Today, ProPublica launched a first-of-its-kind app to help you find out where your generic drugs come from and what the factories that made them are like. Here’s how to use it.

Seattle reflections.

Definitely love that I live in a carpet free abode, but vacuuming everyday is more of a vacuum every 5 minutes kind of situation. Prob time to procure a pet robo vacuum.

Reposting photos of women that resemble your ex is one of the strangest things I've encountered on the internet and it won't bring her back. JC.

The line of brown runoff spilling out of the Duwamish is extending further out past to bay towards Bainbridge Island. The sun is out so it is even more obvious. 😬

Tis the season for Lefse.

Man answering his phone on the train: Yes? Correct, I’m not at work (pause) I’m not going to answer that because I am not at work today. No, you’re going to have to ask someone who is. Goodbye.

Buy her book! Request it at your local libraries! Give it as a holiday book!

Bonus #ArtAdventCalendar day 17 - 🐡🧪👩🏼‍🔬🎢 #histsci Happy birthday to Gabrielle Émilie Le Tonnelier de Breteuil, Marquise du Châtelet (1706-1749), a natural philosopher, #mathematician and #physicist, shown here in my #linocut portrait with #diagrams from her ‘Principes Mathématiques de la Philosophie 🧵

Rain and wind are back, could use a fireplace for coziness. Our state is going through a lot with this extended atmospheric river event.

🧵 Ever wonder what the baby universe looked like—just 800 million years after the Big Bang? JWST has given us an amazing glimpse via a galaxy called Virgil, hidden in the iconic Hubble eXtreme Deep Field. ➡️ news.arizona.edu/news/monster... 🔭 🧪 #extragalactic #science #cosmology #JWST 1/11

The Skagit and Snoqualmie Rivers, as just two examples, are both expected to surpass major flood stage, cresting today and tomorrow. We're also expecting winds up to 60 mph. I want to remind Washingtonians to stay alert, listen to evacuation orders, and obey road closure signs.

Is this why TV is so bad rn

I am learning more about small businesses and entrepreneurs for a cool research project I'm working on... If you know of any cool work on the topic, especially at the intersection of race and gender, please share below: #askbluesky #bluesky #blacksky

Day 16 #artAdventCalendar the woman who figured out why lead is particularly stable & 2nd woman to win the Nobel Prize for #physics 🧪🐡👩🏼‍🔬🎢 #histsci: German-American theoretical #physicist Maria Goeppert Mayer (1906-‘72). As the series of increasingly large atomic nuclei grows with additional nucleons🧵

Did you know that Workday is being sued because an AI tool they sell for hiring actually discriminates against marginalized people? This is my shocked face.

Been on a George Michael sonic bender partially thanks to a distant relative on here posting about his stuff, and I found this one again. I was very young when it came out, had no idea what the lyrics ment, but thought it was a banger and wanted the outfits: youtu.be/JQ2DVwSVIIo

While we don’t yet know all the details of this tragedy, we do know that we can save lives through better street design. Making our streets safer, especially for the most vulnerable road users — people walking, biking, and rolling — will be a high priority for my administration. #VisionZero.

Real talk, can confirm.

Nature is healing.

The winds are picking up again and they closed Hood Canal Bridge for obvious reasons:

Hard to overstate how concerning this is. There are over 46,000 people, a school, and a hospital in the flash flood warning area. Washington communities have been bracing for levee failures as another round of atmospheric rivers arrives to full rivers and saturated soils.

Ah yes, that special state of being both overstimulated and under stimulated.

A recession indicator:

So, this weekend has been particularly bad in the news on so many fronts. Please check in with folks. I know a lot of folks who are holding on because they are keeping their heads down but .. it's being connected to each other that keeps us afloat. Let's take care of each other

A couple snaps of this new building I used to watch being built when I was closer last year. The reflection of the Space Needle is fun. #architecture #urbanism

Not a fan of cooking at home? Have you tried lip-sinking to this and not dealing with a man who can't cook? youtu.be/diYAc7gB-0A

I accidentally purchased a bulk container of crimini mushrooms when I had a lot at home, but now it just means I can eat them at the rate I'd prefer.

One of the many creatures found only in Appalachia who will have their habitat ruined by data centers. This, my Coyote-Fam, is what they call a Hellbender.

Have you seen all those logs in the slough along US 2 near Everett? Logs accumulate along the bridge. If they are not moved, they put pressure on the pillars. This happens more with heavy rain. As of Sunday, Dec. 14, our crews have completed efforts to push that debris along.

Been a fan of the associated meme that's been in rotation for a bit and the lore is even more rad.

Read these back in pumpkin season and recommend both. #booksky

It's interesting to see how women in French art are portrayed over different eras. These new works do seem reflect the yassification of how women are portrayed online as of late.

gravy boats imply the existence of gravy maritime law

Great thread. 🤓

Heartbreaking and horrifying to go to bed reading about the mass shooting at Brown University and wake up to read about the mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach. Thinking of the victims, their loved ones, and those affected by the hate that drove these attacks.

When I visit Mount Vernon, I always go to Easton's Books. Bought a few books today! It's a great time to support local businesses in towns like Mount Vernon that are being impacted by recent floods.

Christmas cruising season in Seattle. #Seattle #classicyacht #december
