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

[Alcohol] Cheers. #cocktail #alcohol

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.

Puzzle check (from last night). #puzzlez #JigsawPuzzles #jigsaw

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.

[The saddest thing you’ll see all day] #DogsOfMastodon #notmydog

Beautiful day to fly out of #seattle. Mount Rainier, St. Helens, Adams, and Hood all present and accounted for.

Current status: camped out in the lobby of my apartment building, waiting for FedEx to deliver the replacement insulin pump they were supposed to deliver yesterday. #diabetes

Insulin pump failure on a Friday night means the soonest they can get you a replacement is Tuesday. 😭 Don’t get diabetes. It’s too stressful. #diabetes #medical

Ugh, this is disappointing: as of January, the Monorail will no longer be a free transfer in the ORCA transit network. Each Monorail ride will require a $4 fare payment. #Seattle #transit#seattle https://www.seattlemonorail.com/2026-orca-transfer-policy/

I am an adult. I’m short, yes, but this is ridiculous. The hood on this truck is higher than my shoulder. It forms in 90° angle with the ground. hideous! There’s no way they could see me in the crosswalk. They were double parked. Even with the engine off it […] [Original post on sauropods.win]

Testing out new contact lenses, and the prescription for my right eye is definitely not correct 😭

I should probably wash the dishes and listen to my audiobook instead of refreshing a webpage waiting for the 8pm ballot drop but come on, it’s already 8:10pm and no results? #seattle

I am trying to psych myself up to go grocery shopping. I do not want to go grocery shopping. We need food for dinner. I do not want to go grocery shopping. I will get myself a tasty lunch treat while I’m out.

Go #sounders.

Why is this #sounders game starting so late at night?

One trick-or-treater so far (a very small fireman). I think there’s only about four kids in our apartment building, so it’s never a big scene.

The Insulin That Worked Yesterday Doesn’t Work Today: The Story of #diabetes

I’ve got a long list of things I need to do today. I just went grocery shopping, but I didn’t actually have that on the list, so I don’t get to cross it off. What is even the point?

Today’s side quest: raking the leaf debris out of this blocked gutter drain. Extremely satisfying to watch this giant puddle drain. (I did a few other drains too, this was just the most dramatic one.) #seattle

It’s tea season.

Current conditions: thunder, lightning, rain, blue skies, dark clouds, bright sunshine, and a rainbow. #Seattle #wawx

“This is not the time for hope.” — Seattle mayor Bruce Harrell. #seattle https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:mvuk5qvagm4ljx3lwj4vmb6v/post/3m26m3rk35c26

Not many people know this but SDOT planned a big open streets event for September 17, 2017. A Cascade-led version made it to the mayor's desk with a route, budget, org chart, branding, and detailed plan, and Mayor Durkan killed it.

The "quaint" neighborhoods incumbent house owners have said must be "protected" from renters through tree requirements were built by clear-cutting Seattle's old growth forests so that people who colonized this area could live in what they considered unpopulated wilderness.

“Wildland fire veterans are seething at a claim made by federal officials that two crews raided by immigration agents at the scene of a wildfire in Washington state were ‘NOT firefighters.’ Many political figures and media outlets have repeated the claim, even though public documents show the […]

This is a wild article about fallout from the #washingtonstate Bear Gulch firefighter immigration action by Alex Brown of the Washington State Standard. Some of the on-the-ground firefighters think the immigration raid was a setup by the California management team that was overseeing the Bear […]

Nice night for a match. #Seattle #sounders #leaguescup

Building housing at a density (four floors) necessary to attract services (corner stores) that enable residents to serve their daily needs without a car (15-minute neighborhoods) is essential for affordability.

A little light reading with dinner. Preparing for pump start on Monday. #diabetes #t1d
