Me whenever anyone says anything that inches close to being negative about the Pac12, Wazzu, WA, or the west coast:

The writer of this article:

UW really said "we're ending the 109 year old basketball series but we'll play you for pretend" and now I know why.

Remember when they told us to watch a cute movie about a lion and it was straight up Hamlet?

Cascadia loves Cascadia!

Washington State’s millionaires tax will fund universal free school meals for every public school student in the state. Unless voters repeal the tax. Vote NO on I-645!

Sh*t hole state making people stand in line for hours to cast a vote. Couldn’t pay me to live in Texas.

I don’t trust a single poll I’ve seen. Approval ratings mean nothing to me. We’ve seen these exact numbers before and been completely burned and blindsided. Please just vote. Don’t sit this out like 89,000,000 Americans (36%) did in 2024. Not voting is approval of the status quo. #FUCKINGVOTE ! !

Cascadia now!!! Pacifica now!!! We owe the federal government nothing.

Are you registered to vote? Check your registration status today. VoteWA.gov.

Make no mistake. They're planning to leave NATO and ally with Putin. Yet another argument for a free #Cascadia.

Oh! So you’re treating at @myfranciscan.bsky.social then? Well, enjoy them never proving access to your medical records/billing info. PS suck a d*ck Common Spirit.

If Gavin Newsom runs for president in 2028, remember whose side he was on in the fight to rein in the wealth and power of billionaires in California. With @wkamaubell.bsky.social

(Ralph Wiggum voice) I’m a class traitor!

The federal government will always let your children be sacrificed as long as it’s profitable. You owe the Feds nothing. Not your money, not your loyalty and not your citizenship. #Cascadia #Pacifica

ICE is refusing to return personal items to people who've been released, including driver's licenses and passports, proof of immigration status, employment authorization documents, cell phones, wedding rings, cash, and more. This is illegal. The ACLU of DC and ACLU of Illinois are suing.

Olympia is the coolest city in WA and it only keeps getting cooler.

Republicans control both chambers of the legislature, the executive branch, and the supreme court. If they were going to do this it would be done. Lying is bad enough but the sheer audacity of these people really pisses me off.

Since the start of the Trump Administration more than 500 innocent U.S. citizens have been illegally detained by Trump’s ICE agents. They’ve been treated like criminals and had their constitutional rights violated. ICE is completely out of control. projects.propublica.org/american-cit...

How can you help protect the right to vote this midterm season? Our experts break it down.

You don’t even need the context of the statement to laugh at this.

Seven-month-old Theodore “Teddy” Fritz Harding made his first visit to #WSU, joining his grandfather at the September 26, 2026, home football game against Arizona. Says grandpa Jeff Holy (’83 Psych.), “Teddy’s visit to WSU won’t be his last one, as his family holds a few generations of Cougars.”

Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings urges Washington voters to keep million dollar earners tax in NO on 645’s newest television spot The beloved quiz show host is putting voters’ knowledge to the test in a new ad highlighting 645’s tax giveaway to the wealthy and the loss of funding it would cause to the…

The October morning sun is out and today is a great day to vote! One of the easiest calls on my whole ballot? NO on I-645 – NO cuts to education, NO cuts to health care, and NO tax cut for the top 1%. @no645.bsky.social

P1: Where you going? P2: Tacoma P1: Oh it’s so beautiful there but what are you going to eat? P2: Parky’s Pizza. P1: I’ve never hunted before, is that a local bird or deer? P2: What? P1: What?

The federal government is nothing but a weapon the oligarchy wields against the people. The time has come for peaceful dismantle. Regionally divide the nation and let the people have more direct control over their government. The time is now. #Pacifica #Cascadia

@gluesenkampperez.house.gov does not deserve your vote. She is a conservative Texan masquerading as a moderate Washingtonian and it is very clear she has no intent to help our state or our country.

This is devastating. There are only 74 Southern Resident Killer Whales left and they rely on endangered Chinook salmon for survival. I'm fighting to urgently invest in salmon recovery and to create a better ecosystem so that we can help support these orcas' survival.

The governor then ran away screaming “I solved it!” as he giggled with unfettered joy.

I'll concede San Diego is a touch too staid to make this list, but friends? Seattle is going to be bananas, no?

Can any of these AI leaders give a straightforward answer about the future of jobs?

How I arrived on BlueSky:

Ready to leave yet? #Cascadia

The time has come for the west to leave. Pacifica is our future. #Pacifica #Cascadia Down with the Mad King Trump!!

This. 1000% this.

How many other progressive policies did you sink when you ran on fixing this issue and now you post anti union garbage like this??? Fix it Bob or find a new job.

Stabs this whole interview with a copy of The Caliban and The Witch.

Whenever I start to think the east coast might have some cool states some BS law like this surfaces.

Why, despite everything that's happening, am I still hopeful about America? Here's what I told Michael Lewis.

Can't recall ever seeing anything quite like this during a Congressional hearing. And I've been in and around politics for 50 years.

Most of us experience occasional nightmares, waking up after dreams of being chased, confronting intruders, or other scenarios that leave us feeling scared or anxious. But trauma can supercharge nightmares. magazine.wsu.edu/2026/08/04/t... #WSU #GoCougs

Amen, Tressie. For me, if I can’t easily see how incorporating new tech into my life will help, then I don’t use it. It’s not my job to find a reason to use new tech. Tech either solves an existing issue I have or I don’t need it.

In March, Washington State passed a tax on millionaires to fund public education, childcare, and expand its earned income tax credit. Now, special interest groups backed by the rich are trying to trick voters into repealing the tax by claiming it will apply to non-millionaires. Don't fall for it.

I’d like to congratulate Central Washington University for being the only team (above high school level) in Washington State that won a football game this weekend. #Ouch

This is all i want.
