Remember when rape, child rape and murder were collectively thought of as evil pretty much with everyone? I miss those days.
On #IndigenousPeoplesDay I spent quiet time in the forests of Vashon Island — once the land of the sx̌ʷəbabš, the Swift Water People. We can’t heal what we refuse to face. Remember the truth. Honor the people who were here first. 🌿 #Decolonize #LandBack
Spent 4 days immersed in Fox News and I’m honestly still reeling. It’s not just spin—it’s an alternate reality, designed to keep viewers trapped. I have a new Substack all about it. Read here: tinyurl.com/54sw4bww #media #foxnews #disinformation

"Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way." ~ Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning #fullmoon #vashon #vashonisland #attitude
Attorney General Bondi signed this memo, available on the DOJ website that legalizes the execution of any illegal immigrant with no crime. This is insane. This will happen at Guantanamo where the world cannot see. And WTF is the reference to "Indian Country"? I guess we are 1855 now.
In this time of democratic collapse, I wanted to take inventory of what I stand for. Its not an inclusive list, but this is what rolled off my fingers. These are some of my beliefs. We are in a fight. Looking away is not an option. I want to know what you stand for too. #humanrights
I bought this shirt two years ago - long before the election. These things have been percolating for decades and got legs in 2016. There is a full blown fascist regime present now trying to destroy everything the Constitution stands for. #fascism #democracy #freedom #humanrights
Thank you for your wisdom and words as always @marwilliamson.bsky.social #stopfascism #fightfascism #mariannewilliamson
The new Seattle waterfront is pretty spectacular. There used to be a two level freeway running on the waterfront dividing it from Pike Place Market. It was removed in 2019 and the results are amazing! #seattle #waterfront #pacificnorthwest #pnw #pikeplacemarket #travel
She's majestic. She's tattooed on my arm. When the weather is good around here, we say "the mountain is out". Bluebird day that felt more like May than mid Jan. Along her side was Mt St Helen's and Mt Adams. Spectacular! #mtrainier #mountrainier #pacificnorthwest #paradise #pnw #washingtonstate

"What have you been doing to stay busy?" I heard this American colloquialism during small talk over the holidays and it really struck me as so American and so wrong.
Hi everybody, I'm Jeff from Seattle Wa, currently Vashon Island. Just putting this to pin so people who follow know who I am. I'm very blue, believe deeply in human rights and am here to fight fascist narcissistic dicks. I am also really opening my world to understanding the universe & the real me.
I haven't watched a more relevant documentary on humanity as "The Work" in a long time. It follows a group therapy program between hard core criminals and outside participants. What you witness is the story of humanity. Watching this movie reaffirmed my conviction that humanity is good at the core.
