Hello new followers!
I think I've been added to a chemistry-related starter pack? Thanks for following, I will likely post mostly about Portland stuff, maps, GIS, ecology, and some environmental chemistry.
Letting you know, incase that's not what you want to see!

No, not really. Just strange she didn’t like a group of knitters who would come there and buy things on a regular basis.

Courtney Shannon @cshannonpdx.bsky.social · 13h

Yeah, some mornings.

Another one is the owner of Bison Coffeehouse, which is nowhere near downtown. Also, this was years ago, she didn’t like it when a friend of mine organized an occasional knitting meetup at her shop.

I know this is all bullshit because I can’t buy war insurance for work travel to Chicago.

One of my favorite things about Joe Biden is that when he was president I could go days, sometimes even weeks, without thinking about or hearing about him and his grievances. Discussions in public could be about other topics!

On the one hand, women should do whatever they want with their hair, but I really wish after all of this, and in particular due to that woman in the video, to never see Utah curls again.

LOL, I need to do this more too.

I also like it that they are holding American flags. We waited too long, but ever since Jan. 6th, we get the flag now.

That's Providore Fine Foods. That's the place I go to, plan on spending $30, but end up spending $80.

Yeah, I can't believe how great the variety of cheese I can get here are. Both local and international.

"So that over there is Antifa?"

"Yes Ma'am. We call this chicken front."

"And again over there too, right?"

"Yeah, but that's geriatric front. It's a two front situation. We're penned in."

Yeah. We were going to camps where we'd learn to farm or some shit. My dude, let me move around labels on maps and give feedback on colors, it's what I'm good at. I do nothing but kill all the plants I get. Nobody wants me to farm.

Tariffs on Japan, England, and Germany... the countries where I get 90% of my art supplies and tea from.

Man, I don't want to do any of this packing and moving shit. I just want to take a nap and do art. Ah well.

Courtney Shannon @cshannonpdx.bsky.social · 2d

Yes, numbers for tiers, not letters!

Courtney Shannon @cshannonpdx.bsky.social · 2d

I'm sorry, but when I see "s-tier" I think "shit-tier" not "special-tier."

FWIW, MRIs kind of suck? Maybe another test will show something?

My knee MRI didn’t show a meniscus tear, then after a year more of pain the surgeon saw one when he was in there. Fixed it, boom, pain mostly gone.
