My first grade teacher. I complained one day about a boy in our class who had been mean to me. She looked me dead in the eye and said, "Kitty, not everyone has to like you."

Though he's one of the hardest men alive to keep up with, everyone wants a piece of Marshawn Lynch. For @seattletimes.com, spoke to the all-time great former Seahawks running back, BOTTOMS scene-stealer, & EUPHORIA newcomer about leaping into acting 📽️ Read here: www.seattletimes.com/entertainmen...

Heard yelling out in the alley. I peaked out the window and saw three room mates trying to move a couch.

Today's Mariners game was fun, but also felt so damn drawn out. The wind was definitely blowing toward the right field and wouldn't let up

Dropping in to say fuck okc thunder

Invited friends over for a movie night, but I fear the amount of food I'm making will send everyone into a deep sleep before the movie even begins.

Your occasional reminder the Seattle Public Library provides 72-hour access codes to the New York Times website (including Games, Cooking, Wirecutter, and The Athletic), and streaming access to a capped number of streaming TV and movie titles each month through Hoopla and Kanopy.

Lately I’ve been in an indie team making stop-motion animation. It’s just 4 of us (animator, writer, voice actor, sound designer). The show’s called The Tiny Angry Witch. It’s all basically hand made. No AI. It’s tiring, but we love what we do. So, anyway, here’s a Witch making rude noises:

I saw someone's parents (graduation weekend) stopping to look at my patio garden. They were in awe of all the plants 😊

There's a particular ballet slipper I love. Bloch Prolite II Hybrid Leather Split-Sole. It's technically discontinued, but a few shops still carry them. I first started wearing them when I was 13. They were hot shit then, and they're still hot shit to me.

objectively very funny that the president of the united states flanked by all three branches of government under his unilateral control simply cannot Organize an Event.

Vermeer’s Girl With The Pearl Earring will be shown in Osaka, later this year, and the press conference was as Japanese as you’d expect #Vermeer

I think a lot of Seattle bands that came on the scene in the 2010s are all overrated and not very good at songwriting or playing their instruments. I know I'm a snob and hater, but I truly feel the Seattle music scene has stagnated in the last 15 years.

Hey pals! I just ordered a book via Bookshop.org, which is not only *not* Amazon, it actually supports whatever local indie book store you choose - and oh hey! What's this I have here? Why, it's a refer-a-friend code so you can save 20% on your own order! Yay books! 🎉 refer.bookshop.org/wzh2gw22

I have a friend who quietly announced his divorce in his Instagram stories. I don't know his wife, as this buddy has been my online only friend for the past decade. But of course, my first thought was, "what did you do???".

when is AI going to get down to the real work we need it to do??? i am talking coal mines. give AI black lung. see if it can keep going.

It's Eid al-Adha! There's an event space down the block from the coffee shop I poster. Dozens of families have stopped in to grab donuts from the coffee shop before joining the festivities. I love seeing everyone in their shiny clothes.

Wearing my grandma's ruby earrings on the job like a fancy bitch. My mother let most of her jewelry languish in boxes for years. It's nice that between me and my sister, it's getting new life.

HEY GUYS so in a few months I'm moving to Champaign-Urbana, IL, to start an MFA in fiction at UIUC. I'm cautiously optimistic about grad school pt 2, and very pleased that people want to work with my writing for 3 years! If you have any connections in the area, PLZ send them my way. xoxo

My landlady dropped off some starts for me and my friend to add to our building garden! I'm gonna grow a cabbage!

We losing a war, gas is $6, Voting rights are destroyed and King Cheeto is like hey look at this let's fight on the lawn. Common fucking hillbilly.

A little update from my patio garden

Your reminder that this starts Black American holiday season, as Memorial Day emerged from formerly enslaved people tending Union graves in South Carolina, Juneteenth is…Juneteenth, and July 4 became a Black holiday after the Civil War, while many white southerners rejected patriotism.

A little update from my patio garden

Evan is one of the best interviewers out there! The Seattle trans community is in crisis, there isnt enough money to go around, and thousands of people (including myself) are moving here with nowhere to live.

Trying to take advantage of the good weather, we went out to the nearby park to lay out in the sun. After, there were bowls of ice cream.

hey new followers! check out my book! it just got nominated for an eisner award!!

Now that I finally have mastered a few potato salad and cole slaw recipes that are mayo free, I am so damn excited to eat my two favorite sides this summer

I finally finally washed my hair! The problem with having big hair is that you keep allowing yourself to put it off for another few days, as a bun or dry shampoo can hide most of your sins. Then it's too late, and you hate your life. Also, washing big hair is a whole production. So many products!

My husband likes to cuddle up on my left side, and the cat cuddles up on my right. It's very cozy in this bed.

This whole interview is incredible (h/t @cheatlines.co)

Today I saw a hipster cop. Hair pulled back in a bun, and wearing lime green framed glasses. I didn't know they made them anymore.

Libraries provide services to be used, so borrowing an e-book is just as important as borrowing a paper book off the shelves

My niece sent me a pic of her trying on her prom dress, and i'm gonna cry 😭

it should be illegal for a girl with such great tits to suffer this much

I'm sorry I was grouchy my ponytail was too high and tight

I was deadset on only applying to east coast schools, and then at the suggestion of a family friend, applied to a school in CA. I ended up going to the CA school, and it led me to looking for my father's family. I am close with those cousins to this day.

Watching all the tech people get laid off because of corporate greed a few years after seeing a thousand idiots respond “Learn to code” to journalists posting about getting laid off because of corporate greed is some real capitalism snake eating its own tail kinda stuff.

I think of a woman in my year who complained bitterly that the ballet class she took as an elective ruined her perfect gpa. I took the same ballet class, and you were essentially graded on participation. I'm pretty certain she kept blowing it off.

Every day I contemplate the fact that we still don't know what causes left-handedness. Ages ago we as a society decided it was totally normal and stopped punishing and ostracizing kids for it. Today the thought of being anti-left-handedness is bonkers to us. This is a post about trans kids.

The alt-text y’all

It was a lot of fun! Plus, they have pointe classes on Thursday nights! I would love to get back into pointe shoes again.

Trying out a new ballet studio tonight. Definitely a tiny bit anxious, but I'm hoping it will be a good fit

Feeling pretty excited about the sardine salad I'm gonna make for lunch

this is what some of you look like in short sleeve button-up shirts

My landlady grew up in my neighborhood. Her parents owned a few properties, including a building downtown that sailors on leave would rent. She was a pretty scrappy city kid. My building is the only one left her family owns, and at this point she lets us have the run of the place.
