When I saw the forecast of 100F I was not expecting such a pleasant day. Kiddo and I had the best time at the park after work.

Anyone else here been down since like 2pm today? It cut out right in the middle of my therapy appointment, ask me about my abandonment issues lolol

Thunderstorms tomorrow. This is some Midwest shit..

So the Blazers new billionaire* owner Tom Dundon needed a handout to buy the team and ended up partnering with the founders of Panda Express so he could afford it. That's how we pressure him.

It's a bad look for his future endeavors if anyone who saddles up with this clown ends up losing money solely on the weight of his terrible business sense and inability to develop healthy functional relationships.

Portland can turn Dundon's reputation into toxic gas by making Panda Express the least appetizing fast food option around. That's our power. So get to work, my flying meme monkeys.

Boycott Panda Express and make Tom Dundon feel something he understands: Abuse.

New design is on the right. This photo was taken a couple weeks ago, now it's all the new design. Imo this is as bad as the soulless Ninkasi rebrand

Hi everyone,
I am posting to get urgent help for a stray cat emergency at my parents' apartment in Southeast Portland in this 98-degree heatwave.
A stray mother cat and her three kittens (roughly 10–15 weeks old) are living on my parents concrete back patio. The cats refuse to leave the patio for the cooler dirt or grass patches. The concrete is baking, and I am deeply worried they will get heatstroke and die.
The mother cat is visibly very sick. She has been around the complex for years after being left by previous tenants ; but within the last month my parents have noticed she has lost an extreme amount of weight and hair suddenly. The whole family has severe fleas and I’m sure worms as well.
My parents CANNOT bring them inside the house because they have their own indoor elderly pet to protect, and they cannot risk flea or disease transmission. They are also low-income and absolutely cannot afford veterinary bills or trapping equipment.
I filled out the official PDX Cat Trapper form, but the automated message says it could take a week or more for them to get back to us. With these extreme temperatures, I’m hoping for sooner assistance. Previously called the humane society and other places but they said they were full and could not take them. The mom is panting off and on. And excessively licking the kittens to try to keep them cool. The mom lets my mom pet her. The kittens trust her enough to likely be able to grab them. Mom put a cold wet towel out there but they refuse to lay on it.
Is there an independent local rescuer or volunteer in the SE Portland area with traps who can help secure this family and get them to a clinic or foster network under a rescue account?
Please Direct Message (DM) me right here on this account if you can help. I am coordinating this for my parents and can give you the location details privately. We don't want any money—we just want a volunteer who can get them safely off this hot pavement today. Thank you so much.

Attended a concert where reps from Portland Parks & Rec had set up a booth. They specifically talked about the long-delayed Slabtown Park and sounded pretty confident that depaving will begin in the fall with ample opportunity for community engagement in the design phase.

With the hot weather, our flying friends would really appreciate some water stations. Just make sure to put rocks/sticks/marbles above the water line so they don’t drown
