I suggested that John maybe shouldn’t use newspaper to drain his bacon grease and now I’m even more confused than when we started

The Seattle Times is great for all your packing and glass-cleaning needs

But if you’re using a newspaper to drain bacon, I fear you’re doing it wrong

Washington state just joined a lawsuit to protect its electric vehicle mandate against Trump’s latest attack.

This is also a @kayah.bsky.social appreciation thread.

She is now a certified master gardener in two (2) states and it's been such a joy to watch her learn and grow and become her most authentic, badass self.

K-dot is also an incredible partner for literally any jet-setting adventure.

I would also like to take this moment to acknowledge this hog, who I named Wilbur.

A few local dudes in Hawi captured Wilbur, tied him up and brought him to an undisclosed location to be released. I hope he's doing well and roaming free.
