No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."
When the Seahawks needed a critical catch in the NFC Championship game they turned to... the best WR in LA Rams history.
Before Super Bowl LX, I wrote about Yakima's own Cooper Kupp and his journey from 0-star recruit to EWU legend to Super Bowl MVP to Seahawk.

A lone seabird stands on a weathered concrete edge near a pier, its dark silhouette clearly defined against a pale sky and calm water, emphasizing form, balance, and stillness.
A lone bird near the pier, stripped down to shape and posture against a simple background. Coastal stillness, held in place for a moment.
If scenes like this slow you down, sharing it helps it travel.

I stand with County Executive Calvin Ball as he signs emergency legislation today prohibiting privately owned buildings from being used as ICE detention centers.
Howard County chose dignity, accountability, and its people. Tune into our event now:

In a democracy, we are supposed to feel like we have control over our lives because the people control the government.
But in the U.S., people feel like our lives are out of control because the people don’t control the federal government.

My birthday was nearly two weeks ago and the presents are still rolling in 🥰
A pasture with a coyote by a fence and houses in the distance
Today’s coyote sighting was far in the distance
This first of my most anticipated books of 2026 written by a Filipino author has arrived 😍

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

Name them

Do they all get deported now? Is that how this works?
Yes, it should.
God, a peace prize for the people of Minneapolis would be (1) thoroughly well deserved, and (2) a piece of trolling for the ages.
Any politics academics or members of parliament want to get a nomination in to the committee?
When you're so coked up and stupid you put the scope on backwards:
🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺Steve Witkoff said that Russia, Ukraine, and the United States have agreed on an exchange of 314 prisoners of war.
Scarborough Bay. We visited St Mary's church on that hill shown in the drawing and saw Anne Brontë's grave there.
Had a holiday in #Scarborough, Yorkshire, a decade ago and managed to do some on the spot watercolours and drawings there and in nearby Whitby. Such an inspiring place! I've been recently making winter use of the 100s of photos I took by drawing from them. Here's one in sepia ink of Scarborough Bay.
Democrats have been consistently overperforming. Trump world sees the warning signs.
That doesn’t mean we coast. It means we vote. Show up, flood the polls, and shut down the 2026 midterm games before they start.
Just bolted out of bed and wrote "this is a book about toxic masculinity!!" in my notebook.
“The vaguer Ron Wyden is, the worse things are. And yesterday, Wyden released maybe the vaguest warning I've ever seen him release.
“It's a short letter. It's a letter about a letter. Specifically, it's a letter to CIA Director John Ratcliffe to alert Ratcliffe to a classified letter Wyden…sent.”
I have defined the drawing technique of the talented artist Pepe Ibiza as graphite dust for the incredible ability to use the pencil as if it were a magical watercolor where silk threads compose the delicate and sophisticated figure as is the union of men in love...
A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a purple winged dragon flying against a sunset sky and over a forest. The dragon’s scales are outlined with white. Their back is to the viewer. Their wings are dark purple, spread wide, their head is at the center top of the page, and their tail is sweeping from the left side and around to the right at the bottom of the page. Highlights from the sun run along the upper line of the tail and edges of the wings. Legs are mostly hidden against/behind the body and wings. The forest is dark green with lighter green highlights, and the sky is yellow and orange.

Finished! I like it a lot better now I’ve fixed the wings. And the light. And the background. And… no, I’m good. 😁💜💜💜
This started with an Anton Seder lizard, went through Art Deco design, slid by bat wings, and became a dragon.
DOJ is apparently taking all this time & violating the Transparency Act deadline in order to protect criminals, not the victims.
