Do you know of the indigenous connections to the land you live on?

For me, I live on Duwamish land and they're still very much here in Washington, as are other tribes. I recommend checking out the site below, to find out more about the land you live on. You can plug in your area code and learn of your local indigenous tribes.

Native Land is a resource to learn more about Indigenous territories, languages, lands, and ways of life. We welcome you to our site.

It's October 3rd and we're questioning how gender influences relationships. This research article on "The Gender‐as‐Relational Approach for Theorizing About Romantic Relationships ..." provides a good dive on this question across the spectrum: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7731939/

Where do you get your news?

I have struggled with bias in news but being informed is important. Drop your recommendations!

When I started No Dumb Questions, it was to build a community based on curiosity, vulnerability and open mindedness in a apolitical setting within the Greater Seattle Area.

I was naive to think that was possible.

Everything is political, especially in the United States. Water is political. Air is political. Land is political.

As a U.S. citizen, it feels disingenuous to have conversations that are meaningful but don't fully address the elephant in the room.

People are getting kidnapped. Political opponents jailed. So, if you ever wondered what you'd do during terrible times, you have your answer to that question right now. I didn't like mine and that was a wake up call. My heart was in a good place. My actions need to be in a better place.

So I am going to shift:

How do I get involved? What can I do now?
