This is interesting. Normally I dislike left-side PBLs, but next to a bus lane it makes more sense. #PDX #SafeStreets #ProtectedBikeLanes #BikeTooter

If you've been to the Lloyd center recently, you can envision a better future for it than tearing it down. I just signed the petition to https://SaveLloyd.com https://www.change.org/p/save-lloyd-center-mall #pdx #SaveLloyd

The homeless industrial complex continues.
"Portland now charges homeless people fees to reclaim towed RVs they have been living in"

I'm just running my own #Mastodon instance here, so I don't have a ton of reach.
I'd love it if any of you who are willing would boost/quote this post.
My current SRE role is coming to an end, and the current market is scary.
The most current project was getting 3 line-of-business applications (for a national retailer!) moved to AWS, with some infra design, and lots of Terraform and Ansible.
I've got some Python chops, too.
I'm looking for a new role, remote preferred, or local to the PDX area.

Edit - thank you for all the helpful advice, folks!
Details about the subpar storage options - any stack would only be inches from the house. The biggest stack I could store is half a face cord.

Are there any firewood Mastodon folks out here? I have a question about storing seasoned wood for our wood stove but our outdoor space is a bit... cramped, with the only viable spaces for storage being subpar at best. Any helpful advice would be appreciated.

Weekly #forestpark #pdx update: Kinda miserable for trail running, tbh. The leaves were pasted to the trail with mud and the canopy above was just letting all the rain through.
Plenty of solitude and foggy views. Very #silentsunday themed.
I just wanted a hot shower and warm house afterwards.

Earlier today in Portland, OR, there were confirmed sightings of an ICE vehicle near Menlo Park Elementary School.
When I arrived to the school, there was a handful of concerned community members keeping watch outside of and nearby the school. The vehicle that had been spotted before I arrived made an appearance about 3 times while I was there. Driving by slowly, sometimes parking closely, and at one point filming us.
A little before noon this ICE vehicle was parked with two other vehicles on a neighborhood street about a block away from the school.
A few minutes later, this car rolled up on me and the others there as we were standing outside in front of the school. This is a different vehicle than the one that had been spotted earlier.
Unfortunately, I was talking to someone on the phone when they rolled up, so my video did not capture the audio. But this is what they said:
The federal officer in the passenger seat got out of the car and proceeded to tell me, unprompted, that they were the “sex trafficking unit”
He went on to say that there was an offender in the area, and told me and the few concerned community members nearby that if we supported sex offenders we were doing a good job at blowing their cover. As I got closer, I questioned him about this supposed “sex trafficking unit,” to which he responded “yeah, we’re with the department of homeland security”
I couldn’t tell how many were in the vehicle, but there were definitely more feds in the back in tactical gear too. The fed in the passenger seat was the only one who did not have his face covered. You can see as they drive away they have what appears to be garbage bags covering their windows.
A community member otg who had been doing migra watch informed me that this exact vehicle was last spotted at the Portland ICE facility on November 10th, the day before yesterday.
