Unnerved by the steady increase of Texas plates in WA. The ones that have severely tinted plate covers and nearly opaque windows? How is this legal?

I woke up feeling like a failure today.

Seeing how on track my peers are, feeling like I’m impossibly far behind, knowing I could have done more to stay on track.

Trying to not be too negative, but also letting myself feel what I need to. I don’t know, I just feel lost.

Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program.

Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program.

A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.

The bar is in hell

The world needs Cheaper by the Dozen 3

Starring Steve Martin, Bonnie Hunt, Eugene Levy, Hillary Duff - okay basically the entire original cast.

I need that comfort. Let’s put a team together, come up with a plot, just make this happen for me

Hey Seattle commuters who use King Street Station, what was going on today around 7:30-7:50am? Saw a large police presence by the train but couldn’t see much more.

Recording conduct of ICE agents is deeply helpful, as we saw this weekend in the face of the lies that came from federal officials. I see people doing their part to stand up for fellow residents.

Everybody has a role right now in defending democracy.

And how will this be enforced?

Hard to think about football considering the fact that my neighbors, who live allllll around the stadium (home of the hawks), are beyond terrified on a daily basis but whatever

I’m used to seeing them escort the boat, was just a little shocked to see I believe 5-6 armed personnel on board. I was just reading that apparently this is routine and they’re trying to increase security. Considering asking them since they’re here!

I’m just curious… why is the US Coast Guard on the Seattle/Bremerton ferry this morning? I’ve just never seen them watching people board before!

Im tired of waking up so sad

Did everyone and their uncle just move to Seattle from Arkansas, Texas, and North Carolina???? Never seen this many out of state plates on a regular basis before.

The only umbrellas I’ve ever had have been:

- A little yellow one as a toddler
- a ladybug one as a child
- a blue one with Walmart smiley faces all over it when I was 10???? (Was a little too obsessed with the old Walmart stickers as a kid)

Good morning Seattle! Are we swimming yet? Anyone else caving and buying an umbrella this week?

Do NOT side eye me when I buy my first ever adult umbrella.

Why are king county sheriffs driving around with the Texas state flag on their cars??? Do they not serve WA and its residents?

Seattle Now!!! No news roundup next week??? What gives?!

Dear Men:

Almost all of you are friendly with and/or work with men like this.

Until you make it clear WITH YOUR WORDS AND ACTIONS IN SOCIAL SITUATIONS WITH OTHER MEN that you are unwilling to accept this, it will continue to happen frequently.

End your participation in this.

I literally haven’t been able to find anything. I came to Bluesky now for the same reason lol

Seattle!!!

What’s your morning routine? What do you need every morning to feel like you’re ready for the rain, clouds, and the big dark?

Oh Seattle Now, thank you for being a part of my daily routine. My morning coffee and evening drive home would be incomplete without you.

Thank you to whoever painted a big heart over the swastika outside my apartment. A man put that up above his tent and then eventually left and I’ve had to stare at it and the words “Nazi Pride” every morning sick to my stomach. Seattle has Nazi’s even on the street (he verbally confirmed he is one)

Got that depression, anxiety, and rumination combo that makes the brain go zip zap zop and leaves me dehydrated and malnourished. I love October!

This kind of unity is what they fear. If Portland is “war torn” the war they are referring to is happening in the hearts and minds of every individual who sees through their attempts to divide, oppress and subjugate. If that is the case, then there is a war. We are winning it. #portland #solidarity

Seattle deserves real action, not embellishment. I am running to bring real solutions to our homelessness crisis — not fudge the numbers. #thisisyourcity

Raleigh homers, Polanco drives in 2 runs and Mariners beat Blue Jays 3-1 in ALCS opener TORONTO (AP) — Bryce Miller overcame a shaky first inning and gave the tired Seattle Mariners the start they needed in the AL Championship Series opener.

Grateful to have a fiancé who makes sure I’m safe. Confusing sometimes to have someone care like this

Love that the mariners won, but I’m fucking PISSED that every fucking entrance to get to my apartment is blocked by SPD. Like they’ve completely shut down the turns. It’s 11 pm and I got off work an hour ago
