I had the honor of closing a show to a sold out standing room only house last night.
I'm so so so so proud of my cast and crew and all the work that paid off in a final performance for the books!
This proud lil director/co-producer is taking a rest after such a wild ride.

This local artist caught my heartstrings with this piece...
Creating safe spaces is critical to human health and development. What could we achieve if we all felt safe? Do you foster safe spaces when you're moving through the world?

If you need to #EscapeReality for a bit AND you're in the #PortlandOregon area Nov 7, 8, 14 or 15, you should come laugh it out with this show. The laughs are keeping me human through the disaster of our present reality.

Fun fact:
Saying a lie over and over again will not make it true.
Portland is NOT a warzone.
Weird? Yes.
Determined to stand up for each other? Yes.
Ready to do it in the most fun way possible right in the face of the scum of humanity? Hell yes.

Just a reminder:
Columbus was a fool who never set foot in America. That raping, murderous, piece of shit never deserved to be celebrated in the first place.

My family created a household holiday - #KindlingDay
Kindling Day marks the first morning with air crisp & cool enough to have the first fire of autumn.
Bring on the #hygge!

I had such a wonderful time mostly unplugged from the world during the days of the #RealmsUnknownFestival. I was busy flipping my fin in the mermaid pond, telling mertales of myth & magick, AND SNUGGLING A BUNNYCORN!
#Mermaid life is the best 🧜🏽♀️ ...Followed closely by #pirate life! 🏴☠️

Behold, an #electricvehicle showcase - including gas to electric conversions!

The amount of work we will all have to do to clean up this clown show may last the rest of our lifetimes.
Take solace where you can along the way.

Lurking street cats tried to hunt in my front yard this morning. I chased them off so the birdies could get some breakfast in peace...
They'd be cuter if there weren't so many kitties in such a condensed suburban area.
