Good to know but it was a private business security camera I believe. Was mounted to the building, didn’t look like the flock camera. It was wild, it said, “you in the black shirt and blue jeans, this means you”

Around 10th and Salmon, not far from Hawthorn Asylum. Was crossing the street to get to an event and it started yelling at me. Didn’t touch the building, was only waiting at the corner for cars to cross. It was weirdly threatening

I was crossing the street in PDX when a camera on a building started blasting an alarm and warned me (mentioning what I was wearing which I assumed was AI) to back away. Like I was literally just walking down the street. What’s that all about.

Dana Piccoli has spent 15 years covering and amplifying issues that affect the LGBTQ+ community. Her work was recognized in 2023 with the Curve Foundation's Excellence in Lesbian Coverage award. A longtime NLGJA member, Dana has led the queer media collaborative News is Out since 2022, where she's worked on the LGBTQ+ Media Mapping Project, produced its companion podcast The Map of Us, and managed the Digital Equity Local Voices Lab and the Economic Opportunity Lab.

Dana believes in community over competition: the future of LGBTQ+ journalism depends on outlets working together rather than competing for ever shrinking resources. Her work centers on expanding access to trusted information, supporting local LGBTQ+ outlets, and building more sustainable models for local media.

Based in Vancouver, WA, Dana hopes to bring that same collaborative spirit to her work on the NLGJA board, where she's focused on supporting journalists at every stage of their careers.

If elected, Dana wants to help NLGJA better serve queer media specifically. It's an important but often under-resourced part of the organization, and she's focused on strengthening the relationship between NLGJA and the outlets and journalists doing that work.

I think it’s pretty clear the Blazers ownership doesn’t want to stay in Portland. These hearings have been unreal.

I thought of that right away too. He was so supportive in the film which at the time was a real change.

I understand. Perhaps it’s that you heard it from someone who cares, like you do.

I think the feelings of fandom are all too often dismissed. But a lot of people lost someone who represented support, kindness and for some, even a father figure. If you are devastated over the loss of Anthony Stewart Head, you are not alone.

The Girls Like Girls film comes out this June and it’s super important to support it in the theater if it plays near you. Same with Camp Miasma.

The obsession people who aren’t on GLP1s, have with GLP-1s, is pretty fascinating to me.

Like, where was this filmed? They are putting on Romeo and Juliet in what appears to be a Brutalism inspired theatre or perhaps the bottom of a swimming pool.

I thought you should know that at my niece’s wedding, her father/daughter dance was to Drowning Pool’s “Let the Bodies Hit the Floor”. It was perfect.

I went to Catholic school for 13 years. My grandmother had a picture of John Paul II in her kitchen. If I learned one thing in all those years, you don’t play about the Pope.

Talk therapy has tremendous implications. Conversion therapy isn’t just physically forcing someone to go to a conversion camp. If your goal is to convince someone to not be who they are, you are trying to convert them.
