Washington state remains one of the 16 states that DOES NOT grant parole. There are thousands of Black men who have been incarcerated since the 1980s for drug possession because of it. campaignzero.org

reminder that the head of the King County Department of Assessments is still in office until this Fall and your tax dollars pay his salary :) this is an elected position so he can only be removed by recall he has refused to leave publicola.com/2025/07/03/c...

Got screamed at by strangers two days in a row while doing my job for the county in my high viz logo emblazoned vest. One woman accused me of casing her house and called me GIRL in a way I can only describe as racist. So yeah that was me having a panic attack on Mary Ave yesterday.

There will be a rally and candlelight vigil for Alex Pretti at the Seattle VA Hospital tonight. See the full details below:

NOW'S YOUR TIME TO SHINE✨#ALLIES✨

not sure why it took this long for me to panic about the fact that these abuser recruits can use their cover to evade protection orders

I was there! AMA (off record)

Seattle Public Schools ordered elementary and middle school students to shelter in place today - meanwhile ICE agents showed up at the high schools

I know we're going to war with everywhere but I just learned my grad school is shuttering and would like to know my options about student loan forgiveness @vanderbiltusac.bsky.social www.kqed.org/arts/1398535...

Clarence Moriwaki was just elected as the first Asian-American Mayor of Bainbridge Island. As a Japanese-American who has served on the council since 2022, Moriwaki has regularly highlighted the island's centrality to the history of Japanese exclusion in the US & the lessons to learn from that era.

The way America relies on Black activists to protect them from their own decisions should be studied. Not by me though.

Reminder that “Say her name” was developed specifically to call attention to murders of Black women

Christmas isn’t merry for everyone. Some people are missing loved ones and suffering with depression. Sending hugs and prayers your way🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️

I took a big long walk through Crown Hill to Olympic Manor to Blue Ridge and Carkeek and back - and the deathly quiet of those neighborhoods on a holiday is so spooky in the most Stepford way

The CDC has announced a Salmonella outbreak linked to raw oysters in 22 states. A survey about twenty years ago found Salmonella in 7.4% of sampled oysters in the US, with considerable variation from bay to bay. Oysters are delicious boiled, broiled, fried or baked! www.cdc.gov/salmonella/o...

happy holidays to all my single brethren ♥️✨

My new ornament

I'd love to hear other single folk's family of one (+ pets & plants) holiday traditions - family dysfunction and being mostly single led me to become semi-agnostic - now I LOVE being a free agent and no two years rarely look alike

This is gonna be an absolute nightmare. But this is hilarious 😅

why is bluesky collecting people's ages allasudden

bought two pairs of skinny jeans in size menobelly today

“Have Yourself A Merriam Little Christmas” Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas.

I'm not one to say this but this is a topic that has gone largely unreported - I work in this industry and wasn't aware of the change that happened back in March. A very clear example of systemic and enforced racism. bankingjournal.aba.com/2025/03/trum...

I don't know who needs to hear this but AI isn't inevitable

Highly recommend bringing at least one item of pure unadulterated American junk food for Thanksgiving - in addition to the bougie homemade shrub I made this year, I picked up a Dolly Parton decadent frozen chocolate pie (just thaw and serve!)

ngl I'm a little proud of how hard I bedrotted this weekend

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

called our dad to thank him for his service - he was heading out to get a free buffalo chicken wing lunch and vets say nobody ever acknowledges them 🫡

people who always stick their tongues out in photos: what's that about???

Snohomish and Pierce counties keep knocking out cold cases why not King? Oh that's because neither KCSO or SPD have dedicated cold case units - and haven't for a long time (my theory: because of how badly they fumbled GRK)
