Gratitude to @rebekahdenn.bsky.social and Jenny Buchanan (photographer) for this beautiful story about A PLACE FOR WHAT WE LOSE at @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social Pacific NW Sunday magazine! www.seattletimes.com/pacific-nw-m...

A Raina Telgemeier/Scott McCloud teamup!?!?!!! It’s like an awesome weird dream but it’s true!

Goodbye Theo Chocolate store in Fremont & some great memories of bringing kids there for samples & factory tours when it was locally made.

As the seed catalogs start arriving, reminder that @pccmarkets members get 10% off online orders at @territorialseedcompany! www.pccmarkets.com/sound-consum...

Really thrilled to be in @civileats.com & @longreads.com today.

I know we all have too many subscriptions, but this felt like an important one to add. (Also: cooking?!)

Great piece by the amazing @rebekahdenn.bsky.social for PCC Markets, a food co-op that serves shoppers focused on organic, natural foods. I think this is more useful than "trend" pieces by marketing agencies, which often cite campaigns they're working on for clients as "trends" shorturl.at/UKPME

Cookbook gifts! I rounded up one for everyone in your list for @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social: www.seattletimes.com/entertainmen...

Does anyone own a mandoline who has NOT sliced off a fingertip with it? Just saw yet another report.

For me he’ll always be Jamberry (which I read easily 5 million times), Jesse Bear illos & Daddy is a Doodlebug. Rest easy (I’m a doodlebug too.) www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2...

Apparently, this does NOT go without saying, so I'll say it: Local news dies without reader support. And it matters more, not less, in times of great political turmoil and despair.

Just reminding folks that PubliCola, based in Seattle, is 100% reader-supported. Contributions pay me to report and write local breaking and investigative news stories and pay freelancers fairly.

Another exhibit A for “Why we need journalists”

The Plastics Industry’s Wish List for a Second Trump Administration Critics call it the plastics industry’s Project 2025. Tucked into a federal recycling bill are regulatory rollbacks and industry-friendly provisions that federal agencies under Trump could adopt without congressional approval.

Free plastic film recycling pilot in Seattle (with a place that actually does recycle it!) www.pccmarkets.com/sound-consum...

When our kids outgrew the swing set we put it on Buy Nothing & a couple pieces went to different homes. The tire swing wound up near the elementary school & I love passing it & seeing kids playing on their way home.

I *finally* gave in and got a bsky account, can you help me find my people? repost? i can't get the migration tools to work, one of them said "throttled by twitter" which... sounds about right.

Got the call that our first two foster kittens are ready for adoption & am now madly texting their photos to everyone I know so they can adopt them & I can still see them sometimes or at least get the occasional holiday card.
