Sort of an odd week so far 🎵

Have to say, @marco loving the Spin Doctors is making me consider them in a different way

List of things I have because of the XOXO Festival

• my apartment
• one of my best friends
• a much better sense of my own privilege & how to use it for good and not evil
• a community that to lean on when things suck (so much support during job woes)
• amazing folx descending on PDX

XOXO surveys are live!

• the survey is mostly to give underrepresented folx a way to be represented and prevent marketers from overrunning the festival, so don’t be intimidated
• if the cost is why you wouldn’t go, there are many subsidized passes this year
• ❌⭕️❌⭕️ = best community

Oh HELLO CRJ COVER

Went and saw Disobedience today; definitely worth going to see. Good movie and really felt like a timely story.

When I’m in the mix, and thinking hard, and trying to figure out why won’t this just work?!?!, and that flow gets going? I’m just so glad that I’m working as a web dev. I’m fortunate.

brb i gotta go make a janelle monae version of this

I feel like there might be a blog post in me about this stuff, but it’s likely better as a journal entry (for my eyes only). Anyway, to quote a great Midlake song, “it’s hard for me but I’m trying.”

💕pink like the pins up on my / hoodie 💕 soooo excited for Janelle Monae’s #DirtyComputer tour tonight! 🎵

So does writing your email as heythere [at] example [dot] com online really defeat the spamz? The more I get into web dev, the more I think it would be easy to script around that and still harvest info. 🤔

So yeah if you heard me talk about writing letters on @monday, you should know it’s a serious thing. If you’d like a letter, let me know!

It me! Getting an invite from @macgenie to join her on the Micro @monday microcast was flattering and exciting. Got to talk a bit about a project I hope to start, letter writing, and my background in online journaling/blogging.

This is very cool! h/t to Eli over at eli.micro.blog

PDXers: barring running all the way out to Beavertron, do you know of good spots to grab cool Japanese stuff that a 6th grader would love to receive in the mail? Think: Pusheen, Totoro, stationery, anime, etc. My niece heads to camp soon and I’d like to send some cool stuff. ☺️

Out: COAL x DDC / In: my precious Unexposed edition pink! Some 2014 pretties getting used!
