"Every time we've gone, when we come back home, they are glowing for a while. They are more bought into what we are doing. They are more inspired to work harder. They are super excited to play."

Nothing, absolutely nothing, turns people into the most ghoulish versions of themselves like threats, real or perceived, to one's property.

Shredded paper is especially difficult to recycle, so many programs will not accept it. Shredding accelerates fiber shortening and lowers the paper grade from high-grade to mixed-grade. Mixed-grade paper is still recyclable, but it ends up baled and processed into products like paper towels and packing paper.

WolfBrown found that Eugene had an abundance of art; however, the town needed more support from the business sector. The results showed that "we punched above our weight for a community our size," said Kelly Johnson, executive director of the nonprofit Arts & Business Alliance of Eugene, which the city created in 2008 to link the arts and business communities.

I wanted something that felt a little more freaky within the town while still honoring its history. Her vision was a retreat that encouraged guests to embrace their weirdness and put it on display. Dev imagined an aesthetic loosely inspired by an old circus, hearkening to a place where everyone is accepted and eccentricity is the norm.

Upon entry, Kent's "IF" (1965) lures the eye upward. The serigraph-a silkscreen print in fine art parlance-hangs high on the wall with a subtle vulnerability. Two orange letters hover toward the composition's top edge, as if pushing to transcend the picture plane. A feeling of possibility emerges through the conjunction and its visual form.

Playwright Mikki Gillette—described once as 'the Joan of Arc of the trans community in Portland theatre' by actor and critic Bobby Burmea—sets the work in the lead-up to and immediate aftermath of the 1966 Compton's Cafeteria Riot. We're dropped into the lives of four trans people practically begging the world to care about their pain, but with very different ways of approaching a brighter future.

We already pay the bulk of the TriMet operating budget through (mostly employment) taxes (49%), federal operating grants (13%), state and local revenue (8%). That's a total of 70% that everybody has already paid—even folks who aren't passengers. Passenger revenue only covers 6% of the TriMet budget.

The initial offense could have maintained a shield of plausible deniability- dismissed as an unfortunate use of a common phrase between people when having a misunderstanding. Instead the Duolingo-style apology, in which Nolan noted that they "disrespected [his] heritage," read as cringeworthy; becoming a case study in a common affliction that befalls my hometown-called "Portland Nice™."

You know, how on a crystal autumn morning everything seems lit up from within, the air sharp as glass, everyone grinning at the startling poem of it all? Then it begins to rain and by the middle of the afternoon it's still raining, and I go for a walk and my shoes get soaked and for the life of me I can't find my umbrella, and I realize with a sinking feeling that The Wet is upon me, moist and insistent.
