I walked through the Denver International Airport yesterday and came across an art exhibit called “Lines of Continuance,” curated by Steven J Yazzie, comprised of works of art created by multiple Indigenous artists. I agree with the following description taken from FlyDenver.com:

“Too often, Indigenous peoples and cultures are portrayed as belonging to the past, tethered to fixed places or preserved in static images, textbooks and museum dioramas.” — www.flydenver.com/press-release/denver-international-airport-opens-group-exhibition-reflecting-on-the-contemporary-indigenous-experience/.

Indigenous people are here, today. Everywhere, today. Let’s remember the past … the not-too-distant past … and embrace the present day.

Today we honor the first peoples of this land and celebrate the cultures, traditions, and communities that continue to thrive.

May we listen more, learn more, and walk with greater respect.

National Coming Out Day is this Sunday, October 11, 2026!

We had the pleasure of celebrating a few days early at Twin Cities Quorum‘s National Coming Out Day Luncheon today, and we couldn’t be more proud to participate in such a celebration.

This Sunday (and every day), be sure to celebrate openness and acceptance, advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, and offer support to those around you.

I played tennis from 7th grade through my sophomore year of college, and I FINALLY made it to the US Open!

Seeing Billie Jean King walk out onto the court was definitely the highlight for me. Plus, US Open Tournament Director, Eric Butorac greeted Roger Federer as he received his International Tennis Hall of Fame ring. Eric’s dad, Tim, coached me throughout my junior high and high school years during the off-season. Eric and his brother, Jeff, were always on the courts, and it was a pleasure to see Eric on the main stage! What wowed me, you ask? Seeing Naomi Osaka’s walkout outfit — she showed up to PLAY!
