Dan Strauss, letting me down as usual

@transit.app I’ve had a bug lately where when I need to transfer, it acts as if I’m walking to the transfer point despite already being on the bus connecting me to that point.

Pop the champagne 🍾 🥂

It’s hard to imagine any recent mayor caring enough to issue a statement like this. Katie knows road deaths are preventable and Seattle can do better.

I voted for a mayor that acknowledges the tragedy of these events and will work tirelessly to make them occur less frequently. My heart breaks for Allie and her family. I’m glad that Katie is doing what she can to bring justice.

Imagine if we only closed a roller coaster long enough for a fire truck to hose the blood off the tracks

It is literally life and death if you speed

Finally got my @transit.app wrapped!

I want to be involved but I’m so afraid that my phone number will be sold to every liberal political group this side of the Mississippi and I’ll be bombarded with texts. Anyone know if Wilson’s transition team is safeguarding against this kind of thing?

Yes, the Sound Transit wayfinding is terrible. But I keep seeing that cardinal directions shouldn’t be used either, and I disagree. NYC stations use “uptown/downtown” essentially like cardinal directions and that’s pretty well understood.

One of the biggest drivers of high housing costs is that a small, highly motivated group of incumbent homeowners block new housing in their neighborhoods and almost no one is organized to push back. Young people bear the brunt of that imbalance. Be a housing fan.

Strong start from Kent/Star Lake Station

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

Besides an awful, inaccessible, unlit underpass, there is a full mile of 15th (between NW Leary and W Dravus) that has no controlled crossing.

A completely safe, well-maintained temporary bus stop.

And how much Transportation is hidden in the other categories? What portion of Housing costs is the garage under your apartment building? What portion of Food is the sea of parking surrounding the supermarket? What portion of Healthcare is car-related injury and respiratory disease?

Feeling vindicated in this feeling, and also relieved, after how close this election was (still is).

Seattle mayor-elect (almost) Katie Wilson, welcome to The War on Cars.

I have no idea why our mayor-elect follows me on BlueSky, but I humbly accept this position on the transition team /s

@ King County Elections

I’m pretty sure the King County elections results have been posted later and later with each drop (excluding election night)

this is literally never not accurate

Y’all mind if I post some random photos of our beautiful city?

Happy Four Seasons Total Lanscaping day to all who celebrate!

Soooo when can Seattle reopen that discussion on banning gas-powered leaf blowers?

DO THIS! I never have had issues before, but this time there was an issue with signature match. I just sent in a form on my phone to cure my ballot: info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/...

Your landlord voted already. Have you?

Annoying friends is a critical GOTV strategy today! I just got three people to commit to filling their ballots out and putting them in the box!

I am admittedly nervous about the Seattle mayoral election. Optimistic, yes, but nervous nonetheless. Drop your ballot in a box by 8pm!

It is 7:31pm on November 1, and I’m sad to say that I just lost Wham!ageddon

As I mentioned during our DC show the other night, years – decades! – of mayors tacitly tolerating cops and other city employees defacing their plates has made this much more difficult to deal with now.

Anyone know what’s up with King County Metro’s GTFS-RT feed lately? Updates to OneBusAway and the Transit app have been way behind the last few days.

Me when cars: 🙅‍♂️ Me when cute small car on low-speed European streets: 📸

The average driver is conditioned to commit countless acts of aggression and violence every day without even thinking about it and is actively punished by their peers if they try to do otherwise

Been a while since I said this but I’m gonna start photo posting a lot more because I’ve finally been in a groove and editing the photos I’ve taken over the last year, starting with this Paris shot from July

We demand Boop merch.

LET’S GOOOOOO

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

If you care at all about your online privacy and security, please, do not use this.

A visual metaphor if I’ve ever seen one

Looks like @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social was at #NoKings today. Any evidence that Bruce was there too? Proud to back a mayoral candidate that actually stands for something. Vote Katie!

Libbing out is good and we should do it more often.

That’s a whole lot of late buses

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”? anyway that’s why these events are important
