Blue Star Portland tiny bathhouse will be closing by end of summer 2025. You can still snag spots! Link in bio.
I will continue to post if spots open up.
Letting go of this project is bittersweet.
I thank all yall from the bottom of my heart for the love, encouragement, solidarity & sweet cool vibes. Yall really are beautiful souls.
I’ve felt like one of the luckiest humans in the world getting so much support for…
slingin baths.
It’s all yall that have made the past 6 years running the bathhouse practically perfect in every way.
Portland Bathhouses!
Tag them in the comments!
I promise to post & send out notifications about any new ones.
I know several comrades who are interested and I’m happy to advise anyone thinking about it. DM me.
I’ll continue to use my platform to advocate for Land Back(reindigenization),
a free Palestine, abolition, community solidarity and free commons.
Also F**K all supremacy… f**k imperialism, f**k colonialism, f**k patriarchy, f**k capitalism and f**k fascism.
But Jesse!?!!
I know the bathhouse has been a special place for my comrades.
I’m a very private person but I feel like some of yall would like a few more details.
I’m a renter. I built out the bathhouse in 2018 knowing I could receive a 90 day notice to vacate at any time. I built it to be removed and reused. I planned to move to a new location in the Portland area at some point.
Skip to 2021 when I found my dream lover Alex & my best bubbas Mulligan. We looked for places to settle together all over the PNW but in the end we have got the amazing opportunity to immigrate to Hawai’i and join the ground fight for Pele’s sovereignty.
I’ve kept the bathhouse going while traveling back and forth for over a year. As you can imagine, it’s not sustainable and my maxed out credit cards are proof.
So the time has come to say goodbye to so-called Portland, reunite with my family and start a new adventure. I hope to have a going away party in September.
Much love & solidarity, Jesse & family (Alex, Mulligan, Honey, Yin & Seven)
