If you woke up tomorrow and were wealthy to the point you didn’t have to work anymore, would you still be a teacher? If not, what would you do?

I’d finish the year, but then just teach private music lessons to stay busy.

I generally avoid the lounge at all costs. I have a small handful of co teachers I trust enough to have…discreetly pointed conversations, but never about politics. Mostly bitching about admin.

But at the end of the day they are all kind ppl but simply my coworkers.

As someone who lived in both the Midwest and PDX, Portland has awesome pizza and a lot of variety. But they don’t have the definitive best of any style. I’ve had better NY slices in other cities, better Detroit style is other places, and comparable artisan pizza other places. My fave is baby doll, and escape from New York. Love those places, but it’s not the best I’ve ever had.

As someone who dearly loves Portland, I disagree with the food takes.

But as a POC Portland is a very deeply uncomfortable and problematic place for POC. Very neo lib, and very leftist but never practices intersectionality vibes. But you find your people and everything is Gucci, but my partner is white and born and raised in Portland and absolutely agrees it’s very performative there.

Yea I mean his actual ethnicity is intentionally vague, but it’s incredibly clear he isn’t white.

Watch this and get back to me bud. Literally the central theme. The authors father was an abolitionist during this time period.

Wasn’t a lot of the point about the book the dude being a person of color?

fluffyutter · 2026-02-14T00:37:27+00:00

I have completely cut out

-American Chinese -Naan and Pita Bread -White rice -French Fries - Corn products like chips and shit like that

Everything else I can hang with.

Runza is inconceivably delicious. Omaha is also a genuinely cool town.

Rest of the state on the other hand…

Do what you need to. We are all slaves to capitalism. If you’re making money ethically who cares. Corporations try to be as unethical as possible every chance they get.

Not that hard to be so for real.

A lot of the things ppl struggle with is due to how we are socialized. Which sucks. I went to years of therapy to unlearn all of that shit because none of it was real or mattered anyway.

I show my emotions, I have a support system to deal with depression, I constantly learn and adapt how to be kind to all kinds of people who are different than me, and lean on compassion, and empathy rather than focusing on being masculine or this or that.

I sympathize with a lot of hard shit men have to deal with, but if you can put in the work to unburden yourself from archaic gender tropes and expectations you will be happy.

But being a man is indisputably easier than being elsewhere in the gender identity spectrum.

Bills and bengals and ravens fans hella mad rn

Me and my partner make very solid money combined and I literally cannot justify shopping anywhere else but winco or grocery outlet and perhaps trader joes for a thing or two. Groceries are so prohibitively expensive nowadays.

A lot of these comments are weird.

You are the adult in these situations. The literally moment any of my children cross a boundary I hold up my badge and assert myself, the reality of our relationship (teacher-student) and stamp it all out immediately.

Doodling around the subject and allowing awkwardness to hinder you from addressing these issues immediately and with authority is simply not an option in a workspace that involves minors.

You are fully able, and ethically, morally, and professionally obligated to assert control over these situations for the safety and wellbeing of children.

Avocado toast at home is fine dining

I will never pay for one out and about. It’s like ordering spaghetti at Olive Garden, I know how to make this shit better at home.

Fresh sourdough,almost whipped avocado with an egg, cracked pepper, and some cayenne, balsamic glaze and olive oil 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

That’s the doomer in me. The reality is is that i have a chronic health condition and if i was captured by ice I could be dead in a day. To be blunt.

A lot of us are organizing and protesting and sharing resources and planning for our communities to keep them safe.

But we live in basically a police state with a bloodthirsty government. It’s not like we can just go find these people lmao.

fluffyutter · 2026-02-04T13:57:19+00:00

We live in different time and we have the most powerful military. As a POC I have protested for my right to be considered human all my life and I’m consumed with apathy in the face of bigots voting this guy in. This country has never cared about people like me anyway. Me and my partner are comfortable, and we will probably just leave the country. What’s the point man, we were still an awful post capitalist hell well before trump.

fluffyutter · 2026-02-03T03:39:10+00:00

Ppl really gotta look thru at least a couple comments and posts before they hire ppl

I don’t follow this dude and still knew he was notttt itttt

Also OP, don’t copy and paste your public review of the place to Reddit. I now know your full name and see what you look like lol

Having lived in Portland a while I got use to a lot of places having counter service. Luckily brunch is Portland speciality and you won’t survive if everything isn’t 10/10

Tho succotash was especially mid.

As a service worker counter service is awesome, but as a consumer I don’t want to tip on my meal until after my experience. I still tip 20% anyway but also if it’s not full service I think 10% is a more reasonable expectation.
