I left both of them - that seemed the morally right thing to do -- but most people didn't / haven't, and I guess I'm just musing about its kinda weird and lonely? Sheesh.

Last night, I read Marcie R. Rendon's 2024 novel, "Where They Last Saw Her." The entire novel... in one night.
With my focus/concentration issues, its REALLY rare rn for me to read an entire book at all...Never mind a 300+ page novel in a single day!
1st time reading anything by her. Dang!

A few months ago, I set a goal to have coffee w/at least 2 folks new to my life,by Thanskgiving.
New FRIENDS was the idea.
Didn't happen organically from groups & events. Started thinking..Hmm,maybe romance is easier than friendship,in this city?? & so signed up for a dating app.

Some false reports are circulating that Mt. Rainier is suddenly showing seismic tremor activity β this is not true. The signal being referenced is actually radio interference, most likely due to rime ice buildup on the antenna of one of our seismic stations.

Woohoo! Got my acceptance letter today to my nearby community college for winter quarter!!

Don't cross the picket line!
Starbucks union workers are on strike demanding the corporation sign a fair contract after years of union-busting and refusing to come to the bargaining table.
Starbucks union workers are on strike demanding the corporation sign a fair contract after years of union-busting and refusing to come to the bargaining table.
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Multiple protests tomorrow, Seattle! I'm hoping to make it to at least one.
Standing alongside vets to call out this hateful administration, seems like a very appropriate thing to do on Veteran's Day. #fucktrump
