Really loving the location of this presser. On screens all over the city/state/country folks will see people on bikes, on foot, and on scooters rolling by on the background!

For folks outside of Portland, you should know that the protests outside ICE happen a block up from the Old Spaghetti factory, which is a giant, campy Italian place you take grandparents and children to because it has a trolley in the dining area. It still does brisk business. #WarRavagedPortland

I have permanently deleted my Facebook account. Not enough value for the time waster it is. I don't particularly like Bluesky's setup, to much like Twitter, but I don't feel like making content for Zuckerberg anymore. I'll try to log on here regularly if anyone wants to get ahold of me.

Tula-Tu is ready for you!
Beginning Friday, Feb. 21, Tula and the rest of the herd can be seen together inside Forest Hall from about 10 to 2. Hours are subject to change, and the area may be closed if Rose and her calf need some quiet time to themselves.
