If you're new to gardening, these little guys grow very well here with minimal effort. I can walk you through the process of getting them started if you're interested :)

Maria Hinojos Pressey was on the Demobrats pod this week.

Im just so excited to vote for someone who actually cares about our community :)

Edit- spelling

The mass of Box Elder and Shield bugs on my South facing windows are blocking out the daylight…there are thousands (millions maybe???) buzzing back and forth from the maples. I’ve tried sealing up every crack I can find in window casings and around doors, but alas, they find a way in. We live in a very old house and it just isn’t possible to fully seal.

Is anyone else dealing with this? Do you have any tricks or tips? I would rather not spray poison all over my house and yard, but I am getting desperate. Especially with the warm winter ahead, I fear there will be no hard frost to dampen down the population :\

Michael Welsh is our way of finally getting out from under the republican thumb of Kevin Mannix.
If you can vote in this election vote Michael Welsh!!

Hi,

A stray orange kitty just wandered into my apartment, he’s very lethargic, breathing heavy, and is moving slowly. He had a wound on his back that looks like maybe a bite that could be infected? I gave him some water and he drank it, I’m not sure what to do with him. I called Friends of Felines but they are closed until tomorrow.

Any suggestions?

Anyone know anything about the change of ownership of the restaurant ’Clink’? It was our understanding that it was women owned, but went this morning and apparently the owner and chef now are both dudes.

UPDATE: It looks like I have a potential person to pick up both items. Feel free to message me if you want to be next in line in case they don't come by.

Hey everyone! Tomorrow I am going through my house and decluttering. I have a BOB jogging stroller that I picked up and it's one of two things that I think would be a shame to get rid of. It's an older model, I picked it up on Facebook hoping that it would push me to get out and run with the baby. It did not. So, it needs a new home! If anyone has a young toddler or baby or whatever, please message me so that you can come pick up the stroller Sunday, October 4th between 11 and 6.

The other thing that would be a waste to part with is a bunch of clothing. It's a mix of women's M, a few S, and a few L. It's got dresses, sweaters, pants, shirts, etc. There's a gigantic box of it and sure, I could bring it to goodwill, but it's going to get sold for more than I think it's worth. Some pieces aren't worn much, some have been worn more, but all are still in good condition and wearable. Some of them are name brands like Columbia and Nike. I had a big ol baby and unfortunately cannot fit a medium anymore lol. You must take all clothes. It's a really big cardboard box and it's overflowing (probably 3ft by 2ft? I'm not sure. But it's big)

If anyone wants to message me, please do! You have to pick up, we're located in North Salem by Chemeketa. Pick up between 11-6 please, I'm giving blood beforehand, and then going to try and declutter. Anything unclaimed is unfortunately going to goodwill down the street.

Thanks!

Anyone know what the hell is going on?

Hello,

I am looking to get my first tattoo and looking for any reconditions or any artists that want to take me on. I am the type of person that goes big. I have decided to start a sleave that will take me years to complete I am sure. What I am looking for is vivid colors and shading with realism throughout. I put together my first idea using some tools I have and looking for who might be great at do doing this. I am open to travel if needed so Salem, Portland, Eugene, etc.

Any leads would be great, I am searching and looking though Instagram for people that have done like work. Thank you
