Sorry but barring extreme circumstances (e.g. being openly queer and fearful for your life) cutting off your conservative/conspiracist family is such a terrible idea and I hate that it’s become so normal in lefty circles

Living within walking distance of a bakery should be a human right (I’m in France for 3 weeks)

Relatedly when my sister was voting the people she vaguely knew were:

Katie Wilson (“the cool awkward lady with the cute daughter”)
Sara Nelson (“the scary one from Fremont Brewing”)
Girmay Zahilay (“the guy mom is obsessed with — the other lady seems less fake”)

Zero name rec on anyone else

Sometimes I forget the extent to which my fellow 18-24 y/os truly do not care about politics

I went hiking with 2 friends recently who both thought Jay Inslee was still the governor!

Some (rough) election night result calculations by city council district; interesting that Harrell won 4/7!

Among the many conclusions that can be drawn from last night’s results, one of them is certainly that the Stranger’s power is not going away any time soon (just look at Smith v. Clark for school board!)

I’ve decided I’m gonna use Bluesky for serious-ish tweets (e.g. talking about Seattle politics, rambling about my personal life, etc.)

Not that it really matters given that I have 2 followers at the moment but nonetheless!
