1 Corinthians 14:34-35
Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.

A surprisingly good unexpected joy in Seattle comes when you pick up a Lime Bike off the ground. Strangers will thank you. When there are several bikes, other people will often help. It’s great. There are a few seconds of community and then back to whatever we were doing. I know, it’s free labor for a private company, but still, can’t beat it.

It’s not on their website, but KUOW had a piece on the band Thunderpussy. It was fantastic how many times they said it. I have no idea who in standards and practices approved it, but all the kudos.
White American Evangelical Christians are going to have to figure out how far they’re willing to go along with Trump. I know, how about stop when he discriminated against Black people in housing? Or when he took his first shit in a gold plated toilet in a tower over a then impoverished city. Or when he said Mexicans are rapists. Or when when they heard him bragging about all the sexual assault. Or his attacks on food stamps and insurance while giving tax cuts to the wealthy. Or the sex outside marriage.
I know, for decent people support for Trump should have waned long ago, or never started. But now it’s at least a possibly that paid for one of his mistress’ abortions. Now, I don’t care if it wasn’t coerced. But White Evangelicals have been pretending that abortion is the same thing as murder for decades. I don’t think that they will care, but maybe that will be too far.
Once again, tonight is an election night with primaries in Arkansas, Georgia and Kentucky, and some runoff elections in Texas. Stop by tonight’s edition of the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally and join our conversations about politics, elections, guns, the media, bike lanes, head tax….

What ever happened to Seattle nice?
I was on the bus over the weekend, and I sat in the seats over the wheels that face each other, as opposed to the ones that face forward. It was bright out, so I had my sunglasses on. I should say for this story that they weren’t particularly dark.
I wasn’t really paying attention to anything other than the podcast about the Holy Roman Empire that I was listening to. The guy sitting across from me says, “where are you getting off the bus?”
I assumed he was going to need some help with something and was looking for a recruit. I really didn’t know. “Queen Anne.”
He didn’t say anything for a bit and then angrily said, “take your fucking glasses off. You’re being creepy.”
Now, I’m not damaging my eyes because some coked up (?) jackass on the bus is having a paranoid reaction to me sitting. So I sort of nod my head no, and go back to the podcast. Now guy who is concerned about creepy people on the bus is starting at me intently. And I have to pay him much more attention than I had been. He got off the bus before me and the rest of the section of the bus started laughing at him.
Be nicer, Seattle.
