I have not been watching, but I am very happy to hear that Bad Bunny is winning the Super Bowl.

We are learning on 22-foot Catalina Capris, which have 2 sails, the main & the genoa (or jibe). I feel like 2 makes things a bit complicated but OTOH, when I eventually achieve my dream of owning a boat I can cruise around the sound on with a single main, it will seem comparatively straightforward.

I know this is probably sacrilege given the two places I’ve lived for any length of time are Massachusetts and Seattle, but I switched to Olympics replay of the men’s figure skating freestyle and now I don’t have to see any ads for AI, sports betting, or mass surveillance

Oh wow, is it a thing to feel like you’re still on the boat hours after you got off the boat?

Still no maritime pine martens on board 😢 but our little crew did pirate a bag of home ade cookies from the council (?) boat.

Would you LOOK at that ginger and the void?

About 200 gathered at an unveiling of a snow sculpture denouncing ICE in Minneapolis’ East Isles neighborhood. The sculpture, originally to be exhibited as Team USA’s entry to a competition in Stillwater, was destroyed because organizers believed it made a political statement, according to MPR.

I’m not saying that I enjoyed being in the rain and cold for four hours this afternoon but I can endure wet and cold so much easier than I can endure sun and heat.

I regret to report — and am deeply disappointed — there was not a cat, dog, otter, fox OR maritime pine marten on board!

Learned to tack and also, in theory, to jibe, but I kept tacking when I was supposed to jibe.

Ah yes, the traditional maritime pine marten

Is this supposed to be a cat or a dog or?

Reading some basics about wind in prep for sailing class and I think I’m gonna like this.

I think RH would appreciate that Kaleo just knocked over one of the terracotta urns holding his ashes. A little spillage, but nothing broken.

I know that was a easy and bad joke to make but he deserves it.

Gotta keep him away from the office chairs somehow

Both Robert Plant and Adam Ant are of Romani descent. TIL

Somehow I don’t mind being subjected to Adam Ant.

My office is hiring! We are primarily an appellate contractor with the Office of Public Defense. The work is interesting and fulfilling. For me, it’s a total dream job. If it sounds like it would be for you too, apply here: defensenet.org/nielsen-koch...

I love Kaleo but boy oh boy is he needy when it comes to food. I FEED YOU 3x a day every day, I am not going to forget!!!!!

The thread above this post is extremely interesting

I love that we have both noise demos and harmonious Singing Resistance calls for defections at the same hotels. Powerful movements need diverse tactics.❤️🔊🎶📢

Rainier Beach educators and community members are asking folks to continue to be present at the corner of Rainier and Henderson from 3:30-5 (around school dismissal time). Show up if you can!

Anyone in Minneapolis heard anything about this? A friend is trying to see if anyone got footage

Everything you’re hearing from the Trump administration is a lie. Today was one of the most active days in Northeast since the entire Operation Metro Surge began. Nothing is changing on the ground in Minneapolis, no matter what headlines Trump and Homan try to create.

Just saw what looked like an entire middle school taking over the big intersection closest to my house with ICE OUT signs and Mexican flags and all!!

Unsurprisingly, the state treats our MFH solely as commercial/for profit and not like owner-occupied homes. Like the city. More renters and MFH-single unit owners on the leg please.

One benefit of tech being so shitty is that I can now legitimately say that neither meet nor teams work at all in my environment and I plan to just use the phone to call in.

Didn't Sawant get slapped with an ethics violation for merely *Linking* to Am-zon tax info? (Absolutely do NOT @ me about your complaints about Sawant. It's not about her and your feelings about her, it's about Wayne Barrett's inconsistent rulings.)

“This week, SPD finally took action to comply with Superior Court Judge Sandra Widian’s ruling, sending notices with actual dates when the first (or next) installments of records will be available.”

Does anyone know who was harassing Cats of Yore? Just so I can block them.

If you didn’t make it into The Great Saunter you could stay tuned for the Seattle Super Saunter dates and visit us out here www.seattlesupersaunter.com

Having an extremely disappointing and fucked up experience trying to give someone $ via GFM that is going to have me revert to my previous policy of never giving through them.

Yesss omg, a municipal Seattle social and affordable housing construction crew! In house, public employees. Becoming experts in their craft and getting better and better over time

Ooops, I did it again (possibly broke a toe while doing mundane household shit).
