I swear your paintings make my cortisol go down 💕

That’s a great palette!

Shut up! I’m on a roll! 😘

Orange?

Yesss!

Purple?

Natural talent is nothing compared to the ability to keep making shit long after everyone else has given up

What kind of mask are you using?

I get what my insurance gives me, so I’m no help there.

It really helped me to keep chanting ‘it’s helping, not hurting’ to myself until I got used to it. Everyone is different. I thought of it like super comfortable scuba gear. Don’t forget that you can cover your whole head when you’re cold.

I’m so happy for you! Mental health is so important, especially now. I was hoping you were going to say Kaiser. Terrified of losing my therapist.

Wait- what insurance do you have?

I’m glad it’s over, rest up.

A good ol’ PNW atmospheric river storm means that the helicopters won’t be used to drive Portland insane for the next two days. Enjoy the quiet and get your batteries and candles ready, we’re pretty much guaranteed to lose power.

Booo I’m sorry

Have you gotten your CPAP machine yet?

Thank you! That is really helpful

How do you do it? I’m still struggling getting enough.

They’re all over the place in SE. it’s lovely!

High-5!

Dear fellow Portlanders,

We use kazoos, not violence. Please learn the circus songs.

I love mine. When it’s really cold I can completely cover my head and still breathe.

Boxing with a tummy full of shawarma is just as gross as it sounds. Excuse me, *hork*

It took me a year to not smell cigarette smoke. It was overwhelming and persistent. It even made my nose burn.

It’s like a superpower.

Thank you. I saw the headline 20 minutes ago but skipped on by it. If something were to be a big deal, I’d hear it from Phil or Hank.

I don’t consider any of my work horny, I know I’m still an artist. What a terrible take.
