You know that thing where an American goes to a Scandinavian country and consistently experiences less than 5 minute headways on the transportation system and can't shut up about it? That's me now.

As I plan my upcoming trip, for as long as I can, I want to travel to at least one new city every year. I think next year it will be somewhere in Scotland. Would love recos.

I decided my birthday present to myself this year is a trip to a city I've never been to before. Where should I go hang out in Copenhagen?

Hopes were sky high for shin-Sekiwake Wakatakakage upon winning the yusho in a sensational bout versus Takayasu on the final day of spring 2022. Surely an ozeki title was in his future. Always in impecable condition, no one imagined he'd suffer a major knee injury (in 2023) that would derail ...

First day commuting on line 2, going in and coming home both took about the same amount of time. Train was crowded on the way home. Not sure what percentage was tourists. Guessing I saved 20-30 minutes off my overall commuting time vs taking the bus. Gotta walk a bit more, but I don't mind that.

Every so often I'll get on the bus and head up to the Metropolitan Market in Queen Anne. The most direct way was the 8 which always took a while as it wound through eastern Capitol Hill and then crawled up Denny. Takes about an hour to get there.

Recharge. Stay hydrated. Eat a healthy snack. Breathe. Embrace moments of joy wherever you can find them. Prolonged stress can have long term health consequences. Self care is not selfish - it’s empowering. (More info in alt)

A digital art drawing with a cat in three different modes with accompanying text: "rest, regulate, resist”.

Inspired by the political situation that has been unfolding in the US - protests, murders of civilians in the streets by ICE/CBP agents, and the rising fascism that’s been taking hold here. It’s a lot to process. There’s a lot of important news happening, and the term “doomscrolling” feels trivializing in the face of a situation that is unfolding on people’s doorsteps right now. Yes, it’s very important to stay aware and informed.

BUT - it’s also important to be aware of the impact that prolonged acute stress can have on the nervous system. It’s a health hazard in itself, and can result in long term heath problems, including chronic illnesses such as me/cfs. (Ask me how I know… 😞)

So, it’s absolutely crucial during this time to take care of yourself and, as much as possible, not get fully swept away in the stress of current events, as scary, nerve-wracking, infuriating, dangerous, and immediate as they are. Self care is not selfish. We need you at your best.

Union workers solved the trolley problem, you're welcome

IWW IU 520 (Railroad Workers) PRESENTS:

TROLLEY PROBLEM SOLUTION

"Slip the switch" by flipping it while the trolley's front wheels have passed through, but before the back wheels do. This will cause a controlled derailment bringing the trolley to a safe halt.

i think this gets at something important which is that normal people are rightly pissed off that they’re having normal time stolen from them by this ravaging horde of jumped up mall cops. everybody has to work in the morning! why is it THEIR job to hold their community together in such a basic way!

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

Text: “A friend said those of us who live in Minneapolis should write about what's going on here for folks who live elsewhere. You need to know that whether you're a Republican, Independent or Democrat, the Constitution is being violated by our federal government. This is not about catching criminals, or even deporting people. It is about punishing an entire state, including
citizens, for not supporting the president. Everyone in my part of Minneapolis is affected. On our streets, ICE is stopping people of color and demanding their papers. In America. US citizens do not have to prove citizenship to ICE. Yet people are being intimidated, some cases beaten up and detained, for requiring ICE to follow the law. ICE needs a judicial warrant to enter homes. Yet there are documented cases of them
ignoring the law - violating a bedrock constitutional principle. Americans of color are staying home, afraid to go to work, school, to grocery shop, or fill their cars with gas. This isn't just "illegals" or immigrants with valid work permits, it is citizens who have had their cars rammed by ICE for merely looking Hispanic. Businesses are closing. Schools are 50 percent full. When they are open, fascists are calling in bomb threats because the
president decided to make us a meme. After a daycare teacher with a valid work permit (through 2030) was snatched from her workplace, parents (and grandparents) have had to organize to watch their SCHOOLS, to make sure conditional rights are observed. This is being repeated throughout Minnesota. Imagine trying to do your job or live you life while also taking volunteer shifts to make sure the federal
government doesn't act extrajudicially.
Because of ICE's documented abuses, neighbors have organized to monitor federal actions. This observation is legal, as long as it doesn't interfere with a valid action. Yet since ICE killed Renee Good, they are increasingly stopping this observation, breaking car windows and …”

ICE may be shooting people in the face, sending people to concentration camps, and illegally occupying our cities but, apparently, the Democrats think saying, "abolish ICE" is "emotional" and politically "lethal."
