I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.

This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

If it took 8 days to build a massive concentration camp in Florida then it means they could build and house the homeless at any point but choose not to

Happy Bloomsday, all!

No official Seattle doings from my quarter this year, alas. But stay tuned for 2026!

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.
I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.
It's mind-blowing how little attention this extraordinary statement has received. It's briefly mentioned in a couple news articles, but this MSNBC opinion piece is the only extended discussion of it I've seen: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

My friend Ben Hillman is producing a No Kings Day Live protest video which will air on 6/14. They’re looking for volunteers from all over the country to make very short videos of local protests, with descriptions of the mood and scale of the scene, which will become part of the nationwide video.

I'm admittedly biased. I mean, I quote the song on the second page of my book THE STARTING GATE, but hear me out: the most Fleetwood Mac song of all (not the BEST, but the Most Fleetwood Mac) is "Hold Me."

(I have the receipts.)

“Giant sequoias, the biggest plants, have tiny seeds, so small that the ratio of their weight to the weight of the tree is the same as the ratio of the tree to the planet Earth."

Before it was called May Day, it was Beltane—a sacred midpoint in the pre-colonized Irish calendar. Like Imbolc, which falls between the Winter Solstice & Spring Equinox, Beltane sits between Spring Equinox & Summer Solstice. When the boundaries between worlds grow flimsy.

The EPA is firing employees focused on children’s health simply because their job descriptions include DEI. These 10 regional children’s health coordinators have worked closely with schools and local institutions to prevent and address environmental hazards that put kids at risk.

Hey Seattle Show Biz Peeps!

I have a filmmaker friend looking to hire a prop expert to “help create a couple of moderately elaborate pieces” for his next film.

Are you a props generating genius? Or do you know one? If so, DM me and I can put you in touch with my friend. This is a PAYING gig.
