Horizonal split screen of a scene from the Disney animated film, Robin Hood, depicting a bear and a fox in feminine garb in the top panel, and a crowned lion and a subservient snake in the bottom panel. The text overlay reads: Some of us were raised by Drag performers fighting false kings and it shows.

Underappreciated feature in #Firefox:

Reader View

Tap that button and all the webpage BS videos, graphics, ads etc. disappear.

From an #accessibility standpoint, this reduces the distractions and forced page loads to nearly non-existent.

At T-Mobile Park last night, we saw:
Tom Odell, The Head and the Heart, and The Lumineers.

Fantastic concert with phenomenal bands, two of which are local to the #PNW #Seattle region.

People are underestimating the gravity of the situation. Both of my kids and myself, we're going to show up on this registry.

How many more alarm bells have to go off?

I adventured to two #HandsOff protests in my region, #Seattle and my local burb. Fantastic turn out at both.

You know what, this is how all subscription services should work:

1. Free trial offer that **automatically ends when time is up**
2. Tap the 'Start Free Trial' button
3. Trial begins

Thank you @thestorygraph.com for setting the standard.
A screenshot of the free trial screen. Text reads: (button) start free trial 30-day free trial. The free trial will automatically cancel at the end of the period. You must sign up manually if you want to continue using plus. No payment details are required for the trial, so you don't have to worry about being charged! Screenshot of a prompt after subscribing. Text reads: you've successfully activated your 30-day free trial of the Plus plan. Enjoy! :-)

Successful #StandUpForScience rally in #Seattle today. I hate that we have to do this but I'm so, so proud of all the supporters. Even Governor Ferguson showed up.
Seattle Space Needle in the background; "Science is for Everyone" sign in the foreground. Sign over the heads of protest attendees that reads, "Farmers Against Trump". Sign held above protest attendees that reads, "If you don't believe in climate change, move to Florida and wait".

Came home to my bookshop.org order having arrived today. Dover has a beautiful hardbound version of one of my favorite childhood reads:

A hardback book with a two-tone blue howling wolf relief in a forest on an off-white cover. Text reads: The Call of the Wild and White Fang, Jack London

Not everyone is able to participate at in-person protests, even though visibility is key. But we have options!

#economicProtest is equally effective as we're an unabashed capitalist society.

Post screenshots of your cancellations (but redact identifying info 1st).

Just a heads up that the headline in your image contains a deeply controversial term considering our current political climate. It's not in the body of the article so I'm assuming simple editorial oversight.

Screenshot attached. Cheers!
