Sometimes I’m still chasing the high of Infinite Summer, when thousands of people read all 1,088 pages of Infinite Jest together, including Colin Meloy from The Decemberists. What a time.

#BB27 Kelley to Vince: legitimately - thank you for putting me up. I'm having the time of my life. My only worry is people see me as a threat. Vince assures her they don't. Kelley wonders why not - maybe because she hasn't competed yet.

House Republicans passed the single largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in the HISTORY of our country.
The GOP tax bill would deliver the largest cut to Medicaid and SNAP EVER.
Repost and help me put a burning, bright spotlight on this awful disaster of a bill.

You’re not an ally if you only act when it’s convenient. CBS walking back their 50% diversity initiative for their first returnee season since it’s been implemented is the worst thing about this cast #Survivor
The official cast of Survivor 50 as announced on CBS Mornings.
The season begins filming soon in Fiji and premieres Spring 2026 on CBS.

Coincidence that I haven’t been able to access their Pay ‘N Go site all day to process my prescription, and my local Bartell pharmacy opened late this morning? (I assume it’s open now, but I couldn’t wait longer and left.)
What isn't clear is whether the Bartell name that has been such a presence in the Seattle area will survive, with several experts warning that the ubiquitous brand could disappear.

Maybe I watched too much Mandalorian recently, but I could only think of Stormtroopers marching when I drove next to three white Teslas—all in a row—on the highway this week.

I only saw one Oscar-nominated movie this season, and watched it the day before the awards ceremony: Anora. I guess we picked correctly?!

Surprised to find just over 1.5 inches of new snow in West Seattle this morning! (Though this measurement came a little late, after it had already started to melt.) #wawx

This storm had supercell structure and apparent twin waterspouts, here with Mark Stewart and Matthew Pfab editing the photos. I'm still not believing what I saw. Very dark at the time, but did anyone else see this near Seahurst park, South of West Seattle?

Just like in 2019, it’s the end of January and Seattle hasn’t seen a single flake of snow all winter.
Just like in 2019, that’s about to change with the arrival of February.
Wintry fun is in store for the next several days. Buckle up—it’s gonna be an interesting ride! ❄️🤞❄️

No one prepared me for how hard it is to handle a dog who has dementia. Every week, she has one or two absolutely batshit, restless nights. Good luck, future me, getting to work before 8am tomorrow!

3. Funny Story
But I’m currently reading Martyr!, and hope to check another off this list by the end of the year. 💙📚
