I live by Victor23, a DB Cooper themed brewery, and their “DB Hooper IPA” is BACK this week. Got a sneak peek can tonight 🤫
Pouring one out (in my mouth) to celebrate Dalano Banton.
Feels like a confluence of maybe my whole personality, haha: Blazers, beer, niche conspiracy theories. Feeling seen.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Every time a finals announcer says “TJ McConnell!” I have to do an auditory double take. My core, even after all these years, is trained to hear CJ McCollum #ripcity

My shrine has been disassembled for almost a year, but it was pretty hefty. Part jokey, part absolutely dead serious…I loved my little altar.

Aris got me a special bottle for Christmas, but instead of drinking it with brunch that day (per family tradition), I said I wanted to save it for a special day. Without getting into it too soon, that time is now.

Okay, it’s trite, but did Shaedon aggressively wax his eyebrows?! They looked so thin and maintained on camera a moment ago. I got a full body shiver (BAD)

I used to scream “Fake fans!!” at these fools. But at some point, (maybe 6-8 seasons back? )there became so many that I couldn’t keep up and was bothering everyone else around me too much, haha.
if you leave moda before the game’s over, you are:
- a loser
- not a real fan
- not my friend

If you've been to a home game recently you've likely noticed that it is season ticket renewal and deposit season. If you are considering renewing your existing season tickets or are interested in becoming a new season ticket holder... you should join us on the Third Bench!

While I haven’t landed a job yet, officially, I did make a sweet little “Jobseeking Playlist” that I’m proud of, so that has to count for something?! 🤷♀️

Teachers get a lot of Starbucks gift cards throughout their career. I don’t drink coffee but could use the meals. When I left the job this summer I consolidated all my cards into 1: $290-ish! Just tried to use my credits at the airport and my account has been inexplicably closed. Fun.

Tomorrow is the next Teachers In Transition, a networking event for educators past and present navigating a career shift. It's free, casual, and a great way to put yourself out there.
Join me tomorrow 6-8pm at Steeplejack in NE Portland. And check out my haircut evolution from my years in ed! 😬

Trying to muster cheer - it’s husband’s birthday - while living with the soul-shattering weight of unemployment and the crumble of democracy is, well, tough. 🤦♀️
