Meet Kami Horton

She's been with OPB for 20+ years and has produced for OPB's series "Oregon Experience" since 2006. She finds meaning in researching and telling the often overlooked stories of our state. Kami says "I love what I do, and I know that is true of many of OPB's dedicated employees."

mfs be like "you can't be purity testing we need a big tent" and the "purity test" is minorities objecting people who are trying to toss them out of the tent
I love Ronnie Laws' "Always There" but what the fuck is up with that bridge?
As I watch this traffic while I grab a slice of pizza before a Saturday shift at work I decided to grab, I realize I'll have to change my commute route today.
Yeah... But the *cost*?! As my grandfather used to say, "I can count better than that!" That's not $100 worth of aesthetic.

Tuesday, we attended the OPB Board of Directors meeting in solidarity.

We sent a letter to the board asking them to invest in us, the creators of the content our communities rely on. We haven't received a response. Read the letter here.

We are determined to get the contract we deserve!
I love the life I'm making here in Portland. I want to afford to live here and build this career.

Saw Ches Smith perform last night with Liberty Ellman, Mary Halvorson, and Nick Dunston. Totally worth it!
I just knew I'd have to change my commute route to work this morning due to a blockade in front of the ICE building right next to the entrance to the bike path, but that's life in these semi-unprecedented times.
Don't know. Someone made a bootleg one, but it's not us.
I'm bad at keeping up with it, but the official KMHD BlueSky account is actually @kmhd.org
Bearbottom has become the vast majority of all my shorts, though their corduroy is leaving something to be desired. Everything else I vouch for (even if this could result in us wearing the same shorts in public somewhere).
It's kinda crazy how much I consider Portland home whenever I'm away from it.
The immense feeling of satisfaction of bringing the exact right amount of weed for a weekend trip
If you don't think I'm listening to my own radio show on this airplane wifi, you don't know my ego well enough.

I am mostly trying to stay off social media on Sundays now but I did just see an Instagram post saying “the only thing that’s scary about Portland is how they pronounce Couch Street” and it made me die laughing so if you’ve ever lived here that’s for you

okay bye again love you
Based on how my Sunday calls with my mom has been since her visit in July, Carmichael's upcoming hour is hitting me harder and harder the more I think about it. I'm going to need him to come back to Portland again when it's closer to done, and it's already resonating with me.
That said, I'm glad my ability to memorize and predict my friends' schedules and habits has persisted in a new city as it had in San Antonio, because I definitely ran into them at the bar guessing with a great deal of certainty they'd be there.
I love P.T. Anderson, but even after a good talk with @dnvrnuggets.bsky.social & @mandelaeffect.bsky.social, I'm still sorting out my thoughts and feelings about 'One Battle After Another'.
Jerrod Carmichael is already well on his way to a great new hour, y'all.
