Siri, what's one way that I could prove the lack of basic logic inherent in transphobia with one stupid, ironic choice?

The planet is a climate activist.

Ugh. Get ready for more of this garbage: an anti-urban group in Toronto named “Integrity Toronto” has used AI to imagine terrifying neighborhood retail—with loitering, littering, and dance music!—apparently threatening to open right next to YOUR home. Integrity, indeed.

You love to see it.

🇳🇿 It’s New Zealand night, baby! 🇳🇿 We made: 🥧 Meat and cheese pies (with Impossible meat); 🌽 Keri Keri, a corn salad; 🐟 Ike Mata, a Māori dish of cured raw fish—like ceviche; and 🎂 a Pavlova. It’s subtle, but I made the slits in the top of my pie in the shape of New Zealand! #eatTheWorldAtoZ

Things are fine.

Last night was a celebration of the 30th birthday of the Communties, Environment, and Planning major at UW. I’ve been teaching adjunct in this program for 6 years, and it was a blast to see many former students and older alumni. CEP builds such a powerful community each year. Long live CEP!

👏 CHECK 👏 YOUR 👏 BALLOT 👏

My husband prevailed in the family movie selection process last night, but it was French avant-garde, and one kid refused to even start the winning movie, and then the other kid and I both fell asleep like 20 minutes in.

Just an absolute banger of an animal family

Final door-knocking shift energy! @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social

Getting ready for country #125 tonight: 🇳🇱 the Netherlands! 🇳🇱 #eatTheWorldAtoZ thezimbabwes.org

Okay, what are all the statistically most improbable plays that could happen possibly in a baseball game, and how are we gonna fit them all into innings 10-18?

The Dodgers just pulled those 2 outs out of thin air.

Boooooo! (Rhymes with Go.) (And the Vlad Junior hug looked great, too.) #goBlueJays

In case any urbanists out there are still on the fence about who they should root for in game 7 tonight….

Instagram has just served me an advertisement for fake nails that cure in the sunlight. On November 1st. In Seattle.

Tell me you don’t cook for a family or do your own grocery shopping…in one post.

Ugh. Quite a play, Dodgers. On to game 7.

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

This seems counter to the narrative they’ve been pushing, that only a Harrell administration will resist Trump. It seems like the Harrell administration is quite comfortable in a Vichy-style collaboration with the Trump administration.

Today, I served sliced pear to a grown woman (older than me, if I'm guessing), who has NEVER EATEN A PEAR BEFORE.

John Oliver mentioned this animal on his recent show, so i thought I'd tell you a little about the critically endangered #MountainChicken #SciComm🧪 by @grrlscientist.bsky.social #frogs🐸 #amphibians #caribbean #EndangeredSpecies #conservation🌎 grrlscientist.substack.com/p/giant-cari...

Great to be out in support of “the Most Qualified First-Time City Council Candidate in Years.” Let’s go, Dionne Foster! (And great to see @anitayandle.bsky.social @carlasrogers.bsky.social @carymoon.bsky.social @robharrisoncphc.bsky.social @qagggy.bsky.social out too!)

Hahahaha. Love a good political quiz! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

wait did ronald reagan just say go blue jays

On principle, I don’t think we should kill people to say that killing people is wrong. But if we can’t secure medical expertise (b/c doctors can’t ethically promote death) to insure that executions aren’t grotesque, then we definitely shouldn’t do it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

Wow.

I made a Pacific Northwest themed sign for #noKings today.

Seattle No Kings from the monorail

This is how I feel about 75% of complaints about air travel.

Great game to cap a great season, Tigers. Can’t wait for next year!

That is a booooolshit hit by pitch call.

Never should have let him visit Paris

From the Nobel Committee today: “Democracy depends on people who refuse to stay silent, who dare to step forward despite grave risk, and who remind us that freedom must never be taken for granted, but must always be defended – with words, with courage and with determination.”

I swear, in about twenty years, wealthy countries are going to be competing for immigrants, and wondering why they didn't bring in a whole lot of people twenty years earlier so their grew-up-here kids would be ready to join the workforce.

Can Seattle folks help me out? My 13yo’s favorite band is coming to town next month…to play only a 21+ show. I tagged the band in an instagram post to complain, and they responded that it was pi of their hands and up to the venue. Have you seen an all ages show at The Crocodile before?

That's my MAN(sard)

Even for the corporatist @seattletimes.com, this paragraph from their profile of Katie Wilson is appallingly classist. I already supported @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social for Mayor *and* I’m more impressed by her lived small apartment experience, which will help our city solve its housing challenge.

About last night: @ronnychieng.bsky.social and @hasanminhaj.com have a lot of insight about race and immigration in America, disguised as a comedy bit. Was glad to see it live. Also, I’d never been to the 5th Avenue Theater before, and it’s gorgeous.

The inspirational bit at the end is good, but I’m also glad to know that Jane Goodall had a burn list.

"You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make." Rest in Peace, Jane Goodall 🙏🏻
