And tbh, the hype to watch it has kimda died down for me, ive got a new hyperfixation, so i told him i didnt really want to watch it anymore.
While its not a lie, i also only have $4.36 to my name, so…
It’s really interesting watching non-black people slip into a blaccent when they’re cursing someone out or just being aggressive in general but when they’re issuing an apology or whatever, they slip right back into the Queens English.
That cat became an icon THIS MONTH AND IS STILL ONE.
that’s Jo-Pawveski, a stray who wandered onto the ice and past the nashville predators bench during round 2 of playoffs. They eventually picked her up and sent her to the humane society.
Here she is.
The SAN JOSE SHARKS won that game and attributed it to her, naming her after the Sharks captain: Joe Pavelski. When they found out she was a girl, they changed her name to Jo instead of Joe.
She became an instant good luck charm after that as the Sharks won every game at home that series and moved onto round three.
Since then, every game, they stack pucks and stick a idol to Jo for luck.
This little cat has had merchendise made out of her. She’s literally almost replaced SJ sharkie as maschot of the team.
I mean. I’m not making this up. I HAVE A RALLY TOWEL OF HER THEY GAVE OUT FOR GAME 1 OF THE 3RD ROUND. I OWN THIS FUCKING THING:
FURRIES HAVE BEEN SHOWING UP DRESS AS HER.
She had her own livestream to check in on her.
SHE’S IN THE PREGAME OPENING ANIMATION
And so I know what you’re gonna say here.
Well… what happened to Jo, though.
Good news, This week, as Sharks made their first Stanley Cup, Jo and another Kitty were adopted.
And that kids, is the story of JO PAWVELSKI.
The stray black cat of the San Jose Sharks.
I’m beaming with shark pride and I ain’t even that big into hockey
Do not Drink and drive. But I think it’s funny. Can you even imagine coming out and seeing your car like that. Glad my car and blog were spared at least for now. lol
Landlords are notoriously good at screening their tenants. They’ve got money and background checks at their disposal. Renters? Not so much. But the good news is you can research your landlord, and you should.
Who owns the property?
Sometimes it’s not entirely clear who the landlord is. Sometimes the person picking up the check or coming over to fix things will claim to not be the landlord, only to avoid unfavorable personal interactions. Landlords will sometimes claim to be assistants, managers, or repairmen. Other times, landlords will refuse to reveal their identities, hiding behind LLCs. You have the power to find out. We’ve got some places for you to hone in on those investigative skills.
County Tax Assessors Office
Everyone’s got to pay taxes, right? Use this as a starting point. Try looking up the property address at the County Tax Assessor’s office. In Multnomah County, the number is 503.988.3326. You can also find addresses of other properties the landlord might own in the county. Call the State Corporate Division to find out who is involved in the ownership and what the business address is at 503.986.2200 or scope out their website.
Bureau of Development Services
You can write to the Bureau of Development Services in the City of Portland to find out if there have been code violations reported at the property. If your landlord has rented to you without repair the code violations, you may be entitled to certain damages. There is a $5 charge for this mail service. They will find the information and send it out to you within two business days. However, you can do this for free online. Go to portlandmaps.com, and you’ll be able to research code violations at the entered address by selecting the “permits/cases” button at the top of the screen. This will also show you the specific details of the complaint.
Check to see if your city offers a similar online or mailing service – you might be surprised.
State and County Court Records
Make use of your local and regional court record systems. You can get information on lawsuits involving the owner from County Court Records. In Multnomah County, the number is 503.988.3022. You can also get other legal information from the civil, district, and small claims court records. You can also look up the person’s statewide records through the Oregon Judicial Department Online Records Search.
Oregon Real Estate Agency
The Oregon Real Estate Agency licenses property managers and management companies in Oregon. People and companies that only manage properties (mot owners that manage their own property) need to be licensed. To qualify to be licensed, property managers must pass an exam that covers laws and administrative rules, and must satisfy continuing education requirements. You can contact them to find out a number of things!
Figure out if a property manager or management company is licensed by calling 503.378.4170, then pressing 4.
Investigate complaint histories against a licensed property manager or company by calling 503.378.4170, then pressing 2. Note: The agency handles complaints that deal with financial mismanagement only. They don’t deal with deposit return disputes, unless the dispute is over a “missing” deposit.
Neighborhood Associations
Odds are if there’s a group of people who care about a neighborhood and manage it, they’ll know who is doing business in the area. You can find out if you have a local neighborhood association and what their contact information is by calling the Office of Neighborhood Associations at 503.823.4519.
Other tenants
If you live in a building, talk to your neighbors. Figure out what they know. Make use of the information you can gather collectively. There are a number of private Facebook groups that allow for people to discuss or share landlord information. Message our page to get more information on who might be organizing near you.
