Prediction: Past middle-age dudes in leather jackets are done.

As you will find, it is purpose
-built for propaganda. You may know police officers you've appreciated and you trust. This poll is built to make you soften your take on policing in Seattle based on your sympathy for those individuals.

Do your best.
F with it.

Every year a Seattle U prof runs a survey to help the Seattle is Dying crowd push more spending on cops, homeless sweeps, and all that good stuff.

Please take a few minutes and fill it out as well as you can.

Share it to your Seattle people!

You might not know how bizarre a book is the full version of Moby Dick.

Man. Any lingering goodwill I might have had for Ron Davis is so gone.

Take 'em all down.

Voting is an awesome thing to report here because nobody can discover who I am here and have any basis or reason to mess with my life.

The other stuff?
Eh.

... and then I went back to doing some of the other stuff I do to try and move the GD needle.

Five minutes to #MMX launch!!

If you live in #Seattle and want to know how things happen politically, you should push money to PubliCola (@ericacbarnett.bsky.social) and, of course, read it.

Notes:
- Riordan was tried and did not click.
- There are many lists posted but all the ones I've found are for adults or young adults moving away from Potter. I'm looking for an alternative for a very early reader reading with the help of their parent.
- We are seeing my brother's family in late December.

#Books question:
My brother (in Berlin) is reading his daughter into the Potter-verse.

Ugh.

I want to propose an alternative. It should be something that is as magnetic as the Potter books (and if you don't get or agree with that, please refrain) but without contributing to a trans-hating horror's media empire. I want something that can out-compete Rowling in the contest for an 8 yr old US/Polish/German girl's heart.

If #Seattle took music seriously there would be a Greek restaurant called "Space Station".

#Music!!

I'm imagining walking into a group of Proud Boys and such holding the book before me ranting "The Power of hooks compels you!!" ..
watching them avert their eyes, suddenly dropping their batons, shedding their tactical gear, slowly straightening, and walking off to seek the nearest willing trans femme to assist.

We don't have a pepper shaker

.. because we like grinding.

Am I doing this right @adhdeanasl?
