“Anything we do that is not optimizing getting people out of cars and getting them to a bus stop, or allowing them to walk from their neighborhood to a school with their kids, or do a #bikeBus, or ride, walk & roll around [#Portland] — If we are not prioritizing that —then every other little piddly, marginal thing we do for the climate is much less important, because most of our emissions come from automobiles… and I think it’ll save us money in the long run.” 🎯 💯 #ClimateAction #transportation

At least in #Portland, where all public meetings are held in the nude and on bikes, socialism is understood as economic policy that's good for society, and not some pagan authoritarian boogeyman

When I was a teen crust/hardcore punk kid in the mid 90s, I picked up a demo tape at a #Detestation show in #Portland featuring this cover of #BlackSabbath's song "Children of the Grave". Hadn't thought about it in nearly 30 years, but was reminded this weekend.

We are going to be traveling to #Portland#Oregon at the end of the month. Do you have any recommendations for any of the following?

1) A good #vegan or #vegetarian place? (Esp. South Asian and East Asian)

2) A good, cozy #coffee shop / cafe?

3 Good #tea shops?

4) A good #bakery ?

and a bonus question -

4) Any activity that might be good for a very curious nine-month old?

We really like the city and are looking forward to our trip!
