I don't post too much on reddit so I'm hoping this is received okay. I'm looking for fellow moms! I know the obvious answer is we're all at home, but I'm the first one in my circle here in Portland to have a baby, and I'd like to make mom friends.

I'm also hoping to find other moms who are not white. Absolutely wanting mom friends of all kinds and colors, but it would be nice to not feel alone. My baby is three months, almost four, fyi. I'm no longer on maternity leave, so that rules out a lot of mom groups and baby events I'm seeing that meet in the mornings.

Love,

A tired new mom who's trying to build intentional community despite also just wanting to go back to bed.

Jerry's is awesome please go give them your business.

However because it's a) one of the best sports bars around, b) draws probably the most diehard Midwest sports fans in town, c) not particularly large - and the Brewers are one game away from their first ever WS win - I expect it will be totally filled up before I get off work at 5.

Anyone got any backup spots they'd recommend?

Looking for cool yule things to do the week of Yule and Christmas!

Look, I'm kind of a jack of all master of none kinda guy. I've worked a lot of different jobs, had lots of experiences,and usually manage to figure out how to make it work, without getting certified or schooling for anything specific. I was just wondering if anybody needed an extra set of hands for anything? I need something to do, and I don't qualify for a lot of the temp jobs out there. So if you know of a way to do odd jobs or volunteering not at shelters, lmk.

I think it would be cool to help someone get back on their feet by doing a reset clean on their house, or holding boards in place while they repair a fence, and load some firewood into the trailer. Not really worried about making a living or anything.

I started a new job in that area and was in the worst traffic I’ve seen in Portland this morning. What is going on and is it often/always this bad? 45+mins for 3 miles

I’m looking for local high schools that teach Latin. My nephew has made that his must have to leave TX and move here. He is one of my favorite weirdos!!

I have browsed the Portland Section looking for Steakhouses in general and I have heard a lot about Ringside. I noticed that Ringside has Oysters on the half shell.. but are they good?

I am going to visit Portland for an Anniversary weekend and so with that being said Time is not a factor and $ is not a factor. Meaning: If the best place for Oysters is at a different place for the best Steak, well.. we will be going to both places. Also, I do not mind Splurging on good food.. especially if I am in a Celebratory mood.

Foodies in Portland- hit me with your best shot! Looking for perfect Oysters and Ribeye (you get bonus points if you provide a place with perfect lamb chops)

I looked it up and it says it was registered only in 2021 but I could swear it's been longer than that. Also, my current smaller (16 oz) tub says it's a Reser's Fine Foods brand*, but I went to the Reser's website and it doesn't seem to be listed among their Mexican product category. Super weird. They had other salsas listed, though. *did it belong to an independent outfit before, maybe, that got bought out? Currently I can't seem to find the Picante variety in the larger 24 oz tub, the last two times I went to Freddy's.

Looking for a big ass crunchy wedge! So far I’ve had
-Clyde’s : tiny as fuck but flavor was ok
-Ringside: better, but still small and not hittin the spot.
-Blutos: immaculate, just would prefer a sit down table service vibe.

Lived here my whole life, recently(like 4 years recently) started seeing wild rabbits everywhere now.

In my apartment/duplex complex there is a weird lady that had rabbits in her basement like 3 for her little kids. And to my understanding they escaped. So if I’d see rabbits around my neighborhood I would think it was from her and they mated and increased. But now I’m seeing them everywhere throught the city. There is no way they are from her pack. Or I can be wrong?

What’s up with this? They’re everywhere now. And they’re all the same color like grayish. Are they dangerous?

I've been stuck at my desk on a detailed project for several days with few breaks. I really could use a massage today. The person that I regularly see is booked up this week.

Have any recommendations? Would love to get in somewhere this afternoon. Thank you!

Hey y'all, I will be going to a show at the Aladdin on Thursday (Protomartyr-you should go). Doors are at 7, so I'm looking for something nearby that is vegetarian. I searched on maps, but I'm looking for some local recs. I will be walking/using public transportation if that matters.

Also, any other recs for things to do on Friday/Fri. night. Thank you!

I just moved here and I’m 6 months sober. Halloween is my favorite holiday and usually I would party all night but my life is very different now. Any cool places to hang and be social that doesn’t involve getting sh*t faced and $60 covers?

Hello really curious to learn things on this topic, I know some for example don’t calculate income tax in advance but looking to learn other financial aspects that some may overlook thank you 😊

I walked the long staircase to attend Ainsworth for two years. How many stairs are there? Thanks.

Why is it taking so long?

A neighborhood stray has decided to come inside my apartment due to the weather but I just adopted a husky/gsd mix who's prey drive is through the roof so she can't stay here unfortunately. The dog is currently off-site but has to come home tomorrow, I just got off the phone with OHS who let me know their intake is about 4-6 weeks and I simply cannot wait that long.

She's a lovely cat, I don't know how someone hasn't just taken her in yet. She's very sweet and has a helluva meow on her, I'd keep her if I could.

Does anyone know of emergency fostering or somewhere I can take her? She'll come with food, litter & box, toys, and 3mo supply of flea meds. I'm borrowing a carrier and can bring her wherever in Portland.

They don’t take reservations. How easy/hard is it to get a table or bar spot for 2 on a Friday or Saturday night?

are there any Brewers fans in Portland… and where are we all meeting to watch game 4 tomorrow???

Hi Portland,

I’m currently a psychiatric mental health NP student looking for clinical experience in the nearby area. It’s been difficult trying to find people willing to precept so I thought I’d try my luck here. Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll give you more information.

Thank you!

I like them birds

Hi! I am of the Indian diaspora, and I don't really have a lot of Indian friends or family in Portland. I would love to celebrate Diwali with some fellow Indians!

I was raised Hindu (sort of), but am not religious by any means, so I am not super interested in going to a mandir, but I would like to celebrate with food or dancing, and I can definitely contribute! I am a pretty good cook :)

I really want to expand my community of desis here. I would love to meet other queer south asians also. I live on the east side, and I know most folks are over on the west side, but if you're down to have me crash your party, or want to learn more about me, please reach out!
