Thread of de-escalation, non-violence, and related training in the Seattle area. I’ll be adding as I learn of additional resources. I might occasionally also share my experiences using the non-violent intervention training I got when I was ~18ish.

This post brought to you by finishing the pint of lavender ice cream I bought last night just now.

K.H.I. @sheridesabike.bsky.social · 4h

Maybe even lavender flavored oat milk. I will allow it.

At a transportation research conference that is still probably about 90% dudes. We miss so much in planning and engineering our communities when everyone in the room has similar experiences of how people interact with you in public space.

OK, the “of Venezuela“ took me longer to process than it should have. (Was very confused at first because of course Chalabi is dead.)

Aunts in increasing that I actually get out of bed and go get that ice cream lmao

K.H.I. @sheridesabike.bsky.social · 1d

Why not both? Because I am already tucked into bed and I am too tired to go to the co-op which is literally less than a three minute walk away.

K.H.I. @sheridesabike.bsky.social · 1d

I’m not sure I see this happening even if all the good people get elected to city Council in this go round. Although I guess if all the other shitty council members get kicked out next year it could happen.

It really does seem weird that such a disproportionate number of shootings in the precinct occur literally within three blocks of headquarters.

Part of me wants to go get a pint of ice cream from the co-op and scarf it down and the other part of me wants to sleep for the next week.

Oh is sheltering people why he owns a condo in Bellevue? In addition to his home on the lake? Because he shelters people there? And yeah, I do think those questions are fair game when you make assertions like this in the face of incontrovertible proof otherwise.

"My wife and I have been working on housing, health and human services issues for over 30 years. We donate our personal money, our personal time, our personal resources and our skills to shelter people and we'll continue to do that work despite the challenges," Harrell concludes.

Duvet is a poetic form modeled on the sistena but with fewer words repeating at the end of each line.

I hate to contradict, but that’s flambé.

Duvet is a lawn sport where you use a mallet to hit a ball through wire hoops.

No boo. That’s Timothèe Chalamet.

Duvet is when you put liquor in a hot pan and flames burst out.

The moderator repeats the part of the question about immigration status and gender, apparently because Harrell didn't answer it. "every policy that I've authored or proposed in the last 16 years have been supportive of that."

K.H.I. @sheridesabike.bsky.social · 1d

I expect it falls under the elections ethics council or whatever Wayne Barrett runs at the city.

And his having had CO v id probably masked what’s really going on :-/
We assumed long Covid And that is almost certainly incorrect.
