Windy McHindenburg @oldtrout.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I don't know if it makes you feel any better, but there are an average of seven cases of plague reported every year in the U.S.. Last year, there was one death from pneumonic plague, in Arizona. 120
Windy McHindenburg @oldtrout.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Totally agree. Why is it that no one mentions that we were ALREADY deporting, or otherwise holding accountable, the "worst of the worst." Everything was already in place to arrest criminals, and this was happening. Another problem that was being addressed, but didn't quite stroke the racists enough. 010

Windy McHindenburg @oldtrout.bsky.social · 28/09/2026My county voted for Obama, but also voted for Trump three times. I'm hoping people here are angry enough about gas prices to go all blue, but that's just hoping. Lotsa white people here. We'll see where the dust settles after November 3 (or the weeks after that, after the counting's done)! 010
Windy McHindenburg @oldtrout.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I just finished watching the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, and there was that compass that always pointed to the place you truly desired...perhaps you have an internal compass, and that's what's at work here... 010
Windy McHindenburg @oldtrout.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I was happy to see the Millionaires tax pass, and I'll def be voting no on on I-645! 020
Windy McHindenburg @oldtrout.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Yes, I should've mentioned I don't live in King County! I live in a red county, and thank my lucky stars that King County votes the way it does in our statewide elections! 100
Windy McHindenburg @oldtrout.bsky.social · 28/09/2026There seem to be a lot of patterns that try to get these unusual gauges. I don't think one can knit a truly Aran weight yarn down to 5.5 spi (22sts/4 in.), but maybe that's me. I can get some (light) "Aran" weight yarns down to 5 spi (20sts/4 in.), but 5.5spi is usually dk weight. Good luck! 120
Windy McHindenburg @oldtrout.bsky.social · 28/09/2026It's weird to me (a transplant - lived here 11 years) how WA is a blue state, but there is this huge amount of anti-tax sentiment (no state income tax, that odd "advisory vote" thing that is just people complaining, unqualified small business owners who run on opposing taxes getting purchase). 100

Windy McHindenburg @oldtrout.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Taxes are higher here because we have no state income tax, so lots of regressive taxes, which are harder on middle and lower income people. At least we have democratic majorities in state congress that try to make good choices to help people. 110
Windy McHindenburg @oldtrout.bsky.social · 25/09/2026It's always high here (Washington state), because we have a lot of additional taxes added on that pay for all kinds of good things! I don't mind the taxes, but it makes times like these even worse! 110
Windy McHindenburg @oldtrout.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I'd drive 20 miles to get gas at that price! Paid $5.29 (with rewards discount) yesterday! 210

Windy McHindenburg @oldtrout.bsky.social · 15/09/2026ALL the grifters just talk, and don't do the work. Not surprising Bernie is "speaking" and not writing legislation or working with dems to write legislation for when we take the Senate. He's a talker, not a do-er. And yet, so many think he's such a "fighter." Sad. 030
