For the record, this idea is about 72 hours old. I'm still working on building the infrastructure parts of getting this going, but the response has been pretty overwhelming (in a good way!)

I wanna make sure we're able to support both our volunteers & projects. Look for an info session next week.

Tula-Tu is ready for you!

Beginning Friday, Feb. 21, Tula and the rest of the herd can be seen together inside Forest Hall from about 10 to 2. Hours are subject to change, and the area may be closed if Rose and her calf need some quiet time to themselves.

Hi! Stepping into this new platform. Unsure how it works but here I am!

My name is Keven and I love to create 3D designs that bring joy and look cute too!

I use Nomad on my iPad Pro and print using a Bambu Labs A1 Mini.

Welcome anyone interested in 3D printing!

Today I've mostly been listening to the soundtrack of Subspace Rhapsody (the musical episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds). Damn they really nailed that episode. Really looking forward to season 3.

Woof. What a story. Welsh cartoonist Alex Norris is embroiled in a years long ordeal to fend off a US company that claims his strip is THEIR intellectual property. Norris has won several rounds in court, but the suits lurch on w/ crippling legal costs, which is no doubt the strategy.

My immediate plan is to be offline as much as possible and double-down on my community, especially my local one. Grieve, regroup, plan, endure.

As @lizneeley.bsky.social first said to me in 2016, “There is no wall to put our back against—except each other.”

Keith Wilson, who was just elected as Portland's Mayor, owns an all-electric trucking company. He funds training programs to improve driver safety. He completed the PSU/PBOT overview course on transportation, and he supports climate action.

We're excited to get to work with Mayor Wilson! 🚲

Hey folks! What are good dev conferences/meetups in Portland Oregon these days? I recently moved back and would love to reconnect with the community.

I think I might be a MinMax knitter. I only do cowls, but I’m getting really good at them. 😛

Working on yet another TinCanKnits cowl for my kid. Gonna work on a matching one for myself next. Really loving these colors.

Designer friends,

Users don't care how many hours you spent pixel-perfecting the design as much as they care about being able to use it to get things done when they need to.

Too much usability is sacrificed for "aesthetics".

I did #BulletJournal for a few years with a pencil and notebook. I loved the process and having a space to reflect. But having to carry a notebook became impractical.

Anyone have a favourite #journaling app or digital process? Especially interested in something with a portable format.

I’m experimenting using micro.blog for cross posting mastodon, bsky, and posting to my static site. Anyone used it or other tools for this? What’s working best for folks?
