“If our viral moment contributes anything to the ongoing cultural conversation about how we judge what we see online, I hope it reminds us to be more comfortable saying, “I don’t know the whole story.””

In Seattle, ballots are picked up from drop boxes by King County Elections staff throughout the election. The cycle depends on volume but they do a phenomenal job of keeping up with voter turnout.

Saw The End of Oak Street last night and this was parked next to our house today. IYKYK. (It was fun escape, not the best movie ever.)

Have you watched the animated film Flow? It’s wonderful but a few minutes in I had to ask my friend to reassure me that the cat would be fine. (She was seeing it for the second time.) even then, my anxiety level kept spiking at times.

Happy seventh birthday to Lelu. We have to remember her brother, Dexter, too. Lost Dexter when he was a few months over two. #catsofbluesky #kittehs

I had a cold while I read it when it first came out. Every sneeze and sniffle freaked me out.

Man, I really hit the worst couple of years to have been out in Seattle. They weren't pulling quality like this when I was there.
