I'm gonna look into this.

Stop it!
@jamiedunphy.bsky.social - I'm not one of your constituents, but I do live in the metro area and loved you ideas on City Cast today. I love it when government actually does things! Good luck.
This week was about Fossil fuels in Portland.
Hereβs my Weekly Top Ten:
Do expensive tickets to Phish exist? Kinda thought "cheap" was implied in the phrase "ticket to Phish"
You read our minds!
I'm interested in this. Portland is the 27th largest city in America and we're fighting about kids having a dance party during recess? Give me a break.
Not a revival...a remnant...
Go see more live music.
Help opening for Mudhoney at Dante's.
This crowd is very specific. I haven't seen a lot of stretched earlobes with a bald spot before, but I'm old now, so it tracks.
I've said this before and no one asked then either, but: downtown crows > Parkrose geese > Chapman swifts.
A happy Imbolc to all who celebrate.
Also 47th southbound if you're heading west.
This is so funny.
"You can't turn off of Sandy!" youtu.be/C_nCA2y0YQo?...
Ok ok fine, anyone who is trying to turn left anywhere other than 56th or 82nd!
Dear everybody who tries to take a left turn off of Sandy Blvd: quit it.
I got recognized in public for the first time ever today. In fairness, the person was sitting next to me and literally reading the new @streetroots.bsky.social article about the city council and my goofy face was right there, but still! Neat! Thanks for the conversation Lucy!
Here we go!
We did it! It's a new day in Portland, and I'm feeling good.
Tomorrow afternoon, I'll be taking my official oath of office to represent East Portland in the new Portland City Council.
Surreal.
Watch it live starting at 1:00pm!

Hey! ππΎ It's your incoming District 1 Portland City Councilors, Jamie, me and Loretta!!! π«‘π«ΆπΎ Today the entire council-elect had our orientation, and I'm so excited to start this journey alongside some really cool humans across the city who are passionate, smart, and ready to govern πͺπΎβΌοΈ
I admitted this to the group last night but...I don't own a working bicycle. The crowd didn't boo or throw things, luckily. But I don't think I can get away with it for too much longer...
All joking aside I really had a great time with these folks and look forward to fighting alongside them.
Yes please!
As the most labor-endorsed incoming City Councilor, I decided it was important for me to be a card-carrying member of a union. I'm proud to be joining the American Federation of Musicians Local 99. Proud to stand with my fellow musicians and my entire labor family in the fight for workers!
Fun fact, @candaceavalos.bsky.social recorded her interview last week (airing this week) and she did so well that they played part of it again during my interview and asked me what I thought about it.
I thought she was exactly correct, for the record.
I got interviewed by the legend Ken Boddie on KOIN 6's Eye on Northwest Politics! It's getting very real, y'all.
The professional political class in Portland has no idea what happens East of 82nd. We do though.
I am honored to serve this community. Thank you everyone for your support and your patience. Let's do this thing!
I can't think of a better way to honor Bob Salinger's legacy than by protecting West Hayden Island forever. Let's make this happen. www.wweek.com/news/2024/11...
I've been in DC for the last few days, and it makes me appreciate Portland that much more. However, the National Museum of African American History and Culture was worth the trip alone. I'm very glad to have gone prior to starting this next chapter of leadership in a very uncertain time.
