Love hearing Milner welcomed home properly. Anfield has sounded amazing today. #LFC #YNWA

This street design is 1000% what we should have seen happen on Delridge Way SW, there is no excuse Retains parking, slows traffic, accommodates bikes, widens sidewalks, provides street trees. (Delridge Way will always haunt me)

@yourfriendlara.bsky.social Great meeting you tonight at the @westseaurbanism.bsky.social happy hour. I look forward to fixing parking (and all the downstream effects of that) with you.

One of my favorite holiday memories ever was walking over to the tree lot near the hospital where I worked in San Francisco, asking them for the smallest tree they had (~48 inches), and then carrying it onto the bus for my commute home. The smiles from strangers on that bus will last a lifetime.

Seattle OLSC Holiday Party 2025 #LFC #YNWA

New #LFC strategy. Start Ekitike, Curtis, Szobo, and Bradley as often as possible AND LET THEM RUN IN. #LEELIV

Waiting for the bus to go watch #LFC at the pub and leave my family in peace this morning. The wind since yesterday afternoon has been wild but I’m bundled and rocking out to Tears For Fears and The Cure. Come on Reds, we need a win! #YNWA

20,000+ minutes of music listening and that doesn’t include Bandcamp, my personal digital library, or vinyl. Not a bad year.

Flo, you fuckin’ beauty. It’s about time. #LFC #LIVSUN

Even our best players are making amateur mistakes… and now we’re down a goal. No press. No presence. Please, someone, convince me why Isak is still on the pitch when we have a player like Ekitike available. #LFC #LIVSUN

Thanks to the Seattle OLSC, I may have a new favorite pub. St Andrew’s is surely the only place in Seattle where you don’t even have to ask for Crystal and HP; they’re already out. Killer meat pies, Liverpool matches, and Frank Turner on the speakers at the half. #YNWA

@seattledot.bsky.social How about we save the expense of removing the speed cushions that have already proven effective, and instead put those funds toward REAL protection (concrete curbs/islands, bollards, etc.) for the bike lanes? How much of the protection shown here is even left?

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

@davidroberts.skystack.xyz is officially the most recommended podcaster and the most common source for book recommendations at Thanksgiving this year. Books by @humantransit.bsky.social, @holz-bau.bsky.social, and @thewaroncars.bsky.social have been the top recs since being laid off as well.

I’ll have my resume ready and submitted by Monday. Please let there be a place for me in these teams.

Thank goodness for the All Red audio broadcast. I just cheered and startled a few folks while walking around downtown San Mateo with the family. Szobo with a goal! #LFC #YNWA

Go Denver!

I renew my request that you all stop showing me the worst people in the world morning, noon, and night.

Let’s go! Home is where your heart is. Happy Thanksgiving week.

New week. New mood. “Mornin' come, sun don't shine I'll get by without you” Labi Siffre Gil Scott-Heron Sharon Jones Ann Peebles Cymande Raphael Saadiq Shuggie Otis Sly & The Family Stone Steely Dan Charlie Wright Charles Bradley Bill Withers Sault Khruangbin

What MLK JR Way S could have looked like 😔

1. Proper school streets for all schools 2. Rezoning to at least LR within 1/2 mile of every school, park, & library 3. Social housing prioritizing locations a la #2 4. Expedite and incentivize (by % increase in units/beds) infill housing development 5. Protected bike lanes and raised crossings

I could really use a win this week. #COYR #LFC #LIVNFO

I’ve been in a particular kind of mood this week and just want to take a moment to appreciate some of the artists and albums giving me life at the moment. Janet Jackson (esp. Velvet Rope) Mary J Blige ( Lauryn Hill Lily Allen (It’s Not Me It’s You & West End Girl) Joss Stone Florence + The Machine

@wilsonkatieb.bsky.social and @girmayzahilay.bsky.social After 8.5 years of healthcare compliance, construction, maintenance, and operations management, policy writing, and oversight in Puget Sound, this week I was laid off without warning.

“Only in our dreams are we free. The rest of the time we need wages.” - Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett

Healthcare in America is in a death spiral. My position was eliminated despite consistently saving the organization >3x what is cost them to employ me for the last 8.5 years. Hundreds more are being let go by the end of the year. Time to start the search again, BC, WA, OR, CA, or CO for now.

Thanks for introducing me to Hatchie @olderbrothersam.bsky.social I love when an artist can unabashedly wear their influences on their sleeve and yet produce something so enjoyable and original.

I don’t know if this is a failing of PNW schools or a problem specific to the cross section of healthcare, construction, maintenance, and emergency management that I interact with but… Invasive and Evasive are not synonymous!!! Thank you for your attention.

I don’t think I’ve ever laughed this hard before during an episode of Vibe Check. The constant stream of one liners can only be beat by the reactions from @theferocity.bsky.social

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.

I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit this should not be controversial 🫠

@governorferguson.bsky.social, @governor.or.gov, @governor.ca.gov This ⤵️ can be done. It’s time to tell insurers that their price gouging and service refusals are unacceptable. Reduce our healthcare costs, help people in need, and put more of what we pay in the hands of caregivers.

This is really important. The main thing that makes it hard to achieve integrated nature and green in cities isn’t density of buildings or density of people — it's density of cars. And the more well-designed and integrated density of people & buildings you achieve, the fewer cars you need or want.

Failed by @kingcountymetro.bsky.social once again. California Ave SW desperately needs protected bike lanes and consistent, frequent transit service along its full length. Buses leaving their stops 5 minutes early, leading to a 30 minute wait before 2 buses right together is unacceptable.

@ricrus77.bsky.social got me started on Bowie today and several hours later, I’m still working my way through the 1980s.

One of the benefits of growing up with dysfunctional parents in conflict is that you learn from an early age to question ALL authority (even the one you currently agree with) because everyone is unreliable in one way or another.

Mo! So close! #LFC #MCILIV

We can’t afford to let PGMOL beat us, but we REALLY need to not beat ourselves. City are not the better team here, but #LFC are sure playing like it so far. The Reds aren’t out of this yet. #COYR #YNWA #MCILIV

How the f$&@ can they say Robertson was blocking his eye line?! 😡 #MCILIV #LFC

Marmalade with the save! #LFC #UTFR

Got out for a lovely afternoon at Sammammish Animal Sanctuary with our daughter today. Miniature Shetland ponies, goats, llamas, and a highland coo named Frilly! Happy Saturday folks.

Sunderland are about as fun to watch as it gets, especially as they are frustrating the heck out of Arsenal today. We’re going to have to be on top form when #LFC play them next. #SUNARS

I feel like we don’t say “fuck Ronald Reagan” enough.

Clean sheet credit where credit’s due. Vini’s frustration was a joy to watch. #LFC #YNWA

The more I think about it, the more this service map is bugging me. From a project management standpoint as well as from a riders standpoint, completing the west half of the ⭕️, the east half of the ⭕️, the spurs for the airports, Everett, Ballard, Redmond, etc. just makes so much sense.

#BookSky #GardenSky #HerbSky #WitchSky My daughter suddenly wants to learn all about herbs and their uses. She’s already been making scent pouches for calming before bed, waking up energetically in the morning, etc. Any book recommendations for late elementary or middle school readers?
