– After a decade on the City Council, Kshama Sawant has certainly earned moving on. Still, I don’t think if her replacement lasts a decade, whoever they are, that they will be able to point to anything like the minimum wage or renter protection that she has produced.

– Glad we’re renaming some gross things.

– I don’t know what to make of the reporting of deaths in tiny house villages.

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

– Full service Amtrak to Canada’s Vancouver. Very nice.

– I liked this article about implementing the Organics Management Law. A lot of getting into the weeds on everything from building facilities to all those stickers on your fruit.

– I am excited to see how unlimited vacation works out for Microsoft (First item under “Last Week in Corporations”). Hopefully it goes well for productivity and for employees. (I wrote, but didn’t publish this before the news of the layoffs. So addendum: Oof).

– Good information on possible Ballard Station options.

– Man, fuck Jim Jordan.

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

– I am fascinated by all of the ways homeless people in the Seattle area survive despite the cities and counties not doing nearly enough. This story about people sleeping rough in SeaTac is another example. Geez.

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

– Social media doesn’t seem very healthy for children. I don’t know if a lawsuit is the best remedy, but it will be interesting if it gains traction.

– I have not had any of these bagels. Perhaps it’s time to change that.

I will probably ask you to write your legislator several times this session. I am going to start with a bill that will not pass either house in the Democratic controlled legislature and would be vetoed by Governor Inslee if it somehow got to his desk. I am talking about this transphobia smorgasbord.

Representative Jim Walsh wishes to pick on trans people. Trans youth who need protection. Trans youth who are some of the most vulnerable people in our society.

So I am asking you to find your legislators and let them know that you oppose HB 1214. I would like their bigotry to be rejected now, before it has a chance to take hold in Washington.

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

Shoplifting is a problem. And I am sure if you’re working retail or retail security Downtown, it’s part of a larger problem. So I can understand why you would be excited about the police arresting shoplifters. But, while the story isn’t complete yet, it appears that a lot of the arrests are not prolific shoplifters.

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

The legislature starts next week. What do you want from them?

For me, it’s time — it’s past time — to get density around transit stops. Come on. Let’s get it done.

I would also like as much funding for abortion as we can get. If we have the votes, and the polling looks good, we should have a constitutional amendment to enshrine abortion rights.

And for you, I hope that you wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
