It's impossible to stop for coffee at the West End Architectural Salvage and Coffee Shop without wandering around the upper floors of the building.

Life is short and it is precious. A lot of us do not act accordingly.

The smartest thing a politician can do in 2026 is to come up with a bold plan for shoring up and EXPANDING public libraries. Call it Project 2050. It's a way to reintroduce the grammar of commoning and the commons to a new generation in a way they can easily grasp. Such low hanging fruit.

Finished @ryan-holiday.bsky.social last book of his virtue series. I still think Courage Is Calling is my favorite, but this book is unique unto itself and took no small amount of courage to write, IMO. Definitely recommend.

You can, in fact, just do stuff. No permission needed. Have an idea? Execute it.

Remember, chasing your dreams is a radical act. Writing books and making art are expressions of optimism and faith in human nature. Conceiving of better worlds makes them possible.

Read @naominovik.bsky.social The Summer War over the weekend. A great story of fantasy and family with a heart warming ending. It was a pleasant distraction from the noise going on out in the world right now. And I love the cover - a shoutout to the designer.

A handful of angry Seattleites can stall the construction of affordable housing for YEARS but SDOT can decide to wipe out a bus-only lane in secret, seemingly overnight?
I was just as shocked with the news about the route 2 bus only lane as you. We are working on it. We need to prioritize pedestrian safety and not go backwards on our transit investments.
