Just finished a 6-week Watercoloring Butterflies & Moths class with Robin Bundi at North Seattle College Continuing Education. Loved it! If you’ve been wanting to paint watercolors—even if you’re a total beginner—check out Robin’s classes for Winter 2026. conted.northseattle.edu

Surviving capitalism is an act of creativity.
Navigating microaggressions, making ends meet, and building systems of care & support where there are none all require a type of creativity we don't even acknowledge.

Many days can be made better if we pause, breathe, and enjoy the present moment.

I think we under-estimate how many people are miserable because they have no enthusiasms, no hobbies, because they gave up reading and quit learning when school ended. It's shocking how much studying a beloved subject elevates your mood. It will transform your life.

If you want to push back against tech's encroachment into every corner of our lives, you have to read books. They're eager to create a future in which most people are illiterate and hooked on slop, a world without imagination or knowledge. Reading is resistance.

Enjoy the present. So easy to say, harder to do. But for a day, every time you think about the past or the future, stop yourself and bring yourself gently back to the present. See how you feel by the end of the day. It makes a difference.

Agree with this 💯 %!
Reading for pleasure has fallen by 40 percent since 2000. This is not progress. You should read because it's good for your brain, your soul. You should read because our freedoms will not long endure in a post-literate world. Most of all, you should read because it's fun.

Truth! This needs to be taught and spread throughout the U.S.
In the US, at least, a lot of systemic ills are presented as individual failures.
Sometimes what actually needs healing is our society. #spiritchat

Learning in school is not enough. You must continue to teach yourself throughout your life. Study history, read myths, memorize poems, get acquainted with the greatest philosophers & writers. In an age when tech is cooking many brains, we need an army of autodidacts.
