Juniper MacAoidh

Juniper wearing a grey bandana and a black long sleeve shirt and standing in a backstage area. She holds two lighting gels up in front of her face, tinting it a brilliant bright pink.

Happy #InternationalWomensDay but especially to the butches and dykes because I am problematic and I do have faves.

For homeless teens, help arrives in a refurbished Sprinter van A new mental health support service called T.H.E. Van launched in Eugene, and it's on wheels — which helps it get to where the young people are.

Juniper stands behind her vending setup. She is a Celtic mutt with dark brown curly hair and a smattering of arm tattoos. She wears a black N95c silver jewelry, a black shirt with a screen print of the three arrows, and a blue and red tartan kilt-style skirt with a leather trans flag keychain off one of the belt loops. Her vending table is very bright and colorful, with displays of stickers, patches, embroideries and prints.

Yesterday’s Solidarity Pop-Up was a success! Grateful for Whiteaker Community Market for organizing, The Hybrid for hosting, and Equiano for the much needed caffeination.

I sold three tatreez patches for $35, and all of that is going to my friend Dua’a in Gaza!

White text reads “bigbadtrouble March 2026 Shop Schedule. Mar 1, Solidarity Pop-Up, The Hybrid, Eugene. Mar 6, First Friday ArtWalk, Farmers Market Pavilion, Eugene.

Happy March! WOW does the time fly. Hope to see you out and about on my three vending dates, and look forward to a shop drop of pins, patches and embroideries this month too. :)

A pic of Juniper standing in front of her vending set-up, in front of a big glass rolling door downtown. She has short curly hair and puts one hand in her pocket. She’s wearing a black N95, a green buttoned shirt with black question marks all over it (and only buttoned at the top to expose her belly), a large chain collar, a black wrap skirt, and black platform loafers with tassels.

A photo of Juniper’s single table vending setup. There’s a wooden spinning display of stickers, rows of cross stitch patches, a price menu, embroideries of Celtic motifs, square art prints, tatreez patches for Dua’a, and an acrylic display of vintage repro Pride pins.

Had a blast at Queer Skate last night! Hoping to return for the next one in April. :)

Snagged this beaut of a desk off Facebook Marketplace from a woman who got it in her college days. Her mother stained the wood. I’m so grateful to be the new steward for this piece of art! The rolling top still moves like butter. 🥰

A photo of Juniper’s wooden roll-top desk on brown carpet and against a wood paneled wall. The top has some decor alongside a white printer, the desk top has a childhood plush dog and various textile supplies scattered about, and there are bins of various supplies on the floor to the right of the desk.

Pardon my dust… ✨ Me and my wife have recently moved! Here is my new desk set-up, which is mostly unpacked at this point. I look forward to the stage of moving in where we get to unbox all our wall art, and I can hang things above my workspace again. :)

A rainbow themed flyer with a photo of DJ Cumulus spinning beats at the bottom. Text reads: “Queer Skate Night: Pop-Up Roller Rink and Shoe Dance Party.

SO excited to return to vending after taking some time off, and it’s Queer Skate to boot! Last time was such a blast and I thank Eugene Roller Village for havin’ me. 🛼🪩🎶

13 vintage repro Pride pins jumbled together in a little pile.

Hope you like new pin designs because I’m gearing up to drop a LOT of them…

A digital drawing over a photo of warm lights on a river bridge at night. A ring of Celtic knots surround two swans with intertwined necks, shining amber and orange. A lavender spiral emerges from the center of the background and circles outward to the edges.

Sometimes you walk by the river on a foggy night and it wraps you in a spell, putting you in a trance and offering protection from passersby.

The other two thirds of Urinetown’s lighting crew, Pippa and Thatcher, sitting at the light board and looking out at the stage before opening night.

Juniper up in the booth, just a small mask-wearing dot, as seen from a photo taken in the audience by her wife and friend.

This was a big job to take on as my re-introduction to theatre after nearly a decade apart from the industry, but I’m so happy to be back! Now for the treacherous task of figuring out how to balance this with the rest of my life!

A closeup of what appears to be an old-school ghost light, tucked away in a storage area. It’s a single bulb on a metal rod, with a metal cage around the bulb. Its purpose is to be left on when the theatre is empty, to appease the spirits of the building and to protect shows from curses. Nowadays, a lot of theatres now have a single LED light above the stage to serve this purpose.

A very messy gel storage area. The gels are organized in paper files and stick out haphazardly, with a pile of loose gels in front of the crates.

This show was so rewarding to see come together in such a short period of time. I’m so grateful for the entire cast and crew, and of course, everybody who came out to see it! I wasn’t familiar with Urinetown before I stepped into the production, and quickly fell in love with it.

A wide angle picture taken from the tech booth and looking towards a stage with an unfinished set on it. The theatre has a rounded wooden ceiling, as it was once a barn. The light board and its monitor are centered in the photo, with lots of sliders for each lighting circuit. Below are notes, a computer mouse, and a large drawing of where each numbered circuit is above the audience and the stage.

Juniper holds up a gel, a semi-transparent colored plastic sheet that gets slotted into theatre lights to add your color of choice. This blue gel has various sizes and shapes of holes cut in it, in hopes of mimicking another effect.

Theatre Appreciation Post! Icymi, I spent the better part of January as part of the lighting team for VLT’s production of Urinetown. I hung lights, helped design the color schemes and cues used in the show, took lots of notes, and dabbled in light board operation!

Behind the Bastards did a great series on Portland Police Bureau and their “union”, which became a blueprint for many other police departments! They shouldn’t be allowed to call themselves unions.

You may have noticed I haven’t posted a vending schedule for January… and that’s because I’m taking this month OFF to focus on my growing pile of backend biz things I need to attend to! 😮‍💨♥️

A grid of 9 photos, with a selfie of Juniper wearing a maroon sweater and a black N95 in the center, and a photo of an evergreen tree behind the grid. Juniper is surrounded clockwise by a colorful carpet-inspired cross-stitch, a shiny glitchy Celtic knot sticker, a digital drawing of Heceta Head Lighthouse, an embroidery of a doubly spiral against a multicolored checkerboard fabric, a cross-stitch patch that says “dyke” in bright orange thread against a forest green aida cloth, a digital drawing of a purple Celtic knot surrounding an orange triquetra, a cross-stitch patch of a lesbian flag on light blue aida cloth, and an elaborate abstract fabric collage depicting Juniper’s walking path from home to the river.

I love these #MeVsMyArt posts, so I made my own using work I did in 2025!

This year I hope to find a regular job, but my goal is to find something part-time that will still give me availability to vend and keep my tiny biz going online! Here’s to many more years of BIGBADTROUBLE. 🥰

YouTube video by Pete Rondeau Setting Up the KMG Fireball / Afterburner Ride

YouTube served me up a video from this creator where he went over the trailer-to-functioning-ride setup of a mobile Gravitron ride. He's got a variety of 'em on this channel, well-narrated and a fascinating look into what's involved with these machines.

Real good brain candy!
