This is the most important thing I've seen and posted since I started posting. It's true, it is gut-wrenching. Bless those two American patriot pilots. If I were in their shoes, I swear to God, I would have done the same thing. bsky.app/profile/sunn...

We’re now hearing from Christian Joose in Columbus about how Black woman can take control of design their careers. #BWAbrunch

Licensed architects in the US, by numbers from NCARB: 62% white men 20% white women 4% Asian men 3% Asian women 4% Latine men 2% Latine women 1% Black men 0.4% Black women #BWAbrunch

So great to hear my old friend Denise in her inspired grounding remarks for today’s Black Women in Architecture Brunch. #bwabrunch Thanks also to @nomanw.bsky.social for hosting the Seattle get-together today!

Sometimes you get upgraded and your luggage stickers get more awkward.

I can see my breath outside today.

My dear old friend is running for Assessor in New Orleans. You should vote for him if you live there, and send his campaign some money if you care about that magical city. As Casius always says, “Be a New Orleanian, wherever you are.”

Think of the dumbest person you know. Dumber people than that are running whole branches and offices for agencies of the federal government right now.

🔥🔥🔥

I am wishing a lovely evening to everyone *except* this guy who parked at the grocery store blocking my ability to get into my car, the gray car on the right.

When the high school teachers have pencils, tampons, and saltines on their classroom wish lists, we've definitely made some *choices* as a society.

Alright, first people near me that I clocked leaving ZooTunes tonight left at 7:33pm, after just 3 songs of the headline act, Japanese Breakfast. Two adults, no kids in tow. The sun will set at 8:43pm.

I’d like to thank my husband for being gentle when he pointed out that Nike was probably repping *a different LBJ* when I pointed out these shoes to him and asked why a sports company would brand itself with Lyndon Baines Johnson.

Just ran into our newspaper delivery person—delivering our papers at 9:30am—who told me that the reason she’s been running late so frequently recently is that “they decided they need to have the sports scores before they can print.”

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Going to be wild to have Clarence Thomas and other members of the court write that even the appearance of impropriety is sufficient to allow the President to remove Federal Reserve members from office, and then head off to Harlan Crow’s yacht

This video should be Exhibit A in the crimes against humanity trial for every government agent standing there in that video - and the people in positions of authority, from Trump on down, who ordered them to do it.

literally every time I talk to friends

DC will always rise.

Air Canada could tell me that the flight attendants have begun eating the passengers and selling their luggage for drug money and I would still side with the flight attendants

While the federal goons are running around DC trying to beef up arrest stats and run as many names through ICE databases as possible, please encourage vulnerable folks to minimize car trips. If one must drive, any infraction—no matter how small or how old—is an enormous risk.

Agents amass in DC, unclear why or which agency. Some masked. Residents: “You’re in a church parking lot—get out!” “We don’t want you kidnapping our neighbors!” Agents start recording too. Soon decide to leave, some mockingly wave their phones. They zoom down the 25mph road, skimming by our feet.

What percentage of the world’s clownfish population do you think is named “Nemo”? (at Children’s Hospital)

The federal takeover of DC police includes traffic stops on 14th Street where they arrested drivers for infractions like expired tags and not wearing seatbelts, groups of ICE and DEA agents in tactical military gear patrolling sidewalks in Georgetown. 51st.news/trump-dc-mpd...

Is there a photography competition for delivery confirmation photos?

Remember back in 1992 when the Geto Boys released "Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta" and there was a verse about how the U.S. President (then referencing George H.W. Bush) was the U.S. the biggest gangster in the world? The lyrics seem...quaint.

This was my 6th time seeing Lucy Dacus perform, but the first where my kids—who are now also superfans—joined. @lucydacus.bsky.social

We’re obsessed with #Wingspan. About once a year, we shuffle the Asian bird cards into the mix and play in “flock mode,” where we each manage three boards at once. It was today! @stonemaiergames.com

Checking on the latest drop of photos from summer camp and…okay, she’s probably my kid.

I like the play-making strategy of American football, but I haven’t been able to stomach watching a game in probably 15 years. Watching the NFL is like watching an ancient Roman spectacle of watching a gladiator fight a lion. How do let this be our national sport? www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/mor...

Does anybody know why KEXP is playing Mariah Carey for hours?

Having grown up rooting for a two-syllable baseball team, I managed to muddle through 13 years of smooshing “Nash-nuls” into the “home team” slot in the 7th inning stretch, but ai would accept Settle fans’ advice for smooshing “Mar-i-ners” in there. #mariners #SeaUsRise

I was on a call today about the design of early learning centers, and someone dropped this preschool project in France as a design inspiration. How freaking cool is this giraffe? www.phaidon.com/agenda/archi...

Speaking of the moderate Seattle Times Editorial Board… Literally none (0) of their City of Seattle endorsements is leading their race. Even in this low turnout primary. I would love to see them explore why that is.

the fucking gall of Alvin to name his band ‘Alvin and the chipmunks’. As if he’s not a fucking chipmunk too

A maddening story about how we prioritize drivers in our society: My kid is away and needed a prescription filled. I had it sent to a pharmacy near them, the pharmacy called that it was ready, and my stepdad went to pick it up. 1/3

I can achieve just two styles of eyeliner: 1) Undetectable 2) Murder Clown on their 6th bar in a pub crawl

Seattle: this Sunday would be a great day to fill out and drop off your ballot if you haven’t already. I hope you’ll join me in supporting: @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social for Mayor, and Dionne Foster and @alexis4seattle.bsky.social for Council.

Hey America, you ok? You've barely touched your CHECKS AND MOTHERFUCKING BALANCES

Next month’s job numbers are the street you grew up on and the last thing you ate.

My good Seattle people: I have 6 extra tickets to tonight’s sold-out closing game of the Dubsea Fish Sticks. Free to a good home. Can anyone use them? DM me. gofishsticks.com

My teenage kids use this app called Bump. It’s mostly about silly social stuff like sending each other emojis, but one feature is a “scratch map” showing the “hexes” you’ve visited and I’m obsessed. Any other adults out there using it?

I'm a member of this group and a co-signer on the amicus brief in the Harvard case. Here CAAF's Statement on Columbia’s Deal with the Trump Administration: www.columbiaalumniforacademicfreedom.org/caaf-stateme...

Love me a bit of Sade.

This is an amazing way of writing “most of the world”

Hilarious things you see on a construction job site.

Gate D1 is where the robot wheelchairs rally at SeaTac.

Pretty good, Minneapolis. Even if Aquatennial was a Chamber-of-Commerce invention to paper over the anniversary of Bloody Friday. I can both enjoy explosive art _and_ learn about the people’s history when visiting during my first Aquatennial.
