Yesterday's rainbow in Seattle was awesome. Here's the best pic I was able to get of it... from on board the bus!

I am confident I am seeing the same news you’re seeing, so me sharing it so it can show up for the dozenth time onto your TL isn’t gonna help either of us. What WILL help you is to unclench your jaw and drink some water.

Little bit of good news: My new job is currently offering free flu shots to any employees who aren't covered by health insurance! Wooo!!! (Like me! Haven't worked there for a full 90 days yet, which is what's required before I qualify for insurance). Yay! Fuck you, flu!

War-ravaged Portland

American. League. West. Champions!!!!! Fuck yeah!!! 🥳🥳🥳 #mariners #MLB #seattlebaseball

somehow in my mind I have linked the success of the Seattle Mariners to turning the tide against fascism and while I know it has no empirical basis it feels right

Hey fellow #PokemonGo players in Seattle, ICYMI: Toast Mi Greenlake is now offering 15% off during Community Events if you check in on Campfire. I love Toast Mi... I've even had dreams about their green sauce! 😂🤤And, ofc, Green Lake is a rad place for pokémon, so...cool news in my world, hehe.

New placards are coming to Seattle and King County food businesses. But they're not about food safety. They’re about labor violations: not paying workers; not allowing breaks; etc www.kuow.org/stories/new-...

Y'all, I am at the #Luminata parade at #Greenlake and it is SO awesome!!!! ✨️💜😍 (Before anybody comments...Yep, I know,the world's terrible & on fire.I know. But ya gotta let people have a little joy.And this thing is free, community-organized & celebrates light in the darkness! Hell yeah!) #seattle

Good afternoon. It is Sept. 14, and the Seattle Mariners are in sole possesion of first-place in the American League West.

The Mariners are asking for feedback on the asshole street preachers outside the stadium. In case you have anything to say, here’s the link: www.mlb.com/mariners/bal...

Reminder: It is OK to step away from your phone, to step away from social media. The headlines and comments and theories and panic-attack-inducing predictions will still be here when you get back. 🩵

Do your mental health a favor and turn this on for today. You really don't want to watch this. It is awful.

A lot of people have been calling me the @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social of Seattle. But where Zohran is charismatic, telegenic and stylish, I've spent my whole adult life looking pretty dumpy. To look more mayoral, I enlisted my friend Andrew Ashiofu, who took me to one of Seattle's premier boutiques.

Heading home from a free #creativewriting event (writing circle??) at #Seattle Public Library - @spl.org - called "Write At the Fremont Branch," hosted by novelist & writing teacher Alma García!!! I didn't write anything absolutely brilliant, but.. lovely to be in company w/other creative folks! 🧡

Another September, another deluge of social media posts from PNWers convinced they have fiddle, wolf, or recluse spider infestations. Comrades. It's just giant house spider mating season. You don't have an infestation. They've been there the whole time. Now they are risking death for girlfriends

It's weird living in a city as big as Seattle is... & knowing almost no one within a one-hour drive. 🙃 Now that I've been up here a couple months...it's probably about time to try & put aside some of my social anxiety.Time to try & meet some new friends, vague acquaintances, arch enemies...etc, etc!

Well dang, wasn't able to make it over to Green Lake tonight to an educational talk about wild bats 🦇 (which included maybe even getting to see some fly!) 😢 Luckily, #northwestbats is sponsoring more upcoming talks & bat-watching events. So at least it wasn't my only chance. Whew! #seattle #bats

With my new part-time job, my house is, once again, a proud #Union home. 💙 In these times, organized labor is, potentially, a very powerful force at our disposal. Hello again, #ufcw .

Have you ever written to one of your elected representatives.... and...they actually wrote you back??? Cause dang, this just happened to me! And I gotta say, it's pretty exhilarating!! ***** (Full disclosure: This interaction was w/a member of Seattle City Council, not like, POTUS or something 🤣 )

The plan to build a tiny-home village for the homeless in Spanaway can move forward following the Pierce County Council’s vote to amend zoning codes. Previously, county code prohibited temporary housing shelters from being built and operated in unincorporated Pierce County for more than 90 days.

“Seven suspected tuberculosis (TB) cases at the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma have sparked urgent questions about health conditions and medical care at the federal immigration detention facility.” #AbolishICE #ChingaLaMigra #ShutdownNWDC #FreeThemALL www.king5.com/article/news...

I've been shouted at & called the "F" slur twice so far, since moving to Seattle 3 months ago. Which, ok, whatever... But, what gets me is, this never happened to me, not once, in the ~5 years I lived in Tacoma. And I look the exact same. So say what you will about Tacoma, but on this front? Hm.🤷

Sharing here to help spread the word! 🏳️‍⚧️ Seattle trans clothes exchange happening TODAY (8/2) and tomorrow (8/3). Free!!!! #seattletrans #queerseattle
