Moral injury often hides in plain sight.
It lives in those moments when you knew something felt wrong, but speaking up didn’t feel safe, possible, or allowed. Today’s reflection isn’t about blame or regret. It’s about honoring the part of you that noticed.

I saw someone refer to 47 as PINO on another platform and I’ve decided to adopt it because, well, it fits. The PINO and all his RINOs are definitely giving ‘zoo escape.’ 🦏🏃♂️💨

This is one of my favorite times of year. By now my feed is usually filled with info about the cherry blossom festival, but not this year. Peak 🌸 is in 17 days and I hope we’ll get to see some beauty in a town filled with so much ugliness right now. #cherryblossoms #nature

Love this. The “tradition” argument is steeped in white supremacy and tries to push an underlying assumption that things are “normal” or “okay.” And let’s be real - nothing about what happening is normal or okay. Good for @michelleobama - a true embodiment of moral courage.

As we individually and collectively navigate multiple challenges in this moment, I invite you to think about how praciting hope can be far more impactful than optimism or positivity.

I’m thrilled to share that today marked the first day of recording my audiobook. It’s important to pause and acknowledge moments of joy and celebration like this one, that arise even in times of challenge. Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey—it means more than you know. 🩵
