Wish Iβd gotten better pictures, but I was so busy waving and building community! Everyone was so nice and just as thrilled as me to find support and sanity and GUTS out here. And waaaay fewer shouts/middle fingers/coal rollers than I expected. Excellent day all around!

For context, I live in the most conservative area of purple SW WA, in a city with βa bitβ of a Christian Nationalist issue. A couple weeks ago there was a CK vigil on this same corner (w/ fewer people, but whoβs counting)βas is their right, but they seem to forget that fact when itβs not them. π

A group of protesters on the corner of an intersection, waving signs and American flags. One person is dressed as a banana.
Another group of protesters on the opposite corner, also holding signs and American flags. Over here, one person was dressed as a purple unicorn.
Frog Army! Zoomed in photo of a protester in an inflatable frog costume across the street.
So proud of my conservative little hometown! About 500 people lined Main Street, with tons of supportive honking and waving from passing cars. I usually head down to Vancouver or PDX for rallies/protests, so I was a little concerned what might happen out hereβ¦gives me hope!

Looking out onto a quiet intersection in Portland from inside Case Study coffee shop.
A photo from across the street facing Powellβs Books in Portland. Sizzle Pie pizza place is right across the intersection.
A bowl of kitsunetoji udon at Koji Osakaya in Portland. Thick white noodles in broth topped with fried tofu, beaten egg, green onion, and a fish cake slice.
The corner entrance of H Mart Korean grocery store. The street is tree-lined and peaceful.

Three people in inflatable frog suits, standing outside the Portland ICE facility at night. Caption is Exodus 8:2-6, β"But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs...
The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."
Amen. πΈ

Clement the Tea Pet (a little clay monster-like creature with a greyish purple body and little beige horns) sitting in the crook of a maple tree branch.
Looking up at maple tree leaves: half are turning orange and red, half are still green.
Close up of a wild carrot flower cluster (tiny white flowers).
Close up of a maple leaf beginning to change color. The edges are bright red while the middle is still green.
Took Clement the Tea Pet (and my partner D, as well) out for a nice autumn walkβ¦ended up having a long chat w/ some neighbors weβve only greeted in passing and discovered weβre like-minded comrades. Community building FTW!

Brewing up some unsmoked Lapsang from @fridaytea.com, because I need some beauty and joy in the face of all the *incoherent omg-what-is-happening noises*

A cool bug on the side of my car, in shades of brown, tan and umber, kind of oval in shape with long antenna and legs, and a pretty mosaic-like pattern on its back.
(And the reason I missed tea festival, besides this cold, is because I had rehearsalβ¦where I made this little bug friend and then learned some facts about the Western Conifer Seed Bug.)

Sad to miss NW Tea Festival this weekend, but probably for the best since I have that Post-Cold Cough and I feel like a public menace. π
