Friday!

by Carl Ballard — Friday, 7/12/24, 8:21 am

– Seattle isn’t the only place that can’t deal with homelessness in anything approaching decency. So congratulations to Lacey on winning your court case that allows cruelty to the least of us.

– Don’t worry, Seattle you aren’t just catching strays.

– Also, Seattle, throw the book at the officer who laughed at Jaahnavi Kandula’s death.

– Is this too Seattle based? Here’s the info on the transportation levy.

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

So excited to see signs of the extended 1 Line popping up when I take light rail. Sorry I don’t know how to show a Bluesky post, but I was excited first about new maps and now the electronic signs being updated. It’s so cool to see my region doing this cool thing.

Anyway please wash your hands right now 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.

    Friday But It Feels Weird Since Thursday Was A Holiday Open Thread

    by Carl Ballard — Friday, 7/5/24, 8:31 am

    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.
