Happy 3 year anniversary of my emergency appendicitis surgery! Grateful as ever for the folks at Tacoma General (MultiCare) who saved my septic ass that night, especially the nurses, who really went above and beyond even after I came within two inches of throwing up on them. 💜

I like how BlueSky is live posting the July 4th disaster in D.C. as if it's a sporting event

Random question: ACAB includes the fashion police...right??

Wow this gray weather has sure spiralled me into a mood. #wawx #pnwwx #seattlesummer

Seattle peeps, here's something cool to pop into on the 4th!

After an appt this AM I wound up on the westbound 2 Line, heading into International District... less than 1 hr before Senegal vs Belgium match started in Seattle! And, WOW! Jam packed train, & as Lumen Field came into view, everybody got SO excited!! Really fun ride. Nice to be around so much joy!

Snoco folks, transit's a lil tricky in Lynnwood atm. A bunch of CT routes w/cancelled runs in the 5:00 hour, not sure why. + fwiw, u can't pay at orange line temp stop on 188th.They want u to pay at perm stop first...which is across the street! Be sure to check CT Rider alerts if heading out. 😎

I am both sun burned AND mosquito bitten.... Yep...it is officially summer!!! 🌞

Make Algae Great Again

Maybe this is a stupid question, & maybe I'll delete this later, but...🤔 * Friends, do you think Marsha P. Johnson could be classified as, OG "trantifa"? * Yes, the Right is using this silly made-up word as an insult...but it's gotten me thinking genuinely about queer history. #trans #antifa #pride

Beautiful day to visit Meadowbrook Pond in Northeast #Seattle! Didn't get any bird pics, but me and @dananro.bsky.social did spot 2 adult herons on the water, plus juveniles were squawking away up in the nest!

Yesss....Love being the person on the bus holding delicious-smelling food! (This post brought to you by the existence of Toast Mi at Greenlake. 😎)

I'm watching "First Contact" (Star Trek: The Next Generation movie from 1996) somehow for the first time this evening. 1st, let me say: I genuinely LOVE TNG as a show. But my God, y'all. This movie is quite possibly THE corniest thing I have ever seen in my life! 🛢 1/?

A friend took me to see the Great Blue herons at Marymoor today. Over 60 nests!! I've never seen so many herons in one place before. Incredible!!!! #redmondwa #marymoorpark #pnwbirds

Today I'm taking the 2 Line all the way across for the 1st time! And look who's out today - The mountain!! 😍 #soundtransit #linklightrail #tahoma #seattletransit #seattletoredmond

Chat, Seattle has had enough sunny days recently that my body might *finally* be coming close to a normal level of Vitamin D! Yesss. 😎🌞

Reading complaints about Bob Dylan's recent shows/current tour, & it cracks me up how folks are trying to blame it on his age. No insult to his many genuine talents or his impact on American music...But me & my dad saw him back in 2005...& he was absolutely TERRIBLE in concert way back then, too. 😂

Welp it turns out I got sunburned yesterday at Everett Pride. 🙃 Forgot to put on sunscreen until way too late. Especially my face...but also...my knees somehow?? Wtf! On the other hand... it was a beautiful day here in the PNW for an outdoor event, and I'm super glad it wasn't rainy or stormy!

If you, like me, get overwhelmed at Big downtown Seattle Pride (Panic attacks? Migraines? Social anxiety?Sensory overload? Etc)... I *really* encourage you to check out some of the smaller Pride events happening around Western WA right now if you can. Some are really fantastic & WAY more chill! 😎🌈

Hell yeah! I just won an organic banana from Sno-Isle Food Co-Op's prize wheel at Everett Pride! You know it's a great party when there's free fruit involved! 🍌🏳️‍🌈🥳🏳️‍⚧️🌞 #Everettpride

For 3 incredible minutes today at Green Lake Park, I got to watch a huge bald eagle circle above my head, riding a thermal current. Whether it's an eagle or a duckling or a pigeon at a dirty bus stop with its green and purple shining in the sun, what can I say. Birds amaze me. #seattle #pnwbirds

Today, I got to eat a cookie while nonchalantly sitting under a huge 🏳️‍🌈 flag on the wall at a coffee shop in Everett,WA. This would've been unthinkable 25, 15, heck...maybe even 5, yrs ago there. Lots of bad shit in the world right now, I know. But dang, Snohomish County, you've come a long way. 🥹💜

At the light rail station, just saw 2 white activist ladies giving out ICE whistles to some Qatari FIFA fans leaving the stadium from today's #Seattle match. They told them to be sure read the brochure about their rights. Welp! Happy Match Day, everybody, and.... welcome to the USA. #worldcup #ICE

Hot, crabby, and afraid to go anywhere on transit today because it's Match Day in Seattle... Google is warning me light rail & busses will be overflowing. Sigh.

My portable A/C unit is officially set up in my apartment! Feeling a little bit better now about the impending Seattle heat wave!

Seattle, I'm seeing flyers everywhere for a Trans march on Friday June 26th. Same day as Trans Pride. PLEASE NOTE: This March is NOT affiliated w/Trans Pride!!!!(OR endorsed by GJL or other orgs behind Trans Pride!!) PLEASE use care & caution if you're thinking of attending it. #seattletrans

The bad news: I'm randomly awake at 4 am The good news: All the jokes on here about Trump at the Knicks game are cracking me up! The bad news: I snort-laughed so loud that I might have woken up my apartment neighbor!

Window view from #Seattle Metro Route 21, westbound at sunset.

TFW you read an old poem you wrote & realize you have no idea what you were even writing about 😂

Excited to do the #Everettpride digital passport this year but kinda confused on how it works. I signed up, but like, do you always have to access it through Instagram? Or is there an app or something that I'm missing?? Ugh.... I feel like I'm like 300 years old... Newfangled technology, etc etc 🤣

Read some of my writing at an open mic tonight for the first time in like 9 or 10 years. Was so nervous I almost chickened out. But, glad I didn't!

Super skinny becoming the desired aesthetic again... at the same time food costs continue to rise & more & more people can't afford to eat...hmm....is that *really* a coincidence? This is one of the conspiracy theories I find myself haunted by lately.

The Oinker Sisters have withdrawn from performing at America 250.

Love seeing the Pride flags showing up around Lynnwood! 🥰 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ #lynnwoodwa #pridemonth #snohomishcounty

It's 9 pm and still light outside! Yesss!!!! #seattle

Woooo!!! White Center's getting ready for Pride! Fresh paint, looking good! 🏳️‍🌈 #seattle #whitecenter #rainbowcrosswalk

Love it when I get to share good news.

🏳️‍⚧️ If you're #Trans & thinking about self-harm... PLEASE reach out to someone. We -- your community --need you & want you, here, with us (and alive!). You don't need to feel bad about needing help.💜 Here's an important ph #: TRANS LIFELINE: 877-565-8860⁣⁣. 10am - 6pm PT/1pm - 9pm ET translifeline.org

Wish it had been UW that made the decision to cancel, and not TPUSA. But, better than holding the event.

Just walking around Seattle, I've witnessed 2 separate, scary road rage incidents in the past 3 days. ("Scary"= escalating to both people physically getting out of their cars to fight). And not downtown, fwiw...one was over a freaking parallel parking spot in a "nice" neighborhood! 😨

Got to see baby ducklings & also a heron today, at Meadowbrook Pond in North #Seattle.

The resource fair is open to the whole community, but the Doorway Project's focus is on youth and young adults experiencing homelessness in the UDistrict in Seattle, WA

Earlier tonight, me & my brother were walking around the Pioneer Square Art Walk & passed by Corteezyy in a Pikachu hat, walking the other direction livestreaming! Very cool to feel like we were out and about, among the Seattle celebrities and socialites, hehe.

Ew, someone on the light rail smells like cabbage!!!! ...Ugh. It's me!!! Sorry everyone else on board this train. Didn't realize I shouldve changed my shirt after my stir fry extravaganza, sheesh!

Admission is free tomorrow and the first Thursday of each month at several Seattle-area museums. The National Nordic Museum, Seattle Art Museum, and Burke Museum are all open until 8 p.m., MOHAI is free from 5 to 8 p.m., and the Museum of Flight from 5 to 9 p.m. Details below:

Finally went and checked out Mudlark Oddities in Ravenna! (Seattle). Old news perhaps since it's been around awhile now, but, if you've never been, I recommend popping by if you find yourself in the neighborhood!

Am I hearing this right, that the Seattle Children's Hospital / Laurelhurst/ helicopter agreement has been in place since.... *1992*?????

Hi #Seattle friends! You can vote for your fave poster design for this year's Fremont Solstice Parade & Festival by clicking on this link!! More info about each local artist is also provided here so you can learn more about them. Voting is open until May 1st!! #fremontartscouncil #fremontsolstice

Trans Day of Visibility. It isn't always safe to be visible, and visibility means different things to different people. But, thinking today of the trans elders who were visible long before we even got here, & brave enough to be loud. ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

Happy Eastside <---> Seattle light rail day, Western Washington!
