Seattle Independent Bookstore Day is this Saturday, kicking off 10 days dedicated to filling your shelves with books from local booksellers, like Estelita's Library (which you can support through Bookshop.org) and the 33 participating stores in the Seattle area. Which shops are y'all hitting up?
As a person on a fixed income who drives a small car, I agree. It’s def an inconvenience but when compared to everything else that’s happening, not much more. I do feel for entities like public schools who provide bus transport and operate on thin budgets. SUV owners not so much.
Hey, @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social you literally GOT this story from me. I broke it days ago on Bluesky and then on my own website, PubliCola. THE POST WAS DOWN BY YESTERDAY. I RAN INTO YOUR REPORTER WHO THANKED ME FOR BREAKING THIS NEWS today. Give my independent outlet credit immediately.
For the record: The Washington Post can go fuck itself.
Support pro-democracy media that doesn't have its head stuck up Donald Trump's ass. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
"This is an important thing to think about."
Repost: Former IOF soldier and Miss Israel 2021, Noa Cochva, is speaking tomorrow at UW's Red Square at 11 a.m.
Often there is art by local students (thinking Honolulu airport also Seattle.) Always impressed by the amazing young talent. Yeah I’m a weirdo like that too, a calm weirdo because I’m not rushing to catch a flight!
Tax the rich.
The T stands for transient (Bigg’s) orcas. Resident orcas start with J, K or L at least the ones we see in Puget Sound. If you’re into orcas the distinction between the eco types is quite interesting.
“There’s no peace in the Middle East bc Palestinians refuse to believe in the Torah. The Torah says it’s our [Jews] land. And that’s why America must always stand with Israel.”
Wow. He just came right out and said it.
He really needs to step down
Patriots coach Mike Vrabel still has his job. Two female reporters have been fired as a result of his alleged affair with one of those reporters. This is the USA work place women have always had to navigate.
So much going on besides “No Kings.” In Seattle, including at schools I regularly sub at, and across the district, students have self-organized and walked out and demonstrated esp over ICE/CBP and in support of their classmates. This boomer is ever so proud of them.
Love her! We were born on the exact same day ❤️.
I’d boycott Amazon but I’ve been doing that for a looong time. Disgraceful.
Saw A.J. in concert a couple of years ago in Seattle, really enjoyed it. He represents his father and himself well.
The 25th Amendment, impeachment, demanding his resignation — we need to do whatever it takes to remove Trump from office.
Stop taking money from AIPAC.
No shortage of men who claim there’s some made up apparition who’s justifying their oppression of women and other human beings. Sick of all of them.
That you know of.

Left- Israel destroyed the 2,000 year old village, Aita al-Shaab, in Lebanon yesterday. A crime against humanity.
Right- Israel bombed Lebanon yesterday and killing 303 Lebanese...at least one third of them children, women and the elderly.
men can’t understand what it’s like for women to see story after story after story of women being victims of sexual violence in a culture where it’s routine; what it’s like to live in a world that is fundamentally hostile to our existence. it’s a wonder we leave the fucking house, let alone thrive.
Alphabet, Meta, and Amazon all have headquarters in Seattle. This year the Seattle School District has an 80 million dollar shortfall.
The greed is wild. Apple is worth nearly $4 trillion but can't tolerate a single store with unionized workers because they're so against workers getting what they deserve.
FYI, Seattle.
Yeah I work at a middle school and it’s a verb there. Just had to take down a piece of art displayed in the school hallway where a kid had sort of snuck the word in. They’re always a step ahead of us.
💔 Al Jazeera Mubasher correspondent Mohammed Samir Washah has been killed in Gaza following an Israeli drone strike on his car.
Over 262 journalists have been murdered (assasinated) by ‘Israel’ since the start of the genocide in Gaza.
You murder journalists when your enemy is the truth.
“Congress isn’t doing their job.”
Oh YES THEY ARE.
They work for ISRAEL!
They work for DEFENSE COMPANIES!
They work for TECH COMPANIES!
That is who PAYS them.
This is how our government works.
It’s an UGLY reality but reality nonetheless.
The sooner we all understand, the better.
