Anyone in/near #Portland #pdx want to adopt an adult #beardedDragon with all his stuff? I just don't really have the time to hold him or keep cutting fresh vegetables for him every other day.
I've got an old Oculus Rift. It works, but has two problems:
1) The speakers are broken. This is easily remedied by using your own headset or earbuds.
2) Meta now insists that you log into Facebook to use it.
Anybody in Portland want it?
thanks so much to everyone who voted and or boosted the poll!
apologies to the 1/3 of folks for whom that date/time/park combo won't work - I am hopeful we will do this again, or something similar, so keep watching #pdx and being awesome.
I'm always happy to receive ideas for how we could do more of this kind of thing! I do love organizing stuff. :D
Hope to meet so many of you in person!
#PDX the voting has concluded and we're having a Fediverse meetup on Sunday, Sept 14, at 1p, at Laurelhurst Park.
Let's say it's 2 hours - drop in any time in there that works for you!
Let's meet near the stairs up to Ankeny on the north side of the park (I think that's just west of the bathrooms)
Bring picnic blankets, chairs, snacks, whatever will make you comfortable. It's a park, so kids and dogs are welcome (everyone else will have theirs!)
trrraaaaainnns!
I’ll of course get to all the major St. John’s bridge murals, but what about all the little DIY St. John’s bridge paintings on like peoples random porches and shit? how many neighborhoods have this level of allegiance to a local landmark? #pdx
everyone wants to paint the bridge on stuff, including intersections, I’ve seen two different St. John’s bridge street murals so far #pdx
i wish everyone could experience Boxcar Pizza, Rudy's Pizza, and Secret Pizza Society here in #pdx ,,, just the best pizza ever
bought a bouquet from a fella at the St. John’s farmers market with the St. John’s bridge tattooed on his arm, and so begins what I intend to be a longer term thread of local St. John’s bridge iconography #pdx

If the complaint is true, it appears either sheriff officials ignored a judge's order or someone from ICE/DoJ instructed them to violate a judge's order.
Multnomah County leadership better figure this out quick; can't have this type of lawlessness and insubordination spreading.
