“if I can’t dance, I don’t want to be in your revolution.” Emma Goldman

Executive Director at Move Redmond, but this is my personal account
For the record I owe an ex-girlfriend a sincere apology: women’s sports ARE an important part of the feminist movement. I was just an art nerd back then and resented the appreciation sports people got over weird art kids.

Watching the first @pwhltorrent.bsky.social game and I can’t wait to find out what the goal song will be next week! I am hoping it will be Hole or Taco Cat!

This bus driver has amazing color commentary on the commute home today. Truly, it is the perfect amount of annoyance at people inappropriately using the HOV lane and not getting out of the way of an ambulance.

In my dream last night I invented a new ferry route between Whidbey Island and the San Juans. I woke up so excited. Also in my dream Orcas island had a new on-demand shuttle to help you get to Moran State park and Doe Bay without the grueling bike ride.

A girl can dream.

After much deliberation and a grueling interview process, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve accepted a new job and will not need any financial support from my parents to cover the high costs of childcare going forward. #AmericanDream #ThisIsYourCity

School buses are amazing.

School bus drivers are amazing! They put up with so much noise and manage chaos.

Car dependency is bad for car drivers, too.
Bottom line: even if you don't believe in climate change, don't care about people who can't afford cars, and will never personally take the bus, *you benefit* from your federal tax dollars going to transit. We figured this out during the flipping Reagan administration, and it is wild to deny it now.

This is completely insane and abhorrent.

People will suffer. People will die.
Women who get an abortion and anyone who helps them could face up to 30 years in prison under the bill.

It appears to ban any contraception that prevents a fertilized egg from implanting. That would ban IUDs and could strictly limit in-vitro fertilization.
Women Who Have Abortions Would Face Decades in Prison Under South Carolina Plan
Women who get abortions could spend decades in prison and IUDs would be outlawed under proposed legislation in South Carolina.

So far, the election of Mayor Wilson has been an excellent demonstration of how institutional Democrats and their wealthy donors try to discredit the real concerns of their voters. It's telling that all their attacks (not a career politician, no car) reveal a deep contempt for their base.

You guys realize that taxing people to pay for services isn't socialism, right? This is just how governments work.

My unconventional biking in the rain tip: listen to songs that celebrate the rain! Like “I’m only happy when it rains” by garbage or “Unwritten” by Natasha Bedington.
