The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets tonight for some lively political discussion over a drink. Stop by, if you can.
The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern (2409 10th Ave E, Seattle) starting at 8pm in the back room of the pub or out on the patio.
Chapters of Living Liberally are all over the place…if you can’t make it to the Seattle chapter, there is probably another nearby chapter for you.
Cheers,
Darryl
If you’re in a jurisdiction that’s having a special election, get your ballot postmarked or dropped off by Tuesday. If you’re in Seattle, please vote for the social housing initiative. If you’re in King County, separately, there’s an online ballot for King Conservation District. An important, if kind of silly, election. I voted for Porter, but I don’t really have a strong opinion on the others.
And, hey, it’s Valentine’s tomorrow. So you might as well get voting done today. Save yourself any hassle.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Hey, you. Yeah you. Do you qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit? Are you close? Might as well see if you’re eligible for the Washington Working Families Tax Credit.
And hey, wash your hands right now. And please for goodness sake, for goodness sake get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
A little over a week ago, one of my coworkers got COVID. It was probably the most prolonged time I have spent with someone who had it. And still, I have continued to test negative. So, please get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
Tonight is State of the Union night, and the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally will get together for lively political discussion over drinks. We will still meet at 8pm at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern (2409 10th Ave E, Seattle). But the pub has TVs if you want to show up at the 6pm start of the SOTU address and watch it there. Otherwise, swing by after the SOTU address.

Those of you in King County, who are you voting for in the Conservation District election? It is very silly that we have this weird pseudo election, but we have an obligation to try to get the best people in positions like that.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

– Narcan at libraries has been a thing. I am not 100% sure what the advantages of having it in a vending machine are, but I trust advocates.
– Get flippin’ vaccinated or boosted already. Goodness sake.
– I had never heard of resilience hubs before reading this article. Interesting.
– Look at all the chemicals we’re dumping in Puget Sound.
– The last 747 has been manufactured. I am surprised how nostalgic I feel about it.
– The bills on what to do about possession of drugs (item 1) is interesting. It doesn’t seem likely to pass, but you can write your legislator in favor of Senator Dhingra’s decriminalization bill.
– Good news for bike infrastructure.
– Fred Clark is good people. Drop him a few dimes if you can spare them. And if you haven’t, go read the Left Behind series.
– Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

I think it’s a good idea to sue car companies that make products that are easy to steal. If it makes a difference, that seems like a better thing for everyone. But I guess only if it pressures them to make a change.
I don’t know that a city makes more sense than states or the Federal government. But those haven’t done it, so don’t let the perfect get in the way of the good.
I don’t know, maybe next we can design our way to not needing cars at all.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Good morning. Some municipalities have elections coming up soon. If you live in Seattle, you should be getting your ballot for the social housing initiative soon. I would encourage you to support it.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. Right now. And schedule yourself or your family to get vaccinated or boosted.
Has anyone else had Orca Cards be too sensitive? The other day mine tapped off and then immediately back on. I tried to tap that again but it just said I had already tapped. A line was forming behind me and I have a monthly pass, so it didn’t cost me anything. But I imagine it would be annoying if it was taking money out of my account.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
