Hot tip: The electorate doesn’t like politicians because they retroactively change positions to last year’s dementia grandma Facebook meme.

They like people who proactively take stands. That’s what people mean by strength.

It’s almost irrelevant what you’re talking about. Nobody likes a worm.

I pre-ordered it and it came last week even though it technically isn't out yet. My partner is reading it and she loves it (I'll read it when she's done).

“Voters have spoken...We have the power to stand up to the oligarchs and corporations who don’t want to pay a dollar more in taxes to solve the housing crisis affecting the community that foster their success.”

Hey Washington state, if you haven't voted, do so today! It's just 3 things on my ballot anyway (yes on both levies for schools and choose prop 1A if you're here in King County.)

Endorsement: Vote YES on Prop 1A to fund social housing in Seattle – Seattle Bike Blog Image from the Let's Build Social Housing campaign website. I am beyond tired of people acknowledging that Seattle needs more affordable housing and then not doing anything about it. Seattle voters ha...

Today is a beautiful day to vote for social housing in Seattle! Vote YES and 1A! Ballots are due Tuesday. You won’t get as many reminders as you did in November. www.seattlebikeblog.com/2025/01/24/e...

Yes! I wouldn't be surprised if it WAS an answering machine from 1988.

Yep I call every day, but today all the voicemail boxes were full, so I sent emails since there was nowhere else to leave my advocacy. Keep up the good work Washingtonians.

5 Calls Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

Have you called your reps today? Mine had full voicemail boxes, so I emailed them. Regardless, this site makes it easy and gives you a script 5calls.org

"We have to allow this [org/shelter/hospital/school] to erase the trans community and comply to save everyone else"

Absolutely not.

I will not allow my community to be jettisoned to save yourself. Yes, if you don't, other groups may suffer, and you might too.

But we are all in this together.

If you’re in the US and you’d like to know what projects and vital services federal grants currently fund in your state, you can search here: www.usaspending.gov

And you can find the contact information for your elected representatives here: www.usa.gov/elected-offi...

They need to hear from you.

Transgender issues aren’t “a distraction.”

They are the main event for the GOP.

They hate us enough to hurt everyone.

Don't subscribe to the Seattle Times even though they email me 300 times a day, but I did LITERALLY call her office 5 minutes ago about this (and protecting trans people). Call your senators www.senate.gov/senators/sen... I also called my rep and state governor.

One of the big ways you can tell Christmas isn’t a secular holiday for all religions is that it’s called Christmas

Girl Scout camp registration for my kid is the single most stressful 5 minutes of my year, it's like I a need a shot of vodka just to calm down afterwards.
