Pretty cool: @florangelad on stage with author @valeria.luiselli on the big stage for @seattleartsandlectures.

To the leaders and board members of @shift_jh, as well as the very silent majority of POC "leaders" working on equity and access in the outdoors: While you are either ghosting the many pleas for answers and action or are contemplating the "perfect" response, there are at least 17 victims of trauma who continue to suffer. Why are you prolonging their agony -- and ours? https://medium.com/wont-take-shift-anymore #wonttakeshiftanymore

The most significant mentors of my lifetime drummed into my head that when people of color ascend, the first thing they should do is not celebrate, but reach a hand back -- to help lift others as well. It is in that spirit that I ask not only the leaders and board of @shift_jh, but the silent majority of old-guard POC leaders working on access and equity in the green sector: Where are you? What happened in the Emerging Leaders Program at SHIFT is the biggest crisis I can recall that has hit our young people, not just of color, but including womxn, non-normative, and nonbinary -- the most traditionally and historically abused of all of us. Why aren't more reaching a hand back, asking questions, demanding answers? What good is it to get seats at the table, if those seats are used to prop up organizations and systems that hold the rest of us down? If you want to claim that we are not in possession of all the facts, that we don't know everything that's gone down behind the scenes, I just have one thing to say: Enlighten us. https://medium.com/wont-take-shift-anymore #wonttakeshiftanymore #SHIFTourWayofThinking

To the leadership and board of @shift_jh I believe we need more of an explanation than is contained in your recent letter (part of the package linked below), which seems too pre-emptive and vague for such a serious situation. It's difficult to understand how you all can be so dismissive of 17 people of color who complained of trauma. They deserve the benefit of the doubt until you all provide details on steps that actually were taken. https://medium.com/wont-take-shift-anymore #wonttakeshiftanymore

Police tower casts a shadow over South Seattle Safeway: The tower is an intimidating and unwelcome addition to Rainier Valley, one of the city's most diverse neighborhoods. https://crosscut.com/2019/04/police-tower-casts-shadow-over-south-seattle-safeway 📷: @mattmillsphoto

Going old school to congratulate #JackSikma for an overdue honor. I’m proud to say I’ve covered the careers of two Basketball Hall of Famers, both of whom I liked and admired greatly as people. The other of course is The Glove, @gary.payton.20.

Looking forward to the weekend. The last one had moments like this (Nikon D850, 500mm f/4). #ridgefieldnationalwildliferefuge #wildlifephotography #wildlife #muledeer #nikon
