Stay Weird Portland! 🔥 Today Portland had an emergency naked bike ride to the ICE facility. IN THE RAIN.

It was around 50°. Thousands were fully nude, half nude, or wearing costumes.

Portland is VERY dedicated to exposing the absurdities of injustice.

Here are some photos & videos. 🧵👇🏼

If you have a home, take in boarders. I have a friend who did this for 10 years to pay her mortgage nd met many lovely people. The bad ones were told to move on.

Yeah but, the thing is Ash, that song was written by a Pom. About a protest against a nuclear site.

Not sure if we are talking about the same substance but oestrogen levels in some varieties of clover are high enough to affect fertility in ewes.

What is the difference between a lentil and a chickpea?

No-one has ever paid $50 to have a lentil on their face.

/2 Sure Albo has been weak on Gaza, just as Europe has been weak on Ukraine. It is not really our backyard.

peter.glen @peterglen.bsky.social · 19d

Fucking bullshit. Albo sends nothing. "Do your own research" as the internet tells us. If the Aus suppliers of parts for the F-35 were to pull out it would impact Denmark, Italy, Holland, Norway and the UK. Therefore any assistance to Ukraine against Russia's aggression. /2

I know SFA but always used Ubuntu till circumstances drove me back to the pile of pox that is Windows

peter.glen @peterglen.bsky.social · 19d

Ha ha, I don't text. Hangover from those old Nokias etc when you had to press 1 three times to get a C. If people text me a query I will answer with a Y or N. Otherwise I just phone back.

Let the Umps have their biases. I personally prefer Rowells ultra physical crash through style to Daicos' highly skilful dance around every tackler. Both are very very good.

Yeah, in my limited interactions I found Linux fairly easy but dealing with iOS when fixing friends hardware was way more taxing. Not a fan of Windows but I have always been here cos jobs etc.

Today is European Folk Day and yesterday was the autumnal equinox 🍁🍂
A song known across the world, Wild Mountain Thyme, a variant of the Braes o Balquhither, was adapted by Belfast musician Francis McPeake and recorded by his family in the 1950s.

Dimethoate is particularly nasty shit. I wouldn't use it anywhere. It must be cheap if they still use it.
We have many modern pesticides that are far safer for mammals. Unfortunately most are still bad for marine life.
Responsible application and their faster decomposition can mitigate for that.

Here in the West lots of tiny festivals are springing up in the absense of the big ones that failed.

Yeah great idea. The difference is that some of these festivals are many hundreds of years old. Our history has been obliterated and the tiny bits of culture that have survived are denigrated by the Newscorpse puppets.
Best wishes for your festival and I look forward to hearing about it.

Well from my limited understanding, I think this treaty would require PNG to join any war where Aus was attacked. This would mean certain war for PNG if America attacked China.
USA v China, Pine Gap goes, we are attacked. I don't think it is so much a playing off as desire to not be locked in.
