Bikini Kill, Die Spitz, Lucy Dacus, and Turnstile -- and that's just DAY ONE. Bumbershoot is my new favorite thing about Seattle. 🤘

I saw the NW Detention Center in Tacoma for the first time this weekend. Let's be clear: this is a concentration camp and it needs to be shut down NOW.

The Blue Angels didn't fly today because of a little Cascadia wind. We'll take that as a victory.

Hey Bluesky friends! Have a great weekend, I'm headed out backpacking for a couple nights. Have my trail pass for #Cascadia...

ICE is ramping up and out of control. If you've considered volunteering for a rapid response or observer group, now is the time.

This is a big mistake. New apartment construction and permitting has plummeted in the past two years.

Paid a visit to the Obamalisk in Chicago. (Didn't have tickets but the grounds & branch of Chicago Public Library are amazing).

Weird how all these apartment buildings next to single family homes in Chicago don't seem to ruin the "neighborhood character."

SEATTLE, JUNE 25: Speak out for declaration of a trans civil emergency, and urge the city to come up with significant funding to help relocation trans people who've arrived in our city after fleeing hostile states. City council hearing starts at 2 pm, arrive at 1:30

Yeah, I'm in co-op apartment in Seattle so no wood fired oven for me, but the pizza stone and oven at 550 does a decent job

What a powerful and fun event for #Cascadia Day! Thank you to our six talented poets, to Vermillion Seattle for hosting us, and to Wade Atkinson for these amazing photos. I feel hopeful and more courageous for our bioregion after this.

Just got back a records request from SCORE jail in south King County about a 2025 death in custody and it's pretty much just one hundred completely blacked out pages.

An email between jail officials and a medical officer with the private contractor corporation Wellpath that is three completely blacked out pages.

Hey Seattle friends, hope you'll join us in celebrating #Cascadia Day at 7 pm Monday, May 18 with a poetry reading from some fabulous poets! And we'll be raising money for mutual aid projects providing direct assistance immigrants and trans people.
