Symbolically watching the last #JimmyKimmel before I cancel Hulu.

@julieklausner.bsky.social I’ll miss “Difficult People” most of all.

Ballard Locks is an endlessly fascinating little ecosystem. It’s one of #Seattle’s absolute best free attractions, and a great place to take visitors or just hang out on a sunny day. Plus, now the salmon are coming through the fish ladders as they migrate to their spawning grounds. What a gem.

One Seattle protest today shut down Broadway on Capitol Hill, with a march starting/ending at Seattle Central College. #FiftyFiftyOne #HandsOff #Indivisible

Look who came to #TeslaTakedown at Seattle’s U Village. It’s Congresswoman @jayapal.house.gov! She called these peaceful protests one of the most creative & effective - they’re about economic power.

500-600 people? More than 3/15. Earlier, we lined 45th outside the mall, to tons of honks & waves.

What a shock. RIP Former Speaker Frank Chopp, a legend.

Hundreds were at #TeslaTakedown at Seattle’s U Village shopping center today despite cold, rain, wind. Earlier, we heard so, so many supportive honks from people who drove by when we were lining both sides of the street outside the mall (25th near QFC). Thank you organizers.

Ready for #TeslaTakedown today!

“Nidoto Nai Yoni” - Let it not happen again

In honor of all the Japanese American people who our government sent to prison camps, forcing them to leave behind their homes, businesses, schools, friends, & the lives they had built here over generations, on Japanese Day of Remembrance

This is incredible. Stills and Nash! Every act that comes out makes me want to donate again. And following them is Pink. Wow.

Some of the super encouraging ways @duolingoverde.bsky.social tries to motivate you.

“Are you safe from Duo?”

Am I supposed to be afraid of a cartoon owl? What’s he gonna do if I don’t practice enough, chime me to death?

I think this is the first time ever that I reported a hateful comment to a social media platform, and they actually took action and removed it, within an hour.

Of course, the platform wasn’t X.

I guess it’s possible to set standards and stick to them. At least for @linkedin.com.
