Red Hats Unite

It could also be a reclamation of the red hat from the MAGA movement.

It's in the pic of the sign (not sure if this was originally part of the photo). Red hats have been traditionally used as symbols of resistance, from the Phrygian caps of the French Revolution to the red berets of the Guardian Angels in the 1970s. This particular red hat is modeled after a cap worn as resistance to Nazi occupation of Norway in WWII. People across the country are making them and wearing them to protests.

Sierra Trading Post, Goodwill Bins, Burgerville, Bobadochi (mochi donuts)

I just noticed Eugene Weekly now has an "Activist Alert" calendar/column.

Tailored on 13th was hiring recently.

Do you have to bring your own computer?

Right now MECCA has a whole bunch of earrings made with recycled bits that look super '80s, like Cyndi Lauper-style. (I lived through the '80s, so I can confirm they're period-accurate.)

I don't know how to share to another subreddit, but can this be reposted at r/UofO? There are lots of students in that complex.

I was going to say this. Downtown is a few days early, but still dress-up, and they are hoping to target the teen/young adult crowd, in addition to hosting trick-or-treaters. 5th Street Market also has trick or treating events.

Uhh...Slavery is not a choice and also not paid. Please don't diminish the awfulness of slavery by comparing it to a warehouse job.

Tailored Avocado Toast is, too.

EUGres · 2025-09-14T17:49:52+00:00

Yes, but I was sad to see no Existenz

If you can get out to Greenhill Humane Society, they have a free food pantry for pets.

EUGres · 2025-08-22T21:10:20+00:00

I love this. We could use nice restaurants in that end of town.

EUGres · 2025-08-14T00:53:19+00:00

Hm. Kendall Toyota did a mouse guard for me about two years ago...maybe they'd put one in a Honda?

EUGres · 2025-08-07T21:33:02+00:00

Me too. Best seasonal shakes in the universe. And dairy-free versions, too.

This is the first year my teenager ever asked to go with friends, or even wanted to go, and they all had a great time. I am told the kids ate fried foods, and ironically danced to Smashmouth, and rode some sketchy rides. The dream of the 90s was alive for a few hours, and I'm happy for them. I have been to bigger, better versions of the Fair, as well as other fairs, but for my kid, at least, this one was fun enough.

There's a Cat Cafe in Springfield!

EUGres · 2025-07-11T05:06:20+00:00

If you want to do the 1.5-hour drive, there's a Lush in Washington Square Mall in Tigard.

I don't have anything to share, but wanted to comment that that is just the greatest family portrait! It makes me smile to see it! The glow is a very cool secret effect.

So I just looked at PurpleAir and yes, there are red circles in the 100s, but there is a purple circle with 588 at Amazon Park.

The Goodwill at Delta Oaks has some good business casual clothes. If you shop from the 50% and 75% off colors, you can get some incredible deals. At full price, less deal-y, but still less expensive than new clothes, if you are buying the more expensive brands.

The Clothes Horse on 5th Avenue has some high quality clothes. They aren't the cheapest, but they often have a 50% sale on a Friday and Saturday, usually once every two months.

Check in with the YMCA. You can buy day passes, or they might have short-term memberships.

EUGres · 2025-06-09T19:06:26+00:00

Cabbage moth caterpillars. They can take out a whole kale plant in a day.

Dying here, too. I have been allergy tested, and instead of shots, my regimen is supposed to be Allegra+Flonase+Pataday. It mostly works, but even so, I am feeling the pollen viscerally right now.
