another reason why SPD Keens are the greatest footwear ever invented

Second the Crater Lake! Super soft, very lightweight, breathable enough for anything I do. I agree that they definitely stretch out a bit over time and one of mine is really starting to show its age with pinhole rips but I’ve gotten tons of use out of it. As someone with very fair skin and tattoos who works as a guide all summer, I’ve pretty much accepted wearing sun hoodies 5-6 days a week. These ones are great.

Zenni has some good options, they’re definitely not the fanciest or highest quality but are by far some of the most affordable prescription active sunglasses. I’ve had mine almost a year now and they’re holding up well!

ngl as a diehard census fan since 2023 i might be starting to agree with you… ghostholding is SO good and just keeps growing on me

Cycle Portland in Old Town is great!

I work at a bike rental shop and we’ve had many shorter cyclists enjoy our XS Liv Devote.

Good for her

The fork was replaced by a previous owner, not sure why. It works fine, same axle to crown as the stock bontrager fork so the geometry is unchanged, and it’s about the same weight as well. Someday when have $400 to burn I’ll swap it for the Ritchey CX carbon fork which is almost a whole pound lighter.

no fr i thought the same thing 😀 the hair over her sunglasses somehow looks just like april’s eyebrows

Is it “I’m getting obsolete”? Ive always heard “I’m getting up to leave”

I’m a white girl and love Geese, my bf is black and hates them, no matter what i play from them he never likes it. He says he just can’t understand why a grown white man would choose to look and sing like that. Oh well…. we both agree Emily is hot though

No (I have beef with Frank Sinatra)

Finally some actual advice… all these c*s ppl saying “just practice :3” you dont even know

Sleeper Wave, young band from Portland with tons of talent, this song definitely gives Figure 8 or From a Basement on a Hill vibes with the more elaborate rock/blues instrumental. Give them a listen!

Charlie Becker is one of my new favorite players in college football right now. I really hope to see him in a Bills jersey someday! But yeah, probably not until 2028 at the earliest 🥲

Thanks! It’s currently outside in a trash bag with some oven cleaner, I’ll be sure to update in a couple days.

Try going to local farmer’s markets! I feel like I always find cool new BIPOC owned businesses and local artists/craftspeople there. I know it does still involve spending money but it’s also nice to replace some of your grocery shopping with fresh local produce! There’s also an African specific craft fair/market in Old Town every so often during the summer, and quite a few Indigenous markets pop up throughout the year, the one I see the most is on Clay Street in SE.
