Kevin Kiley is running to pass a national abortion ban. If he wins, he'll take away the medical choices of millions of California women. We can't turn back the clock. Join me and support Jessica Morse. Let's regain a pro-choice majority in the U.S. House. bit.ly/3R1EQBT

I believe this so wholeheartedly. We can't let others' opinions about what we should do or who we should be be louder than our own sense of who we are and what we want in life.

My questions for myself (and for you): Why is it that I feel the need to do so many things at once? What would it be like if I were to more intentionally do less? What would that bring for me–and my loved ones? nytimes.com/2024/03/11/wel…

Thank you, Harvey Milk. 🌈❤️

Take a deep breath. Unclench your jaws. Have a sip of water.

Research shows that 'pro-social behavior'–a category of actions that center helping others without being asked and without any expectation of reward–raises our happiness levels more than actions that are about treating ourselves. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

I spent too many years thinking that if I didn't do it now–if I didn't already learn it, accomplish it, or reach that one milestone *right now*, then I was already too late. Now I know that I have time to grow into the person that I want to be. Thanks, Lisa Congdon!

As someone who spent a good part of my life searching for belonging, I know that finding it can be as simple as spending intentional time in what's called a 'third place' – any communal space or setting you frequent outside of home and work/school. vox.com/the-highlight/…

Our local public radio statiom KQED just announced the goodies you get if you donate $800 a month. Let's just say it's a whole lot more than a tote bag.

It took me a really long time to learn that there is no right track. There is only the particular path that is right for you, right now. Anyone else?

White supremacists spewed their bile at the City of Palo Alto Council meeting again, including anti-Jew & anti-Gay language, and the N-word. So we updated our handbook to disallow Zoom for public comment on items not on the agenda. They're of course welcome to show up in person.

I'm looking forward to joining Ruth Whippman to discuss her brilliant new book in a few weeks. Hope you can join us! Register: bit.ly/4byOFPJ

Happy Friday! Sharing this as I think we could all probably use the reminder heading into the weekend.

'When there’s always a new ideal to strive toward, a new workout to try, a new home renovation project, a new way to hack bodily functions, it can be hard to feel adequate, sufficient, enough.' Well, that hit the nail on the head. vox.com/the-highlight/…

An incredible thing happened to me this weekend. I was invited me to receive an honorary degree and give the commencement address Univ. of Puget Sound. It all meant so much. Here's the full text of my address (and a link to watch it in full!): bit.ly/44EvTnS

'No' is a complete answer. One more time for the people in the back!
