2026 is going to be a little more confusing in news feeds with both Portland and Seattle having a "Mayor Wilson". Keith Wilson in took office Jan 2025. Katie Wilson in takes office Jan 2026.

I guess with a similar situation happening again, it makes it a West Coast tradition. Oregon and California both had a Governor Brown at the same time in 2015-2018.

🧵 JOB HELP! My oldest daughter just learned her role may be affected by upcoming layoffs and is starting her job search. I’m reaching out to my PDX network for any leads, connections, or advice that could help her land on her feet quickly. She’s smart, hardworking, and ready for new opportunities. If you know of companies hiring, people to meet, or any tips, I’d be so grateful. Thank you for keeping her in mind! Her info in next toot. 1/2

Now having seen the simplicity of making friends with crows, I think we in the should train our crows to come and get dog treats every time we blow our whistles, so that when something is going down the agents are unnerved by the sudden, ominous appearance of a murder of crows.

EDIT: There are roughly twenty thousand crows in .

Another illustration from the 3 unique postcard images I created for the P.S. 10 exhibition at @nucleusportland that's happening right now! There are a ton of incredible artists all taking part in the show! If you're in the Portland, OR area go check it out!

A cartoon illustration of a miserable sleepless vampire in a coffin surrounded by a crowd of happily sleeping vampires in coffins. Title underneath reads "The Day Owl."

Huh. Did you know that Portland, Detroit, Ypsilani, Seattle & Long Beach (WA) have free payphones? They're run by an indie organisation called Futel. You can visit the phone booth, make a call and that will connect you with an operator who will help you connect further:

"We do not judge the motivations of our users, or who they choose to call; if they don’t have someone to call, we can provide a presence on the other end."

Poll below!

Have you seen the incredible artwork that @CJevelyn made in response to the call looking for a human-made version of a popular poster?

She generously agreed to release it with a license, which means that you are free to share, modify and/or print & around your town.

The original AI poster had "Resist" written at top. Would any people like to add that or something else?

Now I'm thinking instead of a propaganda poster, what about a motivational poster?

Fuck ICE
Because fuck 'em, that's why!

Amazing digital artwork by @CJevelyn of the Portland Frog & Phoenix Eagle squaring off against a phalanx of ice fascists stormtroopers at the Portland ice facility. While a sniper points a rifle at them.
