In a very weird & fast 180 flip of my sleep pattern (I was going to bed at this time like a week ago). But last night I was so tired at 8:30pm that I crashed & was just woken up by a very small, but very loud gremlin in my apartment.

I think I’m just gonna leave my mustache and go as Bob Belcher driving a cab tonight. I think I can pull this off 🤷🏽‍♂️

They really are. Even when they’re waking me up after 4 hours of sleep to inform it is time for Play, Penny is here.

There are several things that bother me about the amount of people commenting on Portland who aren’t from Portland, but one (seemingly-innocuous) thing stands out:

The current PDX carpet is not the “infamous” carpet.

This is:
Image of Portland airport’s iconic carpet that has a teal background with “X” shaped symbols checkered throughout in mostly dark blue, but with red, pink, and light blue accents. Immaculately designed in 1987 - the holiest of years - it was installed in the early 90’s and sacrilegiously removed in 2015.

She really is 🥰
Image of Penelope, a tuxedo kitty, sitting in Loaf Mode on a folded weighted blanket with a pillow themed after Captain America’s iconic shield sitting behind her. Penelope is looking directly at the camera. Image of Penelope peering at the camera through window blinds with about half her face visible. Her tail droops majestically from the window sill. Image of Penelope resting stretched out in sunshine on a kitchen table with one paw reaching toward her mother’s bacon and potatoes. She is looking at the camera as though she has done nothing wrong (she hasn’t). A sleepy Penelope lays against the back of a couch with her eyes mostly closed. Her hind paws are tucked in a little while her fore paws are stretched out in front of her.

Screenshot of an article that reads, “"DHS law enforcement uses 'reasonable suspicion' to make arrests," Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. "What makes someone a target for immigration enforcement is if they are illegally in the U.S. - NOT their skin color, race, or ethnicity." McLaughlin did not address why Venegas was detained twice even though he's a U.S. citizen. The new lawsuit describes repeated raids on workplaces despite agents having no warrants nor suspicion that specific workers were in the U.S. illegally, and a string of U.S. citizens — many with Latino-sounding names - who were detained.”

Bluesky will ban Palestinians just trying to survive, but allows these fuckers to run rampant all over this platform.

Nearly every time I post my GFM, someone replies like this (this happened a lot on Twitter, too).

Get your shit together, @moderation.bsky.app
Screenshot of a Bluesky post from "Master Simdorn" (@chevronvolunteer.bsky.social) that reads, "Hi! I hope you're doing well. I noticed that your campaign is struggling to get donations, but don't worry, we've got a solution for you! If you're interested, we can promote your campaign on our website that's specifically designed to reach active donors." A date & time stamp reads, "August 29, 2025 at 12:42 AM." This is a reply to my GoFundMe post.

I reported @antupelenlefuncala.bsky.social for spamming my replies with false information.

This is harmful to Palestinians who are just trying to survive.

Also... I've been sharing these fundraisers for as long as they've been asking for help.
Screenshot of several notifications from the same account (@antupelenlefuncala.bsky.social) spamming Palestinian GoFundMe campaigns with the same message that reads "Many 'Gaza' fundraisers are suspicious. Demand verifiable proof of location & genuine connections before donating. Scammers exploit grief - due diligence is crucial. #GazaFundraisers #ScamAlert." This false information.

TL cleanser:

If I sneeze once, my cat doesn't care.

If I sneeze twice, she comes running over meowing & rubs up against me (thinking I'm dying or something, maybe?).

Anyway, we've had this dork for two years and I love her with every fiber of my being ☺️.

Ahmed DM'd me this and now his account is marked as spam.

Boost & donate 🙏🏽❤️

Hey @moderation.bsky.app, *these* are the spam accounts you should be banning, you fucking weasels.

Um… bsky just nuked a pro 🍉 account as I was replying to a post. Wtf?

Like, there is no trace of Noura’s account that I can find.
Screenshot of my attempted to reply to an account that suddenly no longer exists?? Text reads: “Could not find repo: did:plc:is3jbjcva34vrh5odjrfv7mg Noura watermelon mafia thank you very much Are all of the Palestinian accounts gone on here? I don't see them? [My reply] Many I was in contact with haven't been on here in days.”

Worth sharing again…
Image of Kwame Ture with his quote that reads, “Dr. King's policy was, if you are nonviolent, if you suffer, your opponent will see your suffering and will be moved to change his heart. That's very good. He only made one fallacious assumption. In order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. The United States has none.”

With the AI-generated pfp & the vague & unverified claims of being “there” in key moments of the Civil Rights era, I cannot believe this is anything more than a rage-bait account.

Even their replies seem AI-generated.
Screenshot of a post from @doccal.bsky.social (“The Porch Pundit!”) that reads, “Protestors, please take notes from the 60s Civil Rights protestors. Non-violence is the key. Do not let them provoke you. We will win if they do not play their game. June 9, 2025 at 1:46 PM”

There hasn’t been a year where this wasn’t relevant.

And before you reply with an out of context MLK quote, remember that they still k*lled him in a suit.
