Asking for boosts again

Sharing this again because we still haven't reached our goal, and I might end up increasing that a bit. I am unable to work and go to school simultaneously, due to my chronic pain/illness, it's just too hard on my body. That means I will have no income over the summer, and will have to figure out selling my jewelry. I want to be able to save some of the funds for her celebration of life, and not have it all end up going to bills.

Where we're at: cremation was fully covered, which was $1350. The most important thing! Right now any extra has gone to bills, and I am working to save as much as possible. It's hard to plan for a celebration when I am not sure what I am working with money wise. Dying is so expensive.

If you're local to Portland and would like to buy some of my handmade whimsigoth jewelry let me know, and that is another way you can help! I'll get some pictures up soon.

I still appreciate everyone that has helped so far in any way, it means so much to me!

$Flyer for a fundraiser that reads: please support Yvonne's family in their time of loss. They have lost their mother/grandmother and they need funds for final expenses and loss of income. Donations can be sent to GoFundMe or Cashapp $thecatbites. A little under 2k is still left to go. On the flyer is a photo of Yvonne and her grandchild, they are at pride and holding a rainbow flag together. There is a QR code for the go fund me, and the flyer is done in Shades of green, and there is two daisies and a candle to adorn the flyer.\nhttps://gofund.me/cc90dfc2$

Any baseball fans here?

My cousins & I grew up with stories, photos & newspaper clippings in a photo album of the 1970s Portland Mavericks, all collected by a huge fan of theirs.

We admired their love of the game, their moxie, and their playfulness with the fans.

If you've seen 'The Battered Bastards of Baseball', you'll understand. If you haven't seen it, do, really.. it's that delightful a true story.

If you're looking for the whimsy, love of baseball, and community spirit in today's day and age....

Banana Shenanigans! They go all in on their playfulness, and I love them for it.

Report back from Rose City Counter Info:

In the Fall of 2024, several dozen trees in the Harborton Reliability Project area were spiked. Metallic and ceramic spikes were used, and between one to three spikes were placed in each selected tree.

We waited before sending this message in order to give time for legal advocacy groups to do their work, and also to let any traces of our presence decay into the loam.

Now, the project continues despite the efforts of the community, and the area threatened to be destroyed has grown.

It is now our time to get to work to defend forest park.
We will not let them take the earth from us.

Sincerely,
P.G.E. (Portlanders Getting Even)

I forgot how well you folks in #Portland #Oregon grow moss.
#Mosstodon

Color photo showing a fitted drystone wall in a very damp climate veritably crawling with moss. Some other bushes poke out here and there too. Misses are lime green through medium green in color.

Some leggy lime green moss grows at the base of a metal chain link fence on top of dark damp concrete. It looks like it’s trapped at school and trying to get out.

I never learned what crazy construction process was going on inside of this random neighborhood house when we lived in #StJohns in 2016.

View of the front porch of a nondescript light greyish blue house. Inside, plywood is in the corners of the window to form a circular opening, inside of which steep thin handmade wooden stairs go upwards to some sort of loft. The light inside of an orange glow, though at other times there were all sorts of colored lights turning on and off.

About a dozen cops showed up to the community free store again tonight. Before anyone had even arrived to set up, Jessie Burke, CEO and partner at The Society Hotel, was standing on the corner where folks usually set up with her husband speaking to a handful of police. Burke has a history of being hostile to the houseless community and those providing them resources. (In addition to everything in this article, she has countless posts on her instagram that are vile) https://www.portlandmercury.com/news/2024/05/16/47206194/county-commissioner-candidate-saw-more-than-40k-funneled-to-her-husband-by-a-board-she-oversees

People ended up setting up just around the corner from where the free store typically is on Thursdays. Eventually, the police followed and surveilled from across the street for a while and eventually left. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were thrown off by how many people there were.

I think tonight displayed a successful community defense. While the police were still busy in the initial location with some people who stayed back to argue with them and the police tried to figure out if people had given up, others were around the corner setting up. When I first approached the distro setup in the new area, I was surprised by how many people there were. Not just the usual distro folks and people seeking resources, but others there to support and help keep the distro going even in the face of realtime repression. It wasn’t an ideal location to setup by any means, but people thought quick and didn’t let that ridiculous police response stop the distro from going on.

Thursday free store is tonight!!

Of course there is no guarantee whether there will or will not be a police response to distro tonight, but this will be the first Thursday distro after last week’s escalation by portland police.

Come down, check it out, take what you need, help out, or just hang out. The people’s free library has tons of great zines and the librarians love having conversations about them. It’s a great place to meet people and more people keeps things safer for everyone.

kolektiva.socialAlissa Azar (@alissaazar@kolektiva.social)Attached: 1 video Yesterday at the community free store's Thursday distro, Portland Police arrived and began to harass community members both seeking and distributing resources. Around 6:00 PM, a group of about four officers approached as people were still setting up. They informed those present that the tables on the sidewalk needed to be removed or citations would be issued. Moments later, without any warning or explanation, an officer grabbed an individual by one of the tables, forced them to their knees, and restrained their hands behind their back. They were then dragged across the street, handcuffed, and placed in a squad car where they were held for 30 minutes before being released. When asked why they were being arrested, an officer said that they were just detaining people to get their identification. In a matter of minutes, police went from supposedly being there because of the tables to detaining people they claimed were on the street. Soon after, the police presence intensified, with at least 11 squad cars present and over 20 officers on foot, filling an entire city block. Multiple people walking by asked if someone had been shot. It should be noted that PPB consistently complains about staff shortages but they have no issue sending out an insane amount of resources to harass and assault the houseless community and those helping them. After the first arrest, I was standing on the sidewalk when two officers approached me, pulled me into the street, and restrained my hands behind my back. One officer repeatedly presented me with two options: accept a citation or go to jail. Feeling angry and unjustly accused, I remained silent, refusing to comply with an unfair choice. When I didn't respond as he hoped, I was handcuffed and taken back to the sidewalk. Eventually, I was released with a citation, which I believe was for impeding traffic, though the details are illegible. During this incident, 3 people total were detained and cited, others were also subjected to harassment and being assaulted by the police, and citations were issued to parked cars nearby. The community free store has become an essential resource in Portland, flourishing over the past year. It provides hot food, water, snacks, seasonal clothing, hygiene and medical supplies, tents, blankets, and more-resources that can be lifesaving. Since January 2nd, the police have increasingly targeted the community free store. Initially, they surveiled from their vehicles, but soon escalated to recording from a distance, questioning individuals in groups, and gathering intelligence. Yesterday marked a significant escalation of their tactics. As in previous encounters, when PPB threatened to cite individuals, many who relied on these vital resources left empty-handed. This intimidation strategy effectively discourages vulnerable populations from seeking help. Which is of course intentional. The police's actions also aim to instill fear among those distributing resources and to deter future congregation and participation. Detaining and citing individuals also serves to identify them for further intelligence gathering on these communities. Mutual aid efforts, the poor, and houseless communities have long faced repression and state-sanctioned violence. The autonomy and self-reliance fostered by these community initiatives challenge state authority and control over our lives. It is not uncommon for those involved in mutual aid to experience harassment, surveillance, physical violence, arrests, and citations. The state utilizes various repressive measures, criminalizing mutual aid activities and deploying law enforcement to disrupt gatherings. This situation highlights the ongoing tension between state power and community resilience, emphasizing the urgent need to protect mutual aid as a crucial form of organization that addresses systemic inequalities and promotes collective empowerment.
