bought a bouquet from a fella at the St. Johnโ€™s farmers market with the St. Johnโ€™s bridge tattooed on his arm, and so begins what I intend to be a longer term thread of local St. Johnโ€™s bridge iconography #pdx

this is my photo of a photo that is posted as a large sign in someoneโ€™s front yard, apparently referencing a former exhibit, it begins โ€œI AM FROM ST JOHNS. I AM FROM THE WRONG SIDE OF THE CUT. THE PLACE WHERE TWO POWERFUL RIVERS
MEET BENEATH THE MAJESTIC BRIDGE THAT FRAMES ST JOHNS. THE SAME BRIDGE MY MOTHER THREATENS
TO JUMP FROM WHEN I MISBEHAVE. THE SAME POLLUTED RIVERS THAT TEMPT ME ON HOT SUMMER DAYSโ€ฆโ€ #pdx

St. Johnโ€™s bridge merch from Alshiref Designs, an artist who prints lots of Pdx bridges but like especially the St. Johnโ€™s bridge

Alshiref Eskander is also the designer of the St Johnโ€™s neighborhood flag. you can see from their profile pic that they, like many, also personally identify with the bridge. several of my neighbors fly this flag and I am gearing up for the purchase cuz why not amitypdx.com/products/st-johnsโ€ฆ

rode my bike 18 mi round trip to Alshirefโ€™s downtown #pdx shop to get the tee. he was there! and showed me how he prints his designs himself behind the counter. we fangirled hard together about the St. Johnโ€™s bridge (honestly cathartic to check in with a kindred spirit on this topic). he said when people complain his print is upside down he looks down at it and exclaims NOT FOR ME! ๐Ÿ˜‚ he said heโ€™s Egyptian and so he flipped it to pick up on traditional Egyptian collar type shirt designs

Alshiref also tried to upsell me on this limited edition (last one!) ply pannier setโ€”st Johnโ€™s bridge art collab he did with his friend. I was VERY tempted but didnโ€™t have a rear rack on my bike at the time so couldnโ€™t get them back to my house. They buckle together but then the handles fold up so you can easily carry them together, very functional design. I MIGHT go back and get them. I MIGHT #pdx

Alshiref was out when I first got to his downtown shop so I wandered into Kiriko shop next door which has tons of cool Japanese stuff, a line of re-tooled durable luxury clothing items using older Japanese fabrics, and apparently one custom handkerchief design for tourists honoring their Portland location which (of course) features the St Johnโ€™s bridge, showing how the bridge often signifies not just love for St. Johnโ€™s but also for the whole city

I met Mel the artist behind Hello Magnolia printshop (โ€œanti capitalist, paper centricโ€) at the annual St. Johnโ€™s art walk a few weeks ago. like me, they enjoy just walking around looking at the bridge and generally feeling creative. I bought their original Polaroid emulsion lift โ€œbridge dyptichโ€ after our chat, which I think captures those vibes pretty well

this St. Johnโ€™s bridge mural has cut outs and backlighting so at night the multicolored buildings painted on either side of the bridge have their lights on. I like how the artist included everything but the willamette river

a photo I took under one of the newly replaced St. Johnโ€™s bridge Gothic arch supports. from this spot, you feel/hear different passing motor vehicles vibrate the bridge like a stringed instrument. semis are big bass, the order of cars syncopates and strums

When will the #EU finally kick #Hungary out? Nobody wants someone in their house who has no manners and pees on the sofa in the middle of the living room.

If #Orban would rather belong to the other side, his people should worry about their prosperity.

I did tomatoes for my first year and I got at least one from seed to red tomato so it worked.

Everything's gone to shit now, but oh well very next year!



Hey @ladygaga I donโ€™t know if u r really on #mastodon but u r on my top 3 with Nina Simone and Josephine Backer.

Iโ€™am an old gay guy from France (50 years old) and Iโ€™m veryโ€ฆ exigent guy.

Anyway l really loved you. U r one of the person who can really have a real impact on the world.

Love โค๏ธ ๐Ÿซถ โ™ฅ๏ธ



Wann schmeiรŸt die #EU endlich #Ungarn raus? Niemand will jemanden im Haus haben, der kein Benehmen hat und mitten im Wohnzimmer aufs Sofa pinkelt.

Wenn #Orban lieber zum anderen Ufer gehรถren will, sollte sich sein Volk um ihren Wohlstand sorgen.

Taylor Townsend (a Black woman) is a tennis champion. One of the best, I guess.

Her opponent, Jelena Ostapenko, berates her on the court after being bested. She tells Taylor that she has โ€œno classโ€ and โ€œno education.โ€

Nothing like a little public racism not being called what it is.

Jelena said she โ€œrespects all nations of people in the world, for me it doesn't matter where you come from.โ€ Boilerplate โ€œIโ€™m not a racistโ€ statement.

The plight of seasonal workers remains a problem across the agricultural sector, from the exploitation of their visa situation, to substandard housing & bullying/abuse; and the Seasonal Worker Scheme has been extended for another five years with little regard for complaints from visa holders about the position the scheme puts them in.

As I've said before, how a Govt. treats the vulnerable indicates how they'd really like to treat the rest of us...
