@ricoque-opcd.bsky.social Q10: you have attended and co-paneled many private events with neighborhood community councils, and even this event on “How the One Seattle Plan Impacts Historical Neighborhoods”.
How many events have you attended on “How the One Seattle Plan Impacts Seattle Renters”?
@ricoque-opcd.bsky.social Q7: on 2/5/25, you and Hubner reported that even after 1500+ comp plan feedback comments, you decided to "intentionally reach out to community councils" to "enhance outreach". Why are community council voices considered "enhanced" over our voices? bsky.app/profile/qagg...
Comparison between FEIS Alternative 5, where additional "Corridor" place type blobs were clearly visible near entrances to Carkeek, Magnuson, Discovery, Seward, and more. Yet they are completely gone without a trace in 2026 Corridors legislation. Additional caption on the figure read: "Why did you eliminate more housing near large parks? Do renters not deserve to live near parks?"
Final EIS January 2025, section 1-7 Place Types definitions Corridors are areas near frequent transit ***and large parks*** that allow a wide range of housing types in areas currently zoned primarily for detached homes (within a 10-minute walk from a light rail station and a five- minute walk from frequent bus transit service and ***entrances to large parks***). Corridors also include areas already zoned for multifamily and commercial use and could have small increases in height.
@ricoque-opcd.bsky.social Q5: In all Environmental Impact Statements, you define Corridors as "areas near frequent transit AND LARGE PARKS". Yet dense housing near large parks were all eliminated from your plan.
Do you think renters of affordable & social housing do not deserve to live near parks?
@ricoque-opcd.bsky.social Q4: on 07/21/22, sr. staff Patrice Carroll claimed that highrises are “only appropriate” in UDist and downtown, and “there is no interest” to build them around 130th/148th stations.
Can you provide data used to support this? If not, why do your staff spread misinformation?
@ricoque-opcd.bsky.social Q1: In Mar 2024 you said "one of the goals... is to provide density... and to do that surgically". youtu.be/f1G3Yr5A0FM?...
Your plan has crammed renters & dense housing solely onto polluted streets. Is this the outcome you intended when you said "surgically"? If so, why?
Oh fun! Rico Quirindongo, the director of @seattleopcd.bsky.social followed me!
Director @ricoque-opcd.bsky.social: I don't know if you'll reply, but I will ask you ONE QUESTION A DAY until YOUR planning dept stops putting affordable & social housing ONLY on hazardous, polluted, and noisy roads.

i bet this shit sounds magical if you're fucking stupid
It's like counting lung cancer cases per smoker.
"Our poisonings per attempted poisonings rate is EXTREMELY REASONABLE"
I WISH Sue were taking commissions!!
These are SO GOOD
A color day photo showing the actual dogs belonging to one of my kids. Both are rescues, the one on the right is a foster fail, contrary to her facial expression she is not perpetually worried but a very happy doggo.
A water color painting of the two previous dogs. Please bear in mind I have never painted dogs before and likely never will again.
A water color painting of my other kiddos doggos. They are actually both Australian cattle dogs, I realize the one on the right looks like it's missing several chromosomes.
The actual dogs that I was painting, they are fantastic doggos.
I am not an artist, don't let these paintings fool you.
For family birthdays we all paint together (2 in fam are actual artists) like the paint with a twist places, we have varying results but oh, so much fun.
I decided to paint my kids dogs for their birthday cards this year...
You're welcome.
🤣

I have worked my entire life to learn how to write well, trying to get better all the time. I love sharing my work with the world. I'm proud of my work & myself. Tech industry: "We're just going to TAKE all that at will & not even tell you, gonna put it into our dummy LLMs, cry more u dumb poor lol"
“Social murder” is a term created by Friedrich Engels to describe the premature death of marginalized people due to political, social, or economic oppression.
What is happening right now in America is the premeditated, calculated, & planned extermination of children who are trans. This is genocide.
What she said and also the whole thread.
THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON THIS AND SUPPORTED IT
It strikes me that the Democratic speeches were based on joy, hope, and a bright vision for the future of our state. Republican speeches are very...bleak. I believe in this state and what it can do, that's why I want it to have the resources to unlock our neighbors' potential. #waleg
This is one reason why everyone with a bar license should be lining up to do pro bono habeas petitions for detainees right now.
I know so many people who are doing this. A few hours of training and you will save lives and families.
Jerks: AI might have consciousness
Me: Don’t think so
Cybertruck: I AM AN ABOMINATION… PLEASE LET ME DIE…
The machine god is screeching at us "you are wrong to have made me" in the only language it knows, and we refuse to listen
not a democracy
this would fix us
Who the fuck is demonizing homeowners? It's landlords we hate
Stuff like this is just designed to further normalize gAI use to write; to numb us to criticism; to humanize LLMs and dehumanize actual authors and artists: I detest this kind of bs
A+
Imagine being so entitled that you get offended by not being able to bring dirt through someone else’s home
FYI the 1970s oil crisis was the impetus for Copenhagen turning into a cycling city
Photo of four lichens growing flat on grey rock. A yellow lichen is growing in a diagonal line across the photo. A dark grey oval lichen is growing along the yellow line as is a larger, round, off white lichen. A small amount of brown lichen is at the right side end of the line of yellow lichen.
Crustose lichen mix: Candelariella (yellow), Rhizocarpon (dark grey) Dimelaena (off white) and Acarospora (brown). Photo covers about 6cm, left to right. NWT, Canada. #lichen #fungi #fungifriends
