Explore the power of mindfulness and hands-on creativity in this Meditative Print Workshop for Teens! Learn how guided visualization meditation can spark creative ideas, and explore abstract drawing to translate these ideas onto paper. We will introduce the art of Tetrapak printing—a sustainable printmaking technique using upcycled materials—teaching participants how to turn their drawings into unique prints by experimenting with shapes, textures, and ink. This workshop encourages creative exploration through mindfulness, and cultivates an interest in both new & sustainable and traditional print-making techniques. No prior experience is needed!
Each participant will make their own original art prints to take home and all supplies and materials are included!
Please direct any questions about this workshop or registration to adria@hoffmanarts.org
I would like to invite everyone to a special virtual raffle fundraiser that starts tomorrow and goes to the 27th. Proceeds go towards the operational cost of a podcast that raises awareness around sexual exploitation and pushes for social change and stronger social security, especially for vulnerable women. You can see all items here: redlightexpose.betterworld.org
In many big cities across the globe, but even and especially here in the US, more young women are turning to the sex industry as an answer to the cost of living and housing crisis. Our podcast “Red Light Expose” in addition to many other issues, aims to solve the underlying problems that put people, overwhelmingly women, into desperate positions, and a society that blindly allows it. Many of the hosts are longtime survivors of the sex industry themselves and speak from experience. We also draw on the expertise of various academics and researchers from around the globe.
If you’re interested in listening to the podcast, it will be a new monthly show on XRAY FM 91.7 Nehalem every 1st Friday at 1 PM, starting July.
Attached also shares about a livestream event tomorrow that will kick off the raffle. Join us if you’d like!
Thank you.
The collectible posters cost $30 each. Proceeds from the sale help fund official parade buttons and prizes, supplies, support services, bagpipers, and other expenses.
Dillon also will happily personalize posters already purchased at the Manzanita Visitor Center. Cash or check only at the market. A credit card can be used through the “Donate” button on the parade website – manzanitaparade.com
The Manzanita Visitors Center is open Thursdays through Mondays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The 4th of July parade steps off at 1 p.m. Thursday, July 4th from Laneda Ave. and Division Street.

I’m personally an advocate for immigrants here locally. I just thought it might be educational for those of us who’s doom scrolling has clouded our memories. The establishment democrats (and republicans) are playing a game with us where we are but pawns in a billionaire’s racket.
Hegelian dialectic: Problem/Reaction/Solution
Dem establishement creates the “surge”, naturally problems will arise in communities unable to handle such a surge, chaos ensues (and wages conveniently suppressed across the board), and now the Trump wagon rolls in to implement the technocratic biometric real-time all-seeing-eye of a surveillance system (a la Palantir etc.) as the solution.
The “Biden” administration couldn’t quite get their “Covid vaccine card” (to track your monthly bio-compliance) biometric tracking system in place for the bilionaire technocrats, so they create a “problem” that Trump can conveniently find a “solution” to. And they get to rip our communities down the middle as a bonus.
Technocracy incoming. Bipartisan cooperation. How exemplary.
The revolution will not be televised, let alone promoted 24/7 like this current “no kings” pied piperism. Mean’t to divide us and keep us from coming together on CLASS ISSUES against the Oligarchs. Divide and rule indeed.
The revolution will be local and it will be face to face building community with those very neighbors that the corporate press is goading us to hate.
Don’t be a hater.

Maybe
Maybe you were on the street,
Raised placard in your arms,
Maybe your feet were on the ground,
Your longing lifted with clear intention,
Maybe you had had enough,
Like others, you had begun to ask
How you could offer shelter, perhaps
an attic, out building, or basement,
Maybe you had begun to remember
The life-giving power in non-violent action.
Witness to the flowering of hope,
You are alive, free, and not alone.

12k European Gold Miner’s Cut (hand cut and one of a kind), est. 1/3 ct. (although due to height, it may be more – it is not certified). Sits in a high-profile position with ornate filigree design. The ring is size 6 and platinum-dipped. The center stone is round in a detailed square setting, which highlights and accentuates the size, dimension, and sparkle..
This style ring is known as a “candlelight ring.” The Miner’s Cut is designed to catch and enhance low light. The photos do not do it justice; it is truly gorgeous. The European gold was dipped in platinum in the mid-70s and remains in pristine condition. It was professionally cleaned and inspected in May of 2025. It has been in my family since the early 1900s. Price is $3500 OBO. Serious inquiries only, meet up and exchange in a secure location. For those of you who like a back story, please read below.
As I mentioned, this ring has been in my family for over one hundred years. I’m also going to say the quiet part out loud and let you know this diamond is chock-full of conflict because “lab-created” didn’t exist back then.
My kin hails from West Virginia, and it was given to my maternal great-aunt in the 1920s by her betrothed ,who subsequently left her at the altar. Details are scarce because (I’m pretty sure) the entire story is considered a “skeleton,” one I was not privy to before my mother passed away. What I do know is that shortly thereafter, my great-aunt was committed to a mental institution and retained residency there off and on until her death (more than likely, just for being a “sad, cantankerous” woman, as was tradition at the time).
The ring’s history for the next 20 years is omitted from the annals; my theory is that it was recapitulating its sorcery after absorbing the calamity it bestowed upon my great-aunt. My maternal grandmother, her niece, did not wear it while married to my grandfather, although she did pass away relatively young. Bequeathed to my mother in 1960, she went against the mohair grain of 70s fashion trends and opted to wear this as her engagement ring in 1971. Alas, unknowingly, once it had a taste for relationship destruction, it could not lie dormant for long. We can blame young, ephemeral love, but I know the truth. Perhaps not fully understanding the ring’s potency, or perhaps blinded by extraneous and confounding variables, she gave it one more shot in 1978. I’m sure you can extrapolate what happened. Because it was her favorite marriage, although not the one that produced me, I won’t besmirch the memory.
Its sole purpose over the last 5 decades was to enhance my dress-up and play experience with my mom’s vintage wears, of which I still lovingly partake. A quick reminder that “you don’t stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing,” and I advise that you throw on a fancy dress or costume as often as you can.
My mother passed away in 2013, and I’m her only child. I’m also a (social) scientist, and part of the reason I’m selling this is because I’m in my second year of grad school, and funds are very tight. I understand that correlation does not equal causation, and I also understand the law of averages. Harkening to my mother’s bohemian spirit, I, too, did not see the point of my partner spending 3 months’ salary on a ring when I had this stunning heirloom in storage. I rolled my eyes at the childhood talks of legends of curses and donned it in January 2024 after my Christmas engagement. But as I sit here and contemplate my failed engagement, generational curses, and how best to break the cycle for my progeny, while also attaining my master’s degree, the answer is clear: my loss is your gain.
Who should buy this ring:
– Collector
– Vintage Enthusiast
– Someone being pressured to propose who wants to let the powers that be make the decision for them
– Someone who wants to propose with a STUNNER of a ring and impress their betrothed’s whole family and friend group
– Grown-up Goth Girl
– 25+ Anniversary Gift
Who should NOT buy this ring:
-Anyone without cash or verified funds on hand
-Anyone asking to pay less than the listed price without an amazing offer
-Anyone asking to meet up in a private location or using someone else’s digital banking information
– Anyone with possible kin in Elkins, West Virginia, on the “Gilbert” side (just trying to protect you)

What happened to this sensibility during the last four years of unprecedented illegal immigration surging across our border?
Here is Biden ENCOURAGING folks to ILLEGALLY surge across our border. I say this was an impeachable offense:, and a HUGE reason Trump won:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYwLYMPLYbo
And then BIden’s denial: (note WH reporter pool, six-feet apart and wearing masks. We now know that was a psyop from the CDC/Big Farma/Big Banks, not science.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RFsOWnnCeE
And now we have all this nasty deportation stuff that most of us KNEW WAS GONNA HAPPEN. THE IMMIGRANTS ARE GUINEA PIGS. THERE WAS NO COMPASSION INVOLVED WHEN THE BIDEN ADMIN LET THEM VIOLATE OUR BORDER! ENCOURAGED THEM TO “SURGE THE BORDER” EVEN. THE ELITE DEMS WORK WITH THEIR ELITE GOP FRIENDS TO DO THE BIDDING OF THE CIA-crowd, who in turn do the bidding of the billionaire class/bankers; THEY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE MIGRANTS. THEY ARE PAWNS TO THEM!
And here is long-form on how Biden’s Homeland security dept., American NGOs, and Israeli NGOs worked to funnel millions of illegals through the treacherous jungle known as The Darien Gap in Panama and then illegally into America:

SUPER DUPER IMPORTANT BONUS!!!!!!!!!!!!
And here is another angle on why the billionaires opened our borders as part of their divide and conquer operation (which is very much working). Other than the depressed wages that benefit the Koch Bros. types (chicken farms, etc.), this seems to be at the core of this issue for the super elite:
rumble.com/v6ukgjd-trumps-ice-crackdowns-are-a-deep-state-psyop.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp
Wherever one stands on the issue, it must be admitted that if we had our borders CLOSED like an actual sovereign country, if we only allowed legal immigration as per the law, we wouldn’t be in this nasty mess.
