I am 56. I wander the Earth. I now call Portland, OR, my home. There is so much to explore in life. To the mountains, prairies, and high desert. Across the seas and into the depth of the oceans. Outward to the stars. Full of life and peoples.

Corporate spending on elections has already topped $500 million this year.
That's one third of the $1.58 billion in total that corporations have spent since Citizens United in 2010.
Hawaii and Montana both have plans to neutralize this disastrous SCOTUS ruling.
Other states must get on board.

Who was saying that CC wasn’t the best player on her team?
Caitlin Clark had the first 40-point game of her three-year career while helping rally the Fever to a 110-107 victory.
Caitlin Clark bounces into record books with 45 points and 10 assists
Caitlin Clark seemed “bouncy” to Indiana coach Stephanie White before the Fever faced the Seattle Storm.
