Been in Seattle, WA for 19 years.
Transit Operator for a quite a bit less than that.
I barely speak for myself, I definitely don't speak for my employer.
Hey @sound-transit.bsky.social if anyone ever accuses you of being incompetent. It’s because of shit like this.

This sign has been out at Stadium station since at least yesterday, even though it’s expired.

Reasons #17,654–17,661 that I love riding transit: I can chill/vibe and not have to focus on driving safely, I don't have to deal with asshole drivers, I can people-watch and city-watch, I can read, I can close my eyes.

🚌 ♥️

It never ceases to amaze me the number of people who live in cities and hate everything about living in a city.

It’s Labor Day tomorrow. It’s best to avoid the hospital since there will be lots of babies born there tomorrow.

Or this one: a monolingual Anglophone nurse hears a patient speaking unintelligibly, assume it's delirium, until an L2 English speaking nurse recognises the language. The dying person isn't babbling; they've reverted to a mother tongue at the end of life.

Why I do what I do: met a former palliative care nurse & was describing how devout Muslims can hold up a single finger to represent the Shahadah if they're unable to speak. She'd never heard of this.

"I wonder how many times nurses see this, think someone is agitated, and drug them."

Seattleites love their summers, but it’s a little more complicated for parents. What if we had universal summer care for all children in Seattle? This isn’t a pie in the sky idea. We can make Seattle a great place for working families.

Again:Journalists are not stenographers. We are to get information, report and verify the facts, and then report the reality not the talking point. What Trump is doing in DC and threatening in cities is NOT a crime crack down because he says it is. Don’t regurgitate. Report the truth not propaganda.

Seriously WTH SeattlePD, your officers were directing normal vehicles into the bus lane after a concert, when they’re most important to get bused through on a timely basis.

Twas flipping through photos of loved ones. Specifically George, one of the felines I served for almost two decades.

I hope I did right by him in his final days. It is so hard to get right.

My cat George died on December 25, 2021 in the afternoon. I was by his side, stroking his fur, letting him know that it was okay. It’s okay George. It is an okay time to die.

One of the things about @kingcountymetro.bsky.social that I wish hadn’t noticed, because it now bugs me. Is route 60 is almost exclusively operated with 40’ coaches. And route 40’is similarly almost exclusively operated with 60’ coaches. Make it make sense!!
