View from above Seattle Center during the No Kings March, October 18 2025. Beautiful orange and green fall colors on trees and thousands of people out to save express their love of democracy by marching.

This is what democracy looks like. #seattle #nokingsmarch

As we embrace the new Apple AirPods' real time AI translation feature, remember the importance of learning a language (profound and lasting benefits for the brain). The process and struggle of learning benefits us holistically. My 89 year old father speaks 5 languages and is as sharp as a tack!

Remembering Virginia Giuffre Daughter, Sister, Mother, Survivor, and Fierce Advocate

Virginia Giuffre fought for survivors until the day she died.
Her abusers still walk free. Her story must be told.
Honor her life by making sure the world hears it.

Painting flowers and spending time in nature brings me joy. What is your current creative outlet? And what would you love to try, and haven’t yet? I’m not solving the world’s problems as I paint, just staying focused and calm. Fear is a weapon. What’s your tool to combat it? 🌱 #echinacea #watercolor

Hand painted watercolor by Lisa Anderson of local berries: raspberries, blackberry, cherry and strawberry.

I recommend reading Robin Wall Kimmerer’s new book The Serviceberry while snacking on local berries - I promise you will be inspired! It’s about abundance and reciprocity in the natural world. Studying nature, as Robin does, allows us to understand how all flourishing can be mutual. #theserviceberry

This is oligarchy. This is obscene.

While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.

End this oligarchy.

Very fascinating! It seems to me that AI tools like ChatGPT could effectively reframe key issues. I can also imagine an app being developed to apply this research and science to target specific demographics. Also, I'm curious whether the brain can be conditioned to become more 'liberal’.

Infograph listing the top countries whose bankruptcies are caused by medical expenses: US, Canada, Australia and the UK.

Infograph listing the top countries whose bankruptcies are caused by medical expenses: US, Canada, Australia and the UK.

Accuracy matters more than ever, and so does siting your source. Its gratifying to share infographics that represent our views, but to convince those that aren’t open to change, we must do the work to show evidence and proof. Here is what I found worldpopulationreview.com/country-rank...

South Memphis is choking while Elon Musk’s AI company cuts corners.

xAI’s massive supercomputer burns so much energy that local utilities can’t keep up so they installed 35 methane gas turbines right in the heart of a neighborhood already suffering from toxic air.
