Jordy created a website where visitors can contribute $35 to “provide an inflatable costume for a True American.™”

He initially hoped to collect enough to buy a couple dozen suits.

But as he put it -- “This whole thing has blown up a lot.”

for Portlanders marching this Saturday who want the best tactical gear without feeding Amazon, our local party supply house The Lippman Company has plenty of inflatable costumes

outside The Lippman Co. with employees holding up rainbow flag balloons- there's no form more graceful than The Arch, no object more whimsical than The Balloon

If possible, do not bring your real phone. Write at least one phone number on your body in sweat-proof sharpie in case you get kettled and need to call someone.

Wear a mask, if you're going to be crowded in with people.

Wear the most common and nondescript clothing you can.

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

Me, sobbing because everything is scary and someday my cats will die and music is beautiful and sad and I can't take my socks off and my head is hot: "What is WRONG with me????"

12 hours later, spotting the full Sunday pillbox just as the Effexor withdrawal spins start: "Oh."

Never fails.

a saga:

Shadow of a shadow of a @shadowofashadowofa.bsky.social · 3d

The silo was dead quiet when I got there. No wind. No bugs. The kind of stillness that makes your skin itch because it feels like the Earth’s holding its breath.

I parked the cruiser and stepped out. Called it in—nothing unusual so far.

someone on the Internet who really wants to convince you to shine lasers at manned aircraft as a protest tactic “because they did it in Chile in 2019” is either:

1. a fascist fed, or,

2. so terminally stupid that they have become functionally indistinguishable from one

Because boy, howdy, nobody knows ritual and symbolism like the Catholic Church, and having it turned squarely back on the Very Bad Catholics who have been the public standard-bearers of wielding it for evil for so long is really good to see.

There’s something happening here

There’s a frog with a cape over there
Tellin me, I got to beware

You better stop, children
What’s that sound?
Everybody look, they’re croaking now

I will gladly draw all of the frogs as a symbol for the movement, explicitly to take them back from the fuckers who co opted Pepe for their nazi shit.

Supreme Court: of course states can regulate, and restrict access to, medical procedures if there’s a compelling public interest

Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors)
