“This law risks conflating terrorism, and all its political baggage, with long historical tactics of climate and environmental activists, as well as some instances of street protests.” — Sarah Alvarez, an attorney with the Civil Liberties Defense Center

Hello PNWG (and followers!) - Burning PDX question. I moved here recently and in many of the shops/restaurants the staff say “Welcome In!” when you enter.

To me this is weird phrasing (not just “welcome” or “hello” for example) and I’ve NEVER heard this phrase so frequently before in my life. Is this PDX specific? Is it new to the region in the last ten-ish years? Am I just hearing it all the time now that I’m paying attention? Also I should say I’m not mad about it. It’s delightful.

Hey, welcome in to the PNW! 😁

I hope our winter is treating you well.

Disclaimer: I have nothing other than anecdotal evidence to back this up.

I have mostly heard people reporting on the novelty of “welcome in” when they move to either the Midwest or the PNW. I have also seen people associate it with Starbucks which is, ofc, a Seattle chain whose employee handbook might have reflected those roots.

So here’s my theory…

The Midwest and PNW are two regions with a lot of Scandinavian settlement:

And how does one say “welcome” in Scandinavian languages?

Swedish: Välkommen

Norwegian: Velkommen

Danish: Velkommen

Icelandic: Velkomin

Faroese: Vælkomin

So my tin-hat theory is that formal/polite speech in these regions maybe has a Scandinavian influence. (German settlement is a possible wildcard factor.)

Formal/polite language tends to not change much over time. If Scandinavian words snuck into common usage because they looked like English, I imagine they could get fossilised as normal “polite” speech because 1.) no one expects formal speech to sound normal and, thus, 2.) no one tends to ask why or where formal language comes from.

Like, we all know “ma’am” having an apostrophe there means that something was shortened… but how many people on the street would immediately say, without hesitation, what the full form of that word is?

But that’s my crackpot theory. I’m excited to hear everyone else’s!

Have you ever shaved your partners bikini area? My Dom has asked to shave me and I'm like "...wut". I guess I don't see the attraction to it and I thought I'd anon ask a random Dom on the Internet!

😅 Perplexed in PDX

Well, we sure don’t want you to be perplexed 😋

Imagine these two groups were paint colors to be mixed to achieve a specific color blend to paint with. Each artist will choose differently.

Romance, Intimacy, Trust - Vanilla - To earn your trust & to warm you up to them being down there, &/or to take care of you—like tying your shoes—only more intimate, since it happens to focus a very special little private place.

Power, control, & ownership - Kink - The darker & kinkier motivation is an assertion of power & control down to a detailed level; not only control over you, but control over your holes. Ranging from them simply doing it for you with your input, to them deciding for you & perfectly sculpting you entirely at their pleasure.

Fuckk I just saw this insta post of a PDX missed connection and immediately thought god…. I wish that were me. But all the comments were like “what a terrible day to read”/“I cannot imagine why anyone would do that at all”/“This makes me sick” ….. like 😭😭 I’m sorry I’m a freak

If I’m lucky I’ll meet friends for coffee on a Saturday morning. Yesterday @oldtowncoffeepdx I was able to spend and hour with @saljaramillo1993 and @ted.mishima and Nicole, the owner. As the sun came out mid-day I was grateful to meet a few people as I wandered through Old Town, and especially enjoyed meeting Earl who teaches art to middle schoolers. It is such a gift to hear someone share stories about their life and experiences, and must be the most subversive threat to the people who want to encourage strife in America. “For millions of years, mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination. We learned to talk and we learned to listen. Speech has allowed the communication of ideas, enabling human beings to work together to build the impossible. Mankind's greatest achievements have come about by talking, and its greatest failures by not talking. It doesn't have to be like this. Our greatest hopes could become reality in the future. With the technology at our disposal, the possibilities are unbounded. All we need to do is make sure we keep talking.” Stephen Hawking Earl, Portland, February 11, 2023 🇺🇦💔🌎💔🌏💔🌍💔🇺🇦 #earth #america #human #family #people #documentary #street #portrait #artist #teacher #photography #mediumformat #4x5 #camera #bnw @ilfordphoto #film #blancoynegro #blancetnoir #Hēiyǔbái #siyahbeyaz #白黒 #shirokuro #blackandwhite #istillshootfilm #photojournalism #pdx #portland #nw #northwest #oregon 230215 HP5 1947 Graflex Super D Kodak 190mm 5.6 Ektar https://www.instagram.com/p/CokcLxkpPx6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

PDX Sludge Beast VIRAL TYRANT Cuts Loose New Music Video

~Doomed & Stoned Debuts~

By Billy Goate

There's a new voice of doom echoing from dank halls all around the Rose City. Met VIRAL TYRANT, dubbed "a new breed of sonic, sludge-laden force from the mixed temperate rainforest and concrete jungle of Portland, Oregon."

Tapping into the Dungeons & Dragons and horror films, extreme metal and video games for inspiration, the band rails against "dehumanization and group think" with a potent blend of doom, sludge, thrash, grunge, prog, and even black metal. Let's be clear: this isn't an album covering different genres, but one unique strain of metal "woven cohesively together to forge a sound of complex, yet grounded blackened, psychedelic sludge."

Today, Doomed & Stoned brings you the third single from the band's upcoming album, 'Vultures Like You' (2023). "A Savage, Ensnared" introduces us to a place where there's no justice, no peace, no mercy, and is so beautifully accompanied by a music video from Dark Sprite Video

Viral Tyrant bassist Casey Martin reflects on the meaning of the song:

When I approached the idea of lyrics, I started with the way the song sounded. It reminded me of this lone warrior/gunslinger sorta character trope and ran with it. It was approaching the elections at the time and the BLM protests were winding down here in Portland. I wanted to take the opportunity to write a protest song.

I always thought that we need more messages of revolution and catharsis interwoven into our popular culture that reveal the truths of the world and not just a bunch of songs so focused on ego and shallow ethos. I wanted to instill a mood of pessimism and angst. Of frustration and anger. Of cathartic vengeance for freedom and human rights.

I imagined a disembodied narrator like in the Conan The Barbarian film telling a tale that keeps repeating time and time again. The Everyman character of the song is inspired by the struggles of the disenfranchised and the working class from whom imperialism keeps the truth buried.

Viral Tyrant's brand of heaviness pierces deep into the modern psyche, with razor sharp riffs, gruff vocals, and tales not soon forgotten. Vultures Like You comes out July 21st on multiple formats via Ripple Music (pre-order here). Stick it on a playlist with High on Fire, Phantom Hound, Serial Hawk, and Cough.

Give ear...

I know it doesn't really have a plot other than "have fun with miku + her friends :)" (excluding pdx which has an actual story) but the canon implications of Project Diva sure are something.

My experience as an exchange student in Spain from USA

I’ve been an exchange student in Madrid, Spain for almost 5 months now. My life has changed in so many ways I could have never imagined. My mind is filled with countless memories that I will never forget. Learning to live in a new country, with a new family, friends, language, and surroundings is something not many people get to experience, so i’m very grateful to get this opportunity. 

THE BEGINNING

Leaving everything and everyone back in the USA to come to a foreign country by myself was, to say the least, scary. But also extremely exhilarating. The feeling of not knowing what lied ahead was something i’d never experienced before. 

My last days leading up to my departure were filled with so many emotions. I was saying goodbye to all my close family and friends, knowing I wouldn't see them for 10 months, knowing I would miss out on everything at home. But I also knew something great was ahead of me. A new chapter in my life. 

On September 15th, 2022, my mom and I got up early to go to the airport. So many thoughts were running through my head. 

I flew out of PDX (Portland, OR, USA) and even though I had flown out of there many times before, this time I knew I wouldn’t return for almost a year. After a long goodbye hug to my mom, I boarded the plane. There was no turning back. 

Everything went smoothly. I had a layover in Texas which went well, I talked to a few strangers about what I was doing and where I was going. They all thought I was very brave for doing it, which gave me comfort. 

Then it was time to board my last flight. To the airport of Madrid, Spain. My home for the next 10 months. My mind was racing with questions and wonders of what my life was going to be like there. 

After a total of about 17 hours, I was landed in a new country. I got in touch with my host family to see where they were. They said they were waiting for me just outside of baggage claim. I made my way through customs and all of that went pretty swiftly. I just had to grab my luggage. 

After I had my stuff, I made my way out to my host family. My host mom, Lucía, and my host dad, Antonio, were waiting to greet me with a welcome sign. They were amazing from the start and so kind. They were impressed with my Spanish which was a nice compliment. I felt so welcome and felt like I belonged. 

It was only about an hour ride to the small town I call home, Moralzarzal. Along the way, they pointed things out and showed me the natural beauty of Spain. 

As soon as we made it home, my host mom helped me get my things to my new bedroom. She made sure I felt comfortable and that everything was in place. She had an idea of what it was like for me because one of her three sons was in the USA at the time doing the same thing as me. 

Throughout the first few days, I was introduced to many new people. Including my two host brothers, Gonzalo and Rodrigo, as well as some of their friends. They showed me around town and we started getting all of my stuff prepared for school. 

I was a little sick for the first week so that made things a little difficult, but overall the start of my time in Spain was absolutely amazing. I knew I made the right choice to go. 

HIGH SCHOOL IN SPAIN

Coming from my high school in the USA, I didn’t know what to expect. I had little to no knowledge of what the education system was like here. 

My first day, I was introduced to my class and my classmates that I would spend the rest of the school year with. Everyone was super kind and willing to help with anything and everything I needed. 

The first few weeks were good, I was just trying to figure everything out and adjust to all the new things. Most of all, I was adjusting to the language. Even though I spoke Spanish from the start, I definitely had to get used to speaking it all the time. 

The education level is much higher in Spain than it is in the USA. Therefore it has been hard for me to study and do my work at the level of my classmates, but i’m trying my hardest and enjoying myself. I also know that any hard times I have, my friends and family here can help. 

I go to the same school as two out of my three host brothers. Even though we don’t have classes together, we always greet each other when we cross paths in the halls. 

From being here the past 5 months, I can say that there are many differences between high school in the USA vs here in Spain. Classes are shorter here, there are more tests, the students are more open, the subjects are different, etc. It’s hard to say which I prefer. Just the same, I love it here.

I am able to participate in all of the school activities and excursions which makes me enjoy my time even further.

HOST FAMILY

My host family consists of my host mom, host dad, and three host brothers. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better host family. They are all immensely friendly and have been nothing but welcoming. 

Over the months, my host brothers and I have connected more. I come from a home of three sisters, so having the opposite has been quite a change. Nonetheless, I enjoy my time with them. My second day here, one of them asked if I wanted to go out with him and his friends, that made me feel very welcomed. I went and we had a really fun time. All of us are around the same age so we can relate to things more. We find ourselves making jokes and laughing together. I have grown to really care for them and we will definitely stay in touch. 

My host mom has been the most amazing of all. She always makes sure I’m cared for and that I have everything I need, i’m treated like one of her own kids. She is a stay at home mom, so I spend a lot of time with her. Whenever she is going to do something outside the house, i’m almost always invited. I enjoy the time with her and she is now like a second mom to me. 

My host dad has also been great. He works a lot throughout the week so I see him less than everyone else, but still we are still able to connect and get to know each other. He treats me like his own daughter and has a very caring personality. He helps me practice my Spanish by having me tell him things about my day (or my life back home). 

Everyday we all sit down and have lunch together, this allows us all to talk about how we are and connect even further. I am learning so much about Spain from them and they are learning many things about the USA from me. 

Not only do I have them as a part of my new family here, but I have been introduced to many other people in their family. Once again, everyone is tremendously kind. They all treat my like I have been a part of their family forever. 

I have traveled a little bit throughout Spain with my family, and it's been eye opening to see how much natural beauty Spain has. As well as all of the marvelous structures. 

It will be hard to leave them all when I go back, but I know that we will stay in touch and that I will come back to visit them when I can. 

FRIENDS

Making friends here has been a lot easier than I thought it would be. From my first day at school, people were wanting to befriend me and let me into their friend group. My first week, there was a town fair and I went with my new friends and had so much fun. 

I have a few different friend groups and I love them all. Having people I can connect with makes being away from home a million times easier. They help me improve my Spanish and teach me many things about life in Spain. 

Since I live in a smaller town, I’m able to go out with my friends a lot. We go out on walks, go to basketball games, go out for dinner, go to the movies, go shopping, and so much more. I’m able to enjoy my time here to the fullest when I’m around them. I’m able to live the full experience as a teenage girl in Spain. I am nothing but grateful for them and this opportunity to be here. 

HOLIDAYS

This has been my first holiday season away from my family. I missed them but I was also very happy to experience holidays here.

I spent Haloween with my friends here, we dressed up and walked around town for a while. It was very fun to spend a holiday in my new home with people I have really grown to care for. It is celebrated a lot less here, but I was happy with any version of it. 

I spent the majority of Christmas break with my host family and their extended family. Christmas Eve is very big here, they get a lot of family together and have a big dinner (its similar to how we celebrate Thanksgiving in the USA). We had octopus as a main dish, I personally don’t like fish, but I tried some anyways. I didn't like it but it was interesting to see that it was a tradition here. 

On Christmas morning, we all gather around the tree to see what presents there are. After opening them we spent the day together and enjoyed each others company. 

For New Years, at midnight, here the tradition is to eat 12 grapes as the clock tolls for good luck. I had never heard of that or experienced it so it was fun to learn about it and do it. 

On the 6th of January, they have Día de los Reyes Magos which is basically a second Christmas. It is also spent with family, and the day starts off with opening presents. Once again, I had never heard of that so it was great to learn about their traditions.  

ME

Even though I have traveled by myself before, this is by far the longest and farthest I’ve gone from my family. I won’t lie, it hasen’t all been easy. Coming here has probably been one of the hardest things I have ever done. But I don't regret anything at all and I have grown tremendously as a person. I know I made the right choice to come here. 

The beginning of my time here was the hardest, I experienced extreme home sickness. But all the people in my life, both here and in the US assured me it would get better and easier. They were right. I am now fully happy that I am here and wouldn’t change a thing. 

As a person, I've grown to be more independent and confident. I have so many experiences from being here that I never would have obtained from anywhere else. Going on an exchange year is something I would recommend to everyone.

This is not the first stripper strike in PDX in the last few years. I hope this ends with a union - the owners of this club have made a lot of hay out of their "diverse dancers" while also apparently treating labor like shit.

Imagine having to put Bitter Yuck on your body at work so customers wouldn't fucking lick you because your boss won't provide adequate security.

Gross.

Trouble is brewing in America's strip club capital, where dancers from one bar have been on strike for nearly four months as they attempt to become the second unionized strip club in the country. Most of the 33 strippers employed by Portland's Magic Tavern launched their strike on April 4, citing "dangerous working conditions," Willamette Week reported. "We’re fighting for basic safety and respect in the workplace, just like any other industry expects," Nyx, one of the dancers on strike, told the outlet. The dancers say a slew of safety concerns spurred the strike, ranging from a lack of security cameras, an unstable pole, unmarked and uneven stage flooring, the scent of gas and more. They accuse management of retaliating against dancers who complained, and naming an official club group chat "Anus Tarts."

Artichoke Capers

Artichoke capers...well yes - both meanings ring true in this flavorful pasta dish. Artichokes added to capers and kalamata olives add a tart flavor to the whole wheat pasta tossed with Parmesan cheese.  Or as I whimsically imagine anthropomorphic artichokes and olives capering about diving in and out of slippery strings of spaghetti noodles.  Either way this makes a great side dish served with fried pork chops and cantaloupe chunks on the side.  It also works well as a cold salad the next day providing you have any left over.  See what you think...

4 c. water

8 oz. whole wheat spaghetti pasta, dry, broken

1/4 c. oil

1/2 c. kalamata olives

3/4 c. sliced almonds

1 - 14.5 oz. jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained - reserve liquid

1 - 4 oz. jar capers, drained

1 t. salt + to taste

1 t. pepper + to taste

Optional:  1 c. Parmesan cheese, grated

In a large pot, bring water to a boil.  Add pasta, boil until just tender.drain off excess water.  Toss in oil coating thoroughly.  Add olives, almonds, artichokes, and kapers.  Toss again to mix all elements including salt and pepper.  If you're going with the cheese option this is the time to do it - add cheese, toss again until cheese is softened.  Add in some of the reserved artichoke liquid if you like your pasta a little creamier.

Once I’ve done a quick clean up from a fast and easy meal for the family, I scamper down the stairs to my basement sewing studio to stitch deep pocket chef aprons form my online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdrawerthreads .

Or, I’m putting the finishing touches on hand knit hats and scarves for my online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdraweryarns - worked by me from upcycled recycled yarns sourced from my favorite creative reuse shop - SCRAP PDX.

My daughter’s have an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/yesdesigns - where they design and sew cotton pocket knickers for your leisure and party moments.

My older daughter has an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/wildwovenwomen - where she works upcycled recycled yarns into eye catching funky boho striped scarves.

[3:56 pm] “i am soooo tired...”, you huffed as you and sihun walked back to your apartment. “oh come on! we only walked 4 blocks lazy pants”, sihun replied. you laid on your couch and motioned for sihun to come and cuddle with you. “you know we have dinner reservations right? we can’t just take a nap.”

“just cuddle me~~ who said anything about taking a nap?”

he just smiled to himself and cuddled closer to you, “only for you.”

non-idol boyfriend!au : Dongyoon

- very ordinary student philologist with brightest smile;

- had a crush on you in the library when you was there with your team and painted a poster for a biology project;

- tried to come often just to see you and even missed a few lessons because of you;

- at some moment he couldn’t take his eyes off you, and you meet your eyes. you winked sweetly, and his heart beat at times stronger;

- after this time library becomes to your little place, and time after time you made his heart beat more often with some innocent signs of attention. but he was still too shy to talk with you;

- and you took the situation into your own hands, realizing that as soon as you finish the project, it will be harder for you to find each other

- in that moment when you asked him to meet somewhere outside the library his eyes sparkled. in this moment you realized that you had a crush on him

- now he’s doing all that he can to see you more often

- like, you are doing your homework together

- or dinners in university’s dining room – you are always texting each other if someone is late

- Dongyoon is not so jealous guy, but he always feel uncomfortable when you talk about some boys from your team;

- and you know about that, lightly banging his nose and tell smth like ‘hey, you’re really think that I look at least one of them knowing that magnificent guy is waiting for me with my favorite donuts?’;

- after that Dongyoon literally melts;

- because of education you don’t see each other so often, but if it does happen, it’s remembered for long time;

- like the moment when Dongyoon sneezed so loud that somebody thought that it was film’s part, and both of you couldn't concentrate on the movie and run away;

- or cafe date where you you organized a marathon of eating ice cream, because of what you lost your voice, but you were immensely happy;

- or that momentous day when you wandered around the shops with various accessories, when he suddenly disappeared. you waited him for 20 minutes, but forgot about all when you saw a small bouquet and cute necklace with metal fox, and after that he officially asked you to be his girlfriend;

- and that moment when in response you almost burst into tears of laughter, pulling from the bag a similar necklace bought a week ago.

As AI images and deepfakes become popular, I wonder how we will know what is real and was is constructed from someone’s imagination. I have always loved the process of making a photograph with a good camera and film, but more valuable than the physical object that is created at the end of the process, is the experience of working in collaboration with another person. The photograph that is made is not just the photographer’s work, but the evidence of a sharing of life and ideas in the moment the shutter is released. I don’t know how we will be able to tell AI from actual, but for me, it’s more gratifying to create something with another human, and not just being able to manipulate code into pretty shapes.

[21:37] Koo Jungmo

Jungmo never wanted to get you involved to racing, and yet here you are, in his leather jacket on the bleachers next to Minhee, there to cheer him on. He made Minhee make sure you wouldn't drink too much, not even a sip, as he only let you drink sprite. "One sip." You said as you reached out for the cup Minhee was holding that was actually for Jungmo. "No, I don't think so." He replied, swatting your hand away.

"Oh come on! Just a sip."

"No! I promised Mogu."

"He wouldn't mind,"

"Uh, yes he would."

"Please?

"No-"

"Y/n!" Jungmo called out for you as he watched you and his best frind argue over a stupid drink. Your eyes lit up as they set on Jungmo’s figure, his helmet in his hand, his hoodie smeared all over with oil and dirt. He would use his signature leather jacket, but he wanted you to use it tonight. You start to rush down the bleachers, mumbling a few apologies to people you accidentally kick or bump into.

Jungmo laughs at you when you finally reach his arms, your own circling around his waist, your face pressed up to his hoodie, the oil now on your face as well. "Baby, I'm sorry but i'm gonna have to put this on your back okay? I swear it's not a kick me sign. I only do that to Mini." He mumbled against your forehead as you felt him stick something to your back. You pull back from him, an eyebrow raised in curiosity. "What is it?"

He grinned at you before placing a quick, wet kiss to your lips, also known as his infamous good luck kiss he would always require in order to win every race. He then raised his helmet to his head, his fluffy hair bouncing as his head fits through it perfectly. "Ask Minhee, babe." Was the only thing he said before he got onto his motorcycle, zooming off with an 'I LOVE YOU BABYYY' You giggle as you wave back at him. Turning around, you notice everyone staring at your back. "I will beat his ass if it says kick me."

You walk up cautiously, sure not to bump into more people. You reach your seat just to see Minhee smirking at you. "Oh my fucking god it says kick me, doesn't it?" You panic, trying to rip off whatever was on your back. Minhee hits the back of your head, making you stop to hold your head in pain.

"Keep it on, it will save you, trust me." His words confuse you even more. You face him with a big frown, "What does it say?" You ask him, scowling as you see one of the showgirls trying to touch Mark. You grin in triumph when he zooms off in his motorbike. "It says 'KOO JUNGMO’S PROPERTY (the jacket included)'. He's whipped for you. I've never seen him so in love." He coos when a big hue of pink dusts over your cheeks.

"Oh." You state, watching your boyfriend as he gets ready to race, the light pink on your cheeks growing bigger into a deep crimson as you thought of what Minhee said. You watch as Jungmo starts revving up his engine, standing out in his hoodie as the rest of the contestants are all wearing leather jackets. A tiny smile appears on your face when you realize he had given you his, instead of wearing it himself.

Your cheeky boyfriend glanced at you, and although his helmet and hair blocked it, you swear you saw a small wink sent to you. He was definitely gonna win.

NOT ME GHOSTING FOR LIKE A MONTH 😭✋ here’s the a very very shitty Jungmo little drabble to make it up haha 🤠 i hope it’s okay 😔🔫 please feel free to find and read my other posts, like seriously, please
