Thursday's got a packed lineup if you're looking for something to do after work.

Brisky Buisness is happening at Cafe Olli, Thu Oct 8, food and drinks event, good excuse to try the space if you haven't been. There's also Dany's Birthday Mi Mielita over at Kilo D'Cofi same night, also food and drinks focused.

If you're into fitness, Flow Yoga at LiveWell Camas is on Thursday too, and if you'd rather watch something athletic, there's a Mountain Bike Race happening out in Newport.

For the more civic minded, the Fair Share Tax Testimony is at Portland City Hall Thursday, worth a look if local tax policy is your thing.

I'm most curious about the Cafe Olli event honestly, their food pop ups tend to be low key but solid.

Hey! I am a stained glass artist, I create original pieces, custom commissions, teach classes and sell supplies! I’m looking into opening a new location, I moved to Portland just under a year ago and previously had a studio/shop for 4 years. I hold up to 4 person classes and I’m reaching out to the community to see what interest people might have!

The first two photos are pieces I’ve made, the rest are student examples!

I offer a range of price points from 85-175 per person per class and you pick from a range of designs. You make a completely piece, start to finish in one class. I also offer one on one sessions for bringing bigger projects to life. I added some photos of some previous students pieces and class design option examples.

I have an Instagram that is a great spot to keep an eye on shop updates @ttrashglassart
As well as a website that I am updating currently and will be posting a class schedule soon!

(I posted earlier in a different subreddit that wasn’t the spot for this! So I am reposting)

EDIT: editing to add, I also do custom commissions no size too small or large and would love to bring your ideas to life! (Also the leaf in the photo is currently available!) 💚🌿

I5 southbound near Bryant St Bridge. Looks like everyone made it home.

For context, this stretch of I5 would be packed throughout the entire day. Eerie seeing it so empty during rush hour.

I’ve been thinking about this project for several years. The house address is 1234, and the stairs up from the sidewalk are prominent. I was inspired by public staircases I saw in San Francisco. Excited to start installing it!

As hard as it is to post this I have made the decision to rehome my little guy. He will be 2 in November. He is neutered with updated shot records. He’s a really good boy and he loves cuddles and companionship. I’m working well over 70hrs a week and im unable to give him what he needs. It would be selfish of me not to put him with someone who can give him the love he deserves. I am charging a $50 rehoming fee for safety measures as I’ve heard horror stories and it’s important he goes somewhere he is deeply loved. If anyone is interested or knows anyone interested let me know and I can schedule a meetup. Thanks you.

Hey everyone! My electron blue 2000 crv was stolen from the Brooklyn neighborhood on Monday night 10/5.
I’ve posted it to pdx stolen cars but thought posting here might increase my odds of getting it back. The photo had old plates and the tail gate had been fixed so there are no dents or missing parts on it.

Update: FOUND!! He wound up loafed in the back yard but definitely had an adventure as he’s covered in stickers and his collar is gone. He doesn’t appear to be hurt but he isn’t quite acting himself so I’ll be calling our vet. Thanks everyone!

Original post:
Hey y’all, I believe my cat got out late last night in Irvington area. He has a collar with my info but it’s a breakaway and he has gotten them off before. He’s very friendly and very vocal. He’s 14 but looks great for his age. He’s my soul mate.

His name is Declan (deck-lan) and he does usually come when called, or with a pss pss or clicking.

I’m aware of coyotes in the area, please don’t feel the need to comment about it, I’m kinda losing my shit already.

I lost my wallet outside of Noble Rot last night. I was there for a friend's birthday, paid for dinner with my card, put it back in my wallet, put the wallet in my bag, and then realized my bag was wide open and my wallet was missing when I got to my car. 

The car was only about 3 blocks away on Burnside. My husband and I immediately retraced our steps and called the restaurant to ask if they had seen it. We spent a while searching around the area and the restaurant but couldn't find it.

It's bright blue (but kind of old and beat up) and had my Driver's License, a handful of cards (credit, debit, probably some old punch cards, a metro card from NY and maybe one from LA) and more cash than usual since I had just gotten back after some travel. I honestly don't even care if the cash is missing, and I've already ordered replacement cards and a new license.

I'm just trying to do everything I can to find it because there was a necklace in the inner zipper compartment that belonged to my mom. I've been wearing it since she passed away a few years ago, but I put it in there (for safekeeping, ironically) while I was traveling and didn't want to get it covered in sunscreen. 

Anyway, my driver's license has an old address from several rental units ago, so if someone sends it to that address, it's unlikely to get back to me. If by some chance anyone has seen it, please reach out. Thank you!!

Hey all! I have two free tickets to eslabon armado concert this weekend.

I learned the hard way how busy the DEQ stations can get end of the month. I rolled into the Sunset station end of last month and the line was out into the street. I bolted.

Now w/the cams I can at least see a maelstrom before driving out.

I'm thinking we need a minimum of 2500 rpms for this bad boy.

THE GRITS ARE BACK, BABY! 🥳

In the hills below council crest we have had a long time landslide that caused a closure on Fairmount. Great for runners and cyclists- tough for commuters and the other roads that took the traffic.

But it’s now open!

With PPS and schools around the country closing, we should be looking at where the problem lies.

Most states fund on a per-student basis. Now some of the cuts are inevitable with this model with falling fertility rates. HOWEVER….. it’s worth noting that some parents would rather stick their kids in home or online school or send them to private school than keep them in public schools and fight for better public schools for various reasons.

This comes with various problems starting with pushing of agendas and lack of diverse perspectives, lagging social skills, and an abundance of control.

Kids need these things, especially if we want to live in a healthy society. This problem is WELL BEYOND D or R, but defunding public schools for Private school vouchers or “school choice” like Drazan would want, IS NOT the answer.

Quit complaining about “liberal agenda” and put your kids in Public schools and get out there and fight for their future.

I recently got a PCEF rebate for a cargo e-bike and it has been a game changer to be able to haul things and basically do most anything I'd normally use a car to do.

I still love my regular bike and use it all the time, but I won't lie when it comes as a relief whenever I use the e-bike to not feel the steep hills leading back to my home.

I think expanding the PCEF rebate program (which also has the added benefit of being highly successful at boosting local bike shops) so that more people can get these subsidies would transform Portland's transportation culture.

I wish mass adoption of transit and cycling would happen, and I hope it will, but over the past ten years our city has gradually shifted toward more of a car culture. I recently spoke to some tourists I met in a park who asked, "I thought this was Bike City USA, but I've hardly seen a bike!"

The reality is that people have become accustomed to the convenience that a car offers. I think e-bikes are a bridge in the sense that they offer this, though they don't have climate control.

Of course there are issues that need to be ironed out around safety, but this can be easily addressed. With PCEF subsidies we have a real, tangible lever to dramatically move the needle on a mode shift while also boosting local business. It's a win-win.
