Marking another trip around the sun today. It’s also Ash Wednesday, an important reminder that all things are temporary. Dust to dust. Ash Wednesday feels especially fitting for a birthday celebration in NYC, where time moves fast, but memories of my past life here linger.

Saying there are only 2 genders is as silly as saying there’s only black and white, but no grays. Gender is a spectrum and there are as many genders as we have words to describe them. How many shades of gray are there? As many as we can name and then some more. Same with gender. 🏳️‍⚧️

My name sounds way too similar to the Māori greeting (Kia Ora) that I keep whipping my head around at the start of every airport announcement in Auckland. 🫢

The pie-in-the-face moment was a brilliant example of political speech . It mirrored the ridiculousness of Bryant’s anti-gay advocacy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tHG...

This is great! The Supreme Court is implementing a pilot program for the public to apply for Courtroom seating through an online lottery. Lottery winners get reserved seating for a particular argument. www.supremecourt.gov/publicinfo/p...

Personally I would be more willing to pay for a social media website that made protecting marginalized people a core part of its business than one that offers them up as bait for bigots. That's my preference

Honolulu Magazine’s “Best Lawyers in Hawaii 2025” has been released, and I am honored to have been recognized for my work in Land Use and Zoning Law. I love helping clients align their development goals with cultural and environmental values. The best part? I get to do it at home in Hawaii.

Drivel. Leaving X is a form of free speech. There is no moral requirement to continue to line the pockets of someone you politically oppose and who wants to ensconce himself into the apparatus of the state. Purity politics is nominating a FBI head who promises punish political opponents and media.

That’s rich coming from a place where the changing of the place guard takes 45 minutes to walk 100 feet in perfectly synchronized steps while wearing two-foot-tall bearskin hats.

Allegedly straight Republicans are really, really, really obsessed with male genitalia and LGBTQ sex. It's...slightly disturbing. But I don't want to shame.

We must pass disaster aid. Maui people have been waiting for more than a year, and millions of people across the country in more than 20 states are desperate for help. This is a core responsibility of the federal government. Let’s get it done.
