I often wake up with a clever thought, write it down and go back to sleep. Last night’s: They’re only magic mushrooms if they’re grown in a magic forest. Otherwise they’re just sparkling fungi. ✨🍄‍🟫

Just got back from my annual solo camping trip and this might have been the best one yet! 🖌️ I let my creativity flow... writing and making art. 💪 I feel powerful... building fires, being in the woods alone at night. 😴 I get true rest... taking naps, relaxing in the sun. Nothing heals like nature 💚

I made this graphic for the article I published in Forbes about companies pulling back from their performative Pride displays. These are just 10 of the 100s of companies that stopped waving rainbows & sponsoring Pride events when political pressure scared them off. www.forbes.com/sites/rebeka...

The only thing more disappointing that performative allyship is rescinded performative allyship. Sadly, that's what we're seeing this Pride Month, as corporate brands that once touted support for the LGBTQ+ community are backing down. I wrote about it in @forbes.com www.forbes.com/sites/rebeka...

Agree… young gen-X-er here to claim my SATC and JNCOs 🙋🏻‍♀️

Me: “I have so much work to get done!” Also me: “…right after I get done interrogating this bunny.” 🕵🏻‍♀️🐰

Something that's been heavy on my mind: most of the folks that have lost jobs due to AI-driven efficiencies and have been out there trying to find similar roles... aren't going to find them. I wrote about this + possible pivots in my latest @forbes.com article. www.forbes.com/sites/rebeka...

First yard aerial of the season 🌞🌿 #aerialarts #aerialsilks #aerialist

I just jumped on trampolines for an hour and a half and didn’t pee my pants 😅 Ask me anything!

Just published my first ever personal essay… on being a baseball mom ⚾️ Thanks for sharing it, @goodmenproject.bsky.social goodmenproject.com/featured-con...

I just asked my kid to fill my wine glass, and he filled it with half rosé and half chicken broth, and two things: 1. I’m pretty sure this is some kind of metaphor for motherhood 2. I’m starting a new high-protein wine business – ripe berries with a poultry finish – and it’s going to kill it!

When the world is in flames… make art. It’s fine. I’ll be showing this piece in the Basecamp Studios Itty Bitty art show, where all the art is <6”. Opening tomorrow night at the Belltown art walk… come by if you’re in Seattle! Made with my @glowforge.bsky.social + crocheting ✨🧶

My friend, Forbes columnist, and all-around inspiring person, @rebekah.bsky.social, has written a piece on the implications of a planetary brain as described in #GaiaWakes on professional leadership and workplace culture. What a fun interview to respond to! www.forbes.com/sites/rebeka...

What does leadership look like in a future that is driven by (not just assisted by) AI? I talked with the author of upcoming book Gaia Wakes, @tophermcd.bsky.social, about how today’s leaders can prepare for this future in my latest @forbes.com piece. www.forbes.com/sites/rebeka...

My 11 yo: Lisa Simpson is the most famous Simpson in the world, other than the moaning. Me: the moaning? Him: The Moaning Lisa.

Hey, where are all the Glowforge crafters, makers, artists and educators here? 👀 We want to follow you!

Well, here’s the silliest press I’ve ever been in… while looking through Qwoted media queries for work, I responded to a call for women who like weed 😂 Happy 4.20… here’s to destigmatizing individual choices! www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/a-...

Visiting my parents, and my digital-native 13 year old is looking at the newspaper on their table… “So they have to make a new one of these every day?!”

Seattle friends, are you around Saturday night? As part of the Ballard Art Walk, my husband's vintage furniture gallery, Sparklebarn, is throwing an opening party for a new collection of food-themed art. I made a couple of pieces that are included in it too 🍔🍝 You should come by!

I've been thinking (and feeling) a lot about the impacts that AI is having on our jobs. As a tech exec, I'm blown away by the power of AI in my and my teams' work. As an artist & writer, I worry about how our work is seen and valued. I wrote about this in Forbes: www.forbes.com/sites/rebeka...

Seattle friends, you should come to this art opening at Sparklebarn during the Ballard Art Walk next Saturday the 12th. I have a piece being shown in it, and there will be rad art and music all around!

I’m surprised Meta would want to unethically train their LLM with Blaze Your Own Trail… it’s severely lacking in masculine energy! 🫠 (From @theatlantic.com LibGen database)

I went to an amazing speakeasy in Seattle last night that I had no idea existed! Intricate cocktails, gorgeous decor, hidden in plain sight. I love that this city keeps surprising me! 💕

Last year I made & installed a Craft Exchange in front of my house. It’s been so awesome to see the creativity of my neighborhood flow through it 💕 I shared more about it on the @glowforge.bsky.social blog! glowforge.com/blog/article...

One thing about me: self care looks more like a bong hit + art project + really loud, passionate Leonard Cohen singalong than a spa day.

The Moisture Festival is one of my favorite things about Seattle ❤️ Arlo and I have gone together every year since he was a baby, and it never disappoints! Godfrey Daniels (seen here in paper cutout form) is always his favorite 🎈

Charlie had a pretty tense one-sided standoff on our walk this morning!

Ever thought about leaving your cushy Big Company tech job to join/found a startup? I break down how I think about assessing and mitigating the risks of taking that leap in @geekwire.com's "Ask the Expert" column: www.geekwire.com/2025/ask-the...

I just saw the lunar eclipse! 🌙

I feel like the #StandUpForScience events didn't get enough mainstream press coverage, so I wrote a Forbes piece about them. Had to tie it into my "swim lane" of equity & belonging in the workplace... but that wasn't too hard to do :) www.forbes.com/sites/rebeka... @standupforscience.bsky.social

Just googled how snails reproduce and learned a lot!

Spent my Friday night making some new bathroom art 🐠

Any analysis of the economic blackout yesterday? I didn’t spend, but at work our sales didn’t see a blip… I wonder if there was an overall impact?

Just crushing on my city before a waterfront work dinner 😍 #seattle #pnw

All these notifications about my anniversary with Berrett-Koehler Publishers reminded me: it’s been 5 years since my book was published! It was a weird book launch for 2 reasons: (1/4)

When mom tries to be funny but teenager isn’t biting…

I was getting ready to hang an American flag in our manufacturing facility today, for a “Made in the USA” photo shoot (more on that soon… very cool stuff to share!) & decided to make these signs to hang with it (on my Glowforge, of course!) Because the MAGA crowd doesn’t get to co-opt patriotism.

I made this shadow box full of all the little trinkets I got at the #kreweofchewbacchus #mardisgras parade. It’s ridiculous, but so was the parade… and so am I 😂

You guys, my kids got me addicted to a new game and I can’t stop! 2048… have you tried it? At least it’s getting me to take a break from BlockBlast 😅

Just over here doing the only thing I know how to do to make a difference right now: shouting logic into the chaos. My latest Forbes piece lists the lessons in efficiency that the government “efficiency” team could be learning from the very DEI practices they condem. www.forbes.com/sites/rebeka...

Flashback to our Spy vs Spy act. Wearing plague masks while doing physical activity is no joke! 😅 #aerial #aerialarts #aerialist #aerialsilks

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) clearly does not have efficiency as their goal. * Efficiency comes from psychological safety - when people are able to focus on work instead of looking over their shoulders. (1/3)

I’ve been writing about equity & belonging in the workplace for Forbes for 6 yrs, and I will continue to do so… because there’s more work & understanding needed now than ever. This is the 1st article I wrote for that byline - feels like a good time to resurface it. www.forbes.com/sites/rebeka...
