Marking another trip around the sun today. It’s also Ash Wednesday, an important reminder that all things are temporary. Dust to dust. Ash Wednesday feels especially fitting for a birthday celebration in NYC, where time moves fast, but memories of my past life here linger.

Saying there are only 2 genders is as silly as saying there’s only black and white, but no grays. Gender is a spectrum and there are as many genders as we have words to describe them. How many shades of gray are there? As many as we can name and then some more. Same with gender. 🏳️⚧️

My name sounds way too similar to the Māori greeting (Kia Ora) that I keep whipping my head around at the start of every airport announcement in Auckland. 🫢

The pie-in-the-face moment was a brilliant example of political speech . It mirrored the ridiculousness of Bryant’s anti-gay advocacy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tHG...

Personally I would be more willing to pay for a social media website that made protecting marginalized people a core part of its business than one that offers them up as bait for bigots. That's my preference

Honolulu Magazine’s “Best Lawyers in Hawaii 2025” has been released, and I am honored to have been recognized for my work in Land Use and Zoning Law. I love helping clients align their development goals with cultural and environmental values. The best part? I get to do it at home in Hawaii.

Drivel. Leaving X is a form of free speech. There is no moral requirement to continue to line the pockets of someone you politically oppose and who wants to ensconce himself into the apparatus of the state. Purity politics is nominating a FBI head who promises punish political opponents and media.
“Leaving X because you don’t like Elon is the kind of purity politics that landed Democrats in this mess to begin with.”
Democrats Face an Existential Crisis on X
Conversations with a dozen insiders point to a party that is unsure about whether to leave or engage with the increasingly MAGA platform.
