- Me: huh Usha Vance is pregnant My wife: that’s what she gets for sitting on the couch
- Please stop asking the youths how old you look. It comes off as desperate and leaves everyone uncomfortable. I do, however, have the correct answer for you. You look your age. Because you are that age. Hope that helps.

- I had a lot of rooted plants, ready to sell. I found thrips on one of them last night. So, today, instead of taking pictures of all the cutie patooties, I had to throw them out instead. Hundreds of dollars I was hoping to use for Christmas have vanished. Send whiskey and hugs.

- A good ol’ PNW atmospheric river storm means that the helicopters won’t be used to drive Portland insane for the next two days. Enjoy the quiet and get your batteries and candles ready, we’re pretty much guaranteed to lose power.
- I live on semi busy street in Portland, it connects SE to the river. This morning was the busiest traffic I’ve ever seen since we moved into our home nine years ago. It was all headed west to downtown, and now it’s like a ghost town outside. I’m so proud of my fellow Portlanders! #NoKings
- We don’t do violence in Portland unless you count passive aggression. Because we have that perfected.
- Dear fellow Portlanders, We use kazoos, not violence. Please learn the circus songs.
- I wish Gatorade was carbonated.
- I let the bastards get me down
- The rapture happened, so if you’re reading this, you need to get right with Jesus. Start with practicing empathy.

- Reposted by LirpaJust a heads up! Artists don't owe you affordable commissions and it doesn't give you the right to complain and harass them. They work to pay bills and eat just like us If an artist values their own art at a specific price point... who are you to challenge that? Move on.

- Reposted by LirpaWorst part about commission price discourse are other artists dogpiling & bragging about how they spend weeks on a piece and sell it for $150 because they “can’t expect others to pay outrageous prices” Undervaluing yourself is not a flex. You’re catering to the wrong customer.

- I just found one of my nasturtiums covered in tiny black aphids when I went out to water this morning. It’s officially fall. #Portland #Gardening

- Reposted by LirpaI don’t know who needs to hear this, but news / social media—especially when constant, chaotic, and unfiltered—can hit our brains like a DDoS attack: overload attention, flood emotions, and make it hard to think clearly. It’s okay to step back and curate what you let in. Your mental uptime matters.
