A gorgeous young woman in a sequin dress plays lead guitar, a handsome fella in an enormous fieldworker’s straw cowboy hat and striped pants plays bass guitar, and a young man in a black zbeanie plays drums like a maniac under a canopy in the rain in an alley.

Good #music all over town today from 10am to 10pm
A wooden cafe table with a close up of a sandwich on a white plate with a bite taken out of it, a white to-go cup, and part of the schedule for Make Music Day 2025’s schedule. A cafe with a young girl seated on stage with ripped jeans and long blue hair, an acoustic guitar in her lap, singing into a microphone. People are seated at a wooden table, listening.

“What’s Up?” asks Bluesky… the Hawthorns!

Ask of me what the birds sang,
High in the hawthorn tree…

A branch of a hawthorn tree covered in clusters of blossoms. Small flowers, brilliant pink petals with white centers, white stamen, yellow-green at the very center. In the background is spring green grass.

Hope you got out to enjoy the beautiful Oregon day…
#NoKings! #April19 #250years #indivisible #50501Movement #Resist
A row of protest signs on the grass in front of the Oregon State Capitol Protesters line both sides of the street under a blue sky with a few fluffy clouds in front of the Oregon State Capitol Park. A woman of color with long black hair in a bright hoop skirt painted with images of resistance, a belt of various countries’ flags, a t-shirt that says “My existence is my resistance,” and a Statue of Liberty crown holds a megaphone. Behind her is a red canopy with banners that say “Salem Region Indivisible” and “We are all Kilmar Abrego García.”

A man in a brown tunic at a protest against Tesla holds a sign with a golden flaming eye that has a pupil shaped like the Tesla logo. The sign reads “Stop the eye of Elon… Gondor calls for aid!”
