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.

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

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.

Will the USA keep working on our imperfect constitutional democratic republic together, or will we have to deal with throwing off an actual dictatorship?

Today is Presidents' Day. It is also the 114th anniversary of the self-starter used in mass produced vehicles.

Speaking of cars, what would you do if your grandpa drove the family car to a sketchy tune-up shop to save money, and they dismantled the vehicle, and sold the parts for profit?

Let's recognize the vital contributions of immigrants to our economy. On 2/3/25, many businesses in Hillsboro’s Calle Diez closed and workers stayed home to highlight their economic impact. Now they are open again. We can show our SUPPORT by shopping at Calle Diez.

"LOS PORTALES DE MI TIERRA," by William Hernandez, is a mural in the city's Calle Diaz /Tenth Avenue community and cultural hub of Hillsboro. The foreground features a thoughtful woman in vibrant traditional clothing, holding calla lilies, surrounded by flowers, fruit, vegetables, a mortar and pestle, and a bird. In the background, the mural depicts a clear sky, a mountain, a river, a forest, and community buildings, including many apartment homes and a church.

Be careful who you organize with. Build strong networks of trust before taking action. 50501 on Discord and Reddit just posted 50 protests at 50 state capitols on 1 day on 2/5/2025. I do not see evidence of a strong safety plan yet. Basic travel advice: Know before you go.
