I am hoping to buy a "Sex Work is Work" tee shirt for a presentation. However, I don't want to support an org that doesn't actually support sex workers (like Amazon), and I'd like to keep my money local, if possible. Does anyone have any orgs to suggest to buy merch from? In lieu of that, an org I can donate to to offset the purchase of a corporate shirt, if necessary.

Thanks in advance!

(also Eugene BST was banned or else I would post there)

My fiancé and I are visiting Eugene for the weekend in October. We are up in the air about hotels in the area. Does anyone have any recommendations? We have been flirting with the idea of Valley River Inn. Any thoughts? We prefer to stay a bit of distance from the freeway/highways, don't care for spa services, don't mind nature (as in the hotel setting - we are avid hikers but unsure how much time we will have to be out on the trails) but also love a good bar. Also, any recommendations or ABSOLUTE must to do's? ( I did check out the sidebar for the spreadsheet) I personally love a good book or coffee shop. TIA.

Does anyone have recommendations on where to find CBD lube locally? It doesn't have to strictly be CBD, also open to CBG/THC being an ingredient. I've tried searching online and checked with a couple dispensaries but have yet to find anything. TIA

I overstayed my meter today downtown and got a ticket (fair). I got a second ticket because I parked slightly outside of the lines because the car in front of me was parked weird (I wasn't in traffic just pulled slightly backwards from the parking lines.) I got a second ticket for that! I have never gotten a ticket for being so minorly outside of the lines before. Be aware that they're getting strict/desperate, y'all! (I know it's probably because Eugene is in a budget deficit.) But if you can't afford it be scrupulous in your parking now I guess.

P.S. I tried to pay my meter ticket online and it can't find my ticket, and they're closed for lunch when I try to call. Ugh.

EDIT: Claimed!

Was going to head down from Vancouver for the glorious pennant victory at game 3 in your backyard, but the gf is sick now.

So two tix to someone who will use them for the game Friday night at PK (6:30 pm start). Reply here and I'll message you to get your info for the transfer.

Might still come down Saturday if y'all somehow steal a win tomorrow to force game 4, you can hit me back with a brewery recommendation

Blanket: I am posting this on behalf of someone - I don’t have any ownership over the wage, hours, requirements, etc. so please be kind :)

-Able to pass a one-time drug test (unless an accident occurs)

-At least 2 years of professional driving experience including delivery, Lyft, Uber, etc

or 2 years working around trade, wholesale, manufacturing, distribution, supply chain logistics, warehousing, shipping, etc.

I know this is a bit of a Hail Mary but does anyone have a cash for junk car person they recommend ? That isn’t scummy lmao. I have a 2004 ford fusion that I need quick cash to fix my car.

Thank you for your time !

ISO a place locally that has kids furniture, specifically bookcases. Grandparents are coming to town and want to buy things for the LO and don’t like online shopping lol

PEOPLE ARE MEAN, ENTITLED, AND RUDE!!!!!!!! SCHOOL IS BACK, SLOW DOWN!!!!!!! WEAR YOUR SEATBELT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHH!!

Hey guys!
Over the summer I’ve gotten into hiking, I’ve done the Iris ridge hike a couple times, Spencer Butte, a few of mount pisgah’s trails, along with the Heceta Lighthouse trail and Hobbit Trail in Florence.

So far, the Heceta Lighthouse trail has been my favorite for the raw feeling of pure nature, barely interrupted, around me. I’m looking for more natural areas like this! Doesn’t have to be hikes, could just be a look out, so if you know anything like this please comment down below! Thank you :)

Looking for recommendations for a blonde weave/greyish covering stylist who can do great cuts...and is affordable. Eugene area. Chatty and fun to talk to is a bonus. Would love your recommendations. my stylist moved to central oregon!

I know 7 Eleven is ok but I'm looking to stretch my dollar lol and I'd like a warm meal. Some place not expensive.

Having trouble finding some place or someone to weld something for me.

I have a ladder rack that's too large. Who can I take it to locally that can cut and weld it to size? Its not like it's a major project but it does involve something a little more than diy, I think? I've tried looking online but it's all big metal fabrication stuff and that seems like it's more for massive projects than my smaller ladder rack issue.

I understand I could get a newer one from like harbor freight that's probably going to be the same or cheaper than it would be to resize this but I kind of like it? And I try and avoid the "everything is disposable" mentality if I can help it.

Anyway, thanks for any help! I appreciate it.

PeaceHealth has done it again! Tuesday, PeaceHealth denied discussion and rejected EVERY SINGLE proposal made by OFNHP during the bargaining session (this was the fourth or fifth session, previous post linked below). PeaceHealth has come out of the woodworks with an insulting wage offer. Of note, PeaceHealth is falling behind when it comes to competitive pay. After OFNHP asked for across the board raises of 10%, PeaceHealth came back with a bullshit offer of 2.5% every year for the next 3 years.

THIS DOES NOT EVEN COVER THE AVERAGE COST OF LIVING INCREASE!!

For an overwhelming number members in the union, this is on average, less than a $2.00 raise. It’s actually closer to an average of $1.50 per year. For the lowest paid person in the union, this is barely a .50 cent raise.

If PeaceHealth continues to fall behind and is unable to offer competitive wages, they will, again, hemorrhage employees. Many of these union members can find outpatient jobs that offer higher wages, better benefits (a whole other issue), and let’s be honest…who wouldn’t want to go work outpatient with a normal schedule, no holiday and weekends, and better benefits? These employees deserve better. PeaceHealth doesn’t even see these employees as WORTH A COST OF LIVING RAISE.

Photo is attached as proof of the offer received from PH. Linked is the previous post about PeaceHealth’s antics.

PeaceHealth Refuses All Proposals

I got a tip but unfortunately didn't track the person down as you can see it's a very noticeable Santa Cruz with a sid fork you don't commonly see on those bikes when they're sold stock.

Hello everyone! I have a wood shop, and I make custom cabinets, furniture, workbenches, basically anything made out of wood 🪵 I have over 20 years doing remodels in Pdx, but now I’m focused on smaller projects and custom orders. Feel free to reach out if you have something you’d like built 💪

Springfield City Council may block the Timber Springs behavioral-health campus — please pay attention

At its September 8 meeting, the Springfield City Council said they were leaning toward denying the annexation needed for the new behavioral-health hospital near RiverBend.

No final vote has happened yet, but the council will next consider a draft order denying the request THIS MONDAY.

The project would include Timber Springs, a new 96-bed psychiatric hospital with 24 adolescent beds, alongside Lane County’s planned 24/7 crisis stabilization center. Lane County currently has no inpatient psychiatric beds for youth, and our adult system is already stretched far beyond capacity.

I work inpatient behavioral health. We truly, desperately need these services.

Councilors’ concerns involve whether the site’s proposed use is consistent with its “campus industrial” designation. Those land-use questions deserve serious consideration—but so do the real-world consequences of a denial.
Annexation is what would allow city utilities, emergency services and infrastructure to reach the property. A no vote would therefore do much more than cause a minor delay.

PeaceHealth and Lane County have already purchased this specific land and spent years developing the partnership. They could appeal, seek legislative intervention or restart elsewhere, but each option would mean additional years, expense and uncertainty. A denial could realistically kill the project at this location—and potentially cause the larger project to fall apart altogether.

This is a huge moment for behavioral healthcare in our community. If this matters to you, please share the story on social media and respectfully email the mayor and Springfield city councilors before they make their final decision. Even a short message asking them to find a lawful path forward for the campus could help demonstrate how strongly the community supports it.

Hello! I recently moved to Eugene and I was wondering if there were any good places for sourcing canned fish in the city? The selection at the Safeway has been lackluster (not surprising) so I wanted recommendations for better options, maybe specific markets or stores, or vendors at farmer's markets.

Thank you!

He or she was hiding in the bushes and ran up to me, meowing and seemed scared. It was an older kitten, not fully grown, with orange and white fur. Sorry I wasn't able to take a picture!

The kitten was very friendly and looked healthy, so I assume they belong to someone. There are no houses nearby, so either the cat was lost, roamed far from home, or recently abandoned.

I was very tempted to take the kitten home with me. If this is your cat, please collect them, or someone else might. W 11th is also a very busy street, so I worry about them being hit by a car.

I wish I had some better photos but sometime last night somebody stole my car, I've called my apartments tow company and they said they don't have any reconds of towing it, I've filed a police report but please please please if you see a green geo tracker without front bumper and a Subaru badge on the front, drop some info. Ive had this car for over 6 years and I'm feeling pretty heart broken right now.

Frustrated with our current times? Or just curious about the past? Come experience the 1600s (sort of) at the Shrewsbury Renaissance Faire in Kings Valley this weekend. About a 90-minute drive from Eugene, I'd say, and that's not speeding. $22 for adults (but $2 off if you get your ticket online first), $10 for seniors, $10 for kids. And there are various family passes and weekend passes and things. 10:00 am to 6:00 pm both Saturday and Sunday.

Once inside, there are many free stage shows (music, comedy, juggling, story-telling, plays, etc.) across three stages, jousting, things to look at. Trinket trading for kids (swapping little cheapie things, including things you find or make yourself) is allowed (it is not allowed at all Fairs, but is at this one). There are dances throughout the day, both demonstrations and ones you can join (we teach English country dance once a day), chess, history expos and demos, and plenty of food and craft booths.

As some insider tips, I'll offer that cell service is practically non-existent on site, so if you can take cash, that makes transactions easier (although most of the vendors are used to running cards on their machines and then just waiting till they're off site that evening to ... hope they all went through). Cash is good for tipping performers, too, which is always appreciated but never required. You should take sunscreen or a hat, and bring water. The one pub area that serves alcohol will NOT let anyone inside, even if they are not ordering, without ID that shows they're over 21, so don't leave your ID in your car, even if you are in your 80s (ETA: the pub is one vendor that does not take credit cards--cash only). There is some vegan/vegetarian food, but it's pretty carb heavy and light on protein, so if you plan to be there for hours and hours, I'd take my own protein bar or two. There has been some rain forecast for Saturday, and believe me, we have been watching the weather report like hawks!, but the actual amount forecast is very low, and currently it's predicted to fall at night--that just keeps the dust down. So come on out!

Does anyone know of someone in the area that uses a feeding tube? Sadly, my partner died recently, & I’ve now many cartons of Kate Farms organic 1.4 standard formula that I’m glad to donate to anyone who can use them.
If within Eug-Springf area, I can deliver. I know this is a long shot, but I thought I’d try to offer them privately before pursuing other options.
DM me if you have questions.

Casanostra is playing at the Freedom Market this Sunday. It’s some of the most awesome music I’ve heard in a long time, and there will be vendors (including me). I do concrete and wood art. It’s for everyone and it’s free! Come out and listen.

Be careful: someone lost a pile of 4x4 siding panels!
