d

BREAKING: Columbus Crew midfielder and MLS legend Darlington Nagbe is retiring after the 2025 MLS season, per sources.

Nagbe, 35, is a four-time MLS Cup winner (2015, 2018, 2020, 2023) with three clubs (Portland, Atlanta, Columbus).

One of MLS's best-ever midfielders 👏
