“ Sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly “ - and sometimes glacially - I’ve stumbled my way to a life I no longer want to lose. I write about grief, Shame, reconciliation, and the long way around to healing after years of getting in my own way.

Barack Obama is back in his role as Democrats’ closer-in-chief. He just cut ads for 24 Senate & gubernatorial campaigns—targeting races where he can help move persuadable voters. At 57% favorability, Obama is the most popular living president. Expect to see much more of him before Election Day. 💙

New piece is up. It's about the photos that kept me tethered to the world for a while. It's also about buttercups, Cheryl Strayed, and my late friend Kate Vita, who taught me that the most important thing you can do in any artistic endeavor is to forget about everyone else and just do it for you.
In November 2014, I left San Francisco the way you leave a house on fire: not because I'd stopped loving it, but because staying had stopped being a choice I got to make. I hadn't filed taxes in two years. My freelance work had thinned to almost nothing, and my landlord raised the rent like a final, indifferent shove. I was, of course, an active participant in my own unraveling, but I wasn't ready to look at that yet. Blaming the landlord was simpler.
Spokane was the sensible move: inexpensive, familiar, full of people who already knew me.
It was also the last place I wanted to be. I told myself I was getting my life back on track, but I was really just bringing the same problem to a colder climate.That winter was dark in the specific way
Spokane winters are dark: the sky goes the color of a bruise sometime in November and doesn't change much until March. I managed to make it to spring, but that didn't feel like any kind of achievement. The sun would peek through the curtains in the morning and I'd stay in bed, doing the math on whether I had the nerve to get up, brush my teeth, be a person for the day.
By that point, the first buttercups had come up through the patches of snow along Latah Creek, small and stupidly bright against everything that was still brown and half-dead. Camera in hand, I found myself looking at those glossy little scraps of yellow and landing on something between an idea and a plan.
One good picture, I told myself. Just try to take one good picture today.

We need more politicians like Pete, who not only see the problems, but also has ideas to fix them. I was accused of "ageism" when I said the old guard needs to step down. It's not about age, it's about the attitude of going along to get along, of being tone deaf to the times we're living in, etc.

A Florida “Deputy of the Year” resigned after an investigation found he used Flock cameras to track his ex, put a gun in his girlfriend’s mouth during sex, used racial slurs and apparently gave a Nazi salute. This seems to have been the final straw for Flock in Florida.

It’s not “an oil deal with Venezuela.” It’s Trump kidnapping an autocrat, refusing to hold elections, then leaving the remainder of the regime in place but only if they allow him to pillage their natural resources, which they are doing to remain in power oppressing the people.

There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.
