#Seattle @conductress.bsky.social etc Women's March

Generally from Cal Anderson to Seattle Center. I can't do that walk anymore but I can show up for the opening rally and transit to the end

Yeah. I am feeling that.

The coat might fit you, though the pockets are shot. Thanks for being a guardian of it.

I'm tired after work and not always the best at this stuff anyway - I didn't see a link on the site discussing streaming. Do you know if they usually stream it?

I should quit. Like very much I should quit but the job market, ya know? And husband is about to start a new position.

My hips hurt and my back hurts and my knees hurt from this damn chair. I need new shirts from it.

But some corporate someone says no.
February 10, 2026 at 11:44 PM
Now the boss - who has a history of not following through ever - has to figure how to get this chair approved or (more likely) I'm not getting a chair.

I am so tired. I am not spending $200 of my now lower wages on one. This is on them.
February 10, 2026 at 11:44 PM
Sure, he says I can have a chair that doesn't cut my clothes and give me sciatica. Cool!

Today his secretary - not even him - tells me it wasn't approved through our purchasing department because it's not on a select list of approved office supplies. No chairs are.
February 10, 2026 at 11:44 PM
None of the rest of the business has this issue, so there aren't just extra chairs. Well, aside from these decorative wooden chairs with CNC sharp metal backs that cut into clothing.

I told my boss I needed a new (appropriate) chair, sent him a link to one for less than $200.
February 10, 2026 at 11:44 PM
I think it's time for a good cry.

I am very aware that my job is doing a lot of cost cutting. Like my pay got cut levels of aware.

My desk chair broke last week. We have this goofy high counter desk so we have to get drafting chairs.

Yeah, won't catch me near downtown or any transit parking tomorrow. Nooooo thank you.

I don't think anyone who works or has worked retail in the past 5 years is even a little shocked. I'm not.

The pics of him and Ricky Martin hanging out have really been good for my brain. It doesn't look like "don't touch me they might think I'm gay" culture, and I love that.

Mostly it just seems like a lot of doc trips and scheduling and etc.

The US is, more and more these days, two different things. The govt country and the people's country.

Oh my gosh the stars yall. Look at this. Let the good brain chemicals out for a bit.
Here we go! The rings this week are showstoppers! Let's start with zircons!

This is the thing I'm not looking forward to about officially turning 40. Squish this, scope that. Ugh.

I have a friend who works hands on with voting and I have zero doubt she would die to protect that right.

Poll workers and authorities are more than just a retired flock of people with nothing else to do. They generally believe in this to their bones.

Don't downplay that.
Correct. Also: which precincts in which municipalities of which states? What military units are you sending to each location? How many soldiers? What do they do when local law enforcement says "LOL fuck off" or the doors get locked to the vote counting rooms?

Ordering the military to seize ballots kind of seems like the sort of thing where seizing the ballots would not be the biggest issue.

Seeing everyone's responses to this has made my night, especially the "What's grandad made of" one.
always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay
February 10, 2026 at 5:05 AM
This is the first time I've seen someone say that. As the no contact kid, thank you. I have some guilt to reckon with.
