Star Trek The Next Generation scene. Pictured is "After hours Geordi La Forge." He's wearing a velvety cushy soft looking future space guy sweater and he's ready to chillax to the max. Also and always wearing his banana clip looking eye visor. Closed caption reads, "Maybe a little soft jazz."

Got my friend into watching 'Industry' and now he's accusing me of robbing him of his sleep since he was up last night until 4am binging it and still had to come in to work this morning.

it’s been like 20 years since the Oprah TV movie version starring Halle Berry, I think it is time for another run at THEIR EYES WERE WATCHING GOD and I do think Ryan Coogler would crush it

Honored to say Meg is now my boss.
Bummed to say she's therefore had to leave the union.
Relieved to say the work she put in improves OPB culture.
Annoyed to say we're still at the table for this contract.
Hopeful to say we can get there if we all continue to fight for it.

One of the best things you can do to fight fascism is to openly have fun being weird.

Having now seen 'Pillion', I'm really digging all the discourse around it.

I've spent the last twenty four hours shadow arguing in my head with my white male co-worker who has somehow repeatedly doubted my reading comprehension and I'm weighing whether or not I should set this motherfucker straight.

Wildest part is refusing to let Black people have a space for joy is kind of the plot of the whole damn movie too!

Reading people. Body language. Knowing how to connect with people totally unlike you and with different backgrounds and beliefs. Defusing tense situations. Gaining trust. High endurance, pain tolerance, and work ethic. Reaction time. Prioritizing order of execution. Anticipating people’s needs. Tons

This isn't to say I'm not going to continue my general laissez-faire approach to things, but I would like to have a consistent +1 on top of my generally maintained state of aroundness.

Despite thirty-nine and a half prior years of never being in a romantic relationship and at what is probably the end of my queer second adolescence since I came out at 32, I think I'm perhaps ready to find a boyfriend.

I've only been to Manuel's Tavern maybe two or three times but I'm still feeling pangs of homesickness at hearing mention of it.

"and some, i assume, are good people" is definitely part of my speech. so is "open the schools."

I love that ten years after her last album, Jill Scott hasn't missed a step.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Like how we started to really question needing to go to high school reunions in the era of Facebook

I really want people to think about this. After all the insane lawsuits, all the threats, all the bullshit weve seen from this admin and the targets who kneeled in fear, an average Joe called the president a Pedophile protector to his face and didn't get touched. That's the Power of a union.

I Had a Dream Journalism Job. Here's Why I Quit. The rot that hollowed out trust in corporate media finally reached OPB. I had to go.

This is easily the hardest thing I've ever had to write.

Mono Space 2.7 Gallery Hours Playlist - Mono Space 2.7 Gallery Hours - 59 items

Play through all the songs I played in Mono Space yesterday. It was an immense honor to use that system and listen to this music with such depth and detail.

I learned a lot today in my Mono Space Gallery Hours but the biggest lesson of all is that I *really" need to get a rolling stool. They're immensely fun.

My gallery hours at Mono Space, the hi-fi sound gallery, is tomorrow afternoon from Noon-5pm. If you're in Portland, you should roll through and hear Steely Dan's 'Aja', Flying Lotus' 'Until the Quiet Comes', Joe Sample's 'Carmel', and more in the best possible quality.

Make your voice heard during OPB's membership Drive today, February 5 - February 14.
