Small press + local art store = a great place to spend your money!

If you haven’t been to Push/Pull you’ve got to go! I love their bottle cap watercolors made in house and they offer so many cool classes.

Also! ICYMI! We got a big ol' Microcosm Publishing order in last week, along with a bunch of fun stuff from Free Period Press, including new coloring books! Lots of good stuff!! Go look!
Shelf full of various Microcosm titles on display, including several queer horror anthologies. Various coloring books on display, including books called Queer Animals & Plants and Mushroom Daydream.

I would love to see this! I technically have a driver’s license, but I haven’t driven in 14 years. It was logistically easier to renew than switch ID types.

The Sounder is amazing! It could be even better with more frequent service that travels in both directions.

This is the genius of the Portland protests - they make the claims of lawlessness look not just wrong, but comical

Jack Posobiec explicitly says that "Antifa" dates back to the Weimar Republic, explicitly acknowledging that this administration is opposed to those who resisted the arrival of Adolf Hitler in Power.

Not to be whiny, but I would really like for something good to happen. On a personal level. On a national level. On a global level. One of all three.

Small nonprofit budget and Wilson got us:

-$1.5B in tax the rich revenue for affordable housing, etc.
-free transit for kids and human services appointments, low fare for low income
-big min wage increases in 3 places
-renter protections around the region

Harrell had billions and did far less.

There have been multiple digs in the last week or so--interesting that coordination hmm--at @seattletru.bsky.social's annual revenue hovering around $200k/year as a reason why @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social isn't "qualified" to be Mayor.

If she pulled all this off with $200k, imagine her with $1.9b.

Seattle, we gotta elect Katie Wilson! Her leadership style is everything we need to take our city into its next chapter. We have been spinning our wheels on too many major issues for too long. This is how we move forward. www.thestranger.com/news/2025/10...

Streets are the largest public spaces in modern society.

Surrendering them for the sole use of cars allows maintaining the right of way to be used as pretext to suppress lawful assembly.

We’ve been shoved around by state cops with batons. They’ve already arrested one person for being in the street.

If you saw a headline about NYC potentially losing two big transit projects "because of the government shutdown," know this: 1) it's bullshit, and 2) ending the shutdown on the Trump administration's terms would be terrible for transit *all across the country*, and very likely in your community. 🧵
Is Sec. Duffy Holding NY Transit Hostage To Negotiate Away The Rest of America's Transportation Future? — Streetsblog USA
The federal Transportation secretary is using two large transit projects as a bargaining chip to bully Congress into passing a budget that could be disastrous for communities across the country.

Disinformation thrives without data

No jobs numbers = the economy isn't struggling!

No food insecurity data = people are fed!

No education research = defunding and threatening schools doesn't hurt kids!

No public health studies = our policies aren't making people sick!

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Terrible! I also hate the “Switch Witch” where you trade in candy for a toy.

Completely unnecessary.

But one headline here is what isn't changing, for example ST is going to keep running the 577 and 578 to Federal Way. ST is keeping the 545 to Redmond.
