Does the plan to tear down the Lloyd Center seriously include building a million square feet of office space? Is there not enough vacant office space in this city already? Do we think the internet is a fad and people will soon be clamoring to return to cubicles? Or is this a prank of some […]

The Hair
I wouldn’t consider myself a crazy hairy person except for my head, really, but I got hairs all over my body. My face is the only area I shave. I got hair on my head, as stated. Hair on my arms, legs, back, chest, pits, and balls. Again, I’m not that hairy. I shower pretty […]
Above The Sand, Going Under
How’s it going out there Portland? Crazy times? I’ve been burying my head in the sand lately, after burning myself out trying to play my part in our current affairs (keeping it vague). It’s been nice to rejuvenate at home, alone in solitude. There’s an End of the World Party happening soon (preceded by a […]
Admire from afar
I’m clear minded and have not lost myself to you in the last year or so. You almost seem like a different person or maybe it was just that I created in my mind a lot of what I enjoyed about you. Just an elaborate escapism fantasy to bring about some excitement. We’re past all […]
Hey Bus Dickface
You’re supposed to stay on schedule for all major stops, not just blow past them 4 minutes early (and when there’s a group of people walking up to the bus stop who clearly want your bus). Thanks a lot dickface.
Am I Karen?
For a good 5 years and longer, my teen neighbor kids and their friends play “Bball” in their 400 to 600 square ft concrete backyard. First, there’s the intermittent and non rhythmic pounding of the ball, let’s say on a quiet Sun morning. Then there’s all the times the ball bangs up against our shared […]
Parasocial Nightmare
After a brilliant set by Paris Sashay, I was bored to gay tears by Matteo Laneโs set at the Schinzter. This was not a tight hour of comedyโit was podcast blather and impressions of impressions. It was bragging and name dropping without any self-reflection. The audience guffawed throughout! I guess you had to have already […]
Fortuity
Not always, but at times…Every now and then…Once in a while…More often than not…A handful of times… This is the most normal occurrence but it happens in other realms to me too. Coincidences. Serendipity. I’ll be watching a movie, and love a song, and need to learn who it is. Upon research, I garner the […]
Things Are Weird
I am here connecting with my queerness, or trying to. I am here remembering to smile when I look in the mirror. I am here filling my physical spaces with affirmations and joyful rebellion. I am here talking to my therapist in too delicate of a way. I am here worrying about the way I […]
Love them, but let them go
I love basketball, and I love the Blazers, but honestly folks, if we have 600 million dollars to spend we need to spend that money on schools, and housing people. It will be painful to see them leave, but it’s the right decision based on real economic data, not the convoluted logic that a low […]
Flashing Yellow Lights
I hope folks know that the yellow flashing hazard lights don’t excuse them from parking illegally or without paying on city streets? Or to just stay there and wait for someone or something? Or even to have the hazards going but exit your car to go do something real quick? Do you folks know this? […]
My Bad?
I walked into an eatery, and it was empty. But I saw the employee turn and walk away from me. Mind you, this is such a normal response I expect because it happens that employees don’t really wanna serve, and do talk shit about customers. I had my music on headphones so it is my […]
