My new favorite website: Is Portland Burning?

The answer is no (and you can check out the live cameras to see for yourself).

This is almost as good as "Is it snowing in Portland?" (Also no.)

Is Portland Burning?

No. See real-time Portland cameras, PulsePoint incidents, and sourced fact checks.

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.

I'm creating a photo poster for my sister's memorial later this week, and I hope attendees will appreciate the classic, childhood photos. 'Cause I can't find pictures of her that are less than twenty years old.

There's a lesson here--take regular photos, even if you don't feel photogenic.

The Knight Cancer Institute at OHSU is a great treatment center, and it's nice to see it get additional funding.

Phil and Penny Knight pledge $2 billion to OHSU to ‘revolutionize’ cancer care

The charitable donation, one of the largest in higher education and state history, will support cancer research.

I regularly receive (clearly scam) emails like that. They sometimes spoof the name of existing industry professionals, both on the lit and film adaptation side. It’s obnoxious.

It's launch day for Mayhem at a Halloween Wedding (out today from @kensingtonbooks.bsky.social!)

The book cover of Mayhem at a Halloween Wedding, which shows two people getting married in front of a pumpkin with a dog pulling at the bride's skirt. It's on a background with trees and tombstones.
