Is Honesty the Best Policy in Relationships? Uh, Sometimes
All 'rules' have exceptions
I know that there is generally an ironclad sentiment that honesty is always best. But I would like to propose a reexamination of that “always” word. Because I think, no matter how much we all want to know the truth about everything, that the absolute truth is sometimes too brutal, and sometimes too destructive, to use or hear…
Publisher’s Note: From Stigma to Science
Seattle is emerging as a leader in using psychedelics for mental health
Right or wrong, psychedelics have long been relegated to the fringes of society, dismissed as dangerous substances with no legitimate medical value.

A New York State of Mind
The Big Apple is a feast for the senses
I love the Northwest, but there’s no place like New York City. Recently, I was there for some meetings. As I walked from one neighborhood to another, taking in the intellectual stimulation and people-watching, I understood the importance of adopting a New York State of Mind, at least occasionally. Let me explain. To begin, all…

Our Favorite New Spring Food Books
A chaotic cook, the Herbfarm, food, and feminism
Spring is the new holiday season, at least when it comes to local authors releasing new food-centric books and cookbooks. This season, they’re raining down on us like cherry blossoms in the UW quad and sprouting up faster than Yakima asparagus.

A Painful Lesson Learned
Regardless of circumstances, when hurt happens open your heart to injured parties
I grew up in a world, or ocean, of systemic white privilege. It’s sometimes hard to see, and sometimes understand, what I haven’t experienced. I was taught to see racism or misogyny or homophobia only in individual acts of meanness, not in invisible systems conferring dominance on my group.
