Ah, yes…here we are amid the sleepy dog days of summer when not much is happening. Somehow, we’ll find stuff to talk about tonight when the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally gets together for conversations and drinks. Please stop by, if you can.

We meet tonight and every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. You’ll find us on the back patio. We start at 8:00pm.

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.

Man big political news: Washington’s primary ballot dropped this week. You should have it in your hands this week. If you’re paying attention, you probably know how you’re voting on some big ticket races. But what about further down the ballot? Good news! Other people have put in the work.

– Fuse does great work statewide.

– The Stranger has Seattle area endorsements.

– The Sierra Club has endorsements for environmentally minded people.

If you have any other voters guides, feel free to leave them in the comments. And while you’re waiting for that ballot, maybe go wash your hands. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Hey, hey everyone. While we’re in the middle of the heatwave, can you please, please, please be respectful of people with the windows open? I like in the urban core of Seattle and I don’t have AC. So I have my window open. Like, I don’t like cars in general, but if you’re revving it after midnight or cranking loud music, don’t. Just fucking don’t.

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

I hope you all had a lovely 4th. I went to a citizenship ceremony at Seattle Center that was lovely. But I was probably in the sun for too long.

And man is it going to be too hot for a while. So remember your sunscreen wear a hat, and drink more water than you think you need. Make peeing clear your goal if you’ve been outside for long stretches.

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

Hey, maybe not so many fireworks, OK?
