With all the suspicion and mystery around Sen. Wyden’s letter to the CIA, there isn’t much to say. The letter is classified. For all the implications and criticisms of that fact, it is the reality. For now, and maybe for a long time, the public won’t know what it contains. It could be about Bigfoot. […]

There’s a moment I still keep with me. It’s fragile and delicate. It’s close to twenty years old now and still doesn’t drive, but that’s perfectly fine with me. I don’t know how much of the moment is a memory or how much has been filled in and switched out over the years. For example, […]

I don’t know who you are, or whether you’re a man or a woman. I may never see you. I may never hug you or cry with you or get drunk with you. But I love you. I hope you escape this place. I hope that the world turns and that things get better, and […]

I can’t work up the courage to talk to any of my friends when I’m having mental health issues. It hits the worst for me usually at 4-5 am, and I never want to wake anyone up when I’m having panic attacks that late due to my intrusive thoughts, even though being around people helps. […]

Why is it that when I get on a bus on a hot day all the windows are closed and the AC is off? The Sun is beating down on me and I am sweltering. No one else seems to care. Conversely, whenever it’s cold and wet outside, half the windows are open, the heat […]

I can’t believe I’ve been reading these for years and never clicked through to post. I guess that sums up so much of my life. The 90s support for gay rights because who you love as a consenting adult shouldn’t matter to 20s out nonbinary queer pipeline. Interest in EFF because cyber philosophy to Thanks […]

Welcome to the sum times. Some people look away while others add things up. Some are waiting for someone else to do it for them, hoping the numbers will work themselves out. But no. The sum is yours to calculate. We can help each other, that’s how it all holds together,but at the end of […]

To whom it may concern, I’m a mom of a set of twin kids they are about 4.5 yrs old they are pretty independent kids but still need mom and dads help for somethings. I told dad twin A needs this, dad said ok. And let it be. I got up and tended to twins […]

I’ve lost all faith in your ability to rise to the occasion. I don’t see leaders, I see complacent followers doing their job. I don’t care about ICE’s legality of their actions. I don’t care about fining ICE. I’ve started many drafts about my disappointment in our elects to protect citizens. Many deleted lines attempting […]

Maybe it wouldn’t have made much difference, but often when I take TriMet somewhere, people remark something to the effect of, “Oh, I didn’t know there were buses along there”. Examples: direct lines from Lake Oswego to Tualatin (37), Oregon City to Tualatin / Tigard etc (76), a route along Forest Park from Downtown to […]

Hi Friends, [Redacted] here again, your friendly neighborhood chief of antifa counterintelligence (not my choice in title). Once upon a time a coworker at the day job asked me if we should sweep the boss’s office for bugs. I told them nah, because they already have our phones. Some people freak out to this knowledge, […]

We used to work together. There was a falling out based on your unaccountability, privilege, and unconstructive criticism of creative types, for which you are completely incapable of doing said creative things. 5 years later, how on earth, we work at the same place. You worked in a different department but because you are so […]
