Oh no I have opinions about Star Wars again.

The vibes of this trailer didn’t work for me but the Tony Gilroy corner of the galaxy is still my favorite.

I’m not opposed to pop music + Star Wars, but the tone of this really didn’t work for me.

Referred to the late 90s as ‘the golden age of smoothies’ this morning and I will die on this hill.

The fans can be besties (and totally are) but the teams shouldn’t be. This is exactly how I want my coach thinking 👏

But I’m so tired.

So we’re doing this again huh 😆

My deeply unscientific definition of ‘xennial’ is someone who was old enough to own the Reality Bites soundtrack but too young for any of the movies’ themes to actually be relevant.

On a road trip with my husband…

H: What’s in North Bend?

Me: The gas station where Sandra Bullock got abducted in The Vanishing.

H: I meant like a Starbucks.

I keep trying to come up with which scenario would be ‘best’ and…

Does BlueSky have sports skeets because I need people who also care about Dame asking for a trade. 😭

Today in dumb anxiety stories: Seriously considering learning how to do my own hair so I don’t have to text message the woman who used to do my hair before covid. 🙃

My 70-year-old mom is using the melty face emoji properly in text messages and I’ve never been so proud.

A large white dog is sleeping on the back of a couch. Her paw is extended done to lay on the back of a large black dog who is asleep on the couch cushions. It looks very comforting.

Opal and Murphy at rest.

Nooo. 🙏

I did okay at the pool but this helps explain the mystery of how I seriously burned one tiny patch of skin at a soccer tournament a few weeks ago because I neglected to put sunscreen on immediately after getting there. 🙃

ODOT pumps brakes on 2 major freeway projects amid budget crisis, tolling pause The agency must delay or pare down projects on I-5 and I-205.

Big Oregon freeway projects, including one already underway, could be delayed or postponed because of a growing budget crisis at the state transportation department. Jayati Ramakrishnan reports:

Wait, are we all posting photos of our dogs for reasons, or just because dogs are awesome?

Doug, a stuffed animal beaver, is the Here is Oregon mascot. He's not sure who this other Doug is, but he's always up for learning something new. In this photo, Doug the beaver stands on the Hawthorne Bridge in downtown Portland, the city skyline is visible in the background. He is waving with one (stuffed) hand.

Did somebody say something about Doug?

I feel seen. Among the things I thought I didn’t like until I learned to cook myself: pizza, spaghetti, chili and chicken noodle soup 😬

Gotta go google some meds real fast while I sit by the pool. 😬

Came here to say peanut butter cups. Also if you want to get fancy,
Nutella and jam on the cracker + toasted marshmallow.

I picked one where I just really liked the background but the insecurity is real. 🙏

A small child in a stroller is covered in a large blanket and a large fuzzy sleeping mask. Only the top of their head and a bit of hair is visible.

You know how your phone does those automatic ‘on this day’ memories? I have no idea what was happening here. 😆

Give my colleagues a follow if you’re interested in local news. They’re great. ❤️

Giant Pacific octopus spotted at Yaquina Head tide pools in Oregon And while the species name might be 'Giant Pacific,' this one happens to be on the small side.

A giant Pacific octopus, the largest and longest living octopi species in the world, was rescued near Haystack Rock earlier this month after struggling in the waves and rocky areas along the beach.

Not so much me but that sunset 😍

The best.
