I just noticed that my Facebook background is still Portland, which is … not where I actually live these days, but also I’m in exile and I suffer

Honestly … I miss northwest Oregon so much :(

[ETA 2/27/2024: I was sad and lonely when I wrote this, more than now, and I actually love Washington State and probably even slightly prefer it to OR as a state, though they're very similar in any case. But I prefer the Portland metro area to everywhere!]

I discovered a new song!

Well, it's from 2012 and I think won a Grammy, but I hadn't heard it before. I was making a PNW-themed playlist (shh) and browsing brought up Esperanza Spalding's "City of Roses." It's about Portland, of course, and a jazz paean to Portland with lyrics about loving the bridges, the greenery and parks, the waterfront, the farmer's market and its people, the music, etc. I loved it!

I reblogged a post about the ways in which the places we love can feel like they belong to us and attempts to redefine those places can feel like betrayal, and tagged it:

#yeah #my conservative relatives complain about portland all the time and i keep my mouth shut #but inwardly i'm just HOW DARE
anghraine: leia c. esb, jaw dropping (leia [shocked])
global warming :(

I complained on Tumblr, but ... ??!!!??!!!!
