The Seattle library levy is on track to pass with 80% voting yes. The Seattle Times came out against it and was resoundingly ignored. Seattle voters want nice things and are willing to pay for them.
So far, voters overwhelmingly approve Seattle library levy
A property tax levy to fund the city's public library system over the next seven years is solidly ahead after the first release of vote totals Tuesday evening.

Support trans workers at the University of Washington Google form to express interest: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... 2023 Equity Survey Report: 75% of transgender people surveyed reported experiencing harassment at University of Washington. uw-s3-cdn.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/wp-content/u...
![Support Trans Workers!
Postdocs and research staff at the University of Washington are bargaining for a new contract this summer. To address the worsening conditions for transgender people across the country, we proposed a memorandum of understanding to:
Improve data privacy for anyone (regardless of identity) changing their name, and to wave their ID card replacement fee
Provide sensitivity training for supervisors of trans workers, to prevent harassment. The equity survey jointly administered by UW and UAW 4121 shows that transgender people at UW are harassed 3x more than cisgender people [1].
Secure a fund to support costs of gender transition.
Admin has rejected our proposal twice now, each time citing concerns we’ve already addressed. When pressed to explain his reservations, admin’s lead negotiator said: “I am not speaking in terms of facts.” “I haven’t been advised or done any research.” How are we supposed to work with that?
University of Washington admin pride themselves on being part of a trans friendly institution. At the ceremonial pride flag raising, they honored the recently murdered trans girl and UW student Juniper Blessing with a new scholarship [2]. But when asked to simply waive the costs of replacing an ID card for anyone, cis or trans, who changes their name, they moan that we’re asking for “special treatment” and fear-monger about the federal government. How do admin really feel about the queer community? Seattle is a sanctuary city for many trans people fleeing violence from across the country. What precedent does it set if the largest employer in the city refuses to bargain over basic protections?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ec473dzaukltzxnvcjmgwrw6/bafkreihs2ufyolayp2nm66ctspmkv6haqvqiq3alrtw6gipqbdztnkl3he)

If more Americans had union experience, it would be a lot harder to sell the “preemptively meet in the middle” strategy that we’re constantly told is the effective and respectable way to engage in politics.
M. Nolan Gray 🥑@mnolangray.bsky.social · 9h agoSome things I've learned about legislative advocacy, and I think my record speaks for itself. 1. Start by asking for everything you want. Stop preemptively negotiating against yourself. The process of passing the bill will whittle it down. Why started with a whittled down product?
wow, i was not expecting to be blocked by @kenjennings.bsky.social over this. We’ve previously interacted in friendly ways, so i reached out in good faith & not trying to drag him. I was giving the benefit of the doubt that maybe his transphobic behavior was unintended. really disappointing.
thinking about all of the “Daddy’s home” stuff for Trump 47, for a lot of the core Republican electorate, beating your wife and threatening her life, being a terror to your own children, is a feature not a bug they like the promise of getting to be the tyrant of your home with servants and subjects

I cannot emphasize how much of a non-issue this is. I use the women's. Doctors ask when my last period was. Airport security looks back up at me when I hand them my passport. I have navigated life smoothly as a woman for years, and I am only endangered by the ideological fixations on denying that.

honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.

Anyways, if you're wondering why I'm looking at SPS middle school boundaries and housing, it's because of this: the three middle school zones experiencing growth of any sort for SPS K-8 grades (versus extremely slow decline) are Aki Kurose, Mercer, and Washington middle school attendance areas.

Not more complex than: he was one of the special people who have Freedom Plus to do and say whatever they want without any limitations set by the public, who need to be watched like hawks and harshly punished, the second they step out of line or get any ideas about how things should be organised.

notice how he characterizes her actions as contempt but doesnt say she was held in contempt, meaning he either didn't file, or he filed and got shot down.

Smoke has arrived in Seattle, but the other side of the Cascades is absolutely brutal. Wenatchee and other towns (e.g., Plain, Entiat) have been over 1,000 AQI today. Please use air purifiers, N95 masks, and avoid being outdoors if you’re able - there is no safe level of wildfire smoke exposure.
