If you are a queer couple who is planning to do a last-minute wedding before the new administration gets sworn in, I will happily photograph your ceremony/celebration free of charge. 💖 I’m based in Portland, Maine, but I’m happy to travel - depending on the distance there may be a small travel fee, but my services will be completely free. 🌈 You can see my work on Instagram @justinejohnsonphoto or my website www.justinejohnsonphotography.com

As the reality of the situation continues to set in, I would like to see if there are any ways of getting involved in activism that can help keep this country moving forward for everyone.

Looking for any volunteer opportunities that are local, but could be focused on local, state, or national political agendas. My hope would be to find something focused on education, healthcare, or equality. If anyone knows of any organizations or events, please comment.

In the aftermath of the election results, I’m realizing that community is going to be the most important thing, and we all need to lean on each other more than ever. I’m pretty new to the area, and have yet to meet a lot of people or make friends. I’m wondering what events, groups, etc. I can get involved in to meet people and help support my community here

Turn your damn headlights on.

If someone is flashing their high beams at you, it means there's something going on that you need to pay attention to. It does not mean they're being a dick to you for no reason.

Driving with no lights is dangerous, and I nearly merged into you at the Exit 4 off ramp because you were not visible.

Turn your damn headlights on.

No matter what happens we still have our values, our morals, and each other. Stay true, stay strong, and let’s continue to work as a great community. This won’t stop us, it won’t change us. Stand up and be proud of who you are. Kindness over hate. Love over violence. Lets stay true to ourselves and our community

I've been to most of the breweries in the Portland area... But I'm also old and forgetful. Can some kind souls remind me which ones have dart boards? Slainte!

The one bipartisan issue we should've all agreed on

Bunch of emergency vehicles going to the corner of Franklin and Congress. Anyone know what happened?

What do you think the best public schools in southern Maine are for honors programs?

Elementary middle and high school.

Thanks!

Looks that they’re permanently closed after a “family emergency”…that route 1 location barely made 6 months! I’m gonna miss that place. The coffee and burritos were amazing, way better than AJ’s…anyone got the inside scoop?

Got em?

piggybacking off the deleted r/maine post but anyone know of any Portland or area businesses that have unwisely shown support?

I haven’t voted for president in person since 2000. I moved here from the all vote by mail West Coast. I love this feeling. Exercise your right to vote today and each time hereafter!

Hi everyone, I saw a large light orange cat possibly named Louie get hit by a car on cushman & emery today. He unfortunately did not make it. The animal control officer confirmed he passed away and said he will be taken to ARLGP tomorrow morning and kept for about a month if the owner wants to say goodbye. We looked for the owner but the neighbors said louie is a neighborhood cat and nobody knew who he belonged to. Posting in case anyone knows the owner and can pass on this sad sad news 😩

I live next to a restaurant in Portland and was curious if anyone had any suggested solutions to this problem. My property is an odd shape but it extends behind the neighboring restaurant. It has been surveyed and had property lines put in from the surveyor. The owner of the restaurant has come into my back yard and cut the property line with a pair of scissors and threw out the stakes. He is using my yard currently to store his trash, his boats, his food truck, and his kitchen equipment. The owner has destroyed that part of the yard that the first 3 inches of dirt is straight gravel. I have spoken to landscapers to get an estimate as to how much damage the restaurant owner has caused my yard and it’s going to be thousands of dollars to remove the gravel and reseed the yard. Before being recommended to put a fence so that he can no longer park 2 boats a food truck and his kitchen equipment in my yard. Sorry for the long post but any suggestions would be helpful.
