Light rail finally connects Seattle to Bellevue and the east side of the lake! I haven’t ridden yet. I’m tempted to get some hair curlers and flip flops to wear on my first train trip to Bellevue, just to spite Kemper Freeman Jr. #seattle #transit #SoundTransit #linklightrail#SoundTransit#transit…]

The Summer War by Naomi Novik. I read it in a single afternoon and cried at the end. #books #reading #bookstodon

Seattle Central College is trying to shut down its very successful Wood Technology Program, again. They want to sell the valuable real estate in order to (temporarily) fill a budget hole. This is so shortsighted! The college should be expanding their construction training programs, not cutting […]

I’ve really enjoyed reading the Nevermoor series by Jessica Townsend. I’m kind of bummed to be all caught up. Now all I can do is wait impatiently for the next book to be published. #reading #books #bookstodon

Here's a free idea: No refuelling private jets. ✈️ No matter what price they can afford. Should be an obvious step 0 in a fuel crisis. But we wouldn't ever do anything to inconvenience the ultra rich, wouldn't we? #fossilfools

Dynamic pricing is such a scam. I was at Best Buy looking at something and in 10 min it jumped $200. lol

After that game, I’ve decided I don’t like soccer anymore.

I’ve found a surprising number of sesame seeds between the pages of this library book.

Playing chicken with my insulin pump. 5 units should be enough to cover dinner… in theory. Then the plan is to shower and put in a new infusion set with a filled cartridge. #diabetes

Car-free Pike Place is so successful, if it was a clinical trial, it would be halted immediately to get the treatment in the hands of doctors without further delay.

I went to Pike Place right when they opened it to cars at 4:00pm and decided to follow the first car to drive in. Are they a vendor making a delivery? Are they a customer picking up a case of wine? I was curious.

Just finished reading A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms by George R. R. Martin. It’s great! Haven’t been back to this realm in several years. I wish there were more tales of Dunk and Egg. #reading #books #bookstodon

It starts snowing and suddenly everyone remembers the #mPING app. #wawx

It’s like 40 degrees Fahrenheit so it really should be raining, but not yet! #seattle #WAwx #snow

It’s snowing, I’m wearing my snowflake sweater, and I don’t have to go anywhere today. Almost perfect. All I lack is a cozy cat.

My pharmacy just called me to make sure I knew my three-month supply of continuous glucose monitors would cost me over $1,000. Yep. I have a high-deductible health insurance plan and the deductible resets at the beginning of the year, so that’s what I was expecting to pay out of pocket. Still […]

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

If you were affected by the Comcast/Xfinity internet and tv outage this morning, be sure to request your $5 account credit. (It’s dumb that they don’t automatically credit the affected accounts, but of course they don’t.) #seattle […]

Tea steeping in the cat mug.

Last night I dreamed I was eating a white bread English muffin. It was dry and had an unpleasant grainy texture. Don’t worry, I counted the carbs and dosed insulin in my dream. My carb estimate of 29 grams was pretty close, considering this is not a food I’ve eaten since being diagnosed with […]

Does anyone know of any mastodon accounts posting wild animal images/video from trail cams? Especially wild cats? #askfedi

Happy Link lines 1&2 interlining to all who celebrate! My partner is already seeing the benefits. #seattle #transit

Ski jumping looks fun.

It’s puzzle weather in Seattle this afternoon. #jigsaw #puzzle #jigsawpuzzle

It is my 3-year cancerversary this week, so it is also time for my annual post: 💉 The HPV vaccine (gardasil) prevents the throat cancer I had, as well as many other cancers 💉 You can get it up to age 45 (although in the US your insurance may not cover it ☹️) 💉 Your kids (of all genders) should […]

I sent the one-sentence email I was struggling to compose. Please clap.

I’ve been thinking about switching my duolingo from French to starting on Spanish for a while now, and I think I’d better go ahead and do it. That was pretty cool.

One year ago today, I walked into the ER and was almost immediately diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and type 1 #diabetes

Just finished Nuclear War: A Scenario by Annie Jacobsen. Grim. Nuclear weapons are so sickeningly stupid. 5/5 #books #bookstodon #reading

Writer Dan McQuade died. Very sad news. https://defector.com/dan-mcquade-1983-2026

Yes, it is very normal for my close personal friends to include “Reply STOP to unsubscribe” in their text messages to me.

I am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.

History: “Patient swallowed a soft Sea Horse.” I’m gonna guess the patient swallowed some kind of toy shaped like a sea horse, rather than an actual marine creature. #radiology

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

The Unread Emails number has gotten high enough that I just don’t want to open my inbox at all. So text or send a pigeon if you want to contact me.

Ope, low blood sugar. Guess my housework was too vigorous. I must relax on the couch for a while, for my health. #diabetes

The video here is harrowing, but the woman refusing entry to ICE gets stronger and stronger throughout. She also exercises her rights with skill and knowledge, doing so precisely as she should have. Every American should watch […]

Mama Kitty is an elderly retired barn cat who is enjoying spending the winter inside the human house. She used to be very standoffish, but now demands lap time and pets. #CatsOfMastodon #caturday #notmycat

Hmm, blood sugar trending down after lunch. I may have overestimated the needed insulin dose. Better have a cookie just in case, for medicinal purposes. #diabetes

Happy New Year, everyone! This is a @theguardian.com books cartoon from a few years ago.
