#RegionalRiffs
I don’t know why this is so funny to me, but I discovered this band by looking up the new guitar teaching studio that just popped up near our neighborhood, seeing a photo of the instructor, and thinking “something tells me she’s into metal”.And how. 😅

Tressie McMillan Cottom on spending Juneteenth with Black Oregonians and Portlanders.
(First...well, do I need to say it? I had no idea! None! Oregon wasn't really founded with diversity in mind, you know?)
Anyway. Her post is awesome. As always.

@ColinTheMathmo @VisualStuart Sorry for the poor quality of introduction - I was on my phone (my laptop, I'm still recovering from a ransomware).
Summarising:
I met Colin at college, where he corrected many of my initial bad juggling habits, and introduced me to the (then, very new!) concept that became known as #Siteswap. I keep up with him for the #recreationalmaths , the #MathsJam events, and other reminders that I used to be, and still am, interested in that space.
Stuart, on the other hand, is someone who seems to show up in random unconnected places - we were both Microsoft MVPs at various times, and with the #PortlandJuggling Festival being the most local, reliable annual juggling festival, I've run into him a few times there. For the first couple of years, there was definitely a vibe of "I've seen you before, but I can't remember where".
There is likely to be a #SeattleJuggling event in the next year.
Hopefully that's enough hashtags. -

Some more about me: #juggling. I learned to #juggle in my year off from college. When I returned to #ReedCollege , juggling was a PE class and I signed up. After I graduated I started teaching that juggling class. In 1992 I founded the #PortlandJugglingFestival with much help from my friends. Around that time, I was also tapped to staff a new juggling space at the #OregonCountryFair. I have taught thousands of people to juggle, or taught them a new trick, or a new prop. Juggling changed my life.

Where's the mud when you need it? The holloway was dry but the green lane didn't let me down, providing a couple of kilometres of slop to test out my new mudguards.
I broke the old guards removing them in the summer (yes, my mechanic skills are that bad). But I never really liked them anyway. Their replacements are full metal ones from Portland Design Works and they’re amazing: no rattles or wobbles, great coverage and minimal splatter.

New- article from this past weekend is out now where a rally organized by a coalition of labor unions and community members turned violent when federal agents unleashed tear gas, rubber bullets, and other munitions on Portlanders, including young children, highlighting the deepening militarization of law enforcement and the community’s unwavering resistance.
I spoke with multiple people who were on the ground, including a street medic who said “I’ve been working in this field for over 8 years now and I’ve seen a lot of shit, but that was truly one of the most terrible things I’ve witnessed and I never thought that I’d have to see actual children getting gassed like that, but here we are I suppose.”
“This couple with a stroller emerged from the cloud with their maybe 2 or 3 year old daughter sitting barely conscious in that stroller. The parents were coughing and could barely walk, couldn’t see anything, this poor little girl was covered in her own vomit and sputum and mucus was pouring from her nose. She was just sitting there barely conscious, wheezing heavily, barely breathing through the wheezing…”
The medic told me that they had treated at least four children that day, adding "I’m never ever going to forget the sounds of those kids wailing in pain hacking up a lung in full panic mode. It was one of the worst things I’ve ever seen in my 8+ years of street medicine and EMS work."

Show up for your neighbor: #ClimateCrisis and Inequality at Home
January 30, 2026
By Caitlin Marshall"When we talk about climate change, we can talk about greenhouse gas emissions, CO2 levels, and kilowatts of renewable energy. These are all key metrics that ensure we’re grounded in solid science as we find a better way forward. But we also need to talk about people. The climate crisis has always been about inequality among people.
#ClimateChange Displaces Millions
Globally and locally, those who bear the highest burden of pollution and vulnerability to climate disruption are our #BIPOC neighbors. And one of the threads of that truth is climate migration.
In the coming decades, climate change will displace millions of people worldwide. Most will be from the Global South, whether directly to escape rising seas and polluted land or indirectly when climate instability exacerbates political instability.
We might meet this with worry. Or we can be inspired by a different perspective. As #SinafekeshGirma writes, we can 'move beyond viewing migration as a crisis, recognizing its power to advance resilience, inclusive policies, increased adaptation financing, and community-led solutions.'
#BuildingResilience in Maine
So what does that mean right now? That means pitching in to support our current #MigrantCommunity in Maine. When we see climate change and #RacialInjustice as interlinked problems, we can also see that the solutions are interlinked.
For some ideas on where to start: Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition, Maine Immigrant and Refugee Services, Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project, and Maine Equal Justice.
Showing up for each other today is not only the right thing to do, but it also keeps building our resilience and skills. It prepares us for a future climate-changed world.
Right here in Portland, we are going to keep seeing climate challenges that ask us to help each other in times of need. Practicing now builds the muscle of resilience, of care. It asks us to be creative, and bold. It forces us to look around and see that change has always, always been part of our story.
We can lean into our community spirit, and in the words of Maine Youth for Climate Justice, create a 'livable future where we can all thrive.' "
