It’s National Coming Out Day for all the letters of the rainbow. It’s a huge risk for anyone, but if you can, we need you more than ever. And there’s an army of us here to back you up, you beauty.

I was at this debate. The Seattle Times is totally misrepresenting what happened to further the false narrative that Katie Wilson is a nitwit. Wilson was talking about the fact that the CARE team has not been allowed to exercise "its full latitude of responsibility" under the existing contract.

At a recent Seattle University/KOMO TV debate, Harrell’s opponent, activist Katie Wilson, didn’t appear to recognize that she has no authority under labor contracts to order police to do anything without going through a bargaining process.

“As mayor, I will absolutely be working with SPD to make sure that they’re allowing the CARE team their full latitude of response and also to make sure that the CARE team can respond without police when appropriate,” she said.

It’s not that easy.

Year of the Mer is firmly adult and I will screech obscenities directly into your face if you place it somewhere else, mentally or otherwise

I kinda want to play "Is this YA" but I already know that 95% of the books people will ask about will not be YA.

@girlyfriday.bsky.social where should I go to watch the game tomorrow? Some place where people are actually invested in what is going on?

I thought the new Interview with a Vampire was really good, but it got to the point where I couldn’t stomach it :(. Mostly I do the emotional equivalent of plugging my ears and going “blah blah blah” when there’s vampire stuff. Oh except What We Do In the Shadows. LOOOVED that.

Jill S @outseide.bsky.social · 3h

Oh I thought the Mariners were the only MLB team that have never made it to the World Series. How cool would that be?! GOOOOO BREWERS!
