Opening shelter beds isn’t the same as ending unsheltered homelessness. We’re seeing more people become homeless than we can house, and we run the risk of creating a bottleneck if we spend all our money on increasing a resource that is meant to be temporary.
Mayor Wilson pledged to end unsheltered homelessness in Portland by Dec. 1.
Today, people are still sleeping on Portland streets.
But Wilson did met one goal: He secured $$ to open his goal of 1,500 new beds. (Yet only 890 of those beds are currently open for use.)
Where we're at/what's next:

Are we sure Ricky Chilton isn’t a country persona of Tim Robinson
As before with him, I tap the "Irony is corrosive!" sign.
But the ragtimey piano on this *slaps*.

The way I try to de-AI-ify my classes is that I emphasize at the beginning and throughout the semester that all we're doing is reading some interesting shit other humans have produced, talking about that shit, and writing about it. Humans have been benefitting from that process for centuries w/o AI.

Tonight’s mood: the 4 was sad we couldn’t have a pool day in the backyard (it’s pitch black and raining outside) so she’s wearing her watermelon swimsuit in a warm bath, screaming into the water

For those who are curious (none of you), we pretended to be lizards, giraffes, iguanas, African painted dogs, crows, eagles, cats, chickens, songbirds, dragonflies, grasshoppers, caterpillars AND butterflies (including a chrysalis stage), and then of course raccoons
Last night we pretended to be at least 20 different species while we were hanging out in the living room, and I was sitting on the floor when my daughter said RACCOONS so imagine my surprise when I turned around and actually saw a raccoon looking at me through the window
