Replying to @jtp.bsky.social

when they say shit like "you have to be practical and understand that the average voter is transphobic" they are talking about themselves

Update: I was wrong, there will be a special council meeting on Monday to approve Saka's traffic safety bill and Bob Kettle will be putting forward an amendment to strip out the historic district provisions. Someone tipped off the preservation folks about this so they had more time to organize.

There is no meeting next week on this, and the amendment has already been approved, but sure.

additional housing, a peculiar desire that ought to be justified. thanks for the clarity, world champion member of the Board of Arbitrary Whims

Lora-Ellen McKinney asks a similar question about why they settled on the number of units. Clark says if they could they would do 200 units (it has 185), which prompts her to ask "why?" These exchanges say a lot more about the landmarks board than this project specifically tbh.

Dang these are some of my fav typa projects. Preserve the character of the old building while still using land more efficiently, just a win win Hard to imagine dedicating so much of my life to yelling in meetings just to ultimately achieve making the building 10% uglier / worse for it's inhabitants

I'm currently tuned into the Seattle Landmarks Board for a briefing on potential changes to the Doyle Building that would allow this 18 story mass-timber addition. A ton of people are signed up to comment on the proposal.

Anytime this guy is mentioned, remember that his company makes and sells ecoblocks to other businesses on the cheap (~$20/each) to illegally put in the right of way to displace homeless people. He's also responsible for the last 30 years of preventing the missing link of the Burke-Gilman trail.

Another longtime business guy, Eugene Wasserman, praises Strauss for addressing the RVs he has seen in Ballard for years, and says they could fund more shelter to help. "A really creative approach to this problem."

Got my electrolysis consultation tomorrow. Excited, but this is the first time I've been out in public while this unshaven in ages. Unpleasant. Next time I'll be sticking with my initial idea, schedule the appointment after a couple days hiding in the woods so nobody sees me. Like Bigfoot.

My parents and I have had some rough patches but I am always thankful for how supportive they have been of me, just in general, but of course also including my queerness, even if they don't always get it lol. Even in Seattle I know people who have been disowned after coming out.

Hell this even happens with DnD. Start off with a fairly straightforward archetype and the complexity emerges as you play. I see the insecurities of my grumpy old elf becoming clearer with every roll

I've had this with writing, even with essays. I don't fully know what I'm saying when I start, or at least don't fully know what it will all mean when brought together. Somewhere along the way I find "it", the center of gravity of the whole thing, and my trajectory and destination becomes clearer.

Idk they probably asked this before and just changed the wording but even for getting my flu shot yesterday they asked for my sex assigned at birth, required question. Just asking Sex isn't good enough to out all the trans patients and make sure we're not engaging in risky vaccine behavior 🙄

Charlotte@fireantprincess.bsky.social

it is of course transphobic bigotry but it should be pointed out that the lie “people need the right healthcare for their biological sex” kills trans people. trans women get breast cancer at far higher rates than cis men. trans men get prostate cancer. hrt changes your sex.

Related, "biological sex" has been creeping into the lexicon of even well meaning people. It is a silly term. even if it weren't, as this 🧵 demonstrates, it's worse than useless to get at the medical needs, risks, and nuances of trans patients. HRT is only one of many parts of trans healthcare.

Saka is shouting and shouting, accusing the mayor's office of disinvesting in an unrelated encampment sweeps team. "It might be a political bone to throw at your democratic socialist base, but it does our communities harm!" He's talking about putting the sweeps teams back in human services.

325gb of art and material that artists and animators weren't allowed to use in portfolios to keep themselves fed.

⚠️ A massive leak containing model sheets, puppet rigs, storyboards, and other materials from Cartoon Network shows have been spread on the internet. Fans are speculating that the Skydance merger (as Paramount’s content is very notorious of getting leaked) was the cause.

The next Democratic president should appoint 700 Supreme Court justices, and during their first session, without warning, they should all swarm Bret Kavanaugh and eat him.

A crowd of people stopped an immigration raid in Oswego, NY, where two men sought refuge on a roof to avoid CBP. No thanks to local police and fire who tried to put a ladder up to the roof, possibly in violation of state sanctuary laws.

Hoo boy. I take my role as a cycle knight seriously, and try to protect people from danger-passes by cars on a particular dodgy road. Despite my efforts a driver was STILL playing with fire. Fire being a big ass truck that could smear me across the pavement without him so much as noticing.

Bruh. After all that, the indexing isn't quite right and I'm clicking all over town. I really don't want to have to add that to my long list of errands tomorrow but I'm gonna have to bring it back in I think.

Omg. Cyclists how much you paying for (ebike) tuneups these days? Idk if I've never gotten the full checkup before now, and im also getting a new chain and cassette installed, but this is probably double anything I've ever paid before. Inflation or what?
