Finally reading this, which means you're sleeping on the job, algorithm. If there were ever a novel that should have found me on day one, it's this: #space #women #astronomy #nerds #crisismanagement #books

@romanmars.bsky.social on the strength of this alone, I'm going to consider you to be "in talks" AS WELL. #wwrmd

For those seeking comfort or at least wisdom from #presidential #history, the @netflix.com series about Garfield and his assassin is excellent; it spotlights the role of special interests/personal rivalries/ego/delusion in #politics. Also Matthew Macfadyen = A+ www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jop...

I can't be the only person who ponders the marriage of #MatthewRhys and #KeriRussell an *unseemly* amount.

The one swap I'm making this season is a word change: kategace.substack.com/p/the-one-sw...

Good #TV if you need some comic relief to go with your mental grappling about #AI (and, I would argue, #democracy): www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6lz...

Of course I check on them every night now. Den 2. nationalzoo.si.edu/webcams/chee...

This afternoon in Fort Ward on Bainbridge island. I wonder if these old barracks will ever be repurposed. I hope so. #seattle #pugetsound

The whole thing is fascinating but at 14:30 watch lifelong New Yorker DJF: 1. Learning what it costs for one swipe on a MetroCard; 2. Enjoying the mouthfeel of these strange new words "affordability" and "groceries." www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptzw...

Thank you for #cheetahcam @davidplotz.bsky.social! It is in fact all that and a bag of chips. nationalzoo.si.edu/webcams/chee...

Ollie has started his weekend.

Big and bigger. #seattle

Is @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social *this* close to deposing Woolf as my favorite Writer Named Virginia? Yes she is. ::resumes spontaneous head swivels because I KNOW: it *is* a crazy-high bar::

Wherein I confess why I kept taking to the woods in 2024. kategace.substack.com/p/why-i-an-a...

@karaswisher.bsky.social @profgalloway.com yes to moving toward #universalhealthcare asap but it was really weird to hear you say so cavalierly that young people don’t even need healthcare. Surely you know what it costs to have a baby uninsured?! open.substack.com/pub/kategace...

Just trying to imagine how smug QAnon must be feeling these days. #Epstein

@harvard.edu are you seriously asking me for money while Larry Summers continues to teach???

Yesterday was signature #Seattle. The only evidence that there is a sun somewhere = a light grey strip between the darker grey strips. But, especially with a finish-able puzzle on the boat ( 🙌 @ferries.wsdot.wa.gov ) it was cozy not depressing. Perfect Saturday.

I squeeze A LOT of live #theater into my modest budget by going to see my friends' kids in all their high school productions. It's such a joy! Really looking forward to tonight's show at Garfield in #Seattle.

Omg this is what my (then) 7yo did to her dollhouse when she got a bunch of gold glitter stickers from Joann's.

I love how @hannarosin.bsky.social does "radio" so I suggest listening--but this is a good snapshot however you consume it. My view: yep many investors will lose but that doesn't mean #AI is overhyped in terms of its (wildly uneven) impact on people. That's real. www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/202...

This isn't getting a lot of attention outside of #Seattle but it was an exciting race: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

I wrote this yesterday, not even sure if I believed it. Because I write to find out what I think (h/t Joan Didion), it was a worthwhile exercise, even with a lot of pushback coming to my inbox. kategace.substack.com/p/hear-me-out #shutdown #Democrats

This is sad and beautiful: youtu.be/0xlVAr6JZ9A

The mountain was out today. #PNW

Homeward bound! High five to the gate agent who announced: “I need one more person to check their bag.” PAUSE “I need a hero.” PAUSE “I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night. He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast. And he's gotta be fresh from the fight. PAUSE “Thank you, sir.”

Just realized I never ever want to see a big media presences at the airport.

Five #photos from my week: kategace.substack.com/p/dcs-every-...

Photographing a cool bird. Ensuring that the dappled light doesn’t get out of control. #dc

I can think of some stuff. #peopleshouse

Thank you @pelosi.house.gov for your leadership—both in serving so effectively and in stepping aside to make way for new talent.

Due to travel snafus I got to listen to all of today's oral argument audio. It's weird that this was surprising but I detected a #SCOTUS soft spot (pretty much across the board?) for--sit down for this-- #ruleoflaw .

@dahlialithwick.bsky.social how do the #SCOTUS justices handle turn taking, i.e. who asks a question next? I'm imagining some kind of Jeopardy-type button but I'm guessing you'll tell me otherwise.

Is the main point of #HouseofDynamite that we don't have serious people in these critical roles right now? Because that is the only thing I can think watching it.

The last time I got an update on Andrew Lih, I was walking around Seattle with his equally formidable wife, my friend @meifong.bsky.social. Next thing I knew he was one of two people who disarmed a man with a gun at a @wikipedia.org conference. Andrew's related post is a must read: lnkd.in/grjXzhHV

Strolling > scrolling. #dogsofbluesky

Re. the Gatsby-themed Mar-a-Lago bash the same weekend SNAP benefits are running out? ::head on desk:: This is what happens when you don't do the reading.

You guys I wish I had a photo of this trick-or-treater. Picture a teeny-tiny gecko. In a raincoat.

Trick or treater: "I like your slippers.” Me: "What slippers?” Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻 🐻

A short scheduling post: kategace.substack.com/p/sorryno-zo...

This is a really good read, especially for those of us who love technology but hate the way we're feeling right now. Thank you @stevenlevy.bsky.social. www.wired.com/story/silico...

#Healthcare is one of many reasons I'm firmly in the #FightOligarchy camp. Today I wrote about it. @sanders.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social kategace.substack.com/p/it-doesnt-...

Same. Samesamesame.

Master gardeners, tell it to me straight: will this fuchsia survive the winter—and continue to bloom—because I brought it inside? Or is this just the wishful thinking of an amateur? #bloomscrolling

Because I'm a big softie (softy?), I could not love this more. (@sarahwiggly.bsky.social thank you for the preview. ❤️🙌❤️)

So fire.

51 weeks of the year this tree just looks sad. But this week it’s all like: dude, it’s called *method acting.*
