Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The rules about not declining any shifts within 35 miles of your residence, and the advice to keep fresh clothes + toiletries in your car so you don't need to go home between shifts? Wtaf, policies need changing along with wages. 090
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 04/10/2026They weren't fully closed, just super restricted via advance pre-paid passes that were purchased with match tickets. I assumed they wanted to personally profit from personal vehicles. Parking here today is $10 less than the last Seahawks home game, making me think the East Link works. 040
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Really glad to see this, Kate is a terrific reporter and writer. Among much else, I hope her coverage helps boost the crowd at Reign games. And it sounds like she'll keep covering my favorite kind of Kraken stories. (Also, remember you can log in via the library system if need be.) 020
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 03/10/2026You can also dip into the perfect Cafe Allegro and see a lot of my sister-in-law's lovely art. The Ave shouldn't have cars most of the time, and also sorry to all the students who had to listen to my family & I play Remember When about The Ave. 030
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Fuck yeah, Salish Supersonics www.seattletimes.com/opinion/why-...seattletimes.comWhy not north? We, the Tulalip Tribes, are ready to host the Sonics | Op-EdThe Sonics fandom stretches far beyond Seattle, and there are hungry NBA fans in B.C., too. Why not build an arena up north? 010
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Idk what the bee equivalent of "chef's kiss" is but I love it, you've created the ideal dense and walkable neighborhood for Ms. Bee. 010
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I want to hear supporters get a call/response of FISHHH / LOCKK around the stadium the way I hear SEA / HAWKSS for hours on those game days. Be the change, I guess, I'll give it a go on getting it started from my balcony later. 020
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 02/10/2026One of my favorite things to spot in a garden tbh. Not sure if you have any vegetable beds, but you're sure set up for midsummer pollination! 110
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Maybe if we cling to eyyyy kaapo kakko, Eddie will come back to us! 010
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Turns out they've ripped off a ton of stories featuring Madison Square Garden. 010
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I earned my gloom and black eyeliner for sure. And it made me a lifelong non-professional advocate for every harm-reducing transportation project I encounter because "cars as murderous public health issue" is hard to back off from once you experience it. 020
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Omg all those angry emails for YEARS made a difference? (I don't actually believe they did, I expect it was polling or something) 000
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The colleague was the brilliant Della Chen. Here's the trailer for her terrific documentary She Marches in Chinatown. filmfreeway.com/SheMarchesin...filmfreeway.comShe Marches in ChinatownIn 1952, an unlikely group formed in Seattle’s Chinatown. A group of Asian American high school girls wanted to be of service to the community, and approache... 020
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 30/09/2026By the time I finished high school, I knew 13. Half were athletes in a single bus crash, all others involved impaired driving. Add one fairly recent death of a colleague and 3 pals who survived incidents with traumatic injuries (one driver, one pedestrian, one cyclist). 242
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 30/09/2026And the addition of Nigella is a joy! Kindness + actual enjoyment of food = lovely improvements. 120
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Anyone else remember the back-to-school campaign when Target had Sir Mix-a-lot say "I like backpacks and I cannot lie" or it is just me with that goofy-ass line in my head 021
Reposted by Jill LightnerRaisins @youlikeraisins.bsky.social · 30/09/2026@juliareedwa.bsky.social can we please look into getting this type of law passed for WA? I was unaware that most universities can hide this critical information. 121
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 27/09/2026No see it would have been bad luck to not break our winning streak here. We are not the 13s! 000
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I'm glad the artist provided fingers, I was briefly confused by how a steer would tie a bow tie. 010

Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Accidentally typed a query into Google again. Not surprised that the terrible AI is incorrect, but am surprised that it managed to be incorrect twice for Nilu Jenks. 000
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 20/09/2026We are so lucky to have him. During Seahawks games I say "why isn't there a Forsland for football" as reliably as he says "bevy of humanity." 110
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 20/09/2026My household would buy at least three of these for the ID and Columbia City stops, and I think we'd all chip for a commemorative Mount Baker shirt for that one driver from earlier this summer. 000
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Somehow bro seems to have become genderless, but with your specific example, "what are we doing here?" is inclusive and nicely communicates exasperation, and adding "man" or another substitute seems unnecessary unless you are channeling The Dude. Edits like that often the best choice. 021
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 18/09/2026My spouse will get on the Bloodworks NW Tree of Life (100 gallons) in 3 more donations, but for now, he just proudly showed me his newest badge of honor. 010
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The biggest downside to my generally wonderful new neighborhood is realizing just how many dupes there are of that Belltown Hellcat fool. 000
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 17/09/2026My favorite gay wizard friend has introduced me to the combo of cashews + candy corn--those ridiculous fondant triangles benefit from the salt and the texture combo is ideal. I hope you all have at least one gay wizard friend texting their frivolous wisdom to you. 030
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 17/09/2026My household sent 2 emails in support yesterday afternoon but assume today's in-person people get more attention 000
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Because tech bros don't wear helmets or because of something more sinister & interesting 030
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I'm so relieved to see an announcement and hope she thrives. 010
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Same on the music, I felt an obligation to try. I do enjoy the cat ladyness, and also that she wrote an entire song about her new husband's dick. 100
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Mine took 5 years and warranty was also expired but somehow it only cost me $100 to replace. Totally different setup than yours but maybe there's hope. 000
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 12/09/2026There was a rule about "no playing your instrument on the train" and I did my best to convince him that everyone would think a sad trombone was hilarious if there were delays 050
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 12/09/2026My cousin is a high school band teacher on the Eastside and today the kids were scheduled for a big thing at the Husky stadium. So they took light rail. I think sousaphones and bass drums got a van ride from school to station? Everyone else rode all kitted out. We're a real city now. 2101
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Adam Tailor on Rainier Ave S has done terrific work for me, both repair and a "how do we handle taking in alllll these pleats" dress situation. They're terrific, if available. 111
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 09/09/2026There is a sports betting app set up across the street by the Seahawks stadium giving out free hot dogs once you download their app and, I quote, get your bag. Sports betting is illegal in WA unless you're at a tribal casino. I don't understand some things about modern life. 010
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Made it to 1:07pm for the first SEA....HAWKS chant, which wrapped up with a sweet "best city in the world!" 000
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I will take your word for it! My entire relationship with Montana is having driven through it twice. Which is approximately my relationship with any university, too. 110
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 05/09/2026The Mariners just had a Hello Kitty satin jacket thing this week, one gazillion of them were being worn (and carried around in plastic for what I assume was resale) the other night when I don't think a game was on 110
Jill Lightner @jilllightner.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Together these quizzes think I'm a college student from Montana 120
