Xavier Salazar
Software engineer in PDX, trying to figure out how to get there by bike
- How it must feel to find a random $106 million on the ground at the housing bureau
- When it feels like no one’s got me (there’s a freight train blocking SE 12th), I know the broken Bob Stacey Overcrossing elevator’s got me
- Baggu x @trimet.org collab incoming
- Couple goals
- I don’t care what that fucking mouse says, you should not be signing up for a credit card while standing next to a roller coaster called “Slinky Dog Dash”
- January: 121 bike miles over 21 days. I was out of town for 10 days, so not too bad 🧵 1/12
- Contact cross-country skiing and then maybe I’ll watch it
- Portland’s east waterfront after we demolish I5 next year
- They don’t make dental floss like they used to anymore
- Bikeable Portland
- Just witnessed this old guy sitting in front of me on the plane watch (and rewatch) a Snapchat reel(??) of some questionably young woman wiggling her bare toes in the lap of someone under a restaurant table, before getting a LinkedIn notification that he switched to
- Going outside and telling the utility workers that the electrical pole they just replaced was a favorite among the local woodpeckers
- Employer took out local Metro/Mult taxes in 2023. Stopped unexpectedly in 2024, and I didn't notice. Didn't know or understand the process for quarterly estimated payments, and I get fined over it. Paid an accountant to help me sort it out. It's 2026, and I receive a refund for overpayment

- Pretty bold move to release a persistent “what’s up?” at the top of my @bsky.app screen, today of all days
- Just walked in on @lanatheflier.bsky.social playing Fallout 4, and she said she was busy building single-stair apartments for her settlement with on-site bike parking What level of urbanism is this
- “It’s just a marketing issue,” I say to myself as I almost get hit by a driver rolling a stop sign, on a neighborhood greenway with little more than faded paint on the ground, in the most asinine route across town I’m cobbling together on the fly
- Front door bike parking at @cstpdx.bsky.social tonight to watch Twilight. I’ve worked hard to get to where I am today
- Has anyone successfully just given up on having a phone number entirely
