if I HAD been in town today I probably would have asked outgoing Mayor Harrell why his budget for next year sets up a huge fiscal cliff for incoming ,ayor Wilson, using one-time funding for long-term needs and assuming nine-figure deficits starting in next year's budget cycle

Get in, losers, we’re going to the Cambrian Explosion.
ZOMG LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE SHALE
Okay, so the Burgess Shale is a fossil bed in British Columbia that contains a whole bunch of fossils of weirdass creatures from the Cambrian era, over 500 million years ago. But the great thing about the shale is that it has fossilized SOFT PARTS!

I don't think "I grew up poor" (i.e. working-class) means you automatically understand what it's like to be a young or not-so-young renter in a city where houses cost a million dollars and rent never stops going up and up. This is why people liked Katie Wilson—she knows what it's like to live here.

And the Cambrian was when life had no idea wtf it was doing and was just throwing shit at the sea floor to see what would stick. So you get BIZARRE body designs, like hyoliths, which is basically an ice cream cone with a mouth full of tentacles and a clamshell lid.

THIS. I didn’t realize how much having a name that didn’t quite fit mattered until I fully legally dropped it. It feels great.
normalize name changes for anyone tbh. even if you're not trans, you should be able to just choose a name you feel good about and not have it be a big deal

Breaking the functionality of quotes in search is one of the most obvious destructions of a well-liked product, IMO.
My phone has full optical character recognition of 47,000 photos. I can search individual words.
I cannot search three words in quotes.

They will try to censor porn. They will use those rules to then censor anything and everything else 1 inch at a time. You need to support porn and you need to do it vocally. The Internet (and all other media types) you save will be your own.

The Seattle mayoral race is over, but Katie Wilson has further extended her lead in the latest vote count. She leads with 2,018 votes or 0.73%, commanding 50.2% of the total vote. There’s only a small number of curable ballots left to potentially count.

Now that he's out I'm hoping the gag order on city staff responding to questions about what's happening with LWB is lifted. As someone who served on the official SDOt LWB work group, I can't get my emails responded to, questions about the status of SIDEWALK REPAIRS.
He slow-walked investment in SE Seattle or stood in the way entirely. Thank @tammymorales.bsky.social for safer streets in the South End, even in the face of Bruce. If not for him, all of our investments would have been reality, including home zones, school streets, LWB, & more hardened bike lanes.

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

A Starbucks exec was asked why the baristas aren’t paid more and her response was that Starbucks has great benefits — “they get Spotify!”
Ma’am, many are food insecure and living in their cars. Fuck Spotify.

Yes, I talk about progressive revenue on the campaign trail. But I haven’t been shouting about taxing billionaires. Rather, I talk about how we can address the City’s massive structural budget deficit, which has widened as Harrell repeatedly kicks the can down the road and adds one-time spending.

A majority of the city of Seattle are renters and a huge fraction don't drive at all or very often. Finally both those constituencies will have a major that shares their lives. Has that even happened before (since automobiles became the default) in Seattle??

the majority of city are renters - and that share will only continue to grow.
the median age in seattle is 36.
i cannot express how great it is to have a mayor who not only reflects this - but knows how precarious housing here is, that cost of living & climate issues literally affect everything

We've seen enough. Katie Wilson is the next Mayor of Seattle.
🚨🚨 Just in: Katie Wilson has expanded her lead in the Seattle mayor race. She is now leading by 1,976 votes, which means that the race is no longer in automatic recount territory.

Violent rhetoric is not only strongly embedded in our cultural expression, it is an extremely well-known phenomenon that people consistently rate violent rhetoric used against them and people they like as significantly more severe than violent rhetoric used against people they dislike.
