Earth-kun, the Tokyo Sewerage Bureau mascot, is a globe with a manhole cover hat.

On the H Line! A guy gets on with his guitar.

As a Burien non driver there are so many lights that are timed poorly and ppl turning right or left into me at high speeds that I walk around with this red bag and wave it at traffic at every intersection to make sure people on their phones or speeding see me and stop in time. Wtf King County DOT.

If you’re gonna let your toddler play with hard objects on the floor in an apartment building - Put Down Carpet. It’s not ok to have 8 hours of basically hammering happening above me all the time.

The sea was as a crucible of molten gold, that bubblingly leaps with light and heat.

Thomas Potato’s first ride over Minnehaha Creek:

I can’t stop thinking about the recipe for a Time Machine this 4th grader I worked with yesterday wrote and him whispering to me that we couldn’t show it to anyone cause it would be too dangerous and change the world in not good ways and honestly 4th graders should be able to vote.

Sound Transit should have vetted the people they featured in these photos to make sure they weren't *currently running for public office*. It was unethical of Kang to sign up for this and deceive Sound Transit into showing support for her campaign.

Kang is using this photo on her campaign instagram in a clear attempt to take some form of credit for the station opening. This is all happening right before ballots are mailed out for the general election. www.instagram.com/p/DdwQt0Svxvk/

My brother just sent me a jazz mix playlist and it is so good, when he was a teen he’d send physical mixtapes to me in college. 30 years later he’s still expanding my musical horizons.

Hello All, I’m Laura! Follow me for celebrations of whimsy, musical joy, anger at murderous pedestrian infrastructure, and general muted chaos.

Every day is an insult to non drivers #WeekWithoutDriving

People who only know me as online activist stuff have no idea all the levers I pull quietly cautiously & strategically to try to achieve goals. It’s an art not a science; years of experience give me instincts others don’t - yet I don’t feel mainstream orgs have given me the respect I deserve.

@sound-transit.bsky.social, could someone explain why you put a big photo of District 5 City Council Candidate Julie Kang at the newly opened Pinehurst Station? This is an outrageous use of public resources. This photo needs to be taken down, or at least covered up, until after the election.

Will the news outlets that ran headlines about KCRHA losing $13M (most of which has since been found) be publishing about Seattle Police Department’s unauthorized $13M expenditure?

SPD Overpaid Officers By $13 Million. Now the City Wants It Back. Officers got retroactive paychecks that were as much as $32,000 too high. If the city wants to recover the money, they have to cut a deal with the police union. publicola.com/2026/10/01/s...

Walking to pickup a Buy Nothing item in Burien WA on a road that once had a bus route. 🙃 #WeekWithoutDriving

The lack of real-time data for DART buses operated by Hopelink for King County Metro is that some of our most underserved areas with infrequent transit service can’t know if their bus is coming or not ever. I didn’t realize how awful this was till I had to rely on the 631 in Burien to get around.

Recently I got paid back a loan I did of a large amount of money and I woke up today feeling so light and free. If you owe someone money — please please try to pay them back. It really helps!

The bus stop near city hall in Seattle was removed. This creates barriers for people trying to participate in democratic processes. Do better King County Metro.

King County Metro eliminated a critical bus stop next to the Seattle Municipal Building hampers ppl w/ disabilities access. The stop eliminations were done without consulting the disability community. @seattletru.bsky.social @transpochoices.bsky.social @seattlebikeblog.com @theurbanist.org

Spent two full hours dealing with bills and insurance and setting up accounts and closing other ones —- and I am so angry at how hard it all is.

It's this, btw. 900 square foot modular detention cells.

ICE seeks ‘modular’ detention units for 50 field offices, saying increased arrests have exceeded its space

A request for information seeks ready-made detention, interview and courtroom units, with no limits on how many people the units would hold or for how long.

It's Friday — that means ICE just dropped a new horror.

For 20 years my mom had super itchy inner ears & she tried everything & asked her doctor recently about it again - they tried something else and with 1-2 times using the new drops her itching went away. It’s never too late to advocate for yourself.

Nantucket was her great original—the Tyre of this Carthage;—the place where the first dead American whale was stranded.

Hello Torotonans? torontonians? I’m coming to your city for the first time in December. I’ll be there for 4 nights / days … what should I do? I’m seeing a show at Lee’s Palace one of the nights. Indian food? Theater? Museums? Best boat rides?
