Coastal Series: Part I (Washington State)
Washington does not introduce its coastline. It lets you find it... There’s no sudden reveal, no postcard moment engineered for the windshield. The coast arrives gradually, in pieces... Through rain-darkened trees, through logging towns that never rebranded themselves, through long stretches of road where the radio fades, and the sky lowers itself closer to the ground.

A Life in the Crossfire: Remembering Renee Nicole Good After a Minneapolis ICE Shooting. AI-Generated.
The call that came into Minneapolis emergency dispatchers on the afternoon of February 15, 2023, was, tragically, not uncommon. A woman was reportedly in distress, behaving erratically, and possibly armed with a knife near the city's Little Earth community. The response that unfolded, however, would end a life and ignite yet another complex debate about law enforcement, mental health, and the people who slip through the cracks of both systems. That woman was 35-year-old Renee Nicole Good.

Bracing Beauty
The Quiet Vitality of a Winter Landscape Winter is often portrayed as a season of sleep, a time when the natural world retreats into a state of suspended animation. However, to stand in the middle of a snow-covered forest is to realize that winter is actually a season of intense, focused vitality. It is a period defined by the unique relationship between the cold, the terrain, and the water that binds them together.

Driving from North to South in Portugal
When my friends and I decided to book a trip to Portugal, we had a hard time choosing where we wanted to go. The choice between a city trip in Porto or Lisbon, or spending a week at the beach in Algarve was a hard one to make. Instead, we decided to cover it all. Cities, small fishing villages, and many opportunities for swimming in the atlantic ocean. We spent 10 days in Portugal and we visited in September. I recommend bringing warmer clothes alongside your swimgear and summer clothes at this time of year. Below you'll find our itinerary with tips and tricks along the way.

Rissani Morocco Souk History
I didn’t arrive in Rissani expecting much. After days of driving through southeastern Morocco, it felt like just another quiet town near the desert. No crowds, no souvenir shops, no signs pointing to “must-see attractions.” But the moment I stepped into the souk, I realized I had walked into something far older and more meaningful than I anticipated.
