Public Comment with Seattle City Council was wild today. Some dude used the n word (hard R) and then proceeded to call himself "the most talented poet in Seattle"

Blue Angels in Seattle today. Nothing I love more than a brown sky and all of my neighbors' car alarms going off. #seattle
"It has always struck me that the people who lead their lives in response to the prospective shame offered readily by their communities under the pall of What Will People Say? have always known exactly what people will say. The question for our lives should be What Say Do People Have?" – Sonora Jha
"If you were a boy, you could accomplish a lot ... What a shame!" – Gish Jen This one hit me right in the generational trauma. #booksky
Heard at the wine tasting: "Like chewing on a yard hose" "Smells like a YMCA pool" "Like sucking on a coin" We liked it! 🙂
The truth is, the impacts of I-638 won't just be felt by trans girls, but by every girl in our state who wants to play K-12 sports. It would require girls to undergo invasive genital exams to prove their sex, just to play sports with their friends. Vote NO on I-638 this November. #NoHateWAState
tax the rich but also make each of them walk down a runway where they get an extra tax if i think their outfit is ugly

"Overall, hierarchies in the status of human are a key part of what racialized gender binarism contributes to sport: whose body is respected; whose pleasures or grieving matters; whose participation and identities are supported, encouraged, and rewarded." – Erica Rand #figureskating #scotus #sports
Jersey Shore (2009) is a microcosm of patriarchy and heteronormativity, pushed to its extremes.

I'd never heard someone describe the perverse connection I still feel to my abuser until @jamesissmiling.bsky.social: "I'm meeting my other half, again. The other half of every therapy session, every nightmare, every tear-stricken moment of attempted intimacy with a man for the last 5 years."
UNPOPULAR OPINION; Children deserve to eat and I do not care if my taxes go towards buying them food.

Hilarious job application options. FYI one individual person cannot be diverse. (Or maybe the fact that I use they/them pronouns means I'm multiple people?)
