A story I’ll be mulling over for a while. Great, thought-provoking performance. Heavy topics but also both a humorous and raw portrayal of family dynamics.

Exactly one year ago today:

i can't stop thinking about jd vance laysplaining st augustine to the pope

I swear the past 4 lightning strikes in Seattle have all been directly above my apartment building. 🌩️⚡️⛈️

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

Melania: I never cut child in half with sword. I never do this. The entire USA: what? Melania: not me.

I don't know that I've ever seen a pope so radically reverse Catholic history, accepted theology for literally centuries, and call his predecessors corrupt and without divine mandate before. "God does not bless any conflict" is an UNBELIEVABLE rupture of theological continuity. Good for him.

Drama-filled game, but great victory for the Seawolves 🏉 home opener!

Apparently I’ve been living in a cave for the last 2 weeks, bc I finally heard the Jelly Roll World Cup song, and WTF… I need to listen to “Wavin’ Flag” to cleanse my eardrums.

The Kit Kat heist feels like a slow-burn April Fool’s Day joke…

My sister and nephew were driving through Ohio this evening and texted from the side of the road that they were hunkering down because of high winds and flying debris, and my PNW brain immediately went to Twister/worst-case scenario.

A single vote for Trump in the birthright citizenship case would be as bad as anything the Court has done since Bush v. Gore. This issue has been settled for more than a century. It is the jurisprudential equivalent of asking what 2+2 is. Any answer other than 4, something is deeply, deeply wrong.

and what do we call those who are anti-anti-fascism again? www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

The United States’ latest strike on a vessel in the Caribbean, which reportedly killed four people, highlights a sustained pattern of unlawful use of lethal force outside any context of armed conflict, amounting to extrajudicial executions. Read more:

I ran into so many old friends at the No Kings march in Seattle, it was great!

Wrapped up the No Kings march in Seattle and made it to Starfire at halftime for the Seawolves pre-season friendly against an amateur club team.🏉

Totally binge worthy!

A poignant play about some of the joys and stresses of caregiving.

1. How many of your ship’s planks did you replace since your last insurance payment? 2. How many of your ship’s planks did you replace since you first took out your insurance policy? 3. Have all the planks of your ship been replaced? buff.ly/yZoe2Ke

omg omg omg Season 2 of Deadloch is out

My alabaster milk child Teuton keeps asking for ranch dressing at the caviar factory, it is most epic. The fishmongers despise him.

‘Doesn’t Get Much Better Than This,’ Says Seattle Man Enjoying 37-Minute Window of Sunshine at Gas Works: tinyurl.com/24fw2w75

Today was heavy. Still grieving the news about Dolores Huerta. For survivors, moments like this can be incredibly triggering because it brings up how often people who cause harm are protected, and how often survivors are dismissed or not believed. Sending care to anyone who needs it 🫶🏾🫂🤎

Holding space for both realities the genuine progress of the farmworker movement and the harm done by its leader is not a contradiction. It is maturity. It is justice. Hugo Garcia Deputy Mayor

Peace to Dolores Huerta, a hero amongst heroes.

Venezuela won the World Baseball Classic for the first time, rebounding from a blown eighth-inning lead to beat the United States 3-2 Tuesday night on Eugenio Suárez's tiebreaking double in the ninth n.pr/4bhC325

GOP: the mail is secure enough to receive your photo ID, social security card, your debit and credit cards, your stimulus checks, and your tax returns Also GOP: the mail is not safe enough for voting

thinking about the hero of this game for Team Venezuela, Eugenio Suárez, and his comments about ICE’s effect on Latino baseball players just last week

Congratulations to GOLDEN on best song! And shame on the Academy for cutting the young man off after he won the #Oscars. It is disrespectful and cruel. Absolutely ridiculous and if you have a drop of respect left, let him speak. Let them all speak. They’ve EARNED it.

I get angry when the Oscars cut off winners’ speeches, especially in categories that aren’t for acting. Half the stupid jokes and bits throughout the ceremony could get cut. Not the thing we’re all actually watching for.🤬

Two hours later….

Absolutely cackling every time there’s a dig at AI at the Oscars

It took MONTHS to get “Golden” out of my head, thanks a lot Oscars… 😜

Took an embarrassing 40 minutes to figure out how to thread the new sewing machine my sister got me. 🤦🏽‍♀️😒YouTubers ftw

I realize that to people outside the PNW this is just an interesting news item, but if you're in the PNW, where tracking orca pods is a local religion, this is basically like being visited by alien gods

how ironic to see the state protect two people who sought to strip the state while working under the direction of elon musk, who has made it impossible to seek recourse when people get death threats and harassment on twitter

I thought everyone had already left the office when I decided to blast Stan Walker’s “I Am” and practice belting out the Te Reo parts. OOPS. Oh well, guess some folks know how I roll after hours in my cubicle. 😬

My first PWHL game, cheering on Seattle’s new team against Boston. Go Torrent! 🏒⛸️🥅

What's hilarious about this is that California, which is the tech and AI capital of the country, has a state income tax, the highest rate of which is 12.3% (vs 9.9% in the WA proposal), and the tax is on all income, not just income over $1 million. Yet somehow Silicon Valley is doing just fine.

This is a policy of genocide.

Compare AOC's statement to Schumer's. We desperately need to push out those ancient ineffectual Dems in charge.

they need to import this to the Stanley Cup playoffs, watching hockey players be handed stuffed animals while they seethe is the new funniest thing in the world

Had to switch to watching the Olympics closing ceremony on CBC because NBC did the stupid split-screen for an interview instead of focusing on the, you know, ceremony that everyone tuned in to watch in the first place. 😡

Seattle premiere of Fellow Travelers! Great performance at @seattleopera.bsky.social

BREAKING: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew) has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He is accused of sharing confidential government documents with Jeffrey Epstein. Unprecedented. Side note: it is Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s birthday today.

lent and ramadan kicking off on the same day

Cardinal Cupich: “Today is a day that speaks to all those who live in the shadows and in secret. Our immigrant friends know what it is like to live in the shadows, fearing a knock at their door…God does not need papers to see who you are.”

7 fire trucks, 2 other SFD vehicles, and anyone parked right outside my apt (like me!) at the top of Queen Anne can’t drive off the hill
