Seattle’s Drinking Liberally goes on omicron hiatus
The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally is giving-in to the viral terrorists. We will not be meeting at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern tonight or in the near future. With any luck the omicron wave will be fast and not furious, and we will all get to drink together to each other’s good health real soon.
Be safe, get your booster, and always wear a mask in any circumstance where someone else’s droplets might end up in your mouth, nose, or eyes….
Monday Open Thread (12-20)
Man, I don’t know how to feel about Senator Ericksen dying. Obviously, any loss of human life is sad. And you should feel bad for his family. It stinks. While there are things you can do, dying of COVID, or anything else, isn’t a morality tale.
He also made COVID-19 worse in the state, and — because we’re not hermetically sealed — the rest of the country and world. His legacy of conservative advocacy is pretty gross. It’s the sort of thing that you hope to defeat in elections. Having a death short-circuit that leaves a void.
Anyway, on that bummer note, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Friday Open Thread
Good morning. I hope you are all doing well. I am still feeling a bit yucky from the dentist. So not thrilled about that.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now, and get vaccinated or boosted (boosted?) if you haven’t yet.
Thursday Open Thread (?)
Sorry I didn’t write something yesterday. I went to the dentist in the morning and felt not good for the rest of the day. I still don’t feel great, but here we are.
Over the weekend, King County passed 80% of residents 5 and older vaccinated. If you’re in King County, and you’re one of those people, I am so glad we’re in it together. We’re getting it done. With Omicron coming, we’re prepared pretty well. I am proud to live here.
And hey, wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you haven’t yet,
Drinking Liberally — Seattle
Bundle up and make your way to the Roanoke Park Place Tavern this evening for the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally. There’ll be conversations and drinks out on the back patio.
The Seattle chapter of DL meets every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern (2409 10th Ave E, Seattle) starting at 8pm. A COVID vaccination card and ID are required to enter the Roanoke.
Chapters of Drinking Liberally can be found all over the place. If you can’t make the Seattle chapter, find a chapter near you.
Your Monday Open Thread!
The omicron variant is being found in several Washington locations. 6 of the 9 cases are in King County. I don’t have any idea if it’s in King County more than the rest of the state, or if more testing is being done in King County.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And for goodness sake, if you aren’t vaccinated, get vaccinated, and if you aren’t boosted (boosterized?) get it.

Friday Open Thread, Baby!
The police should not roll their bicycle over protesters (point 2). And 10 day unpaid suspension, possibly broken up, seems like a slap on the wrist. Come on. And you have to think it would have been even less if it hadn’t been caught on tape.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted (boostered?) if you haven’t yet.
Wednesday Morning Open Thread
I have no idea how to estimate the post election swing on this recall. If Sawant was only down 53 to 46 in previous elections, you would have to say it was a gimme. But a higher percent of the votes have been counted (King County has the same facilities, but only one election). And recalls aren’t the same as general elections. So we’ll see. Probably more quickly than usual.
Annnnnyway, please wash your hands right now. And if aren’t vaccinated, please do. If you haven’t been boosted and you are available, please do. I have my booster appointment this weekend. There were plenty of slots available in South Lake Union when I signed up last night.
Drinking Liberally — Seattle
If you can, please stop by the Roanoke Park Place Tavern this evening as the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally gathers for some conversation and drinks with a distinctly political flavor.
The Seattle chapter of DL meets every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern (2409 10th Ave E, Seattle) starting at 8pm. A COVID vaccination card and ID are required to enter the Roanoke.
Chapters of Drinking Liberally can be found all over the place. If you can’t make the Seattle chapter, find a chapter near you.
Monday Open Thread
If you live in the 3rd District in Seattle, you have until tomorrow to drop off or have your ballot postmarked. Again, I hope you will oppose the recall. Sawant is good on the council, and the recall is a net negative waste of time and money even for a more typical member.
Also, I appreciate the residents of the tiny house village in the U District being neighborly, but there’s something off about this story. People transitioning out of homelessness can be good stewards of the place seems obvious enough that maybe it doesn’t need a story. But maybe it’s a good counter to the relentless negative messaging around the unhoused that it does need saying sometimes?
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And hey, get vaccinated or get boosted if you’re eligible.
