Melissa M. @melmejia.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Twenty years ago today we got married and threw the biggest party with a Mariachi band and Salt Lick bbq. My husband sent these to my work and blew my colleagues’ minds! 💛 (Owly thinks they are for him 😂) 040

Melissa M. @melmejia.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Some friends from Austin are coming to visit next month & I’m delighting them with what to expect: Pippa dog will show off by presenting her cardboard, whole boxes & little teeny pieces she tears off, & Ricky cat will insist on being in the bathroom with them—especially when they’re in the shower 😂 030

Melissa M. @melmejia.bsky.social · 10/09/2026While walking Pippa this morning we saw a waddling of ducks who live around the corner making their way to our street. We also saw a doe on the other side of our street & she was fascinated by the ducks! They all stared at each other for a bit & then the doe started walking toward the ducks! 240

Here's why I lay the blame at SPS's feet. 1/seattletimes.comSeattle teachers authorize strike; school year start date in questionThe Seattle Education Association, which represents roughly 6,000 teachers and support staff in the city, voted to authorize a strike late Wednesday. 14613
