Oh, look. I got two new followers.

RIP Kenny Easley
A man stands in a dark alley wearing a sleeveless black leather jacket, black fingerless gloves, and ripped jeans. His wrists and forearms are wrapped with white athletic tape. He holds a football in his left hand. The alley is misty or foggy and lit from the back by lights high on a building in the distance, which is just barely recognizable as the roof of the Kingdome, the home of the Seattle Seahawks. On a tall post a street sign reads EASLEY ST. Below that is a DO NOT ENTER sign.A garbage can is spray painted with a 45. Football jerseys, helmets, and pads are strewn down the alley. At the top of the picture is blue text reading KENNY EASLEY. At the bottom of the picture in grey letters are the words THE ENFORCER.

Raven Releasing the Sun

Print by George Hunt, Jr.
In this print by George Hunt, Jr., Raven Releasing the Sun, the artist shows the crafty protagonist in the moment after he has opened the chief’s treasure box and released the first of its precious items—the sun—which the artist has depicted as a mask-like face. The rays of the sun are so formidable as to reveal themselves as bold, red tapering lines embedded with formline ovoids, U-shapes, and three-pointed “trigons”—the building block of Northwest Coast design.

Ok, fill out your Mineral Cup brackets soon!

Here’s mine. I fear a blue blood like Copper will walk away with it in a popularity contest, but I’m backing scrappy underdog Molybdenite the whole way!

NO KINGS, West Seattle.

#NoKings #NoKingsSeattle #Resist
#EasyStreetRecords #WalkAllWays
A crowd fills a sidewalk in front of a brick building on a street lined with trees. High on a light post a pedestrian crosswalk sign reads “ALL WAY WALK”. Beneath that is a green street sign saying “SW ALASKA St”. Below that a man holds a sign that says “I LOBE THE USA”. Next to that a sign says “WE THE PEOPLE DO NOT CONSENT” with the letters written in rainbow colors. Next to that hangs an American flag. And next to that, in the distance are several other people holding signs, a person in an inflatable unicorn costume, and a woman holding a Pride rainbow flag. Next to them, the street is filled with cars all the way down the block which, I can assure you, were honking their support. On the opposite tree-lined street, more people holding signs crowd the sidewalk into the distance. A crowd of people fills the sidewalks in front of a brick building on a street corner waving many American flags large and small and holding signs, several saying “NO KINGS”, and others saying “LAND OF THE FREE”, “RESIST” (with a green frog), and “NOPE” (with a black cat). A crowd of people stands next to a street lined with trees and old brick buildings holding signs reading “DEMOCRACY NEEDS YOUR COURAGE” (with the letters for OUR RAGE written in red), “NO KINGS”, and “NO FAUX KING WAY”. In front of a two-story brick building with signs reading EASY STREET and SEIZE THE MOMENT, hundreds of people fill the streets and intersection waving American flags and holding signs that read “LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL”, “RESIST”, “I LOVE AMERICA”, “PROUDLY ANTI-FASCIST”, “POWER TO THE PEOPLE”, “LAND OF THE FREE”, “FASCISTS GET SCRATCHES! FUCK TRUMP! NO KINGS!”, and “TOGETHER WE RISE”.

Hundreds of people fill the streets in front of a two-story brick building with a red neon bordered sign reading EASY STREET. Below that sign is a marquee sign reading SEIZE THE MOMENT. People wear festive hats and costumes including an orange witch’s hat and a red chili pepper costume, wave American flags and an angry baby Trump in a diaper balloon, and carry signs reading “NO KINGS”, “WE ALREADY WON THIS WAR”, “NO KINGS, YASS QUEEN!” a swastika with a red slash through it, and “FLUSH THE TURD REICH”. US demonstrators celebrating their civil rights on NO KINGS DAY, October 18, 2025, in front of Easy Street Records, Alaska Junction, intersection of California Ave SW and SW Alaska Street, West Seattle, Washington state, USA. A crowd of people wave American flags and hold signs reading “THE SCARIEST THING THIS HALLOWEEN IS A FASCIST RUNNING THE COUNTRY”, “UNPAID PROTESTER”, “DEFEND DEMOCRACY “, and “NO KINGS, NO CROWNS, NO FASCIST FUCKING CLOWNS”. People wave three American flags and hold up two signs reading “ALL MY OUTRAGE WON’T FIT ON ONE SIGN” and “FLUSH THE TURD REICH”. Crowds of people waving USA flags and holding signs crowd two corners of an intersection in the background. A person in an inflatable shark costume in a crowd of people with signs and balloons. One sign reads “IMAGINE BEING AFRAID OF DIVERSITY“ with DIVERSITY written in rainbow colors. Above, a street sign says SW ALASKA ST”. In the background a brick building has a sign reading “EASY STREET”. Alaska Junction, West Seattle, Washington state, USA. NO KINGS day, October 18, 2025.

Young further addressed ICE agents' practice of wearing masks: ‘ICE goes masked for a single reason -- to terrorize Americans into quiescence. Small wonder ICE often seems to need our respected military to guard them as they go about implementing our immigration laws. It should be noted that our troops do not ordinarily wear masks. Can you imagine a masked marine? It is a matter of honor -- and honor still matters. To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police. Carrying on in this fashion, ICE brings indelible obloquy to this administration and everyone who works in it. “We can not escape history,” Lincoln righty said. “[It] will light us down in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation.” Abraham Lincoln, Second Annual Message to Congress (Dec. 1, 1862).’

Speaking of products to beware of, automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is one of the slipperiest substances you’re likely to encounter in your daily life that’s easily purchased from public places like auto parts stores. Use it with great care and discretion.
