At a Video Isle, I overheard Dave Matthews apologize for returning his overdue DVDs So late.

Never a better time to listen to this song than this week. youtu.be/kcPSmFhmhJ4?...

Trying to be better about sharing my research on here... Just published - “Sneak It In”: Information Literacy Instruction Related to Misinformation. How public librarians approach teaching about misinformation. If you don't have access, DM me. www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/epdf/10....

Best use case of AI might be for CEOs who want to encourage more in-person office work...in the form of a vending machine.

This entire weekend

Given the passing of disability activist and light-in-the-world Alice Wong, we at COYOTE invite people to share what she and her work meant to them. Whether you knew Alice personally, organized with her, or were simply a fan of her writing, we'd love to hear from you. (1/3) (📷: Jen White-Johnson)

A good chunk of my feed is told me to read this essay, and I’m glad I listened to everyone.

If you were not familiar with the concept of the Seattle Mariners before, this is a good game to catch you up to speed

The Bread Carrier, by Pablo Picasso, 1905

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵) www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein...

Seattle: we’re the most educated and least religious city in the country Also Seattle: so there’s this baseball salmon mascot who has never won a race right?

The 14th inning stretch 😭

This is really a lot.

This is an unhealthy way to live

Update: We have found a screen!

So how’s everyone doing?

neutral fans: what a great game Seattle and Detroit fans:

What “It’s just the sort of home one might imagine for a scrappy organizer, but far from Harrell’s 7,000-square-foot Seward Park home, more typical of a big-city mayor. The incongruity between its diminutive size and the enormous scope of the job Wilson wants is dizzying.”

If you want to understand open adoption, it makes sense to start with birth parents—yet studies of them are few. 2+ yrs ago, I began talking w/ birth mothers to try to understand what living in an open adoption is like for them, and what rights or options they might have if challenges were to arise.

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

i made a helpful reference

Well don't I feel stupid

The 10:30 showing of K-Pop Demon Hunters singalong was packed. I’m impressed with the number of KPDH shirts (worn by kids and adults)! Movies and movie theaters are great.

It took thirty years but I'm on Tiny Desk today! www.npr.org/2025/08/20/g...

Challenge: post your last photo taken in DC to show what a hell-hole it is.

I might have lost funding but at least I can do what I want. :) And I want to teach people about AI ethics in 90 second increments! bit.ly/ai-ethics-sy...

Watched the Abbott episode about book banning on an airplane yesterday, and I had to go searching for other people mad about it.

Due to mass confusion, clarifying again: Tsunami Watch: Tsunami of indeterminate magnitude is possible; stand by. Tsunami Advisory: Tsunami is likely *but will probably be small.* Evacuations unlikely. Tsunami Warning: Tsunami is likely *and may be large.* Evacuations needed.

This.

THANK YOU ALL for racing the L8. WE BEAT THE BUS doing everything from folk dancing to hopscotch and we're blown away by the support but we did notice that a Very Important Person from City Hall was missing today and will be writing an open letter inviting them to join us on a Route 8 bus!!

Do not lead the goats.

People on the replies being like “this is trafficking, not adoption” you are *so close.* Abbi’s story on Liberty Lost is powerful and disturbing and I’m so glad it’s being told. But it’s not unique to just her or even to Liberty — this is the system.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

All you need is: "Hello, my name is [your name] in zip code [your zip code], and I oppose the funding bill that cuts funding for Medicaid and adds billions to ICE [or other parts of the bill you hate]." That's it, you can do it in 60 seconds.

Please make these calls if you’re in one of the states listed below. A couple members have reportedly flipped, and it’s worth continuing the pressure given what’s at stake.

Everything is terrible and dark but listening to KEXP shine a light on the importance of a public radio ecosystem through music and community helps some. I especially loved hearing and learning from other public media radio and tv stations from Seattle and across the country.

Loving KEXP DJ Larry Mizell JR’s Brian Wilson tribute. And I have to admit, I did clap when he started BnL’s “Brian Wilson.”

Not a huge surprise but some good news for the feed www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/u...

Great opportunity for practitioners to learn and collaborate with academic partners on projects about resisting strategic misinformation, promoting an informed society, and strengthening democratic discourse.

“And Chinese adoptees had become so popular by the early two-thousands, not only in the U.S. but also in Europe and Australia, that there simply weren’t enough abandoned children to keep up with the demand.”

Big Friday energy this week. L.E. Bowman, from their book SHAPESHIFTER.
