The feral urge to run for mayor of Seattle but not campaign or seek any endorsements.
Considering a run for Congress against an entrenched 80yo incumbent who is running *again.* A moderate in a deep blue seat.

I like pain.

Mayoral candidate @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social in response to news that indicted Mayor Eric Adams met with Trump at Mar-A-Lago in an unannounced trip on Thursday:

“No one for a moment believes that Eric Adams snuck off to Mar-a-Largo to advocate for the needs of any New Yorkers other than his own.”

The most aggravating thing to me about Democrats at this moment is that they spent the whole campaign talking about Donald Trump as an existential threat to democracy but then after the election decided that apparently everything is fine. It really did validate the GOP saying it was just for votes.

And yet Democrats don’t understand why they can’t beat them.
Your country is a total basket case.
Guns, Trump, no decent healthcare, women’s freedoms - you haven’t moved on from the Wild West…

I wrote a blog post every day about what it was like to leave an office job + go to beauty school at 34yo. My mom had terminal cancer + I didn’t want to go back to a desk after I lost her.

That blog became the first draft of a memoir called Hair AmErica. Second draft starts now.

Don’t forget to call your members of Congress when they do awesome things, too.

Their staff welcome positive feedback, too. I promise.

This is such a good idea. If anyone in Seattle wants to get together to do something like this, please let me know.

I wrap pretty well because my mom worked at a jeweler out of college and taught me fancy ways to wrap things.
Every year I book a group room at my local library and donate my time to help my elderly friends wrap their gifts for their friends and family.
I get paid in coffees and church lady purse candies. I wouldn’t have it any other way!
I don’t have much, but I do have some time to offer.

This is such a great idea! Same for the woman who rents a minivan every election cycle to drive elderly folks to the polls.

Share these ideas always!

She went from Bernie campaign staff to *embracing* genocide supporters Kim Schrier, Suzan DelBene, Maria Cantwell, et al. This is a super blue state. Instead of ensuring *good* Dems are elected, she protects the status quo.

She’s a “new generation” who will do nothing diff than Boomers. Hard pass.

Lots of sympathy being extended to Brian Thompson’s family because he was a husband and father which reminds single people if you’re killed, oh well. Cats move on.

My fly was down in a congressional elevator with Joe Kennedy and some other elected once.
I just figured out my fly was down since the last time I went to pee, which was approximately 73 hours ago before a business meeting, a tour with a new client, talking to seven coworkers in the office kitchen, a trip to Target and book club
