When we first moved to Oregon 11 years ago, we would drive into Portland to participate in protests. More recently, we’ve had to only go as far as Clackamas. There were 125 to 150 people last Saturday on 212 for the NO KINGS rally.
A person in a large green and yellow frog onesie, standing in front of a telephone pole. They are holding a black and white sign that reads “protest is patriotic.” someone behind her is holding a large American flag. They are standing at the side of the road.

Chicken chicken
A large white sheet of paper hangs from a wire. There are many doodles of chickens drawn across the surface of the paper.

I was inspired by Parinaz Bahadori in Jennifer Wilkin Penick’s Thursday Mixed Media session to snip my current mantra into letters and then carve a stamp. ATCs to follow.

#HoldFast
A crudely cut rubber stamp with the words “hold fast” has been stamped on the left-hand side of a vibrant pink piece of paper. The stamp and inspiration hand cut letters are on the right hand side.

Making small things with my hands helps calm the fog of existential dread swirling in my brain.

I spent a day working on a new set of ATCs for Abby Houston's February swap . #OnlyBeautifulThings #ATC
Twelve Artist Trading Cards ( 2.5 x 3.5") in three rows of four. Each card features a vase with a black background. The vases are all primarily blue and collaged with pink, yellow and/or yellow paper. Each card has a horizontal line of gold stitches.

Hey, @fraying.bsky.social, is it too early to ask if you'll be my Valentine?
A 12 foot skeleton stands behind a young pine three and farm fence. The skeleton has a small red tinsel heard on its chest. There is a pink pixel granny square crochet heart on the farm fence.

Crochet/machine, knitting yarn bomb with the words “BE KIND” in large black letters on a pale pink background. In smaller text underneath ”DON’T BE A DICK”. There is a bright orange border and around that a fluorescent pink scalloped edge, both crocheted in acrylic yarn.

Choose wisely.
Two small blue and white packages that look somewhat similar. One is a Willamina mint. The other is a dishwasher pod.

What’s up?
Tricolor goat with a glorious blank beard looks towards the photographer as if they will spontaneously combust into peanuts. The goats face is close to the camera and you can see that she’s standing on a wooden bench. That’s anchored by cinderblocks.

A tricolored goat, with blue eyes sticks his tongue out at the camera.
