Their shared gaze is so soft. This is lovely!

And then off to bed with your beautiful self! Sleep is like a Siren song- best enjoyed while completely giving in to its power.

Repairing the cracks
making history a visible
part of the process
an opportunity to find
the fine gold lining
holding it all together

There is still value
in a kintsugi heart

YES!

Full-loaf love.
No breadcrumbs.

Now that I know
being flexible is received
as pathetic
being vulnerable is received
as insecurity
being excited is received
as desperate
being kind is received
as easy
I know not to be

I dig it! Needle and thread. Bits and bobs. Very similar vibe!

I'm not much of a gin person, but also haven't done a lot of exploring in that arena. I just spent the first part of my childhood in a neighborhood where that was playing on repeat every summer.

In all seriousness? My favorite pairing is "bits & bobs." I've always loved that phrase and use it frequently. I like the feeling of the words.

Really? No one has said Gin & Juice, yet? smh 😂

Yes!

Have you ever had the pleasure of making out with a pore-less woman as she runs her seven-fingered Slender Man hands through your hair?

Yeah, well... me neither. We don't know what we're missing.

Why do you silence him? What are you afraid of?!

I have totally done this in the past. Sometimes you just want *a* slice of cheese or turkey.

For turkey slice-related emergencies?

The skyline is everything - both what you post and those you see.

imperious green frog fired from a kiln but given employment as the guard of the tip jar at the powell's hawthorne cafe, wearing a blue wizard's hat with gold star gifted tol froggo by the unicorn.

a rusty unicorn's halo has been set into a plank of wood to make a basketball hoop halfway up a tree. unicorn halos grow too large for the unicorn to keep rotating and glowing above their heads and eventually they shed them in cascades of light and such velocity that decapitations have occurred. a loud boom may accompany this act. in the aftermath, when herds of unicorns late at night on portland streets divest their halos at the same time, children in the morning will often collect them for luck, but this is only superstition.

a pavement stone circle with moss cracks, amid a wider pavement of longer stones. this is one of portland's seven subtle commemorative memorials to the seven unicorn herd halo catastrophe of 1965, which occurred at midnight on october 31 and was much misunderstood amid the general reverie, especially as the southeast had chosen a unicorn theme for costumes that year.

Portland's unicorn festival is in full swing this week and if you're lucky you'll find one in your neighborhoof. just to be clear, they are more like grumpy narwhals and will joust with you for a skewering if riled, so approach gently and with kind words. for a mane petting they will side eye you but also divulge the location of a local coffee and pastry soakeasy (so named because there is usually also an underground hot springs spa). pictured: paunchy gray unicorn on edge of field with woman crouched in backdrop. photo by louis "black moon" malle.

Around Portland... these may seem drab photos, but i have collected their unique history in the alt text.

There appears to be an issue with scam calls to the families of people kidnapped by ICE. The callers claim to be immigration lawyers, say that they’re going to help, and demand an up-front payment over WhatsApp or similar.

Real lawyers don’t do that!

If it's not a date and you vehemently do not want to run the risk of someone thinking that you are dating in some capacity, don't call your meetups "dates". 🌈📖

Exactly. The goal is equity. Accommodations offer us what we need to show up as best we can for ourselves and others, in addition to providing space for us to have and hold boundaries.

Oof! Yes. It really, really is and I'm so sorry if you're going through that. The whole process is just diabolical. That's a great word for it.
