I’m watching “Moonstruck” and remembering my roommate Carla. No idea where she landed but sending love. “I don’t care! I ain’t no freaking monument to justice…”

seattletimes.com/seattle-news/l… Please talk to everyone you know about fentanyl. It's bad. Really, really bad. Loads of people are dying. Stop the madness and grief. F+++ the cartels.

My Grandma would’ve been 97 if she’d lived. I miss her so much. She believed in me long before I believed in me. Sara Staats. She was awesome. I hope I do her proud.

MLK Day 2014. It’s been nine years since I heard, “you have breast cancer.” I thought I’d be dead by now. But I’m not. Rock on. Love to Lornet & everyone who hasn’t survived.

Heartbreaking. I fear more stories like this are to come with no end in sight to the fentanyl crisis. seattletimes.com/seattle-news/l…

I’m so over old white men, even though I still love some old white men. It’s a small group.

Yeah, I reported it first. seattletimes.com/seattle-news/l…

Love you, Hal. You’re brilliant and wonderful.

I don't often get to write happy stories on my beat so it felt good to witness KCSO Detective David Easterly's sendoff from Harborview today. seattletimes.com/seattle-news/l…

ICYMI: seattletimes.com/seattle-news/l… I'm back from vacation, from seeing my family for the first time since summer 2019. This was the last story published before my trip. I'm still thinking of Eina Kwon.

RIP Robbie Robertson. I remember seeing him dance — dressed all in black! — at his “homecoming” at the Six Nations pow wow. Loved your music and was so proud. Wishing you a good journey.

Halloween and the Sunday after Thanksgiving 2009 are forever embedded in my soul. I remember SPD Officer Tim Brenton & The Lakewood Four. 14 years ago. RIP.

I got a $50 check from the state AGO for overpaying for canned tuna. And $50 from my Mom, because she loves me. I spent it all on ass cushions.

Mary Rothchild, Nick Provenza, John de Leon, Diana Samuels, Jim Ryan — I’ve been blessed many times over with great editors. Wishing all of you a very Happy New Year! Thank you for shaping me into the journalist I am. I love you all.

#Survivor Four survivors with idols voted out consecutively. Not one idol played. Dumbest season ever. Bah!

Huge news! I don’t know why Mike Carter isn’t getting more love. Incredible reporting. seattletimes.com/seattle-news/l…
