Activists pounding pavement today in Olympia handing these out: whistles to alert unauthorized immigrants of ICE patrols in the area.

Sign of the times.

Now THIS is why @blackcrowbooks.bsky.social prints the best editions ever.

My other books will look underdressed.

Nothing like reading a novel that comes to life before your eyes. The Babysitter Lives is etched into my eyelids forever.

Have you noticed the people in your election mailers have a weird tint to their eyes? No pores in their skin?

Welcome to the AI mailer industrial complex. Take this one on Olympia’s bill of worker’s rights.

Mark Twain catching some vitamin D as he catches up on the adventures of Huckleberry Finn in Tumwater. He’s delighted how far baseball’s come this century.

No comment from Mr. Twain on how he’s liking the book so far.

Lovely mural in Third Place Commons honoring Octavia Butler, Lake Forest Park’s most famous resident, probably.

Designed by Stephen Crowe and painted by Katie Todaro, 2025. Butler was a frequent customer here, I hear.

Cascade PBS circling the fundraising wagons again weeks after gutting its entire local newsroom.

Ken Burns and NOVA documentaries are apparently vital programs you and your neighbors depend on even more.

“Movies, video games, streaming shows…everything is so expensive. I can’t afford any of it,” you say.

May I introduce you to a low-tech option? I’m talking about books.

1. No WiFi needed
2. No subscription
3. No passwords
4. Your local library may have some
5. Good ones are rereadable
