Now having seen the simplicity of making friends with crows, I think we in the #PacificNorthwest should train our crows to come and get dog treats every time we blow our #ICE whistles, so that when something is going down the agents are unnerved by the sudden, ominous appearance of a murder of crows.

EDIT: There are roughly twenty thousand crows in #Portland.

Update: Day four, have $265 so far and need $1000 by the 5th to avoid housing issues. 🙏

Need minimum $1000 to stave off landlord... late fee hits on 5th.

Negative on all accounts & have no resources.

If anyone is able *any* amount helps!

After @bh announced the closing of the pdx.sh Mastodon instance, I thought I would stay on local server's, and joined @pdx.social (thanks for having me).

After migrating servers, should I re-introduce myself? I'm a tech nerd who toots about #emacs, #solorpg and the local #jazz scene in #Portland.

Oh, and with the acquisition of an original Apple IIc computer, I guess I'm now into #retrocomputing. 😎

The homeless industrial complex continues.

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.

TGIF! I'm happy as a clam because I'm here at my favorite little place in #Portland: Little River Café at the Riverplace Marina. Been too long since I was here… 🥰

Sitting in the mostly dark at 3:45 pm thinking I should actually get off the couch and start my day. The end of the year in #Portland can be rough.

@markwyner

It is so impressive to see how you are fighting back in Portland. Solidarity greetings from southern Germany. I was in prison for a while and received friendly and supportive letters from Portland for years.

I am now free and work for a small non-commercial radio station. Next week I am travelling to Dresden (in eastern Germany), where the trial against 'Antifa-Ost' is beginning. Just a few days ago, the Trump administration put them on the anti-terrorism list.
That's so crazy!
