Mayor Murray, Durkan, and Harrell were all unwilling to make the hard calls to transform our dangerous streets. As a result we're still talking about the same five streets where the most people are getting injured and killed: Aurora Ave N, Rainier Ave S, 4th Ave S, Lake City Way, and MLK Jr Way S.
WILD thinking. People are not living in the same world. And yeah! We are really lucky not to have anything shading the west side of our roof (there's a small parking lot next to us)
That's an objection people have?? Who is looking at their own roof all the time? Anyway we have had solar since January 2022 and it has produced not quite but close to 100% of our usage, including charging an EV. I couldn't recommend it more.

i don’t know why i am keeping a toll in my head. but it feels important to name these as deaths from the climate crisis.
it’s here. it’s killing people.
with the flooding here in the past two days, two more people have died.
which means 150 people have died in the last year, within one hour from san antonio, from flash floods. crazy.
I secured some funding last year to revive the Stevie Wilson DIY Young Artists Residency. I’m excited to announce that applications are open today until May 11 for young artists (ages 16-24) directly impacted by criminalization, policing, or punishment.
Hartzog said lawmakers need to create more specific rules tailored to the unique threat posed by the combination of facial recognition and nearly undetectable surveillance technology before it becomes ubiquitous. Those laws need to target not only people using the technology, but also the companies behind it, he said. “A lot of these conversations tend to focus on, ‘is it OK to use these glasses or this tool to surveil other people?’” he said. “What often gets lost in this conversation is, ‘is it OK for companies to design these really socially hostile tools in ways that will foreseeably lead to massive violations of privacy?’”

Man idk how to express how demoralizing it is to see people doing joke support for the Pope as the Catholic Church implements the most draconian trans healthcare ban anywhere in the US. It's a FULL ADULT TRANS HEALTHCARE BAN!!!THEY KEEP BUYING MORE HOSPITALS!!!!!!!
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
All this time, the life you were supposed to live has been rising around you like the walls of a house designed with warm harmonious lines. As if you had actually planned it that way. As if you had stacked up bricks at random, and built by mistake a lucky star. ~from Northern Oracle (Spout Press, 2007)

Pike Place Market just released new sales data for Feb 2026. Looks like Jan+Feb 2026 had 11% higher sales than Jan+Feb 2025 (before the pedestrian pilot)! Congrats Seattle, you managed to find a way to shop at the market in the dead of winter without driving your cars through the middle of it.
Today's ignorant naysayers claim "that'd never work here!" when in fact it once did before it was intentionally dismantled for the benefit of the auto industry.

HAHA SUCK A DICK CENTRAL DOGMA 🧪
Not new, but so perfectly put.....
7. Montana's court put it simply: if a cis woman's birth certificate says "M" by mistake, she can fix it. If a trans woman's says "M," she can't. Both want the same document. One gets it; the other doesn't. The only difference is sex assigned at birth. That is a law that by definition hinges on sex.
1. In a landmark ruling, the Montana Supreme Court has declared that the constitution, one of the most progressive in the nation, entirely protects transgender people.
The ruling is even insulated from SCOTUS decisions, due to how state constitutions work.

He really is racist.
Jesus, I really need to just stop reading shit on the Internet
Do I have any followers in the Los Angeles area who is looking for some sweet cats? Or any followers who know someone in L.A. who is?
Exactly one year ago today:
Good for him but I am tired of learning about all the ways a 41-year-old candidate for U.S. Senate supposedly has a lot more growing and learning to do. Maybe do that before the Senate? And maybe try out a lower office before then?
Or maybe we just watch him blossom into another Sinema/Fetterman.
It's astonishing how wedded people are to the idea that refusing to name what's happening is how we overcome it.
I love how everyone is just acting like they already know what a waterspout is and don't have to ask
Not obscure, just striking as I’m trying to visit ill family overseas:
Seattle <-> Shanghai flights all look like this. Completely full in the front (first class, premium classes), completely empty in coach.
These planes are flying half empty because the middle class don’t have money to spend.
BREAKING: We just won our antitrust trial against LiveNation and Ticketmaster.
Live Nation has raked in billions in profits from an illegal monopoly that coerces venues, restricts artists, and exploits fans.
This is a massive win in the fight for fairness for local venues, artists, and fans.
I'm grateful to Whet Moser (who seems to have left bsky; we miss you) for sharing this subscription for books in translation. I'm already behind (reading book 2; 4 have been mailed) but can tell you the two titles pictured here are astonishing. I don't think I would have encountered them otherwise.
