Ruth @ruthdoesscience.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Wanting to live somewhere with only single family houses is so weird. Do these people genuinely want to drive to buy a soda or a coffee. It's so boring. Why live in a city at all 0210 0
Ruth @ruthdoesscience.bsky.social · 09/09/2026A great time to explore king county libraries - we're so lucky in Seattle to get access to two systems. I find most holds process faster through king county, which I blame on Seattlites' voracious reading habits 010 0

Ruth @ruthdoesscience.bsky.social · 29/08/2026People on nonimmigrant work visas still get SSNs. The card has a disclaimer "not valid without work authorization" or similar. Lots of working relationships don't check further. You can create an LLC or just ask to be paid in your name. 100 0

Ruth @ruthdoesscience.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Shockingly misguided for @us.theguardian.com to publish this, particularly without citations to whatever "evidence" is being discussed.

Ruth @ruthdoesscience.bsky.social · 24/05/2026They could close off through traffic with big concrete planters and only allow car access to that little section like on the healthy streets (which also need much better traffic calming - through traffic is still super common in those) 020 0
