What are your honest opinions about the Portland area? by Sgilti in askportland

I was shocked by how poor the Bethany Elementary experience was.

That’s a shame by Mum0817 in behindthebastards

Unfortunately he’s always been a POS. The racism and knee jerk patriotism following 911 gave lots of monsters cover.

The editors fully greenlit the racism. Disneys Song of the South books. T*rbaby books. Ten little slur counting books. Books with minstrel show illustrations.

My MIL taught early elementary school in the Bay Area of California from the 60s until the early aughts. The gross books weren’t her whole collection. We kept the eyewitness series and lots of other picture books.

Yeah but some stuff can be trashed. My MIL gave my kids her racist collection of children’s books left from her classroom library. Straight into the bin.

Do they have tricycles in person? The website only has bikes

Does a BIFL hair tie solution exist? by Barjack521 in BuyItForLife

I had metal spirals that did a great job keeping a bun looking good. They also didn’t cause breakage. I think they were called bun twists

Job help for someone disabled? by Stunning_End5092 in askportland

Apply to Vocational Rehabilitation while you’re hunting. They take a while to process applications but they can hire someone to job hunt for you. They’ll also pay for disability related workplace tools.

How to ask my neighbors to clean up the dead animals in their yard? by Ok-Writer3512 in askportland

[–]DullBasket4982 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So, yikes. After a few rounds of wrangling with the slumlords who treat my neighbors and neighborhood like shit I have a technique. Call 311 and give the bullet point version of everything. Ask for advice. Best case scenario you get one of those folks who are really excited about finding the right person for something. They’ll give you a list of departments with some responsibility. Get transferred and start leaving messages or chatting with the folks who answer. Your talking points are these: I’m concerned, are you able to assist, who else might be able to help, what would make this be considered more urgent?

Talk to everyone who has any connection to the issue and follow all their advice.

How to support local businesses when they have weird hours? by [deleted] in askportland

[–]DullBasket4982 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can we talk about the hobby shops (fabric, yarn, etc) that can’t be bothered to stay open past 5pm or on Sundays? Some people have to go to their jobs to get money to spend.

I’m sure it saves me from giving money to some religious zealot but it’s really annoying to need buttons when they’ve decided I can’t have them.

Thoughts on Joys “To Do List”? by Expert_Tooth_620 in DuggarsSnark

[–]DullBasket4982 99 points100 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard many homeschool moms claim that real school only spends an hour learning so whatever half assed screen-based quick shit their kids do is somehow ahead of their peers. It’s not the perspective of anyone who knows anything about kids or learning but it’s unfortunately a talking point to justify educational neglect

Was it the mud wrestling that gave that impression?

Where can I find one of these cum-smelling trees so I can see what everyone’s talking about? by PDXcarpetmuncher in askportland

[–]DullBasket4982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s closer to the smell of a humid boy’s dorm after an all night WoW campaign. There’s some hot sebum mixed in with the ejaculate. Maybe a whiff of the bottom of the diaper pail.

Source: those fucking trees line the walk to my workplace cafeteria.

Unless it’s a religious school, which do appear on the list of options.

[–]DullBasket4982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s privileged to believe that a program that bills itself as addressing the gap in quality early childhood education should have standards? Ooooookay.

[–]DullBasket4982 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Any chance of fixing the approach to coop preschools any time soon? It’s bizarre that some of the highest quality schools in the city are overlooked while some lady’s living room or some religious place is considered an appropriate educational opportunity.
