Social housing! Sign in PRO, deadline 2/18 before 9:30 am.

Extreme wealth concentration hurts everyone. We can make different choices for better outcomes. Seattle did it. We can, too.

There are all sorts of problems with this. Boycott Starbucks.

Yes! We should do this! All of this.

There are good people out there doing good work. I keep finding them (or they keep finding me?) and it gives me so much hope, every single time.

Do… do you ever think that men might be too emotional to effectively govern?

Look up everyone.

No notes.

Is there some kind of sports game today?

"Speaking before the hearing, Jeremy Takala of the Yakama Nation Tribal Council said “extinction is not an option.”

With love to wetlands and to you. Also 😂

Let the scales drop.

Nature is endlessly fascinating.

The kids get it.

Today I was told that Washington State's budget woes are the result of Jeff Bezos moving to Florida. Big if true.

Yes.

"I still don't know how to explain to my 4 year old what these agents are doing when we pass by."

Thank you Rep. Thomas. ❤️

Kenmore Planning Commission is discussing neighborhood commercial this year. I am excited about the vibrancy and walkability awaiting the future of our neighborhoods with the (re)legalization of this land use. And look, @typewriteralley.bsky.social made it into our agenda packet!

Um. Best idea ever. Seriously.

No notes.

Me, neither. Seems like a losing prospect.

There is so much beauty in this godforsaken timeline.

I want it.

Yes to Medicare For All.

None of us, no matter where we are, can let up.

Thank you Urbanist Shoreline and @theurbanist.org for having me on the State of North Side Urbanism panel last night. It was an honor to share the stage with so many amazing regional leaders and hear from engaged community members!

🤔

Oh I guess they can.

My 13 year old sees the caption of the video I put on pause and reads it out loud: Man shot and killed by federal agents. Breaking news, he says, fish found living in the ocean. This is the world we are making for our children.

Then there was a friend.

This is how to do it.

Voting for funding that increases detention capacity with the justification that a continuing resolution would be worse is more of the same that has had us sliding down the slippery slope of fascism for quite some time. Tell me you are against ICE by voting against funding it at every opportunity.

“Without that consent, it’s very arrogant that the United States presumes that land can be for sale.” Manitok Thompson, Nunavut’s first female cabinet minister, agrees. “What are we … to be bought by anyone like slaves in (the) 1800s? We are so upset with that idea. It’s a paternalistic attitude.”

What if orcas, cows, corvids, AND beavers teamed up?

Note to self: There is much to delight in. January 2026.

Letter from a Birmingham Jail okra.stanford.edu/transcriptio... Beloved community.

Others are better listeners.

Medicare for all.

Same.

Yes, please.

They said no, which is a complete sentence.

Congratulations to Mayor Herbig and Deputy Mayor Sasson on their elections tonight and to Councilmember Adman on his first meeting. And thank you to city staff for the whirlwind, informative look ahead. 2026 has potential to be a good one locally. I look forward to watching this council in action!

It's the first Kenmore City Council meeting of 2026!

"In a reversal, the agency plans to calculate only the cost to industry when setting pollution limits, and not the monetary value of saving human lives, documents show." The quiet part shouted.

I was well into young adulthood in 2003, so I remember the pre-ICE world very well. Was it perfect? No. Has ICE made it better? Also no. The better world of our imaginations IS possible. It is a series of policy choices that ARE possible.

Beauty in shades of grey.

I feel lucky to live in a world with harbor seals. 🦭

Two Minneapolis dudes giving their thoughts about ICE. The kids are alright.

Familiar.
