Things are terrible on the federal level right now, but tbh I'm excited about PDX's new leadership. Challenges, yes, but there are some bright minds and good ideas on City Council.

Neighborhoods like Irvington and Laurelhurst and Eastmoreland want to preserve themselves in amber while the rest of the city absorbs all the new development. Doesn't seem right, does it? Go ahead and write your testimony in support of HB 2138. PNW has great explainers and suggestions.
Oregon law requires demolition review for National Register Districts, which allows small groups of homeowners to unilaterally exempt themselves from allowing new homes in entire neighborhoods- but House Bill 2138 has language that would repeal that requirement.

Devastated to hear of the passing of Martin Pilkington.

America is a nation with a history of maniacs, from its very beginning, who have looked at something they haven't liked and fought against it. Over long, long odds and fought and won and fought more.

NEW: Legislation that would bar the United States government from spying on journalists—except under rare, specific circumstances—is currently stalled in Congress.
Now, with only weeks left to legislate, press advocates are urging Senate Democrats to pass the bill, known as the PRESS Act.

Senate Democrats Are Running Out of Time to Pass a Shield Law to Protect Journalism
The PRESS Act, which would protect journalists from government spying, enjoys broad bipartisan support and has passed the House—but it’s unclear whether the Senate will take it up.

I just firmly believe the internet needs a corner of weirdos talking to each other, and I have been a little despondent, on a personal and professional basis, that that felt truly lost lately.
