#Running update: I ran two 5ks on Saturday, one in the morning (#parkrun) and one in the evening. The evening one was supposed to be a fun run (the Starlight Run here in #Portland) but I ended up running it just as fast as my parkrun. So, a whole lot of recovery on Sunday, which included pizza.
Then this morning was a leisurely 36 minutes with a HR at or around 139bpm. Felt good and my HR was so low that I thought my watch was screwing up.

PPB says the recent deaths of six women around the #Portland area currently appear unconnected.
So everything I’m finding in Portland is “whole place but the owner will be on premises” which is not the same thing.
Where do people find vacation rentals in Portland these days?
Another missing woman in the #Portland metro.
i’m going to try and switch careers and teach myself #python (and #django ?). any of you friendly #portland folks (or really anyone who sees this) have tips that aren’t a coding boot camp or college? i come from an (outdated) front end #webdev background circa 2005-2015ish if that matters. mainly looking at python for web/app work possibilities. thanks 😊
Am I connected to anyone doing interesting things in #Portland Oregon? I'm losing my mind in a hotel room.
I know there's a well respected vegan strip club here, and there's some appeal to going and supporting fellow workers.

FYI, the place I'm hoping to visit tomorrow is Donut Palace
Official address is Portland but they're on the west side near Beaverton.
It’s almost the first Monday of the month again, that means it’s time for the letters to prisoners writing group to meet up!
Come send a letter to criminalized survivors of domestic violence, political prisoners, or any of your homies that could just use a kind word while they’re locked up!
#Portland is choosing #ViolencePrevention strategies that use a #PublicHealth model over gunshot-detection technology.
I cannot believe how crowded it was at the TNR. I eventually rode off on my own, there were simply too many people for it to be fun. 50-100 is fun. 1000 is bananas. 🍌 #Portland #Pedalpalooza
Anyone interested in doing the digital nomad thang on the left coast of the U.S. should come to #Portland #Oregon! It's gorgeous weather now in the #PNW, we don't have any sales tax unlike our neighbors to the north or south, and everything is lush and green. You get whiffs of perfume just walking by flower beds. World-class coffee houses galore. $5 all-day public transit. Bike or scooter rentals everywhere. What's not to like?!
Hey #portland, I’ve been seeing these abandoned real estate flyer boxes around town. It’s pretty clear that whatever company installed and utilized them gave up and left them to become eyesores during the early months of Covid.
So I decided to liberate one from its shackles and give it a new life as a #littleFreeLibrary box.
If you see one, you should too. If you want one and can’t find one, let me know. I have eyes on a few more nearby.
I’m excited for the Thursday Night ride for the #Pedalpalooza kickoff tonight! I’ll be on my orange Brompton. #Portland https://www.shift2bikes.org/calendar/
#DuranDuran are on tour in North America.
Tonight (June 1), the band play Moda Center in #Portland.

Wednesday, May 31, 2023
Today is likely to be the coolest day of the week with highs near 20°C under partly cloudy skies. Of note, there were a few areas below 5°C this morning, including Vernonia which did 1°C for a low.
Temperatures begin to climb tomorrow heading toward a heat wave early next week. Models have backed off a little on the heat but still put us above 30°C for several days.

Slowly increasing clouds this afternoon with a low chance of thunderstorms toward the evening. That said, I’m not very impressed by the chance and I thing very few of any people in the metro will be getting thunderstorm activity. High near 28°C.
Pretty similar conditions tomorrow with a high near 30°C. Cooler with more clouds Saturday.
Man I forgot that more than a few people in the #TriCities just let their dogs bark incessantly at night. I almost never hear long lasting barking in my #Portland neighborhood.
Doesn’t help that in suburbia the sound travels much further, so when one dog starts barking others from a few streets over decide they need to join in.
Control your pets, people.
#Portland's #Hackerspace CTRL-H is opening back up!
https://www.meetup.com/ctrl-h/events/293727500/
I went once when I first moved to #PDX but I lived in SE so it was a kinda long bike ride. I moved to NE and I was hoping to go more often since it's less than a mile away now, but then Covid happened.
So STOKED that it's coming back! Me and my partner have some #3Dprinting/#laserCutting projects we want to do!
I haven't been to a #dorkbot since I lived in #SF, so I can't wait to see what people bring!

@ehurtley@pdx.social @portlandy@pdx.social I eat lunch at Columbia Park in North #Portland, and there is ALWAYS a #PPB cruiser parked in the University Park Baptist Church parking lot. ALWAYS!!! Shit else to do but sit and stare at a fucking empty church all week. Tax dollars at "work".
I'm usually all for #bicycle infrastructure, but nobody needs to ride a bicycle anywhere near this ditch. If you're already that far north just go ride along the river.

What we need to do is close Ainsworth to automobile traffic; install planters at 33rd and 15th.
Hi, I'm a professional violinist who plays the soundtracks :sylveon_squish:
Ok, #Introduction over. I'm a musician, not a wordsmith :growlithe_derp:
... ... ...
I'm being gently informed by my responsible half that I'm to write a *proper* intro, as she puts it...
... ... ...
<wall-o'-text>
Hi Fedi/Mastodon, I'm Octavia, a 30ish Japanese and USian violinist (and composer) whose mother introduced her to the violin at age 5 and Super Mario Brothers at age 3. This would go on to have profound consequences, chief amongst which was that the majority of the activities I enjoy involve fingertip dexterity. The secondary effect was that I would go on to use the classical training I received throughout my childhood to, for the most part, play soundtracks while letting my classical repertoire languish :blobhaj_peek:
Nintendo classics like Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Pokemon, and Smash, JRPG classics like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy (IX and X specifically), movie soundtracks including a bunch of Studio Ghibli/Miyazaki Hayao works, Disney, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Carribbean, and Master & Commander (which is just my excuse to play the Bach Cello Suite no. 1: Prelude :leafeon_giggle: ), and a few anime pieces here and there (along with at least one My Little Pony theme :blobhaj_jam: ) are the bulk of what I play when I perform solo. I do play classical pieces here and there, but they mostly tend to be various movements from the Bach Cello Suites, along with a smattering of Celtic music, though I try to mix everything together in my sets, leaving people guessing as to what's a soundtrack and what's not :blobhaj_peek:
I perform at various conventions in the Pacific Northwest of the US (formerly in Brook and Link cosplays), whether inside or outside, and also perform as part of Troupe Seven Stars at faires in the area over the summer months while filling the rest of my time playing solo or ensemble shows, mostly near Portland. About half of Saturdays are spent performing at Fleur de Lis Bakery & Cafe in the Hollywood district.
I tend to spend my free time dissociating in the shower, overcoming whatever ADHD lobs my way, and running out the door like an alternate-universe fusion of Bilbo Baggins and the March Hare from Alice in Wonderland (though, to my astonishment, I've only been late to 2 gigs in my life that I remember). What crumbs of time are spared from those tend to be spent on gaming, reading manga/watching anime, listening to and sharing music (yes, mostly soundtracks), and enjoying what the internet has to offer.
Aside from needing to hop instances, I've found my time on the Fedi to be enjoyable, and I hope to keep meeting interesting, genuine people and sharing time and conversations together :espeon_love: </wall-o'-text>
