If we accept the NIMBYish logic that unhoused people who prefer to live in Seattle than outlying suburbs with little transit access and few services should go back where they came from, it's a straight shot to busing people out of town and, for the 43% who are from out of state, to other states.

Happy Bisexual Visibility Day!

Aujourd'hui, 23 septembre, nous célébrons la journée internationale de la visibilité de la bisexualité Un thread, qui n'a pas vocation à être exhaustif ni à être la vérité absolue, juste à rappeler ce qu'est la bisexualité, des oppressions en qui découlent et tordre le cou à quelques mythes ⤵️

Toxicology principle that needs to be mainstream: The dose makes the poison. That’s true of everything. Water. Oxygen. Vitamin A. Vitamin D. Aspartame. Formaldehyde. A single pear contains 120 times MORE formaldehyde than what might be in a vaccine. 1/

That’s why I’ve proposed “News Notes,” which would give Seattle residents $100 to support local media outlets of their choice. Learn more in my interview on the Mostly Economics podcast: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAyw...

I’m deeply disappointed to learn that Cascade PBS has chosen to eliminate its newsroom and lay off 17 union workers. As a former Crosscut columnist, I believe strongly in long-form, local journalism. Seattle needs a thriving local news ecosystem. #thisisyourcity

On repeat!!

Idk it feels like something is shifting. This tweet was also the language of the AP push alert, and just now the Times chimed in:

Took a Covid test and I read the C line as Covid but it was the control line! 🙃

More than a dozen elected officials were arrested in or around 26 Federal Plaza in New York City, where ICE detains people in what courts have ruled are unsanitary conditions. www.wired.com/story/ice-ma...

Hello San Francisco! Your bison are a surprise!

The thing that’s hardest about having a day job is not being able to post threads like this all the time — it’s been hard to sit on sidelines for the comp plan. Thankful to @jp4all.bsky.social who have done so much & glad that the Share The Cities newsletter and action network can still do good.

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics. The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

🌳 🌲 We love trees. 🌳 🌲 And! 🚨 We want people to have lots of housing choices in Seattle. Advocates focused solely on trees are prioritizing short term policies with ** harmful ** generational consequences. Please sign & share this action letter today. 🚨 ⚠️ 📧 actionnetwork.org/letters/amen...

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH PSA: it is Hispanic Heritage Month. I thank you in advance for the adulation.

I think the think about the propaganda push around Charlie Kirk that I find most unsettling is that the whole strategy of raising the salience of this guy's death kind of depends either on hoping no one finds out about his life or assuming the ideological gloss will hold up under that scrutiny

Meanwhile in Seattle 🙃

Really encapsulates the experience of being in a meeting with the worst coworker in the office

Parents of young children should be organizing relentlessly for free universal childcare because this seems unsustainable. Truly. At the very least, folks should be vociferously backing politicians who run on this.

This is good travel weather:

I’ve participated in spreading misinformation on this platform and we all need to do better and stop doing this.

So thankful for peer coaches to help on my adoption search journey who understand me when most others can’t.

We need more movies and TV shows with friendly aliens.

Clearly failed mayor, Bruce Harrell, doesn’t want @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social to have a chance to talk about her amazing platform because he knows it’s aligned with the city, and he’s not. Check out Wilson’s plan for our city! www.wilsonforseattle.com/platform

this supercut of Mayor Bruce Harrell talking over and interrupting his challenger, Katie Wilson, delivers the vibe of the half-hour debate in a concentrated 20-second blast

Hello Bay Area People! I’ll be in SF Wednesday evening to Friday midday, then San Jose, then Sebastopol. 1. What should I do? 2. Where should I eat? 3. Need spicy food & photography exhibits 4. Bf likes fancy cocktails from non fancy places… where would that be? 5. I like shoe shopping.

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

you know it's good dub when the horn section is out of tune

NEIGHBORHOOD GREENWAYS ARE 100% COMPATIBLE WITH DENSE HOUSING.

This was on a Stay Healthy street. I did not stay healthy on this street

My partner just got hit by a car along our sidewalk-less neighborhood street at a crosswalk-less intersection in Lake City. 😡 His leg is messed up but if it had been a truck or he had been a small kid, it could’ve been deadly. How do I report this? 🤬🤬😡😡😡 @seattledot.bsky.social SAFE STREETS WHEN????

@ifbookspod.bsky.social gives me the confidence I need to try to write a book one day

We're close to reaching a chilling moment; the first time in history where the single largest group of people arrested by ICE in the interior and held in detention are people with no criminal record. The gap is now down to fewer than 300 people.

Celebrate the birthday of the one and only @hernando206.bsky.social at the Kraken at 8 pm !
