Becky Hawkins

Not having Artax talk was one of the best calls in the history of page-to-screen adaptations.

My sympathies! I used to work in a children’s theater near a church. One churchgoer couldn’t understand why I didn’t let them use our ~25 spots “just for 2 hours on Sunday” (the hours between the crew’s call time and showtime). 🤪

Such a silly argument. I mean most spare bedrooms were never intended to be home offices but then Covid happened. Circumstances change, people and communities adapt, life goes on. There’s no reason to not rethink the design of even small neighborhoods to make them more accessible.

Some residential areas in PDX were “never intended for commercial activity.” They were built for rich white people who wanted to feel like they live on a mini country manor while still being able to get downtown by streetcar.

Those areas are barely 100 years old and weren’t the norm at the time!

A stop sign. Under the stop sign, another, red rectangular, sign is affixed. It says "Actually stop. Like, for real."

Someone in my neighborhood got FED. UP.

🔦 👀 I’m right there with you!

🤢 sometimes you eat a bunch of candy and open a chocolate milk stout and settle down for some reading and then find out this story has a post-societal-breakdown cholera subplot

Science has some answers about why we ❤️ biking!

Fall in love with biking this fall!

cartoon: Betty Boop as Maleficient

Cartoon: Still on my Boopshit. :) Enjoy!

The music cuts off awkwardly before the end, but this is an incredible NYC Halloween costume compilation.

😦

Becky is wearing a long purple sorceress type gown with snakelike gauze on the sleeves. She also has blue horns and appears to be doing a spell on a mixing bowl

Same costume and pose from closer up, and now you can see the bowl is full of Reese’s and Hershey fun size.

I hope we get a fourth Trick or Treater, cause I finally got my outfit on!

The rain-timing was rough here in Portland 🌧️

Steven Universe, in his iconic get-up of flip-flops, jeans, and red T-shirt with a yellow star, holds up his rose-quartz shield, a happily determined expression on his face.

The official designation of the attempted deployment of the National Guard to Portland, Oregon is "Task Force Rose Shield."

Y'all, Steven Universe would like a word?

Two Calvin and Hobbes panels. Panel 1: Dad is in the kitchen telling Calvin “Since your mom’s sick, I’ll be making dinner tonight.” Panel 2: Calvin looks nonplussed; Dad looks huffy. Calvin: YOU can cook? Dad: Of course I can cook.

I think of this every time I cook dinner instead of Naomi 😂
I swear I make a mean stir fry!

Does Cabaret have the BIGGEST gap between the gravity of the themes and the goofiness of the songs you’ll be humming for the next week?

Home Easy and delicious recipes designed for small budgets. Delicious chicken recipes, easy pasta recipes, cozy comfort foods, vegetarian recipes and more.

For anyone looking for ways to reduce meal costs, I cannot recommend the Budget Bytes app and website highly enough. Most of the meals work out to under $2/serving, there are vegan options, things that freeze well, etc.

The Moroccan Lentil Stew is my favorite.

😅 JUST caught that one in time!

👩🏻‍🎓 Copy-pasting the season information from old emails: Smart! Sensible! Saves time!

😱 Copy-pasting from that one email with the wrong concert date

If the baby takes “Shake it and break it” literally, the appeal will last at least through toddlerhood 😂

🚲 🥳 My office parking garage got a shiny new bike rack since the existing racks started filling up!

If they can’t find a live cartoonist in Multnomah County to do their artwork, I don’t trust ‘em

Lee Moyer Design & Illustration portfolio website Lee Moyer Design & Illustration is the leader in moment capturing

My beloved friend Lee--a stunning artist--is dealing with the aftermath of a severe injury that's going to leave him unable to draw for a long while. If you're in a position to buy a print or an original, now's a good time to do that--click through www.leemoyer.com to see what's available.

To be fair, most drivers think it’s a federal crime to force them to slow down
