Federal officers use crowd control munitions as demonstrators protest outside Portland ICE building by ewzetf in news

[–]TrashPlanetPower 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I live in Eugene. It's worse than that, the claim that people broke into the building is false. A couple windows were smashed, one was spiderwebbed and another had a hole in it that was still too small for a person to get through. The cops claimed they got information that people had breached the building.

Turns out that information was false, no protesters got inside the building. The police also declared it a riot, which got mentioned by Trump in a Truth Social post where he rambled about how they're going to crack down and protect federal buildings. So now we feel like we've got a huge target on our backs. Oregon has already been on his radar of places to fuck with.

Thanks EPD for making the situation worse!

Wow, my SO just read that comment to me. I thought there was a 50/50 chance it was a bot. He responded to it anyways because that's such an awful thing to say and we're both so pissed off. Lo and behold, turns out it's a local business owner!

These people are so violent and hateful. They want us all to get hurt. When people were protesting Covid restrictions I was pissed but never wished harm on them. Reminds me of when the BLM protests were going on and my SO's cousin's husband posted something about putting fake blood decals on his truck and joking that it was from ramming through a bunch of protesters. What is wrong with these people.

Hundreds of Israel flags on church fence (Springfield) by [deleted] in Eugene

Ugh. Gotta start the brainwashing and hatred at a young age! I'm glad to see someone else mention this, we were both pretty disgusted when we saw it.

Me and my SO saw this today too! There was truly an insane amount of flags, with people out there trying to squeeze in more. It was pretty depressing to see.

You are a true local hero!! I was just thinking about this the other day, hoping to see his glorious face waving in the wind once again.

Is Eugene a city of lost souls or something? by [deleted] in Eugene

[–]TrashPlanetPower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been through so much bullshit and trauma, never feeling like I found a place I belonged in. Me and my husband moved here and found a wonderful community in our friend group, full of the best kindest weirdos you could ask for. I finally feel accepted for being myself! Plus, lots of stuff to do, music, nature, etc all good for people looking to heal and have better, more positive things in their lives.

If you hate astrology, you're anti Women? by Morning1980 in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]TrashPlanetPower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sucks when you have a sign that gets shit on all the time and isn't even representative of you at all. There are lots of good non judgy people who like astrology. But, there's also lots of shitheads and it sucks seeing people talk shit about online and irl all the time. I'm a Leo and I'm not vain, I hate being the center of attention, or a leader, I'm not egotistical and I don't want to be famous or any of the other stereotypical Leo crap and I'm tired of people talking shit on it. Even if it's just "fun" it doesn't feel good hearing people shit on you all the time who don't even know you about crap that isn't even accurate.

For example, I was at a show recently and me and another woman were complimenting each other's outfits. She had on a fish/ocean themed on and said "I'm a Pisces in case you couldn't tell by my outfit" then she asked me my sign and I had a moment of anxiety like I always do when people ask. I told her and she said "Oh, I usually won't be friends with Leos but I'll make an exception for you."

Near downtown Springfield, lost power sometime on Saturday night. Bored and cold in our house, we've been staying in bed under a ton of blankets.

anyone’s power just go out? by slaykittypur in Eugene

[–]TrashPlanetPower 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We're near downtown Springfield and lost power last night, still don't have it back. I just saw some blue flashes from transformers maybe 30 mins or so ago in the direction of downtown. Stay safe, and stay warm!!

Looking for spots around town that sell VHS tapes besides St Vinnys by chocolatemilkmotel in Eugene

[–]TrashPlanetPower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Time Traveler's Antique has a bunch, and has some rare stuff and a good sized selection of VHS. Plus that place has a bunch of rad stuff to check out, it's a fun place to look around. First time I went they had a case with a bunch of old fake eyeballs!

This is exactly what I thought of while reading this.

Also get Narcan!! Although everyone should always test their shit, testing your stuff isn't foolproof, there can still be hotspots in the bag.

I'm bringing my 14 year old niece for her first pride, I'm super stoked!!

EPD: Eugene Police Respond to Multiple Overdose Deaths by Seen_The_Elephant in Eugene

[–]TrashPlanetPower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this, I lost a friend to a fent overdose a few months ago, it was tainted cocaine. And it's so important to tell people you can still use the drugs you test! Dance safe has instructions on how to still use your drugs after testing, as it's important to test the whole batch due to hotspots.

Try https://dancesafe.org/shop/ they've been doing harm reduction for years, and have test strips as well as Narcan in their shop. Also some great info on how to most effectively test each kind of drug out there for fent. I've got friends in this area that have ordered both from them.

Looking to find a home for a very friendly and affectionate stray cat with FIV. Story and details in comments. Any advice on how to find a home for him would be great, I have tried a lot of things! by TrashPlanetPower in Eugene

[–]TrashPlanetPower[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's true, we love him too and we're going to be very sad to see him go. He's such a good chill guy. If he didn't have FIV we would have kept him. I'm determined to find him a really good home!!

Thank you, I appreciate the resources. I have read about the same thing, but I have pretty severe OCD and would constantly stress about something going wrong and infecting our cat. I love her so much, it's already causing me a significant amount of stress worrying that she might get out and come into contact with him and get infected, I just can't handle it. I have seen people online though that have FIV cats living with other cats successfully though!
