I am still on the lookout for remote work. I can manage e-commerce stores, write/design email campaigns, create websites, schedule appointments, handle customer support emails, update databases. Gimme your leads!
A weird thing I experienced while in the UK, my motion sickness came back. Every car ride caused this to happen. The car rides in Athens didn't. I don't understand. The roads are just as shitty in Portland, so I know it's not bouncing around in the car. What gives??

Yes, there are legitimately good uses for AI, and no, big tech is not really investing in that because it doesn’t make them money, both of these things can be true. 🥲

And, also, if you run a business that regularly purchases shipping supplies: ULINE is run by some of the worst people on Earth. Get your boxes and tape elsewhere.
Remember: don't eat the mid tier fast food chicken, don't play the wizard game, don't shop at the hobby store run by the bad guys from Indiana Jones, and don't donate to the bigot bucket.
I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season

The area our apartment is in has EVERYTHING right next door. Grocery stores, bakeries, comic book shops, pen stores, restaurants, book stores (so many book stores!), and more. I'm excited to check out the huge park that's a few block away and at some point brave going up Lycabettus Hill.

Labour have fucked it so badly, the Prime Minister of Albania is calling them out for racism.
Human beings can't function at this level of cringe. It's impossible.

I don't know what this was called, but it was filled with cream and syrup. Even though it was sweet, it wasn't sickening or too heavy. 10/10 No notes!

A cycling influencer nominated for a list of top 100 women cyclists said she has declined the honour due to the decision not to include trans women.
Claire Sharpe, a cycling coach from Bristol, said: "If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of" 👏🏻

Books with Pictures (@bkswpicspdx.bsky.social) in Portland, Oregon is a GREAT comic shop, and its owner in @omgkatiep.bsky.social is one of the best. The shop is going through a hard time right now, and if you want to help BwP out, they opened a GoFundMe to help do just that.

I like having a balcony I can hang out of whenever I want. Just straight up feeling the European vibes. What is my life right now?? Is this... happiness?

One of the things I love about Greek food is that every meal feels like it was made with love. The chicken I had tasted like an old grandmother had it simmering in the oven for 20 years. Just waiting for me to stop by. Plus, you can't beat how warmly the staff treat you. I love it here.
