I struggle with typical health care pain scales, so I designed my own scales here to include more straightforward language and visual support for understanding.

It's no mystery
Why the murderers pretend
To be the police
nytimes.com The New York Times @nytimes.com · Jun 14
A man impersonating a police officer assassinated a Democratic state legislator in Minnesota, Gov. Tim Walz said on Saturday, and killed the lawmaker’s husband. The assailant also shot and injured another Democratic lawmaker and his wife, officials said. nyti.ms/4jRTrvw
A black card with white text that reads: "Minnesota Lawmaker Is Assassinated in Act of ‘Targeted Political Violence’ A person pretending to be a police officer assassinated Melissa Hortman, a Democratic state representative, Gov. Tim Walz said, and killed her husband. The gunman also targeted a state senator and his wife in 
a separate shooting. June 14, 2025"

Speaking as a person who owns a DON'T TREAD ON ME flag, albeit slightly altered, it feels incongruous that anyone flying the original one would support throwing people in prison without due process. #NoKings

‘Show Me Where You Make Autism!’ Shouts RFK Jr., Storming Sour Patch Kids Factory
EAST HANOVER, NJ—As part of the health secretary’s highly publicized pledge to determine the cause of the disorder in the next five months, a wild-eyed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reportedly shouted “Show me where autism is made!” Thursday while storming the Sour Patch Kid factory. “Attention Sour Patch Factory people: Give me the autism and no […]

Mad respect and gratitude to @booker.senate.gov for keeping the floor now for seventeen hours and counting, to raise awareness of and protest the actions taken by President Donald Trump’s administration.

Booker said he will keep going “as long as I am physically able.”

Please call your senators today and urge them to vote NO on cloture for the House-passed Continuing Resolution, and move to pass a clean CR instead. It's vital that Congress take back constitutional power of the purse. No one elected Elon Musk. No Kings! Hold the line!

Don't miss the Knickers in a Bunch Opening Reception this Friday, March 14, 2025 at the Kathrin Cawein Gallery on the Pacific University campus in Forest Grove. I am so excited to see all the amazing art by women all around the USA! Here are my offerings this year. Read alt text for more info.
Pink, white, and black event flyer featuring floral and lace imagery, with the following text: KNICKERS IN A BUNCH NATIONAL WOMEN'S ART EXHIBIT OPENING RECEPTION MARCH 14, 6-8PM CAWEIN KATHRIN GALLERY PACIFIC UNIVERSITY MARCH 14TH THROUGH APRIL 12TH FOREST GROVE 2043 COLLEGE WAY FOREST GROVE, OREGON EXHIBIT IS UNCENSORED VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED A QR code links to the event information: https://www.aprilhoff.com/knickers/ Priority Communication Spring 2025: Aloft. Photocopy collage 'zine. Front cover features a surreal collage image including a girl with a broom launching into the air, and flying over mountains containing imagery of women doing tasks that tend to be traditionally assigned to women more than men. This work is inspired by a set of vintage action verb vocabulary cards I found, featuring strikingly sexist depictions of everyday tasks. The cards depict men or boys performing most of the actions by far. The few cards featuring women or girls are consistently related to homemaking, secretarial work, nursing, teaching, or childcare. I felt especially awful for the solitary sweeping girl. The boys were playing, riding, climbing, wrestling, and here was this hardworking girl trapped in a vocabulary box for sixty years, just sweeping. She reminds me that in 2025, many women are still struggling to get the men and boys in our families and communities to take equal responsibility for homemaking and emotional labor. This work is primarily dedicated to the women I know who grew up in times and places where they were not even allowed to wear pants to school, not allowed to have a credit card, not allowed to play many sports. This work is also dedicated to girls, women, and anyone embracing, de-emphasizing, or discarding any gender identity today. We are dealing with regressive policies limiting our access to reproductive healthcare, education, and freedom of expression. Time to make more art! Shout out to the Forest Grove City Library for providing excellent resources for local makers, including a high quality photocopier. Aloft. Collage and acrylic paint on found wood service tray. Surreal collage image including a girl with a broom launching into the air, and flying over mountains containing imagery of women doing tasks that tend to be traditionally assigned to women more than men. Poster prints of Aloft are also available.

Forest Grove NO KINGS Rally.
We cannot make it into Portland at noon on March 4th, so we will wave signs at the big flag in Forest Grove on our lunch break. If anyone wants to join us, I cannot be there until about 12:20 pm but it would be great if folks who are available could start at noon.
