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! 💚

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.

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 · 2d

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 👏

It’s never lost on me that NWSL pays for PRO2 level referees because they can’t/won’t pay for the PRO level and at some point, all the owners in the league are going to need to talk about that if they want to be serious

Ella Brockway @ellabrockway.bsky.social · 2d

Trinity Rodman speaks out on the refereeing in yesterday’s Spirit-Wave game. (You probably know this, but poor officiating has been a theme across the league this NWSL season.)

“This is one of many examples…. Refs need to be better at managing these games. No words”

These two Timbers fans were the most famous people in American soccer when the opposing team's would-be playoff penalty shootout winner in 2015 clanked off BOTH goalposts. I was there and it was absolutely insane and these guys were all of us www.reddit.com/r/MLS/commen...

there are many filmmakers whom i clearly recognize as major artists while remaining completely untouched and, frankly, annoyed by their work. learning the difference between "i hate", "it's bad", and "it just isn't for me" has been a crucial feature of my maturation as an artist and human being.
