I've been sitting on this, but I'm a month and a half out so it's time: my dayjob is ending June 30th, and I'm shifting to freelance writing and independent consulting! Science policy, foresight, cognitive/social science and experimental design, collaborative technologies, and democratic resilience.

I saw this interesting plant today here in NE Portland. The folks at the local Master Gardener's booth at the nearby farmers market didn't know it so not a PNW native. Agave? Yucca? Something else?

@kaine.senate.gov Please note this post and the hundreds of angry Democrat replies, furious about receiving dozens of fund-raising texts and emails per day. It is driving people away and losing more supporters every day!

Hey look, someone seems to think using the name of a gothic designer (w/a trademark for Kambriel clothing & accessories) for their gothic merch was a good idea... again. For the record, they do NOT have my permission or approval to use my name for their products & these are -not- Kambriel designs.

The good: despite the same day notification that my apt. building was sold, I found a new and affordable place to live while I complete my midwifery residency. The bad: I have to move 100s of miles ASAP and I have just enough cash to get me to my clinical exams all in the next 2 weeks. $2586 goal.
