“If Iran’s national soccer team can pass an extensive security background check ensuring it consists of no players who are as fearsome as the 165 elementary school children we had to blow up with a Tomahawk missile last week, we may be able to work something out.”

The Iran/Egypt match up in Seattle will be one for the books as the half the Iranian team couldn't flee the country, Egypt's team was detained by ICE and nobody could afford to buy a ticket!

Lol I missed this one. We live just downhill from Swansons. When I was in the depths of exclusive caregiving for my kids (before they started school) we went at least once a week. Snacks at the cafe, boop some koi, pick up a plant or two.

Even on a world filled with moronic ideas, opening a McDonald’s 500 feet from the Capitol Hill Dick’s stands out as a fucking Whopper ( pun intended.)

We went to Hopscotch in Portland which had a ball pit, and they were in love. The kids wanted more ball pits in Seattle, but uh, not like this!

The one thing I was most surprised to discover in writing a gay BDSM romance novel was that there does not seem to have ever been, in real life, an actual gay bar called The Ball Pit.

Just offering this observation apropos of nothing.

So, I knew instantly which art museum this picture was taken, because I'm currently putting up their poster right now 🤦🏻‍♀️

In similar news, a new employee at MoPOP realized during orientation they had definitely been thinking of MOHAI when they applied.

The earthquake tried to send a temblor down Highway 9 to avoid I-5 but that route was even more fucked.

Every word of this is accurate: "In October of 2021, they claimed an R.V. encampment on Harbor Avenue was spreading vampirism and that the only remedy was to put them all on a gondola to the Space Needle,"

I don’t know what mysterious spark Frankenformed into @theneedling.com when it got sprayed off the gum wall, but I am glad it attained sentience and decided to haunt us. This magnificent many-headed monster has a Venmo and a patreon: love it with me.

Interestingly, in recent months for my work at UW, I've been perusing West Seattle Blog comment threads.
