Yeah, like, at least add a note so I know what you want from me

This is like all the Seattle politicians endorsing Harrell because he’s vindictive and holds a grudge. A canny strategic move to… give the bully what he wants.

Man, I was just thinking about this program the other day. I can still hear “and a sparkly fish tail!” in my head to this day

Honestly, that’s so fair. I like your reality better anyway.

I love that your concept of casual clothing involves fishnets and not, like sweatshirts and yoga pants 😁

My mom and I had matching hair cuts for a time in the 90s. Like, on purpose 🙈

I’m for this if the men boothbabes wear the same outfits that women boothbabes do

I don’t think Dan actually knows what brutalist architecture looks like…?

I remember learning this about GW Bush’s religious beliefs and suddenly a lot of things clicked into place

If you haven’t yet, try KEXP, a public music station out of Seattle and, now, SF.

Have you seen Mare of Easttown? If no, I have a recommendation for ya

Research supports you on this! People who take notes by hand retain more than those who don’t take notes or type them.

Ah yes, the time-honored strategy for standing up to bullies: doing whatever they want. Union leadership should know better.

More people should learn about embodied cognition. The act of writing not only articulates your thoughts, it shapes them in important and fundamental ways

Jayapal endorsed him a month or two ago, before the candidate pool had even coalesced! Whyyyyy?

It’s so, so hard to say goodbye. It’s the one-year anniversary of losing our 3-year old boy cat to FIP. It was a hellish period interspersed with a few months of everything being okay. I’m grateful for those months but fuck, does it feel unfair to do everything possible and still lose.

Big time :( my neighborhood has gone from 3 drug stores to 1 and of course the remaining store is the farthest away (clearly this is a personal attack)

The pharmacist at my local Bartells told me Rite Aid/Bartells are shuttering in August. That seems like a bigger deal for pharmacy access than a single WF with no pharmacy. (Also wtf did the Bartell sale go through if RiteAid is doing away?!)

My partner worked in grocery for a decade and said most stores will refund you if you just call them; no need to bring the evidence. A manager eventually showed up to provide a refund and deal with the bird 💀

At Thanksgiving, a woman in front of us at checkout plopped a thawing turkey in a plastic grocery bag down the register and insisted to the cashier it smelled bad and she wanted a refund. Poor guy had to figure out what to do with a dripping Turkey carcass while dealing with the customers in line.

Yeah, lots of people still believe the media fabrication of about CHOP/CHAZ. My first experience getting gassed was WTO, which famously caused the chief of police to resign, lost the incumbent mayor his election, and resulted in lawsuit payouts for people inappropriately arrested 🫠

Harrell is up for re-election. Amazing how SPD can rein it in when properly motivated.

Yeah, at some point, we generally agreed it’s the job of a candidate to get the votes to win, not the job of the public to hold their nose and vote. Until we get money out of politics, I just don’t see the situation improving and it’s bleak.

Was it really? The man was a known cheat and scumbag for decades basically his whole life. Indulgent media had to help make that possible.

Me too! In classic PNW fashion, I got slightly sunburned 💀

Should also add the usual caveats: we are both able bodied, we don’t have kids, we didn’t have to go to work, and myriad other circumstances that enabled us. Also, shout out to the couple who attended in a tandem recumbent bike. Truly hard mode legend shit.

…so not everyone had it quite so hard, but many did. I forgot to mention that UW graduation happened at the same time as the march 🫠 Despite all that, local news reported 10% of Seattle turned up. I hope that helps give some context for the challenge of even a permitted action in a friendly city.

After ~2 hours of marching, we rode about 30 minutes home. All this is to say, we were really motivated to go. Urban sprawl, Seattle’s geography, and years of disinvestment in an already mediocre transit system all worked against us. We live in a part of the city famous for being inaccessible…

We opted to bike, but Capitol Hill is *steep* and I doubted I could make it all the way up, so we rode 40 minutes to the UW, where we grabbed the subway to Capitol Hill. Once there, we marched with our bikes. (There’s scant bike parking and we were leaving 1.5 miles from where we started, anyway.)

The bus runs every 15 minutes and requires a transfer downtown. The trip is an hour on a good day. All the buses were rerouted due to the rally, so that adds a 20-minute walk and the likelihood the bus too full whenever it arrives, probably not on time.

I live in Seattle proper, ~6 miles/10km from the starting point of yesterday’s big rally. It’s about 20 minutes to drive, but parking on Capitol Hill is atrocious on a good day. Being generally anti-ride sharing, our options were to bus or bike.

Exactly this. And only 40% of the country votes and right-wing propaganda is incredibly effective and it’s all been doing on for way longer than just 2016.
