PORTLAND INSURGENTS ON THE MOVE

Portland insurgents need careful constant monitoring. They are as unpredictable in their actions as a local weather forecast. One minute everything is nice and peaceful, then they unleash more hell than the battles in Gladiator. Their weapons of choice are either beak, or wing.

OREGON EMPATHY IN THE WILD WEST

Oregon empathy is all we’re asking for from our border states and beyond. Try and feel what it’s like to be in our shoes. We’re trying to stand up to the harsh words and divisive actions aimed directly at our way of life, but for how long? How many more pumpkins must go to rot […]

PORTLAND WAR ZONE: OMSI DRAFT

I got drafted to go to the Portland war zone at OMSI. It’s been in the works for quite some time with all of the science and industry nonsense spewing out at an unsuspecting public who knows better. I suspended my disbelief, girded my loins, and made the long slog.

BARONIAL BEAVERTON TODAY

Last night marked a farewell to Baronial Beaverton, a home of dreams and vision. The first time I walked in I knew something was different. I didn’t make a fuss over the awe-inspiring place right off the bat, but now? I doubt I’ll see anything like it again.

When we say “storytelling,” we mean nonfiction stories conveyed through […]

THE PAPER CEILING FIRE

You’ve heard of the ‘paper ceiling?’ No? Now you have. “Millions of workers with in-demand skills and experience, overlooked for higher-wage jobs because they don’t have a bachelor’s degree.” They don’t have a bachelor’s degree? Like that’s the ticket for a good life?
