Erica C. Barnett@ericacbarnett.bsky.social · 3d agoOh HELL no. @kuow.org people trashing my work and calling me an "influencer" on Week In Review, claiming—with no receipts whatsoever—that Gil Kerlikowske, Carmen Best, and Adrian Diaz also spent a quarter to a third of their time outside Seattle. www.kuow.org/podcast/week...

His CSI-level attention to detail and potent consciousness creates small-scale joy rather than revolutionary enlightenment. Resigned to mastering and enjoying the logic of daily calculations, Anyan’s any-man story of delivery-economy drudgery is quietly mythic.

The algorithm may have a facile grasp of the situation, but the Velvet Underground's "Stephanie Says" and The Turtles' "Elenore" is a solid pairing.
Perhaps the most radical and daring organization in Seattle. The Seattle Zoo: They don't allow dogs at ZooTunes concerts. Thank you Seattle Zoo.

17 Pilgrimages. The concierge wouldn’t let me up, but I was able to channel history outside on Broadway. If you listen closely at the 0:31 mark, you hear a car from the street below honking, making its way into the mix w/ Goodman & Eldridge as they trade solos. www.joshfeitpoetry.com/blog/im-all-...
I imagine Goodman, Chaney, and Schwerner also wouldn’t have been surprised to learn that she lost the race to a man whose presidency at base is all about undoing the civil rights movement and erasing any record of its history. www.joshfeitpoetry.com/blog/im-all-...

He seemed to think I was right there with him as we both hopelessly trailed our respective partners through the store while they remained hyper-focused on their grocery shopping missions. Comic chaos ensued as the two of us connected and disconnected. #poetry
