It is election night! Priority one is getting that ballot to a drop box. And priority two is stopping by the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally for some politics and good cheer over a drink.

The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern (2409 10th Ave E, Seattle) starting at 8pm. You’ll find us on the back patio.

Chapters of Living Liberally are all over the place…if you can’t make it to the Seattle chapter, stop by another chapter near you.

Tomorrow is the last day to get your ballot postmarked or dropped off. City, county and school board elections are super important. The guy with the Blue Lives Matter bumper sticker you passed last night? He’s voted. The lady who came to school board meetings to yell about trans kids? She voted the day she got her ballot. But their vote counts the same as yours, so let’s elect the best people.

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

You guys. You guys. The Needling is so great right now. Satire is very difficult. They are nailing the hell out of it.

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