This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Turns out the biggest donation of toys to Doernbecher Children’s Hospital each year doesn’t come from the drop box in the lobby of your dentist’s office. It doesn’t come from the toy drive at your veterinarian, your kid’s school, or a local broadcast news station. Nope—it comes from strippers. 

Portland strippers have donated $183,000 worth of toys over the past 14 years to Doernbecher as the result of an annual event called Tatas for Toys.

Portland has been the first city I've really felt proud to live in. My partner has dropped the hint about moving abroad but for the first time in my life I feel firmly attached to a municipal community.
