I enjoy being an agent of chaos.

I like being an uncle for the holidays because: Mom and dad are responsible, and will discipline you. Grandpa and Grandma are indulgent, and will coddle you. But the uncle... the uncle is unpredictable. The niece and nephew cannot know what the uncle will do, because the soul of the uncle is CHAOS

Another great idea for bringing back some of Seattle’s tree canopy. I lived near and walked by the 17th & Republican corner for about 12 years. It was always my favorite part of the neighborhood. Along with the corner at the north of the block, which closes off a east/west road to make a small park.

Seattle, this is the way! My neighborhood, Mid-Beacon Hill, has a stunning lack of tree canopy. This could all happen on publicly-owned land…cheap, simple, a no-brainer. In addition to the environmental benefits, just try and imagine what the city would look like in 20 years!

Seattle could meet its 30% tree canopy goal much quicker by converting a quarter of its 500,000 on-street parking spaces. The paving-to-planting conversion would convey many benefits, cooling neighborhoods and absorbing runoff. Op-ed: www.theurbanist.org/2025/02/22/o...

Couldn’t agree more. At every turn, democrats must ask WWMMD?

Reading list, February: The Sirens’ Call by @chrislhayes.bsky.social Started this last week and it is fascinating. Highly recommend for the time we’re living through. Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler. This will be my 3rd Butler book. Looks as if this book may have been more than prescient.
