There's an upcoming lunchtime zoom talk by SPS board member Joe Mizrahi on how increasing the supply of affordable housing in our city can (among other things) help save SPS from our enrollment and […]

I was going to do a thing today but then I realized my xterm font colors were ugh so I spent two hours fixing that instead.

Apparently there are ICE cameras in both the Home Depot (SODO) and Lowes (Mt Baker) parking lots in south Seattle.

These companies are not your friends.

Bought a pair of nice jeans on eBay for $30, which seemed like a good idea at the time. "Nice" (in case you are not a jeans snob) means saturated with enough indigo for a thousand normal pairs of jeans, which will bleed profusely on all your other […]

Cascade Bicycle Club's political arm WABikes decided to spend 57K of donor money on sending this pro-Harrell flyer to my doorstep 😡

This is a slap in the face to anyone who bikes for transportation or family in our city. Like, it wasn't enough to […]

I want to use this for my work meetings but I'm too cowardly.

Google wants to punish me for being hard to surveil by making me jump through multiple reCAPTCHA hoops one after another.

This wouldn't be so bad except that ordinary websites (including governmental websites like WSDOT's GoodToGo) are happily inserting […]

[Cop car smashed into opposite bike lane and pedestrian wait zone]

Apparently two cop cars smashed into each other at high speed at Beacon and Hanford, thankfully no pedestrians or cyclists were waiting to cross at this time.

Had a bunch of spring onions and fresh cilantro from the CSA, too lazy to cook a real meal. झुणका (zhunka) to the rescue!

On a day like this, Seward Park is of course full of humans, but at this sweet little spot I also saw water lilies, ducks, turtles, and dragonflies.

I don't particularly like changing clocks but it's a little pleasure to set my little $20 F-91W "terrorist watch" to the second, knowing that it will stay pretty much true till the next DST change, never flake on me, and go years before the battery runs out.

Found some (Canadian) okra at the grocery store, went well with khichudi for a hearty, vegan winter meal.

I love the downtown Seattle Y. I've been swimming there for over a decade now.

Having a fitness and community space that is truly welcoming to *everyone* is a lovely thing.

17 conservative states are trying to overturn Section 504, an important law that protects disabled kids and adults from discrimination in federally funded schools, hospitals, and more.

If you live in one of these states, you can help! :boost_requested: […]

Happy lunar new year! This season has a special significance in my household.

Per the Hindu lunar calendar, today is Vasant Panchami: the fifth day of waxing in the lunar month of Magha. This means it is dedicated to Saraswati, the patron goddess of […]

The billionaires at Seattle's Chamber of Commerce PAC are spending giant wads of $$$ to mass-mail this 💩 all over the city.

IT IS A LIE. Prop 1B is not "social housing the smart way" - it is a way to obfuscate, starve and destroy social housing before […]

Peloton cafe/bike-shop in the CD joins the other awesome local small businesses endorsing Seattle's social housing progressive tax initiative, Prop 1A.

I already know and love several of the places on this list, and this makes me love them even more! […]

If you'd like to help bring social housing to Seattle, this is the month to do it!

Kid's been sick the last couple days (worse than a normal kid sickness, getting to the point of worry).

I had been hoping for a Festivus miracle, but no luck.
