Mercifully the bike case that actually fits my small bike arrived TODAY and NOT after my departure so if we could now focus our sorcerous energies on getting my bid for an Amtrak upgrade accepted I would be very grateful

I tried ordering a suitable folding bike case for my return journey but per the tracking info I have just received it looks like it’ll be arriving in Minneapolis the day after I leave, so, future attendees of Tom’s residency who happen to have the exact model of folding bike I do: you’re welcome

Further update is that it is raining in Minneapolis today and I forgot to pack any kind of jacket so I am making my way around the neighborhood wearing the large bike case as a fashionable shawl

Update on this is that a very kind friend is lending me a carrying case intended for normal bicycles which makes my bike look vaguely Gen Z

this is an actual city with important economic and cultural issues to discuss but maybe we can come back to your little ballgame for children if we have time at the end of the meeting sweatie

Okay I counted and there were at least NINETEEN different sets of nesting dolls that included some degree of cat motif, and a bonus poodle-themed one

However many cat-themed nesting dolls you were expecting to find in the permanent collection of the Museum of Russian Art, I assure you the real answer is: more than that

Bulldoze the arena and turn it into a public sex forest.

Portland Trail Blazers officials told city councilors the city needs to do more than just help fund a renovation of the Moda Center if it wants to assure the Blazers’ long-term presence in Oregon.

The “Russian studies” books are roughly in chronological order and everything else is a loose combination of subject matter, appearance, and fondness—fav books I revisit over and over again are in the bookshelf nearest my bed

Enough of the horrors and doom scrolling. Let's talk about something fun. How do you arrange your books?

Woke up mad early to ritualize the Jupiter cazimi and took a strange mid-morning nap as a result so I can now say, after lunch and a strong cup of “dark rose” tea, Good Morning

It absolutely rocks that the MIA is FREE wow unbeatable!!! Good museum with a medium-confusing layout, I think I at least glanced at most of it today, the galleries of Native art are extra special

portland Oregon let’s get Annie a JOB!!!!!!!

Nothing says summer blockbuster like Lars von Trier at the helm of “Lying in a Hammock at William Duffy’s Farm in Pine Island, Minnesota”

Studio execs are going to want to adapt more poems for the big screen now

If the Lloyd redevelopment results in a Pearl Street + more housing situation I will be thrilled tbh

I just did a huge series of drawings partly inspired by Les Enfants du Paradis and had NO IDEA that my cherished hometown mall was also inspired by Les Enfants du Paradis??!!!! I myself literally WAS one of the buskers the designers envisioned!!?!??!!!

NO FUCKING WAY:

ROSE@milkshakemotel.bsky.social · last wk.

To me, this is the mall of America: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_S...

God help me I am going to the Mall of America

Slept eleven hours under the care of this remarkable cat

Now that I've mastered the 38 hour train ride between Portland and Minneapolis I can confidently say I'd do it again: I saw a heron, a pair of swans, sunset over North Dakota and sunrise over Minnesota, tottering baby calves, bright yellow algae, bright green algae, wildflowers of many colors, etc.

I got rid of the carrying case for my folding bike a couple of moves ago so I am currently constructing one out of a bunch of old cardboard boxes; whatever I do I really AM my father’s daughter

My precious little cat has decided to sleep under the bed more or less directly under my own sleeping spot and it’s soooooo sweet and so funny to hear him shift around under there when he stirs

Last fall, my friend Ursula organized us into a Neo Boys cover band for Halloween, and this summer, we played at the release party for the reissue of Crumbling Myths WITH PAT BAUM ON THE DRUMS

I had such a nice time on this pod!!! Tune in to hear me chat about all 900 things I am doing at any given time!

This week on the J-Card Podcast we spoke to Rose Lewis (@milkshakemotel.bsky.social) of Portland-based punk band Love in Hell. We had a great chat about her music, plus her work in visual arts, radio, DJing, zine publishing, benefit show booking, and more! tapeclub.substack.com/p/rose-lewis...

Speaking of summer camp I am incredibly excited to spend some time in beautiful Minneapolis working on drawings at @tombubul.bsky.social’s new TPH residency! I leave Monday and you BET I am taking the train

It IS weird that I have lived in Portland, Oregon, for almost seventeen years, and have been an active participant in the punk scene the entire time, and yet have only played Olympia twice

Based on this photo you might not be able to guess that mere moments before it was taken I ate an entire container of chicken salad with my hands because I forgot to have lunch on the way home from playing a show in Olympia

Reached the venue in plenty of time to soundcheck but belatedly discovered I forgot my toothbrush AND deodorant. Gig—fantastic! Wimps rule!

It IS funny that mercury retrograde featured so prominently in the story of how Martin interviewed us because it sure is fucking up our departure timeline for our eventual arrival in Seattle this evening. I remembered to pack my phone charger at least!
