Went to the smaller “Wave and Honk” No Kings protest in SE Portland this morning! Lots of families and older folks, lots of good dogs, lots of friendly car horns! This is just a small part of the crowd that was extended up and down several blocks!

Portland: according to a post on the local Reddit, Noem's visit to the ICE building is being purposefully extended until after dark, presumably to catch some "violent antifa" propaganda. Hold off for tonight, watch out for your neighbors' safety.
Putting this here in the hopes it gets more visibility. FYI for anybody to pass along to people protesting. My company has buildings in the area and were notified that they are holding the motorcade through tonight, meaning they are using her visit at this location as a way to try to provoke protesters into an altercation which they can use justify their response. PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN. Even better would be to just not protest tonight and give them nothing to use to push their narrative.

A couple of snippets from a short story I recently finished: details from a pencil rough & from a finished panel. The story is going to be published in a series that is yet to be announced, but sometimes you just want to let people know that work is happening!

I took this photo in March of last year and I have never felt such kinship with a fellow human.

My first published work, circa the 1970s.
A newspaper clipping: THE MISSING CHRISTMAS TREE We put up our Christmas Tree. It was time to go to bed. I was the first one to wake up. I said, “Mom! Dad! The Christmas Tree is gone!” Dad said, “I’ll call the police!” The police said, “There it is! Somebody took it!” The police got him and the Christmas Tree. Dad said, “Thank you Mr.!” By Colleen

Text to husband: I told mom it was hot up there today but it was supposed to be 69 on like Friday and she said and I quote “I’m always happy with 69”. I’m dying. You’re welcome. Text from husband: Oh no. And nice. Oh no.

We bought our house a little more than a year ago. This is the backyard in August, 2024, and today. 🌱
