At streetcar they run these old Czech streetcars and everything is in English and Czech, so a running joke is doing that for things that aren't related to the streetcar itself

Drove across this cool old bridge again where I couldn't stop last time but this time had no kids in the car so I had to stop and walk back up and get that view of Mt. Hood. I was wondering why there were so many graffitis saying to go back or reconsider and it was because a trans person had jumped here a month earlier.
Even places like Seattle and Portland aren't exactly safe for trans people, just less unsafe. This is supposed to be a free country. We need to do better.
