I am unused to having a public profile on a microblogging platform and therefore unused to a post of mine breaking containment but if it encourages more people to care about art and wetland ecology then okay

It’s up through December if you happen to find yourself here during that time!

Crucially at the point at which he’s decided to come sit with his weird triangular head on my hip, I have already been sitting in bed drinking tea for probably twenty minutes, a totally fine time in which we could hang out

Every day just as I am hoping to get out of bed my small cat comes and rests his weird triangular head on my hip and purrs and purrs and purrs until I am late to work

Got a protein smoothie at the bourgie veg restaurant to sustain me long enough to do some kind of "exercise," prob gonna make an omelet thereafter

I don’t think I’d quite processed that when salmon cannons are used in the wild, there actually does have to be a person feeding each salmon individually into the cannon. What a job!!!

ROSE @milkshakemotel.bsky.social · 2d

Oh another important point is that the company that makes salmon cannons is called WHOOSHH Innovations

Portland art lovers and fans of unusual fish transportation MUST go see Sasha Fishman’s SHAD MODE at ILY2, there is a functional salmon cannon in the gallery with realistic weight hot pink rubber salmon you can chuck into it

It’ll be later today but if you move it around a lot that will help! Lift some furniture even

It’s such a phenomenal book and I can’t WAIT to chat about it with you. It definitely prompted me to go deep into the ephemeris to figure out the space weather of the time it took place. Dorothea gives me Jupiter in Leo vibes but alas it doesn’t seem like she can be

ROSE @milkshakemotel.bsky.social · 5d

ABSOLUTELY

Whoever can figure out how to make a foot-healthy shoe that doesn’t look sporty will simply PRINT money imo

ROSE @milkshakemotel.bsky.social · 5d

ABSOLUTELY, what a baffling display

I feel like even with the ventilation it’s WAY more smoke than you’re normally supposed to have in a business—like at a normal bar you can’t even smoke outside if you’re too close to the door

ROSE @milkshakemotel.bsky.social · 6d

My only other opinion about cigars is that cigar smoke smells a lot more like farts than cigarette smoke and I can’t understand how this is a desirable quality

ROSE @milkshakemotel.bsky.social · 6d

I do wonder what kind of workplace protection loopholes there must be in order to allow cigar bars to legally exist. In what other industry can your employer explicitly expose you to carcinogens for your entire shift without, like, requiring safety equipment about it?

My most strident shirt opinion is I like it when most of the design is fairly high on the chest in case I have to cut off some of the bottom part of the shirt

ROSE @milkshakemotel.bsky.social · 7d

There is a guy in my neighborhood who just loves flags and will hang a different one on I think either a weekly or monthly basis, usually with some kind of informational placard about whose flag it is

ROSE @milkshakemotel.bsky.social · 7d

Did you or a friend or a family member get attacked by Trump’s brown shirts this weekend? I’d like to hear about it and maybe do something about it. My email is jchavez [at] ojrc [dot] info. Please put “Seeking Legal Advice re: ICE Building” in subject line. All inquiries are confidential.

Federal officers used tear gas against Portland ICE protesters while Trump said "paid insurrectionists" were “burning” the city.

I got my first set of piercings at a “piercing pagoda“ in the mall, and then got an extra piercing in one ear at Icing because it was supposed to be better than Claire’s despite being the same company.

Trying to get back on the road! We miraculously got a new (used) van but it's stretching my life savings past the breaking point to pay for it. Any help to get a DIY tour back on the road is appreciated! gofund.me/1b4297da0
