I used to be a blogger.
Then my brain broke.
I started blogging in 2003, during the Dean for America campaign. I blogged at BlueOregon.com for a long time, and then tried my hand at video and other endeavors.
Then mental health issues took me down, hard. I’m finally on the other side of that, still with a lot of healing to do but, unlike before, I understand why I had so many problems with doing the things I wanted to do.
So: back to blogging. It’ll be a mixed bag of politics and whatever grabs my attention long enough for me to type 500 –1000 words. Feedback is welcome.
Oregon GOP, waa waa waa
February 1, 2024
The Oregon Supreme Court said that what the voters demanded will be the law of this land. Oregon Republicans don’t like that because it’s not what they want. So they will continue to oppose the voters and democracy.
They are that childish.
They are that childish.
ok, that’s out of the way

I used to do stuff, and then I used to fail at doing stuff. Then I did nothing. That sums up the past 20 years or so. But that was then; this is now.
cheaters

“Cheaters never prosper.” We know that’s not true, but two of the most infamous sports cheaters, who were also the best in their sports, have not-prospered in different ways. Why Lance isn’t Barry.

screaming at myself
after the fact
is a pointless exercise,
but it is a good way
to make a bad situation . . . .

of endless traffic
and the fan in the window. . . .
