it's amazing how fast snow accumulates in...

i remember when i was growing up in portland, the sight of a few snow flakes would instantly get me ridiculously excited for snow days and seeing the city covered in a blanket of snow. of course, that rarely happened. i remember watching the tiny snow flakes as well as big fat snow flakes fall for hours and not stick on the often already wet ground. here in amherst however, it’s been...

Also I feel like the queer community in portland can be pretty inaccessible even (and sometimes especially) for people who grew up here. I love Portland but utopia, queer or otherwise, it is not. For anyone. I feel like a lot of people have extremely...
