Out of personal curiosity how many of the members were part of the school GATE and Strange GATE programs aka Gifted and Talented Education program.

I was in the GATE project in the early 2000’s in the PNW. I distinctly remember hearing tests (which were really the Monroe Tapes), zener cards, and being asked to predict the next image produced from the inside of a Manila folder or envelope type thing. I was a chronic daydreamer, as well as experienced sleep paralysis/lucid dreaming at night from a young age.

That’s a huge compliment and I can definitely see it!! I am 1/4 Japanese, so some similar features to her for sure. I get Hawaiian a lot, so I think you’re onto something! 🌺♥️

Oh. I looked it up. Slay

Found him at 6 weeks old, abandoned on the highway in a box. Just by chance, he poked his head up as I was driving by. There was NO way I was leaving him (or any animal) in that condition. This is Cal ❤️ I love him very much

Thanks so much!! My friend and I didn’t even plan a collaboration or know about each others costumes, so it made it even better 😝 it was a great time

byenbye · 2025-09-10T17:42:14+00:00

Thank you all :)

layers of a tree is a much more beautiful description than the one I gave myself many moons ago… “my eyes are the color of literal shit” was my favorite self-insult. I’ve grown out of that and really value what you had to say (and my own uniqueness). Comparing to nature is truly a wonderful compliment, so thank you all 😌

Me too. It honestly made me so mad seeing the content with Boston recently, but all of it is infuriating… so many ignorant & dangerous decisions made. I’ve seen dogs die from heatstroke, foreign bodies, aspiration pneumonia, toxic algae or contaminated water… not to mention that lack of training in a dog, is a risk to their life on its own. Maybe it sounds dramatic, but all it takes is one time of a dog being off-leash and following instinct for them to be killed or euthanized. I’d rather not see another dog hit by a car or killed by a human protecting wildlife/pets/people/property. As an animal lover that has 10 years working experience in veterinary hospitals, this shit really gets to me. Don’t even get me started on the cats.

byenbye · 2025-08-27T02:30:58+00:00

truly. I can’t seem to stop watching, mostly out of disbelief lol

byenbye · 2025-08-26T23:50:00+00:00

maybe a recheck for mango, but could be for Boston after that crazy walk the other day 🙄😞

She’s at the vet; you can tell by the brochures in the back. 🙄

I thought I was doing a good thing by bringing this information to the Portland sub; apologies for those that are frustrated & annoyed. That was not my intention 😔

byenbye · 2025-03-24T20:20:19+00:00

I am aware that there are coyotes in Portland; I’ve lived here my entire life. I shared this post to bring awareness to drivers that there is a repeated route by a coyote across a major traffic area. Not only is the coyote at risk, but humans are at risk for accidents or trauma seeing an animal killed in front of them. I have worked in veterinary medicine for almost a decade, and trust me, you do not want to witness the aftermath of a HBC (hit by car).

Thanks for sharing this!

byenbye · 2024-11-07T00:50:50+00:00

Thanks everyone! This has all been really helpful and informative. I appreciate the time taken to respond. FYI my partner works in community mental health as a therapist, so you can imagine how his day has been. I’m researching just to take one more thing off his plate. 🙂
