– A stripper’s bill of rights (second item) sounds like something Fox News commentator would use to make fun of a Best Coast governor. And yet, it is clearly the right thing, and I am glad Governor Inslee signed it, and that he emphasized workplace rights.

– The culture at SPD needs a real kick in the ass. Jeez.

– Landlord Lives Matter, oh brother.

– Anyway, what a great time to wash your hands. And to make an appointment to get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Good morning. I hope that you enjoyed fake Spring part two. Real Spring should be arriving soon, but in the meantime, enjoy more rain. You are in Washington, it can’t be that surprising. Anyway real Spring starts about the same time as regular season baseball, so I look forward to both, eventually.

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

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

So, if you follow me on Bluesky, you may know that someone threw up on me on the 1 Line the other day. Not the most pleasant experience, but I was standing up and the people near me, sitting down got it much worse. Yuck, but!

Also quite a community Light Rail has. Within a second, people were reaching into their bags getting napkins and wipes and hand sanitizer. The guy who threw up ran out at the next stop, but there was real sympathy for him. A bunch of people jamed on the bus during rush hour looked after each other, felt sympathy, and even joked around. Too bad it took that to make it happen.

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

– Interesting look at the future of bike infrastructure in South Seattle under the Seattle Transportation Plan. Looking forward to the rest of the series

– Feels weird to support the King County Sheriff’s Office in a lawsuit, but yeah. They’re clearly right in their dispute with Burien about the homelessness ordinance.

– I don’t know what’s happening with Kate Middletown. Probably nothing. But yeah, bad PR from the royals.

– The NW Museum of Cartoon Arts is going to Kickstart their first exhibition soon.

– Wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

– Free COVID-19 and flu tests.

– When during the campaign, city council candidates said that they would take a look at the budget but couldn’t mention the specifics, well I guess it’s because it includes cutting a summer camp for special needs kids. Maybe they should have started looking before they were elected.

– Are we going to see an end to ballot title shopping?

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