we saw "In Play/Outs" on the play by play and didn't know what the result was, but suddenly heard this rising, roaring sound, like the sea rushing towards us. it was the entire Mariners stadium, cheering, we could hear it all the way from home. then the fireworks started going off and we knew.

Who do we mean when we say “Black Seattle”?

This mayoral race isn’t about personalities—it’s about whether symbolism becomes substance. What do “seats at the table” mean if the rest of us go hungry?

COLUMN | What This Mayoral Election Owes 'Black Seattle'

From City Hall to the Central District, Seattle's mayoral race raises deeper questions: Who speaks for "Black Seattle," and what does real representation look like beyond the ballot? Marcus Harrison G...

I was going to say that "Impressions" stats on social media/patreon have Unfair Flips energy, but it's kinda worse isn't it? at least Unfair Flips tells you exactly what the numbers mean and lets you hang yourself accordingly, Impressions numbers could mean ANYTHING.

I was shocked by how much exposition you could strip away from the #Predator franchise entry Prey while keeping the whole arc of the story clear--not just clear but arguably more moody and mesmerizing. My review of the fan edit Prey: The Implicit Cut: #horror #halloween

I sort of read it that way too, like a clumsy phrasing, cause otherwise it seems like a very odd thing to say

Does anyone want 2 GA Tickets to the @puptheband.bsky.social and @jeffrosenstock.bsky.social show at Showbos SoDo Seattle tonight?

My grandmother is in hospice and passing soon, so I can no longer attend my dream show and I want to make sure someone else who will enjoy it can.

how easy is it to use postybirb to create format-compliant posts on there derived from, idk, tumblr posts say? it might be worth it for more reach if I don't have to do a bunch of reformatting work but can automatically have it relay over...

like I'm not really interested in Joining A New Club, you understand. I'm trying to figure out if pillowfort has the kind of engagement that can sustain someone whose job is "posting things on Patreon", because what I need is money, not new friends, I have those in real life and they also need money

samkeeper.bsky.social @samkeeper.bsky.social · 5d

is pillowfort worthwhile? like, not "is it a nice quiet place to hang out with my mutuals", I mean is it worthwhile for someone whose job is posting stuff online for money.
