Everyone needs to strike. The longshoremen, the postal carriers, retail workers. Strike. It would take 1 week max if enough people just got terribly ill with an incredibly contagious sickness and called off.

Celebrated with the loving efforts of two friends who each furnished their handpainted rendition of her.

#Tea #Dogs

Birthday tea tableau for a white and black dog who is depicted in a watercolor painting and on a tall, painted glass cylinder holding an orange candle. The cup and saucer are patterned in white and black hearts, resting upon a black and white checkerboard handkerchief. This is on a tea towel with the text Dog Hair Is My Glitter. There is a porcelain heart painted with bright pansies, and a tea cozy patterned in multicolored paw prints. The tea is a black tea blend from McQueen's.

It almost seems deliberate at this point! (I don't really mean that).

I blame rollbacks in oversight, the shortage of experienced drivers, and the intense pressure on drivers to move loads regardless of conditions or personal fitness.

UPDATE: I-90 remains closed WB at Exit 80 near Cle Elum after an oversized load struck the overpass. Travelers are being detoured at Exit 80 via the off- and on-ramp. Crews will be out today to assess the damage. The Washington State Patrol is investigating. No estimate for a reopening.

"Together"
#Teableau 22_Oct25

Mute Swans by British artist Robert Gillmor.
Mute Swans are England's largest bird and only swan. We have them in Puget Sound, as well, but they're an invasive species here, crowding the native Tundra Swans nearly to extinction. Lethal beauty.

#Tea #MuteSwans

Tea tableau backed by a print of Robert Gillmor's painting of a pair of Mute Swans floating on a pond. There is also a tall clear Murano glass swan sculpture, a small Mosser cobalt glass swan salt cellar, an Art Deco clear glass cream and sugar from the 1920s, a Lenox Butterfly Meadow pedestal cup, a navy blue chintz tea cozy, and Elderberry herbal tea.

I went to med school to learn to heal. And that’s when I realized it was our society that was making people sick. So I decided to use my medical training to heal those pathologies—and it’s why I’m running for U.S. Senate now.

I want every eligible student in Washington state to take advantage of this money. It's not just for those who are college bound — it can be used for apprenticeships and job training.

All eligible students should fill out the FAFSA.

How Ferguson plans to get more WA students to apply for FAFSA

Gov. Bob Ferguson issued an executive order aimed at boosting the number of high school seniors in Washington who fill out the form, citing state economic need.
