Gosh, it seems like a sweeps-centered plan to get people into shelter isn’t working. Maybe of we do more sweeps, we can crack the code.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Last week’s Friday Night Multimedia Extravaganza can be found here.

I don’t know what’s going on in Edmonds. Special council meeting to vote on the demand people find a shelter despite not having any shelter. Several times.

Now shelter has to be 35 miles from Edmonds City Hall. That sounds like a lot. Just eyeballing it, they’re saying if there’s shelter anywhere between Everett and Seattle, they can fine someone for sleeping on a bench and send them to jail. It’s just cruel. At least it keeps not getting a vote.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated if you haven’t and get boosted if you’re eligible.

Roe v Wade is almost certainly going to be overturned. It’s awful. It’s going to mean a lot of women, trans men nonbinary people, and other people who can get pregnant are going to have much worse life outcomes. Including, but hardly limited to, dying in childbirth and raising unwanted children. Awful.

It will probably be state by state for a while. Here in Washington abortion will still be legal for now. Of course the people who spent the last several decades talking about states rights will try to take bans national.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
