214 people in four months, moved into housing. Landlords stepping up. Getting housed in weeks as opposed to years. THESE are the kind of programs we need to scale up! Good uses of taxpayer dollars! oregonlive.com/portland/2022/…

"My thesis is that paradox also has important morphogenetic dimensions and might be a stimulus, if not the stimulus, for human cognitive growth and for social-organizational development including the destruction of the orthodox."

I have fucks to give but not about everything all of the time. I want to go through life and not under/over/around. I don't want to be a hero nor fit squarely into the box. I want to transmute sacred cows. I want to be one player in a massive swarm. Gentle. Bold. Play.

Feeling some kind of way about Portland? You aren't alone. Take a moment and watch @RukaiyahAdams "Love Letter To Portland" @TEDxPortland. We don't deserve her, I hope leaders all over the city and state soak this in and use it for the work ahead. ✊🏾 #PDX youtube.com/watch?v=5KLndP…
