Pumpkin cream cheese cupcakes again for Friendsgiving!
A white cupcake tray full of twelve pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and clear sprinkles that look like snow. The liners are different shades of blue.

A photo of me, a non-binary blond-haired person with glasses wearing a cute and spooky sweater with a ghost in a witch hat saying “Boo!” I’m looking exasperated. The sweater still has the tag on it, I’m trying it on.

Went on a fun adventure to Multnomah Falls! It was very misty.
A photo of Multnomah Falls on a cloudy day. A bridge goes over the lower waterfall, and several tourists are on it. A photo of me (a non-binary person with blond hair and glasses) closer to the falls on the bridge. I’m wearing a light gray baseball cap that says “PEACE”, a black winter jacket, and a grey plaid shirt. I have a backpack and a purse on too.

I was trusted with normal shelving the other day, not just holds shelving. Leveling up?

The children’s sections are pure chaos though.

I mostly just lurk around here these days, but here’s a cool photo I got of the moon.
The moon illuminating a cloudy night sky between a building on the left and trees on the right.

It was a very nice day in downtown Portland today. Look at all the rioting. 🙄

this adorable void and his silly poses 🥰
A black cat with golden eyes curled up on a fuzzy blue blanket. He’s sort of half curled up and tilting his head playfully in a “come pet my belly” way.

Maybe they were inspired by the leader of Antifa.
A post from Bobby (bunny emoji) at marqueenmoonpie that reads “This is the leader of ANTIFA. His name is Jason and he is a duck. #EXPOSEANTIFA with a picture of a cute little duckling on a busy sidewalk.

More pics from today: my friends who all came to the show, and pizza with a mocktail from Ruby’s! We went there after the show.
A photo of me and three of my friends leaning in and smiling at a picnic table covered in a rainbow-striped plastic cover. The friend next to me and I are making peace signs with our fingers. There are programs and lyric sheets on the table, as well as a small pillow shaped like Yoshi’s head, a couple of thermoses, and a couple of phones. A 10” pizza with bubbly crust, marinara, cheese, pineapple, and sausage. It’s on black and white checkered paper. A mocktail in a mason jar with a handle. It’s a moscow mule (made with kombucha) with a lime slice on the side and two black straws sticking out.

Pics from the Pride show I was in today for Resound NW!
A photo of me (a short non-binary person with medium length blond hair and glasses), wearing a rainbow tie-dye skirt, black t-shirt, and thin black jacket singing into a mic that I’m holding. There’s a music stand near me and a keyboard being played by an accompanist. There’s a Pride flag hanging down a curtain behind me and a plastic rainbow stripes table cover in front of me. A small ensemble (around 20 people, maybe 15 pictured) in colorful, casual clothes all singing together. I’m sitting on a stool while everyone else is standing, behind our director who is also playing the keyboard. There is a bass guitar player in this number too, and myself and two others behind me are playing melodicas (a keyboard you hold and blow into). Five of us are singing solos in front of two mic stands. I’m holding the mic while I sing my solo, and I’m standing in the middle of the group.

Pretty pleased by how this went today! I haven’t performed solo in a long time, and this one means a lot to me. I was surprised by how many people knew this intro for “Over the Rainbow.

Some flower pics for #BloomScrolling. Can someone please help me identify them? I know the second one is a Bleeding Heart but not sure about the other two. 😌
A cluster of bright pink and pink with white flowers in a large green bush. A photo of bright pink (with almost an orange tint) bleeding heart flowers, some with purple centers that have fully bloomed. There are also some purple flowers nearby close to the ground. The flowers are lining a sidewalk. A grouping of light pink, bright pink, and red flowers surrounded by green leaves winding up in a curvy pattern next to a house.

Had the worst Amtrak trip of my life today. Had to take a bus instead of the train and there was no AC in the back. Temps were between high 80s to high 90s between Seattle and Portland. 🫠😵‍💫😩
A picture of myself with a pained expression, wearing a gray KN95 mask. My medium length blond hair is frizzy from humidity and my black shirt is sweaty. I’m holding a bottle of water.

Took this on an evening walk! #Seattle #PNW
A photo of Mt. Rainier towering over Seattle. The mountain still has a bit of snow on it. It’s still bright out, but evening.

Seattle day 1!
A clear case full of crystals in different shades of purple, pink, grey, black, light blue, and green. There are different shapes and sizes, and some are in jewelry. A cheesy piroshky (large filled pastry) on its wrapper next to a moscow mule cocktail. A small stage with purple lighting, before a show. There’s a man in a blue shirt sitting in the corner with keyboards and a guitar, warming up. A small cup of guava-flavored sorbet with a spoon sticking out.

I took so many rose pictures the other day. #BloomScrolling
A large pink and yellow rose in a bush that’s close to the ground. The petal tips are light pink and the yellow gets darker toward the center of the rose.

Stopped by the International Test Rose Garden today to smell the roses! Might have to go back for longer! 🌹

A photo of roses that are a combination of light pink and orange. A single light pink and yellow rose with large petals that billow out at the bottom. A mix of bushes with orange, peach, light pink, and dark pink roses. A large red rose nestled between leaves.

Got an incredible view of Mt. Hood today.
