Hexatekin (talk) 22:20, 1 March 2024 (UTC) I don't live in Portland, but I used to intern at the Oregon Jewish Museum archive on a work study during college and also co-led early Art+Feminism work, so this is a cool full circle moment for me, and you have my support from afar![reply]
Just got the watchlist notice, so putting down my name tentatively in case I can find time in my schedule. I'm not super familiar with this topic area, but I hope to fix that at the event! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 06:11, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
