Do you have something to tell the world?

This space is for anyone in the community to sound off about something. Perhaps you're fired up about a topic, wish to publish a poem, or want to confess to the world something. I'll give you 100-200 words to say whatever you want. I'll let just about anyone say anything, except hate speech. Use your manners; let the world see your best self. I choose each week's on a variety of things, how creative, unique, succinct, and relevant your ideas are.

You may choose to sign your name or stay anonymous. Interested? Here's how you submit.

Have a free event, resource, cheapskate tip, or questions about placing an ad?          

Hi I'm Taryn, your friendly local publisher. Out of all the SEO in the planet, I wanted to do this because I felt excluded by the media who charge overpriced advertising and listed events I could never afford as a working class adult. So I created a site that detours even cheap events under 5 bucks and listed all the free things to do in Greater Portland.

I need financial support to keep going- who doesn't, right? Care to donate to support my vision or buy a classified or standard ad for $10 bucks?

This week from the Editor's Desk

​

Welcome to the premier edition of the Portland Cheat Sheet. Although I've had the idea for the last 15 years, I finally decided to launch it in 2020. Then the Corona virus hit. Around February, I was still designing this site to reflect all the free events around Portland. Now it's June and there isn't as much before I started. So I've curated a page of all the free local resources around here. For the time being, we will have reduced listings and check out our free resources page. If you have any resources, fill out our online form. 

Take care,

Taryn B.
