There’s also something to how women are socialized to be suspicious of flattery — it’s how we transfer responsibility for men’s desire onto women’s bodies; we are taught to defend against that in service to our “innocence” or whatever — whereas men accept flattery as their due. Perfect marks.

We opened a new space in Seattle, and last week was our grand opening event!! Folks visited from all over the area to explore Reuse Commons Lake City, chat with our partners, and share with us about how a reuse, repair, and share hub could benefit them ♻️🫶

Absolutely disgusting that this is legal.

In Mao’s China, officials reporting impossibly high grain yields led to famine as the government taking “surplus” grain starved citizens. The AI equivalent is reporting absurd productivity wins leading to layoffs

They can't stop us from gathering together to speak out!

Amazing rundown of the symbolism and background of the Bad Bunny performance tonight!

The senate needs to do more than ask for briefings. I'm glad someone is calling for accountability.

The main difference between highways and transit is that nobody wants to be anywhere near highways and everyone wants to be as close as possible to transit

at this point AI is the equivalent of your friend eating something disgusting and asking 800 times if you wanna try it

seeing people use AI or not notice AI cadence/style makes me feel like carol from pluribus

If it is true that Patty Murray wants to cave, I urge my Seattle friends and other Washingtonians to call the mom in tennis shoes NOW.

Bike lanes are so convenient 🙄

No Kings March Rally Video: You, all 90,000 of you, were inspired by our No Kings Seattle Rally and March speakers! Share the inspiration and energy of the rally with others. Recorded LIVE STREAM www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmfo... #nokings #nokingseattle #seattle @indivisible.org

The concept of caring enough about your country to show up for free is completely incomprehensible to these people.

The Portland frogs give me hope 🥰

These frogs are heroes!

The Ford Pinto had 27 fire fatalities in 9 years and everyone lost their minds. The Cybertruck has had 5 fire fatalities since it came out less than two years ago, and people are still buying them. They're death traps.

Seattle comrades: If you're interested in doing a bit more to stand up to the erosion of our civil rights, we are expecting a huge crowd for the next No Kings protest, and can really use more volunteers, especially on the safety team! Here's the form to sign up. dash.palform.app/fill/org_0MY...

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Ugh, that's too bad.

Owning a home has let me have stable housing for over 20 years. Everyone should have access to stable housing.

Hey so just fyi, if you're abandoning trans rights you're abandoning all civil rights At that point what the fuck is the point of the democracy you're willing to sacrifice trans people for This actually isn't hard at all, quit making it pretend hard because you finally feel scared too

NIMBYs: “We don’t oppose new housing, just luxury units that aren’t affordable for working people” (Someone proposes an affordable housing project) NIMBYs:

A Trump-Ready Seattle!

I checked a book out of @kcls.org that was added to their collection the week I was born.

people who use AI as a replacement for thinking, learning and communicating should be shamed and punished. the same way we shame and punish drunk drivers, or people who negligently discharge firearms. it is bad to misuse tools in a way that damages society

@theonion.com looks like only the thumbnail of today's Kelly cartoon was published: theonion.com/concentratio...

The thing about neoliberals and right wingers who make their entire politics around “leftists are annoying online” is like… yeah. Some of them are really annoying. But if you put your phone away you stop seeing them. I can’t do the same thing with my boss or my landlord or the cops

An absolutely outstanding book. If you haven't read it, now's your opportunity! It's the future I think we're heading for (if we're lucky).

Becoming an adult is accepting that it’s wrong for the Death Note to be real and yet wishing for it anyway

The Washington Post trying to frame this as anything other than a massive failure is so pathetic. How did the organizers of this parade manage to make the mightiest military in the world look so toothless? Why is the paper who broke the Washington Post amplifying hollow propaganda? Shameful.

Timely perspective and wisdom from Rebecca Solnit. "I believe ardently that nonviolent resistance is ... the most effective strategy, but that doesn't mean it must be polite, placid, or please our opponents, not least because nothing ever will and they'll lie and distort no matter what." 💯

Excited to announce that Pramila Jayapal will be our featured speaker at the Rally before the JUNE 14th - Seattle NO KINGS MARCH. #nokings #DefendDemocracy #FightAuthoritarians #NoFascism

I see we have another G Line fan running for mayor! @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social

And we need volunteers! Sign up here, among other things we need help with setup, breakdown and safety: forms.gle/o8rdyGfSd9Uq...

The mayor’s primary job is to keep people safe, and that means taking action to prevent danger & violence before it starts. A fundamentalist Christian, anti-trans “family values” demonstration never should have been permitted for Cal Anderson, in the heart of Seattle’s historic LGBTQ neighborhood.

Exactly! I keep hearing "wow, the two parties are so polarized, they're just on opposite ends of the political spectrum" NO! They're both beholden to billionaires and nobody is on the side of normal people. The Republicans are just better at convincing people they're on their side.

People can be capable of great kindness.

Won't stop until we make the oligarchs pay. #teslatakedown

Government of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich.

Buying a home next to a well-known nude park (in a city that doesn't ban public nudity), and then getting mad that people are naked in the park, has to be the dumbest unforced error ever.

God forbid the Democrats do *anything at all*. They're really trying to just hide until this goes away, aren't they?

excited about TIME today. it is so nice to end up in place where CHANGE exists. how lucky it is to have a say in the path of existence WHAT AN HONOR. overwhelmed with gratitude that the universe chats with us and negotiates in this way
