I'm laughing with you. I write. I live in a fifth wheel traveling the dystopian US. Ask me anything about RV life except where i am. I like rocks and trees and writing and dogs and photography and human rights She/her.

this is where i spawned, i don't care what that hospital said

a dirt path through ferns, with coastal redwoods and other trees visible

you can see the roots twisting along the path, because redwoods reach out to each other and grow better together

I see a lot of people saying that a person charged with a crime deserves the chance to prove their innocence.

Please stop doing this because you have it backwards and this is really important.

It is ALWAYS the government's burden to prove a person guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Cannabis is not “often laced with fentanyl” because ‘fentanyl-laced cannabis’ is another myth and just more misinformation

Marijuana laced with fentanyl? Claims unfounded, doctor says

Concerns over fentanyl have grown as more drugs are being laced with the deadly narcotic.

the mayor just repeated his constant refrain that ICE agents in portland need to abide by PPB standards, such as wearing body cameras, limits on munitions, etc. could "using a dog as a threat" be a violation of PPB standards?

like i know police dogs attack people constantly but i didn't think the cops acknowledged that the dog was just a weapon they could use to brutalize someone for misbehaving

This might be a terrible idea but I'd at least be emailing the mayor if they have a "contact us" method, with a link to wherever this is reported.

concerned constituent, etc, saw this, have these questions (is this allowed and within PPB guidelines, etc)
