Hello new followers!
I think I've been added to a chemistry-related starter pack? Thanks for following, I will likely post mostly about Portland stuff, maps, GIS, ecology, and some environmental chemistry.
Letting you know, incase that's not what you want to see!

I remember as a kid we one to Nantucket for a week in the summer and I loved biking around the island so much because the separated bike paths amazing. Years later I enjoyed the Shining Sea Bikeway in Cape Cod.
Damn, the whole country could have been like that, except this guy fought against it!

WATCH: If you REALLY want to understand a BIG reason why cycling [aka riding a bike] is so dangerous in North America, and one of the biggest villains in the origin story of our unsafe status quo, invest some time watching this one, by NOT JUST BIKES (aka @theurbanistagenda.com here).

The Trump administration has no good answers on affordability, which is why they’re doing the same move they’ve always done - lying about non-white people
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Either that or even a year before that when he got up at the rally and did an impression of the reporter with a disability.
It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

I just bought a condo and I get junk mail – physical mail – from scammers that do public record scrapes and tell me I need to contact them about my mortgage. Own the place less than a week and already got “second notice” fake warning mail scams.
Having a kid in college means endless spam calls from companies asking us to take out even more loans.

Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load.
So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

Well I just learned from a very mean immigration officer that I was meant to log in and update my global entry account to reflect that I got a new passport… last year.
Anyway, heads up in case you also didn’t know that!
