@AncientFutureNow awesome! It's great to see local music on here!

@punkisundead absolutely opposed to it. From my experiences in the local activist scene which tends to emphasize left unity, it's especially shitty as an anarchist to be talked down because of my issues with tons of hierarchy and abuse in those orgs because "we've gotta have left unity". The only solution I can think of is to split off and commit to anarchist principles, knowing that it will alienate many.

@kescusay @AncientFutureNow I'm personally more annoyed about people (including on occasion the cops themselves) who drive and park right in the middle of the bike lane. Seems to mostly be a problem around Dave's Hot Chicken, likely because they have curbside pickup even though the building is surrounded by bike lanes so there's no real curb to speak of.

Either way, I'm not so sure that arresting people would be particularly helpful for either problem. There's got to be another way, somehow.

@kescusay perhaps then, a larger effort must be made to encourage people on the Eugene sub to migrate, either to Emerald Social (from where they can join) or to Lemmy

@bamfic i know, right?!

@kescusay aw man that really sucks. Let us know if there's anything we as a community can do to help :)

 

New Post on my Personal Website: Scoping out the Eugene-Springfield Fediverse

I recently wrote up a new post for my personal website about the Fediverse in relation to the Eugene-Springfield area, and figured I'd share it. Let me know what you think!

Tabletop Gaming Event here in Eugene!

So tomorrow (as of when I'm posting this) there's going to be a tabletop gaming and fantasy focused holiday market over at Funagain Games. Figured I'd bring it up here since I only found out about it when I saw a poster around town.

EDIT: It's from noon to 6 PM
EDIT 2: It already happened, so don't get your hopes up

@magnetmagician @eugene hmm that would make sense. I haven't taken a look up there recently so idk what it's like up there

 

Anyone know when the High Street Protected Bikeway might open?

I've been highly anticipating it ever since construction began, and it looks nearly finished to me. This would make so many trips much easier!

@AncientFutureNow I have no idea. It seems like it was a one-off event

Free Voice Training Workshop in Eugene! (us-southeast-1.linodeobjects.com)

Free Voice Training Workshop in Eugene!

Seems like it might be a good idea for any fellow trans people in #Eugene who are interested in voice training to attend.

@eugene

 

[META] Should we have a separate sister community for discussing the University of Oregon?

I kinda feel like the university is a bit different, and it would be a great way to get more people who might be involved in campus life onto the fediverse as well as being a good place to discuss campus-specific topics without clogging the Eugene community. I'd be down to make one myself for that if that would be of interest.

@bamfic I would argue instead that it really doesn't matter what people do. The decision to close the hospital has already been made and probably won't be reversed. Starting from the assumption that no action will do anything for this, why should it matter what people do regarding this, as long as it's not hurting anyone?

(Okay I'll get off my soapbox now lol)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

@kescusay that seems like a great idea. Maybe also converting all the ugly parking lots into new affordable and/or free housing would be good too, as unrealistic as that would be

 

Sad to hear that @doublesidedmedia is ending.

They were my favorite source of local news, especially since most local news outlets are just pushing copaganda all the time.

Is this your cat? Missing cat found at The Vintage Café

A five month old kitten was found at The Vintage Café, by 8th and Lincoln street. If you have any information about the cat's owner or are yourself the cat's owner, please contact Stefaney at (206) 960-3844. Figured it would be a good idea to post it here since getting the word out would likely make the search for the owner go faster ❤️

[Now Released] Here have a little preview of The Sun Gem

an upcoming choose your own adventure game I'm working on for the #Commodore64 as part of a game jam

Some things I learned when making this:

  1. It's better to make smaller games, as my last game was a more complex one that I couldn't finish
  2. Developing for a retro computer is easier when you don't use a game engine (luckily I don't really like working with game engines anyways)

Edit: I released the game! Check it out here!
