Public Transit sure is great when it actually goes where you want. I struggle to get myself to transit as much as I might like, when it takes 2-3x longer to transit than to drive. But today, driving from my home in Burien to the university district for an appt, would've taken 50 minutes, vs

I hung up a spice rack in the bathroom for our overflowing nail polish collection. I didn't have pretty fasteners on hand to hang it, so I made screw covers with air dry clay.

Photo of the top of a rack, which has 2 screw eyes for hanging coming out of the top end. The eyes are hooked on to screws, which you can't really see, because there's a white bunny head with black eyes covering each one. The bunny head screw covers are made of air dry clay.

Closer photo of just one of the rack's screw eyes, hanging on a screw that's in the wall. My hand has removed the bunny screw cover and is showing the screw head indentation in the back of the cover.

As someone who "needs to" drive a big van for my work, I too am frustrated that such vehicles seem to be designed to get people to do manslaughter. I took the plastic trim off my driver's side A-column after I missed 2 ped'rians trying to cross in front of me due to it adding inches of blockage

Annika is a small fluffy calby cat, laying on her back in my lap with her paws stretched forward and her head on my chest, looking up at my face.

I'm a pale/pink skinned person with short brown hair, a patchy short curly beard, and glasses, wearing a bathrobe and sitting in a recliner with a blanket over my lap. My visible hand is on Annika's fluffy belly. I am looking down at her, smiling slightly.

It bothers me when a book cover is just... wrong. I mean, maybe there's going to be another significant sapphire that's pear cut... But the 2 sapphires that have been plot relevant for the past 2 books are specified to be "emerald cut" and I'm pretty sure also "rectangular", so whyyyyy?

Should I go for a mitigation hearing or a contested hearing for the photo enforced bus lane on Aurora southbound between the bridge and the tunnel, where the only warning sign has been obscured at least 6 months? I also have my mileage tracker showing I got in the lane to make a right turn.

$Screenshot of the traffic ticket hearing request form page which explains the difference between mitigation hearing and contested hearing Mitigation hearing - If you request a mitigation hearing, you are admitting that you committed the infraction; you may ask for the penalty amount be reduced or waived based on the circumstances of the violation and/or your personal circumstances. You may submit photographic or documentary evidence. You may not subpoena witnesses. Contested hearing - If you request a contested hearing, you are denying that you committed the infraction. At a contested hearing, the City has the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that the infraction was committed. You may submit photographic or documentary evidence. You may require witnesses to testify, including the officer who issued the notice of infraction. https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=RR7meOtrCUCPmTWdi1T0G_TPjbZuexNNklV_rYwmMLVURUpTUjE5WDVVOFFBRzQ0WlZZU1BPTzdWTC4u&route=shorturl$ Photo of the citation with the part that says "At this location, signs are placed which clearly indicate to drivers that they are entering a zone where traffic laws are enforced by an automated traffic safety camera." highlighted

They start with chin-scratching pieces from centrists about whether this marginalized group is really all that good after all, if maybe a *little* discrimination is ok. They don't start with horrors. They start with small things around the edges.
