@jilllightner.bsky.social have you seen the bumble aster hospice article?

@underwaterlance.bsky.social this story isn't naval, but 1. million pounds of fireworks 2. conspiracy involving the local sheriff department I'd read this book. www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...

@jilllightner.bsky.social seen this?

Hey stranger I hope your message helps you ride the bus in peace.

@jilllightner.bsky.social @roblightner.bsky.social @jess357.bsky.social this sounds like your interest zone.

Rest in power, Jesse. youtu.be/ereeR87LkHM

I don't design trophies. I'm just over here critiquing them. Getting the balance of "recognized as a trophy" and some degree of uniqueness isn't an easy task. If the design looks like an upright vacuum, try again.

Let's promote your friends and family who've done the difficult work of publishing books.

I just realized my (Seattle-based nonprofit) publisher has a sale on. I'm proud of the 2nd edition here--new science, new chapters on leafcutter bees and assorted solitary bee pests, and a bazillion new color photos. Lots of titles for outdoors topics of all kinds if pollinators aren't your jam.

Portland frogs follow the grand tradition of mocking fascists. In Finland, years ago, it was LoLdiers of Odin clowns wanting to play with the Soldiers of Odin, who they perceived as fellow clowns. youtu.be/Agv1mFniQa8

The way to be a normal dude re: trans folks is to be supportive of them personally and militantly protective of their rights in politics. If 'real men' are 'protectors,' fucking protect this

Thrilled to get tickets to Manuel Cinema's new show on their Seattle date! manualcinema.com/work/the-4th...

Having a Rainier Smash cocktail and discussing closed Seattle restaurants. Thanks to Maria Hines for a great summer drink.

At the Seattle #nokings march, I was given a sticker and homemade trinkets (i.e. New Orleans Mardi Gras "throws"). So cool! I want to give handmade throws during future protest marches!

If Kamala had won... Seattle's #nokings march had tens of thousands. Good turnout across the country.

Loved this article about the Washington State cremation capacity problem: www.seattletimes.com/pacific-nw-m...

@underwaterlance.bsky.social this relates to Chamber Divers, though not naval. Is it nutty enough to write about? apnews.com/article/moun...

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only

I gave blood today. And realized I'm about two years away from donating 100 units in my lifetime. I'll get a leaf on the Tree of Life display. Habit x many years

Florida settle down.

Yesterday I forgot to give thanks to the birth of Bartolomeo Cristofori, inventor of the piano. Huzzah to Bart for saving us from the plinky-plink terribleness of the harpsichord!

My friends created an immersive theater/escape room mashup in Seattle. I playtested it last week. Last night I saw the finished show. It's a good time with some theater, exploring, and light puzzling. It runs this weekend and the next two, then disappears forever. litimmersive.com

Dropped off my ballot today in Seattle. Voting early spreads out the labor at the elections department, making their jobs easier.

Quick crafting moment to include everyone this holiday season.

Post-Thanksgiving breakfast of bourbon pecan pie and coffee. Yum.

Holiday public transit use win.

@manningkrull.bsky.social Loved the Halloween prop blog entries. BTW I get a lot of joy from cordless hot gluing. This is my solution. It doesn't warm up any quicker than plug-in types unfortunately.

I love when orgs share how they solved a particular problem. Sharing is good! Making unimportant details into secrets is bad. Bravo @404media.co !

This father and sons drama could so easily be a future Fargo season. Go, Noah Hawley, go! www.inquirer.com/news/tony-lu...

@jilllightner.bsky.social don't miss this.

@jilllightner.bsky.social we use those nouns.

@jilllightner.bsky.social relevant to yesterday's discussion

@jilllightner.bsky.social a book for you
