Can any of my Japanese friends help Allie get their bags back?

Allie Alvis 🌷 @book-historia.bsky.social · 5h

Well, something pretty bad has happened at the tail end of our Japan trip: instead of our bag being forwarded from Kyoto to Ikebukuro, it wound up on a container ship bound for Oshima Island

A map of Japan with Oshima Island circled

"No small amount of privilege"

Doesn't this dingdong own a multimillion dollar condo in Bellevue?

Wondering why I, a person who lives and works in Seattle, should give a shit that my potential mayor went to a university in England over a decade ago.

Bruce Harrell's campaign has decided to start calling Katie Wilson a quitter because she dropped out of Oxford six weeks before graduating.

I was the first person in my family to graduate from college. My parents, hard-working city employees, overcame racial bias and financial hardship to create a better life for my brother and me, just as Joanne and I have done for our children.

For my family, like most Americans, a college education isn’t just a piece of paper; it’s a gateway to financial stability, opportunity, and family pride.

So I was shocked — but hardly surprised — to read in The Seattle Times that my opponent dropped out of Oxford just weeks before graduation because she was turned off by “careerism.”

As the Times notes, her story reflects “no small amount of privilege.”

In Seattle, we celebrate educational advancement and career opportunities.

This program is rooted in an initiative I started while on our City Council for South Seattle youth from disadvantaged communities–the kind of kids whose families work hard to send their children to local college, let alone Oxford–and these kids don’t quit to make a political statement because they value the opportunity.

When things get tough in our city, or when forced to compromise, will Katie quit and walk away?

At a time when Trump is threatening violence in our cities, and our economy is fragile, we need a Mayor who understands and prioritizes the challenges facing our families, and who will fight for our future.

I’ve never taken access to education or opportunity for granted, and I’ll never quit on Seattle.

I think it's "frowned upon" in women's fashion because you're meant to choose one neutral and build upon it, but for men not so much!

Also yes I know I owe you an email, grad school is hell patrick ;__;

Incumbent Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell, a career politician and beneficiary of $1.3 million in business PAC funding SO FAR, is trying to portray himself as the victim of his underdog opponent, Katie Wilson, and her progressive supporters.

Outside groups are spending to try to take down Bruce's re-election campaign.

Just this week, a political action committee backing Bruce’s opponent dropped another $75,000 into the race, bringing their total to nearly $200,000. And more money is waiting in the wings.

Let’s be clear: this money will almost certainly be used to attack Bruce, twisting his record and misleading voters about the real progress Seattle has made under his leadership.

Bruce has worked tirelessly to make Seattle more safe, more affordable, and more compassionate. He focuses on results, not grandstanding. But his opponents are gearing up to flood the airwaves and social media with negativity.

Look at Bad Bunny helping these gringos learn Spanish. He can do it all.

A tweet from Benny Johnson with a video still of Bad Bunny wearing sunglasses and a button-down shirt while speaking on stage during Saturday Night Live. The tweet text reads: “‘Bad Bunny’ speaks in Spanish on SNL and tells Americans to learn the language so they can understand what he just said and at the Super Bowl. He said: ‘Especially all of the Latinos and Latinas in the world here in the United States who have worked to open doors… It’s more than a win for myself, it’s a win for all of us. Our footprints and our contribution in this country, no one will ever be able to take that away or erase it.’ Bad Bunny has refused to tour in the United States due to fear that ICE might show up at his concerts. DHS has confirmed to me that ICE intends to have a presence at the Super Bowl where he will be performing at the Halftime show.” The video timestamp shows 0:52 seconds.

I hope we're not doing that thing where we're making the children of immigrants feel guilt for not knowing their native languages because that's some twitter dot com behavior!!

Go back to making fun of monolingual white people!!

K-Pop Demon Hunters is legitimately the global cultural phenomenon of 2025 and honestly there are far worse things to be a cultural touchstone this year than a trio of young women fighting literal soul-sucking hegemony through the power of their art
