ICYMI, WA-leg directed @wsdot.wa.gov to make an e-bike rebate program. They spent 2024 planning it and opened it for apps April 2025. UW is currently in the last month of running a study of people who applied, whether they got a rebate or not. wsdot.wa.gov/travel/bicyc...

Another recommendation for #antifascistBookclub. Seidel meticulously debunks the claim that America is a "fundamentally Christian nation": from what the founders believed, to how biblical justice conflicts with liberal justice, to "in God we trust" and "one nation under God" to 1st amendment, etc.

Welcome to "Zines Won't Save the World (But We're Gonna Try Anyways)"! Learn what drugs are opiods, what overdose looks like, how to administer naloxone, and where to get it (in Seattle). Download and customize it to make it specific to your city. This is not only for addicts. Be safe out there!

Hoping @mark-bray.bsky.social and his family make it to safety. I read his book last year and it's one I decided I needed to own. If you haven't read it, you should. Do it for #bannedBooksWeek and #antifascistBookclub . Thank you for your work, Dr. Bray. ✌️💪🚩🏴 I am the leader of Antifa.

Zine club is today! If you're in Seattle and like making zines, or are zine curious, drop by! Zines can be anything - from scribbles to poetry to personal stories to lists of your fave (or least fave) things to info dumps to political screeds to photos of your cat...endless possibilities!

You know those news stories about a local kid raising money to pay off all their classmates' lunch debt? And everyone goes, "aww, what a great kid!" instead of "hold up. Lunch debt?! Thafuq?" This is the same kind of thing.

Torn about Seattle's results because some of this is likely due to "return to work" policies and I know there are folks just in offices on virtual meetings all day when they could be home instead... But I like @kingcountymetro.bsky.social and want it to stick around so also yay. 🙃

Listening to SCOTUS, Villarreal v. Texas, from yesterday. So far, Banner (for Villarreal) is not doing well. Sotomayor: asks yes/no Q B: "well, I mean, I would say...I would say-" S: "Council, just answer yes or no." C: "well, okay. mostly yes." S: next question "and don't fight me." 🙃😬

In today's episode of "Zines Won't Save the World (But We're Gonna Try Anyways)": the Great Salt Lake in Utah is drying up. The playa has arsenic and heavy metals in it that'd be picked up in dust storms, and the lake is a critical habit for birbs and shramps. greatsaltlakenews.org/latest-news/...

Stay safe, Chicago. But also, don't take the bait. Show them your city isn't burning down. Walk your dogs. Keep calm. Carry on. Make Trump look like the weak man he is. Love, this resident of the Anarchist Jurisdiction of Seattle. 💖

I just want you to know that Reading Rainbow got rebooted, with Mychal the Librarian as host. The first episode came out two days ago. Playlist here: youtube.com/playlist?lis... Also, happy #bannedBooksWeek do you know about Books Unbanned? @spl.org participates!

Well this is a fun October surprise. Seattle, are you registered to vote? You can do it online up to 8 days before the election and in person through election day. If you're feeling powerless in all the Federal morass, start small by committing to vote in this important off year election.

🚲 vs 🚗 - Friday afternoon Seattle commute edition. No traffic. No contest. I win. Not shown: the massive traffic snarl at Roosevelt south of 45th where construction funneled all SB traffic into one lane, SB I5 traffic into Seattle, and the confluence of Montlake Blvd NE and NE Pacific Place.

Great break down of what the ACA credits have to do with anything, from @genericartdad.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/DJL0l...

Working on a little mobile zine library. I'm hoping to make it look like a cute little house, with a roof and lights. Gonna get some ortlieb hardware so I can attach it to my bike like a panier. And, of course, waterproofing will happen. Building materials: leftover cardboard and wood glue.

Hey Seattle zine friends, happy October! Our next meeting is: October 8th from 18:00-19:30 at the Montlake Branch Library As always, we'll have the bag of magazines, scissors, glue, and paper available. BYO writing tools and anything else you zine with. Club policies in our bio. See ya there!

Art and music and zines alone can't save the world, but damn if we aren't out here everyday continuing to try. That's not nothing. Keep making art. 🍉 youtu.be/A5QUYxC6Hfc?...

Wishing I worked closer 😭. But also I just printed and folded 100 of @meganpiont.bsky.social 's "how to report ICE" zine, so if I can make it work, I'll drop off a pile of those.

The revolution may not be televised, but some of it will be churned out of the two laser printers I got off Craigslist. With great power - and 12 boxes of black toner cartridges tossed in - comes the responsibility to print as many zines as possible. To pitch in, check out @opnewsstand.bsky.social

USPS dropped their Jimmy Carter forever stamps today. I thought you should know, in case he's also your favorite president. 🤓 store.usps.com/store/produc...

Hey fellow LD7 folks (Seattle, etc), if you're a fed worker or rely on federal services, @jayapal.house.gov has some FAQ on her site to help you understand the impact: jayapal.house.gov/government-s... She's continuing to do her job as our representative. Her office phone is open if you need help.

Fans say handmade paper zines more relevant than ever in an age of digital surveillance “Zines bring people to the table and they can move people beyond, toward action,” says Cynthia Hanifin, founder of Zine Club Chicago www.wbez.org/in-the-loop-...

In keeping with my perpetual theme of mutual aid and community building... To borrow from @timothysnyder.bsky.social, we need to make eye contact with - and then get to know - those around us to keep each other safe. And coat your city in zines to spread the word. 📒🦋 Read On Tyranny, too. ❤️‍🩹

If anyone needs me, you can find me buried in Chapter 25.12 of Seattle's municipal code, "Landmarks Preservation". Now taking bets on whether we'll see an increase in nominations of buildings in the new Neighborhood Centers as "historic" in response to the Comprehensive Plan. #nimby vs #yimby

Here's the zine of our interview with Shannon of @remorahousedc.bsky.social mutual aid project about the Trump admin's deployment of national guard and federal police to harass Washington DC, particularly youth, undocumented neighbors and Black communities. Find it at tfsr.media/September2025
