"Greg didn't understand that when I sleep on a bed I call it a 'sled', because it's a 'bed' that I 'sleep' in, therefore it's called a 'sled'. Greg is such a portmantard.

Portland, Oregon has a mix of German, Irish, Indigenous, and LGBTQ+ cultures, and accordingly values sincerity, thoughtfulness, individuality, greenery, craft beer, alternative music, alternatives to the British colonial styles of medicine and schooling, artistic expression, and mutual aid.
Portlanders commonly challenge one another to be their best selves. However, due to white dominance, cultural differences may be construed as defects of character. Many Black, Indigenous, and people of color cope with the resultant stress by describing themselves as “lightskin,” white, or “white-passing,” but this tends to worsen their isolation.
Portland’s housing prices have risen sharply in recent decades, and many longtime residents blame this on an influx of migrants from larger cities in search of a more wholesome and easygoing life. As a city which values small, local business, economic opportunities have not kept pace with population growth, with the result that the city’s artists and artisans increasingly struggle to sustain the creative culture for which the city became known.

Get the Natalie Portmaning mug.A slogan that Portlanders say because Portland Oregon is "weird" because it's very progressive, has a lot of hippies, is a place where most people are very chill, free, and accepting, and has a lot of cultural things like a lot of people who ride bikes instead of driving, get tattoos, the art focused culture, events like The Naked Bike Ride, The Naked Goddess Swim, etc.
Portlanders kind of feel like Portland is slowly becoming not as good as it was before and kind of becoming just like other big cites because of things like so many outsiders moving there and becoming sort of an exploited tourist attraction because outsiders think it's so qUirKy and wEiRd, housing prices rising, gentrification, and construction of a bunch of weird giant condo buildings that everybody hates and thinks are stupid.
Portlanders tend to hate these changes a lot and wanna keep Portland the way it is because the people and the culture that makes outsiders see it as "weird" is what makes Portland the way it is and why so many people love the city so much.
