DONT BY THE BUX!!!

MORE ART. MORE PUBLIC ART.

SEATTLE!!! We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

His arsenal is the kitchen shelf, the trash pile, his own usual kit of tools and supplies.

Every Veteran’s Day I think about Leonard Matlovich’s headstone.

This race could very easily be decided by challenged ballots. Use this link to track your ballot, and remind your friends and family to do the same: info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/...

ACTION ITEM: GO do this, takes 30 seconds, civic duty

This makes me so angry I almost broke my phone screen too.

Caving for nothing means that Democrats are the ones responsible for the shutdown because they could have taken this shit deal weeks ago.

Mamdani is going to implement Shire Law. Second breakfast, elevensies, and afternoon tea will all be mandatory. And God help you if you aren't smoking that dank ass Old Toby.

every sunday, from pulpits in megachurches across america, white evangelicals cry out about some imaginary persecution of christianity. but i can’t stop thinking about the pile of rosaries collected by a janitor at a border crossing or the priest turned away at the gates of the detention camp.

Where destruction is involved, the weapons of the citizen-saboteur are salt, nails, candles, pebbles, thread, or any other materials he might normally be expected to possess as a householder or as a worker in his particular occupation.

The constant deluge of stories like this, after three scandal ridden mayors, is probably why we didn’t have a deluge of candidates chomping at the bit for the Seattle mayoral job. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

There's lot of challenged ballots in Seattle. Challenged ballots disproportionately skew younger with over half from people under age 45.

What do I tell my cat to get her to believe in daylight savings time? She doesn’t buy it that it’s not breakfast time yet.

Criminy…

Happy Election Day! Remember to vote! If you’re not registered, you can still vote in person at Lumen Field or at UW. If you’re registered and don’t have a ballot, you can print one online, free at the library (or ngl just write your vote and deets down and put in the ballot box)

Hey y'all. If you are voting in Washington, just a reminder that if you haven't dropped your ballot yet, please use a drop box if you can! Because of cutbacks and changes in USPS service, there are concerns about ballots getting the appropriate postmark. Find your closest dropbox!

@antheabutler.bsky.social wrote a whole book about this. I’m so glad I read “White Evangelical Racism” a few years ago, it is excellent and so informative. I feel like I understand the this moment we’re living in much better for reading it.

As someone who spent years of my life dedicated to the Seattle Arts and Culture scene, it was especially gross to hear Bruce Harrell credit our vibrant cultural community to… AI

It was surprisingly quick to whip up these “How to Report Ice” zines to go out next to the candy on the porch. Thanks to @cop-watcher.bsky.social for the stickers!

Seattle, remember to vote! We’ve got a chance to get rid of Harrell and, more important, elect someone actually good!

Rising Sun Produce in North Seattle is giving away produce up to $25 for those who might need help. The city of Seattle is also doing things to help with SNAP.

Reminder to turn your ballot in! Also, I need that sticker.

taps the sign

🧵Thread of cafes, restaurants, bars, bagel joints, etc offering free meals to SNAP recipients, for those who might need it, & so those who don't can give 'em their business. If you know of such offers in your area & don't see them here, please tell us in @'s. Here's one! toastedseattle.com

Keep the fucking robots out of Seattle folks

Booooo! (In both the Halloween way and the bummer way)

OMFG THIS IS AN AMAZING IDEA

I see a lot of folks urging people to donate to food banks, and of course, do that if you can. but also, consider stocking a little free pantry near you (or opening one, if there isn't one near you?), and also having resources like this map on hand for those in need...

Worth noting: Alex Fryer isn't just some neutral columnist. He's literally working in Harrell's administration while also being involved with the PAC spending big money to re-elect him. This isn't analysis, it's campaign messaging with a Times byline.

Like I said... www.seattletimes.com/education-la...

In one week, food aid is going to run out if the federal government is still shutdown. 1 in 10 Americans will not get paid they rely on in November, like SNAP. Please give to local food banks now, if you are able. Look into local groups that are providing meals and things like diapers. This is bad.

Nothing like the WH spokeswoman promoting a Portland “homeless advocate” who earlier this year pled guilty to first degree theft, aggravated identity theft, and first degree official misconduct. He was busted for stealing from the city of Gresham when he was employed to help assist homeless people.
