Seems like time for an intro! 👋

I’m a Portlander who can’t stop making merch about the things I care about most – #football ( #rctid, #baonpdx, #fcunion), #birds, #anti-fascism, #Portland & #Cascadia.

A chunk of profits goes to woke-ass orgs here in PDX. Reposts are appreciated! 💚

Good wide-ranging piece about the Thorns under the Bhathals from Jeff Carlisle at ESPN. #BAONPDX

Rocked by scandal, Portland Thorns aim to reclaim former glory under new ownership

Scandals and abuse allegations forced the Portland Thorns to find new owners, but decoupling from the Timbers organization has been a work in progress.

🔥🔥🔥 Today at immigration court 26 Federal Plaza this woman went ballistic to the masked ICE agents who detained her family member. Where are the people standing up to the Gestapo? I never saw this in 4 months I’ve been filming. 👏👏👏👏

Posting this reminds me of something I wanted to point out – I send as many anti-fascist stickers and shirts to red states as I do to blue. The real world of humans just doesn’t divide up like that! 💚

I DO have a few of these stickers handy if you'd like to beautify your own environment with an angry floating ICE-blasting #Godzilla baby.

Have I mentioned lately how much I love Portland?

No?

Well. I fucking love Portland.

It literally just occurred to me that my #Godzilla drawing turned out to be a Portlander in an inflatable costume.

Because a few folks have pinged me hoping to pick one of these up for #NoKings this weekend, I’m afraid they take over a week to arrive, and direct shipping is the only way.

(from my website, explaining the overall merch situation)

The garments on this site are digitally printed on demand and shipped directly from my vendor. Stickers, patches, and pins are shipped from CalyxWorks headquarters here in PDX.
If you don’t see the size/style/color you need, hit me up here or on my socials. The best way to find out about new stuff is to follow me on BlueSky or Insta.

We’re spoiled in Portland by standing in a supporter section that gets loud on its own. If the PA told us to get loud we wouldn’t even hear it!
