I’m participating in today’s mass retailer shopping boycott. If you are as well, please don’t pass up our local small businesses who continue to need our support. In my neighborhood, that’s The Arrangement (www.thearrangementpdx.com), Guilder Cafe, Beaumont Hardware, Parallel PDX and Lucca.

I joined Bluesky 🦋 today. Still figuring it out but happy to find a more positive connection to the people and ideas that make this world great 💙.

I’ll start by sharing a photo of our beloved Lovebug who provides plenty of laughs and comfort to us on the daily.
