This really is the “does anything fucking matter?” election. -
The neighborhood is whining with leaf blowers. I hate it.@andycarolan @anniegreens The biggest issue for me is that I live across the street from a self-storage place, so the entire block is a cement wall, and they have two guys every week cone through. Again, I appreciate the wet leaves being gone but I get pummeled by the full sound because of the wall.

The neighborhood is whining with leaf blowers. I hate it.@andycarolan @anniegreens The only fair usage, to me, is to get wet leaves off the sidewalk, which with my dyspraxia is helpful lest I wipe out. But that’s always in general tension with my autistic sensory processing disorder. Portland bans gas-powered ones in a couple of years so that will help. I also have neighbors who use them purely to blow dirt off their driveways and just please no, stop.

Inspired by @bw's "HTML for People", I'm putting together a short list of resources for making and keeping the web free, open, and poetic.
