"* Portlanders Join Flotilla Aiming to Break Israel's Blockade of Aid to Gaza Two Portlanders described the preparation, motives, and danger of their journey to Gaza with the Global Sumud Flotilla, which departed from Spanish ports on August 31. The boats have faced drone attacks in their quest to circumvent Israel's blockade and deliver aid to Gaza."
"* A Silent Treatment Jeannie Vanasco's new memoir A Silent Treatment explores her mother's many months-long silences, which cropped up while they shared a home. Extraordinarily, Vanasco paints herself as much as the antagonist as she does her mother."
Portlanders joined the Global Sumud Flotilla departing Spanish ports on August 31 to attempt to break Israel's blockade and deliver aid to Gaza, with boats encountering drone attacks. A pop culture trivia quiz covers Trump insults, celebrity typewriters, boy band danger, and Rapture-related humor. Disposable Camera Archives 2015–2023 compiles eight years of point-and-shoot photography documenting Portland's DIY house-show scene. Jeannie Vanasco's memoir A Silent Treatment portrays extended maternal silences and casts the narrator partly as antagonist. Dan Savage addresses a married non-monogamous parent wondering whether to tell teenage children. Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another is an action-packed, overwhelming spectacle. Helen's sole LP The Original Faces in the Rearview Mirror receives a recommended re-listen.
