The theater was sold out and I watched online with 300+ others - worth finding the recording and watching in full

Yup, I live-streamed from home and there were hundreds watching on YouTube

I live in an area where Anna's live year round, and we had a freak snow and cold snap. They would buzz me as I was replacing their frozen food!

... Are you talking about my family?! Myself and three siblings are fine, one sibling in and out of prison. He had bad vibes since he was an infant. Just zero impulse or anger control, even compared to his fraternal twin.

I once did bespoke demographic multipliers for a region showing barely any kids even coming out of SF housing these days, and even lower from apartments.
"Well, I saw a "lower-income" family with 5 kids recently!"
Whole housing plan shot down.

There were a few people who asked, "How do we know you're not part of Big Vegan and lying to us now?" and the very reasonable response was, "You don't! That's my point!"

I saw that too! Like, if you've been out you'd know that this isn't the 2020 protests. I've been going out with my cell phone and my whole face out in the open since spring and I haven't been black-bagged yet (in Portland even!)

Oh sure! But yeah if it's outside controlled airspace you don't need a flight plan with the FAA (LAANC). Some cities have local ordinances about drones on the books (can't fly in public parks, etc.) but you don't need to pre-file anything.

Anything bigger than 249 g technically requires a whole FAA-issued pilots license (Part 107) and you can get that shit revoked for doing dumb stuff like flying by an airport.

Air Traffic Control is absolutely still working! If you see a drone that's obviously bigger than a cheap toy please call that in!
October 2, 2025 at 6:19 PM
Did you actually call? Critical aviation safety at the FAA is currently work without pay. I just this morning had to file a drone flight request for work and it went through without issue, but maybe that's automated.

"Ride roughshod" usually means "going forward with something that is permitted by right and is perfectly within the regulations but is offensive to me"

I mean, it's not complicated - wealthy white people don't want to live within sight of poor people who may be non-white.

That town didn't build there to save that lady from having to buy curtains.

I once had an elderly woman in HYSTERICS at a public meeting because an undeveloped parcel of land, which was being suggested as a good place for affordable housing, would have tenants that could "look in her windows". This would have been across a road and with setbacks.

Google the Kerns Neighborhood Association and there's a sign-up on their website! The newsletters usually have cool upcoming events or volunteer opportunities

I'm extra smug, living in Kerns (our neighborhood association emails now have a permalink to that TimeOut ranking). If I already live in the coolest neighborhood in the US, where would I go on vacation?!

I'm a cis lady, when I carry a big purse I usually have a multitool or pocketknife in it. It does feel like gender fuckery when someone is surprised I have one!

(If you are looking for recommendations) I like the ones with the built-in wireless bra from Duluth Trading Co. Substantial fabric and long enough to stay tucked in, if that's your vibe! I only offer this because I was literally looking at buying more today.

Calls done! Thank you!

Is the king nerd the Parliamentarian or Merkley? I'm a new Oregonian and psyched about my Senators and want to use that title if applicable!

Liberal Democrat here, just protested yesterday at an ICE facility where people got hit with pepperballs. Protesting tomorrow as well!

Similar to "Dems are always bad", "vegans are always bad." There was all that uproar about how almond milk is terrible and needs too much water... While it still uses less water than dairy milk!
