In a room of giant murals, two stood out. “Funky Figures” by Jennifer Mercede and “Vultures and Zopilotes” by Casillas Oliver.

Seth Nehil’s “Chromesthesia” is immersive rooms with a single color light source and paired music.

Barbara Syrenka’s “Rainbow Cave” is a plexiglass maze like a fun hour mirror room. Etched art in the panes reveal animated lights on their top edge. All of the messages were positive and inclusive.

Y’all. I was quiet over the holidays because I was struggling with my mental health.

Today I’m still in it, but I got a big lift. Some joy amid the darkness.

For Christmas my family got me an experience at an interactive museum called Hopscotch. They took me today.

It was exactly what I needed. Life felt good for a minute.

I compiled some clips/images (video has flashing lights).

anyone want to come to https://www.crowdsupply.com/events/2025/12/12/hacker-holiday-party-2025 with me?

Any other cheap/free ideas for how to spend the evening?

@foundseed @jamey - not sure if either of you would be into it?

(fwiw, there's an outdoor area that is usually accessible for ducking out and consuming food and drink not-indoors)

Looking for more places I can meet up with people outdoors in the rainy season in #portland. I want the outdoor space to be ventilated, and ideally have outdoor heaters. Lists often list places like Laurelhurst Market, but their tent is completely enclosed. The Asylum cart pod is a good place, The Fireside in NW is pretty good if the wind is coming from the south. Other suggestions #pdx folks?
