Been loving watching the Tour de France this year, and super hyped for the TDF Femmes to kick off next week! Even though I’d probably die trying to make it up the alpe d’huez, the views alone might make it worth it. This was a fun little combo of AE and Blender. #tourdefrance #tourdefrancefemmes

I got my first tattoo ten years ago by @nataliehall.bsky.social ! Unfortunately the only photo I had from it back then was this super super fresh one. Still one of my most complimented and favorite pieces I’ve ever gotten!

Trump announced that he’s directing federal troops to Portland. Portlanders look after each other, and that’s how we’re going to overcome these threats.🧵 ✅Report suspected federal agent sightings to PIRC’s hotline (1-888-622-1510) instead of spreading rumors on social media.

I guess from his POV, Portland really is hell: -Very few McDonalds -Extremely bike/transit friendly -Queer people experiencing joy everywhere you look -City council stacked with really cool socialists. BUT, what if we told him that we also have: -golf courses -white people

Southern WA is such a strange place. You will find the crunchiest granola hippies, extreme maga fascists, and people who are weirdly both? Like how do you love both your prius AND assault rifles? Just pick a lane man.

About a month ago I stumbled into Coyote-palooza, a big educational celebration of one of our most misunderstood neighbors. Its great to see orgs like the Portland Urban Coyote Project informing the public on the best ways to coexist with these guys!

Going to start a thread to document our kitchen reno process! We are working with a general contractor who is doing all the work since this feels too major to try and DIY with my limited skills. Here is where we started, a 90’s reno from hell in our 1967 midcentury ranch:

Photo of an ugly empty kitchen with 90’s honey oak beveled cabinets, an insane blue laminate countertop, and 30 year old appliances. There is also a hideous ceiling fan I have never once needed to use
