So true. When they said they were going to make a TV series, I was surprised. Needless to say, it didn't last long. The world isn't ready for that kind of truth. They should be, but they aren't.

It's definitely on my TBR! I do tend to love things that have complicated mother/daughter relationships. It's one of the things that I loved about September House. The relationship made the horrors more real. Same with Play Nice.

Sure! I'm starting up a Substack because people are always asking me about books, travel, food, cocktails, etc. I reviewed a.cocktail recipe book called Pour Decisions. Drink names themed for bad-exes. 😂

A group of far right assholes have showed up to protest at David Douglas high school after students allegedly pushed back at a formation of a turning point chapter. School is out & they are outnumbered by predominantly Black & Brown students roasting the fuck out of them.

My sister’s report from “war torn” Portland: “too many farmers markets, please send help.”

Pattie PJ Carlin @pjcarlin.bsky.social · 23d

Absolutely!! Our organization has lost a lot of funding thanks to the current administration, since we do a lot of equity work. We have a deep commitment to accessibility so if you would ever be interested in being on a tech accessibility committee for nonprofits, do let me know.

Pattie PJ Carlin @pjcarlin.bsky.social · 24d

This is bananas. We are the furthest thing from war-torn. They are already dispersing illegal gas in the street (my daughter's apartment looks down on the ICE facility and she has seen it. The feds terrify me more than any Portland citizen.
