Kinda made my day if I’m honest 😅

Oh, wow… 😭

Some gregarious older gay guy at a #kcmetro bus stop, whose type I totally am not, I could tell, but who was just being sweet to me, and could also prob tell I was kinda sad and lonely about it being #Valentine’sDay just gave me chocolates and a pink Disney princess balloon…

So #sweet 🤗

There’s not a bus in the city that isn’t running fucked up right now 😑

#Seattle #publictranspo #kcmetro #soundtransit

I just very pleasantly asked a #kcmetro bus driver, “Hey! Do you know why some of the buses have #Seahawks messaging on the LEDs, & some don’t?”

Followed by the most withering look I’ve EVER been shot, and, “Why would I know that?”

Shit, idk man, you do drive one for a living 😅

#PNW #lol #Seattle

There’s one 🤩

I love to see the #kcmetro buses that have pro #Seahawks messaging on them, like this one, and they did yesterday, too.

That’s one of the cool things about #sports, the way it can bring a city together.

Also, paddling some #Patriots ass will do that, too. #Seattle = #12thMan 😤

#PNW

Only some of the #kcmetro buses say, “GO #SEAHAWKS,” and it’s low-key driving me kinda crazy bc I’m trying to get a photo 😵‍💫

#PNW #Bellevue #Seattle

I saw a pretty #redhead on a #kcmetro bus checking herself out on her self-facing phone camera, & I want to tell her she looks stylish & cute & worry not, but I fear it would be unwelcome or inappropriate.

Maybe she’ll see this on #BlueSky. Looking great! 💁‍♀️

We #gingers have to stick together 👩‍🦰

I’m waiting with my buddy Kai to get #kcmetro bus tickets at #PorchLight, & 1 of the staff is handing out pamphlets to everyone brown in the building bc #ICE is confirmed to be active in #Bellevue #WA.

This is some bleak, dystopic, RACIST shit, y’all. Last thing these guys need, too.

#PNW #DHS 🚨

Just went to my first meeting of the

@kcmetrourbanists.bsky.social

I got to talk abt bus, bike, pedestrian & city council for a whole hour!!

And no-one’s eyes glazed over after 30 seconds but rather engaged with good questions and ways to build on what exists.

I love #SoundTransit & #kcmetro 🤩

Coming from #TX, I could not have IMAGINED the freedom that my subsidized annual pass (I’m poor) provides me.

I go pretty much anywhere in #Seattle for free, & it’s so empowering.

I used to have to walk along the hwy all the time in #Texas 😑

#PNW #publictransit

Someone is making a show of earnestly reading #AynRand at a #Seattle #kcmetro bus stop, and I should do him and all of us a favor, and kick it out of his hand into the gutter (it’s #TheFountainhead, natch), but it’s probably not my place…

On the OTHER hand, why tf else would I earn a #LitDegree… 🤔

On the #kcmetro #bus, with friends, & I just very firmly, definitively stated, “and it’s only the 14th of the month!” and someone I’m with (Nick) just went, “Idk, I’m pretty sure it’s the 17th,” and, you guys, it’s the goddamnedest thing — he was right!

January is just flying by 😅

I asked my buddy Kai as we were waiting for the #kcmetro 240, “Would you say that I’m a nice person?”

Kai stared at me for, like, a bit, & then said, “I wouldn’t say that, but you are nice.”

Idek why, but that really cracked me up 🤣

Prob about the best I could hope for fishing like that 😅

#lol

I’ve been waiting at #Eastgate #Transit Center on the #kcmetro 240 for 25 minutes.

THREE 226 buses just FLEW by in a formation.

Wtf is happening? Am I having a stroke? Is this the Twilight Zone? Are they all just the 226 now? 😵‍💫

Oh, I’m also quite #stoned 🤔 that’s def part of it…

#Bellevue #PNW

2 dudes who are gay for each other, but would never admit it, just had a #meetcute on the #kcmetro #bus right behind me in which they bonded over their shared love of #guns and made a playdate for the #gunrange later.

Great. Glad they found each other. Meanwhile, I'm normal and #single 😑

#PNW #lol

I ran into a dude named #Philly at a #kcmetro #bus stop this AM, & he bummed a #cigarette off me (unusually, I had a pack), & I offered him a hit off my #weed #vapepen, & he went, "Nah, I shouldn't, I just quit for a job, & it's super important I pass a drug test... but okay!" #lol 😅

#PNW #Bellevue

I'm at a #kcmetro transit-center #bus stop, and some dude is SCREAMING to his vaping buddy about how his crazy c*nt b*tch baby-momma won't let him see his kids because of his 'state of mind.'

Lady, you're doing the Lord's work, wherever you are. Keep it up. Good grief 😑

#PNW #Bellevue #parenting

Also, full disclosure, they 'stopped working' because I knocked them off my own head while disembarking a #kcmetro bus and they flew, like, 25 feet and landed really hard, so I fully did not expect them to come back from that 😬

Praise be! 😅

#lol #headphones #Bellevue

Do you ever get a good squiz at an upside-down B&W American Flag patch on tactical, black backpack of the black-trenchcoat-ed white guy boarding #kcmetro #bus in front of you, & think, "I sure hope this guy & I aren't about to be on the #news?" 🤔

I do 😑

#PNW #Seattle #publictranspo #Bellevue #lol

And, in total candor, #SoundTransit is way better than 50/50 for me, in terms of good, kind, polite, competent drivers (I'd even say they're better than #kcmetro by a wide margin, too, by that metric; a LOT of #KingCountyMetro drivers are deranged lunatics, imo), but this one... no good! 😬

#Seattle

I just heard 2 young #Christians, nauseatingly #inlove on a SRO #kcmetro bus RIGHT next to me just now, promise to love each other 'even after the #Resurrection.'

THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS, IDIOTS! NEITHER MARRY NOR BE GIVEN IN MARRIAGE. READ YOUR STUPID BOOK!

I'm #single and grumpy about it 😑

#PNW

Image of band stage setup, with several electric and acoustic guitars on stands, drumset, monitors and amplifiers in front of a mod architectural art piece with backlighting in the shape of an (honestly, looks like a triceratops, but the venue is called the RiNo so we assume they were going for a rhinoceros here). Christmas lights are strung across the top of the rhino head, stage is otherwise lit in hues of "bisexual" purples, pinks, and blues.

Show at the #RiNo in north #KansasCity pops off in 15 mins! Come on down for a chill eve of good music and better vibes :)

#RiverNorth #KCMO #NKC #NKCMO #NorthKC #KCMetro

I am currently waiting on a #kcmetro #bus to take me into #Seattle, where the #HeroHouseNW #SeattleClubhouse is holding, like, a shared-workspace field-trip to a #pumpkinpatch and #animal petting zoo with very cute #babygoats. I often have PROFOUND problems w/ #zoos, but… here goes 😅

#Bellevue #pnw

Show, the dog, exhibiting her usual happy-go-lucky spirit 🤗

She’s so cute. She’s got some kind of thing where she, like, weeps almost constantly, a teensy little bit, and so Mike, Luther & I are always calling her to come over, sweet-pea, so we can wipe your eye-boogies and she doesn’t ever wanna 😆

SHE’S SO PRETTY AND SWEET!! If you ever see her in person (and you might! She’s often out and about with Mike and/or Luther in Factoria), tell her how sweet and pretty she is, because she loves it 🥰

So unsteady 😆

#ShowTheDog rode a #kcmetro #bus this AM, & it was super fuckin #cute 😆

Show is amiable & pretty flexible, but the motion of the bus gets her way unsteady, & every time she went to visit w/ interesting-smelling strangers, she kept misstepping & bonking her poor head 🤣

#Dog #DogSky #Dogs #Factoria

Monologue overheard six feet behind me on #kcmetro bus:

“WHOSE JOB IS IT TO KILL? GODS! OBVIOUSLY, IT IS GOD’S PLACE TO KILL.”

So… that’s how my night is going 🤔

How bout y’all? Any other weird nights out there?

He’s singing at the TOP of his lungs right now, extemporaneously/improvisationally

Osmand screenshot showing the route for the 345 bus that goes south on a street, then pulls into a lot and does a small loop around a parking lot before going back out into the street and heading south.

Imagine having the institutional power to be like, "okay city/county, you will run your bus route through our campus in a loop"? #Seattle #KCMetro

Show, the Dog, asking me to draw her like one of Jack’s French girls 💁‍♀️

I was, like, where should I go #write?? 1 of the libraries?? Should I go explore a new…

#PaneraBread in #Factoria, obv 🤦‍♀️

#ShowTheDog & Mike walked my happy-meal ass, like, 14mi up&down the backroads of darkest #Bellevue, what, am I going to hop on #kcmetro to get to a #library 45m b4 it closes?? 😆

Stay safe, KC metro. This is a dangerous and evolving situation.
