An incredible poetic voice.

To them, you're useful. You help them push anti-queer and anti-woman laws. Otherwise, they give no shits about you and you'll follow us right into the ovens.

Apparently nothing actually for the city. Mandami is not perfect--no one is--but he really should he seen at least as setting a new standard for mayors across the country. We all deserve at least this! (Related: fuck the mayor of Portland, OR.)

No one is held responsible for this; what they *are* responsible for is stepping back and going, "Whoops, guess I was a little ambiguous. This is what I meant, sorry," instead of attacking your audience as stupid and beneath you.03 Apr 2026 03:20 +0000at://did:plc:e3adzvtg56lfn3wpdlfjwnoc/app.bsky.feed.post/3mikraa5ky22qhttps://bluenotes.social/profile/ecppdx.bsky.social/post/3mikkm6agjc2gThis description is correct.
