As an architect and AIA member, I am embarassed that half of the credits for this "Ethics for Professionals" course package are on the topic of "Harassment & Discrimination Prevention." I'd like to think that our profession has a bigger duty than simply to...not violate employment laws.
🇺🇸 America is an idea, and I believe part of that idea can be winning this game! 🇺🇸 Go U.S.A.!
(If you zoom way in) I made the Seattle Times coverage of the State Democratic Convention!
A former student of mine spoke on the floor of the Convention about one of the resolutions! #washDems
America, let’s win this midterm election and make Representative Pramila Jayapal the Chair of the House Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement. She would be excellent, and the first naturalized citizen to serve on that role. #washdems
Did you know that, 14 members, Washington has the largest Black Legislative Caucus west of the Mississippi? #washDems
It’s a beautiful day to fly across the state for the Washington Democratic Convention!

I am holding down the front corner picnic table at QED and awaiting the arrival of the Complete Communities Bus!
It all came together great! The aji Amarillo sauce helped jazz everything up. And the mister bought a bottle of Pisco, so I made Chicano cocktails, too. #eatTheWorldAtoZ

No ownership is listed in the county tax files, so I assume it’s public right of way, caused by the extreme topography.
I live very near this little leftover piece of land that has a dope view of the sound, and I’ve often thought about rogue installing a bench there myself. Do you have more legit plans or ideas? I’m in.
You know you’re getting g old when your friends are in a punk rock band that is playing a show starting at 4:00pm. (I love it.)
