Praise be Hot Rat Summer, for it is eternal.

Same.

We put a trash can and a container of Lysol wipes on the toilet lid before we left for a week. Can’t have sewer rats in the house. Came home, no drowned rats. 😮‍💨

Seattle Man Leaves Out Plate of Cheese for When St. Rat Comes Up Through Toilet Tonight: tinyurl.com/nhf8cr8s

We had a lengthy conversation about toilet rats during Xmas dinner.

Still prescient. (Four dogs, three small children/babies)

Yes-yes! Home will be blessed!

Happy Wet Rat Winter to all who celebrate.

This is hilarious. IYKYK

🤣💀 #cascadia

Christmas customs have really evolved since I left America

I had my kids trained to leave out a beer for santa, but I see that I should have worked cheese into the mythology.

This is the mashup we needed.

Is this why Seattleites keep wishing me a "Yiffy Ratsmas" ???

“What day is it boy?” “Christmas Day Mr. Scrooge! Your last as governor unless you get your shit together.”

this is so niche Seattle in multiple ways 😅

This is how the holiday evolves when homes are built without chimneys.

And people say the PNW is a godless wasteland. Merry Ratsmas to all and to all a good bite.

wow, we leave out cheese here in NYC too! it's so cool how far traditions can spread.

God bless us everyone

At press time, Nathan was nestled all snug in his bed while visions of more religiously good public art showing up in 2026 danced in his head when on the bathroom floor there arose such a splatter, he sprang from his bed to see what was the chatter.

Merry Christmas, one and all!

I actually had a rat come up in the toilet when I was like 7 and I had nightmares about it 'cause I thought it was gonna eat my butt lmfao

A Democrat actually listening to the polling on taxing the rich is the real Christmas miracle

When I had pet rats street rats would smell it and interact with me at like bus stops and shit

I'm on the fourth floor but I believe 🙏🐀✨

Oh my.

It would be great if the Ghost of Christmas Present could stop him from his current quest to destroy K-12 education, but fuck them kids, right?

Too bad the Spirits didn't visit him before @governorferguson.bsky.social defunded Early ECEAP.

Asked why the millionaire tax Ferguson supports wouldn't go into effect until 2029 after his potential re-election, the Ghost of Christmas Future said, “Look, I did my best with what I was working with, give me a break—I’ve got a long night ahead of me with Bill Gates.”

Look, maybe more witches need to do the hard and meaningful work of trying to influence taxation policy.

“I also don’t want to end up getting trounced in 2028 by someone no one had even heard of a few months before like Mayor Bruce Harrell just did. Oh, also a lot of other bad things would happen to other people too and I also definitely care a lot about that as well.”

My favorite thing about The Needling is how /r/Seattle users are utterly incapable of identifying satire, even when a post says Satire at the top and the website describes itself as "real fake news"

This actually explains a lot. Now to get him to see the fault in his ways over highway funding

Assuming this stupid ghost is a centrist for trying to prevent a Wilson administration.

Can we get the tax on millionaires AND a new governor?

Definitely feeling it. 🌙
