Y’all. For those who aren’t aware. Jeff Merkley, my Oregon senator, has been holding the Senate floor for 18 hours to protest the dictator (like Booker did). Dude is 69 years old. He looks super tired, but he’s still going. I never share YouTube links. I’m sorry for that. But in this case, it’s worth a click (in a private browser). This is historical. Go, Jeff! ✊🏻 1/2 #JeffMerkley #USSenate #SenateFloor #Protest #Oregon #ThisIsWhatDemocracyLooksLike

A while back I met @Hyde 📷 🖋 :debian: on Mastodon. He’s very friendly, creative human. He takes some captivating photos and writes about lots of cool stuff. Recently, he invited me to answer some questions for a series called Over/Under. It was fun. Here’s mine. I recommend reading through the whole series. It reminds me that humans are interesting creatures. And it’s nice contrast to the terrible humans running around.

TIL that Pedro Pascal was protesting yesterday. And it wasn’t performative. Homeboy is not shy about being open about where he stands ethically:

Fucking love this guy. #PedroPascal #Protest #NoKings

Here’s a great drone shot of Portland No Kings today. (That’s me in the very bottom/right corner.) Portland is no NYC, SF, Chicago, etc. But we represent. About 50,000 of us marched almost 4 miles. There was love, good vibes, and friendly people. And of course, as always, it was weird. Whose streets? Our streets. #Portland #PDX #NoKings #PNW #Protest #NoJusticeNoPeace #OurStreets

This is horrifying. It’s not surprising. Or unbelievable. It’s just horrifying to see it out in the light. Peter Giunta, Bobby Walker, Anne KayKaty, Joe Maligno, Rachel Hope, Alex Dwyer. Know their names. Know that they are nothing more than repugnant trash. Ostracize and ban them from everything. Young Nazis, not Young Republicans. Literally. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/14/private-chat-among-young-gop-club-members-00592146 #YoungRepublicans #GOP #Fascism #Racism #Homophobia #Sexism #LeakedChat #Nazi #YoungNazis #WhiteSupremacy

Everyone always shows the giant waterfalls. Here’s a little guy. Just wee bit in Arch Cape, Oregon. It’s cute and wants your adoration. Also, I think it’s a nice photo in general. #Waterfall #Nature #Photography #Oregon #PNW #PacificNorthwest

Just be the reason. That’s all. It’s so easy. #Kindness #GoodPeople

To all of the brave folks out there, fighting injustice. Those who call themselves antifascists, and those who don’t even know that they are. Those at the protests. Those in the flotillas. Those harassing ICE in the streets. All of you… I just wanted to say you’re fucking rad. Thank you for fighting the good fight and getting in good trouble. Cry, grieve, and have moments of despair. But don’t give up. Don’t lose hope. ✊🏻 #Resist #Antifascism #Resistance #Rebellion #Hope #Solidarity

So…I was looking at this photo of our dog Earl. I noticed a creepy supernatural creature peeking out from behind his head. So, naturally, I made a black metal record cover out of it. #Dogs #DogsOfMastodon #Mastodogs #BlackMetal #Music
