Ok, I attended the thursday night bike ride which was pretty great. Also going to see troilus and cressida, some statuary, norm macdonald, gonna float on the river, smoke a lot of weed, eat a lot of weed food, scrape the bookstores. Also? Don't overthink it - a full day roller skating in a giant circle at Oaks Park with five hundred extremely aggressive twelve year olds. Heaven.

When i was last here you could only buy 7g of weed, but more limiting, one single edible, at any individual marijuana store, per day, which created a thrilling imperative - visit every single weed store in portland eating one candy per stop. Now i would unfairly be considered an addict, a junkie, if I spent two to three days biking around to every dispensary in the city and not doing anything else with my time here. Its bs

i have to make my own edibles now that retail isn't doing it for me anymore. here you can by 24g at once and it's really just a matter of stepping out the door and coming back in if you want more. i buy a bunch of cheap shake to make weedbutter and it works out well. come to seattle and we'll get highhhhhhhh...

oh, when you're looking at books, open up readsettlers.org and see if you can find any oop source material, just not chapters 12-14

i wish i could find it but there was this tumblr post from a year or so ago where the person was mad bc they were demisexual and their parents didn't realize how special that was. imagine being that parent. your teen announces that they're some new sexuality you've never heard of they found on the internet and you're going oh jesus what kind of cartoon ruminant do they want to fuck but then it's like "no it means i only want to have sex with people i love"


i saw that post but sadly the only one i've ever screencapped is this

Portland is a great city, it combines the traffic experience of LA with the prices of NYC and slug density of Seattle, but with the racial make up and insular hostility of a butte Montana. It's the best of all worlds.

Yeah it only seems cool because I am here visiting my grandparents so I planned ahead to be able to spend, for example, $17 on the catfish and waffle (singular) for breakfast yesterday at the live jazz cafe that I only had to walk along a phenomenally dangerous highway for a twenty minutes to reach, since I saved $800 on the whole shelter part of the trip. And because NYC is so incredibly filthy and covered with garbage that I am starting to get agitated, while over here, not so much garbage. Cops have already stopped me here because I biked through a stop sign, laying bare the true face of the terror that undergirds the citys leafy loins.

The secret to NYC is to not live in Brooklyn, of which my singular greatest impression was the wind whipping Street garbage at me like Robert D. Niro at the end of Brazil + the general sense that everything never really stopped being an industrial wasteland, everyone just moved in anyways. By contrast, Queens was like a spike lee movie, all adorable neighborhood kids and men selling insane products on street corners. Very clean.

i decided i'm probably just going to apply to jobs for when i finish my masters, instead of levelling up anymore at school. for health/bureaucratic reasons i probably have to stay in ontario for a few years, unless i become a writer on Keven's Comedy Dojo on Amazon and can live in his basement in Astoria. i might try to avoid toronto because i don't really see the point of just fighting to death against real estate investment trusts on a modest income. so i'm thinking ottawa maybe. it looks like i will be a teaching assistant for a political theory class this fall though and i've got my courses picked out.... #winning

i am on disability here so i have a small income floor that i could combine with a part-time job and writing or whatever as my health improves. it'd be hard to live outside ontario because i lose the disability (and maybe health insurance). i mean they will still tax back my disability at about 50% because our hell world. but if i can get in at like... a quasi-governmental organization or whatever... yeah... i could work part-time and still be able to survive probably, then improve over time into a real full-time position. i could do it in toronto too i guess... i shouldn't be a jerk about toronto lol.
