According to Jeff Mapes of The Oregonian, the Oregon Legislature today passed the " $855 million rebalancing plan." This plan includes taking "$1.8 million out of the Oregon Cultural Trust's account to help balance the budget." This money was generated from sale of the Culture license plates.
Shame on them.

Creative Adventurer: I'm a writer who can often be found in cafes at odd hours with a latte and a laptop (during the pandemic my living room replaces the cafe), or with pen and paper in the car between gigs (alone time in the car still happens, the in-person gigs are on hold). I'm a sign language interpreter whose passion is performance interpreting, which integrates years of theatrical experience, creativity, and interpreting (all of which is virtual during the pandemic). I am also a writing facilitator and peer editor, performance interpreting mentor, and performance & literary event interpreting coordinator.

This space was originally used to share various Contact Improv videos. I decided to widen the range of shared videos beyond CI, which will continue to be included, I'm sure.
This video is from Deaf rapper, Wawa. He is an amazing artist and, as he likes to say: Sho Sum Luv! You can see more about him and his music at Wawa's World
"A gift for YOU! I pick this song to celebrate my birthday and celebrate with YOU! It’s not the best of ASL but, DANG, I was feelin this song! I feel this song should be a world wide anthem ."
this simply infuriates me. and if another non-art-related trust was being misappropriated like this, i'd still be mad.
