Climate/water scientist💧🌊 People = Good. Billionaires = Bad. Eat mango dessert, mask up, land back, save the salmon, imprison no one and house everyone. She/her. Views own
Significant other organized our reusable bags and kitchen towels. They were stuffed in there before. Epic. Man of my dreams
Holy climate change, Batman. Saw this fluffy juvenile bird in Renton today. I couldn’t ID it and was like it’s like a stellar jay…but it’s kinda off?? Had to ask friends and they said it’s a California scrub jay 😮😮😮 it def is. In RENTON. Climate is changing FAST, friends.
My mom, unprompted lol This is someone who lives in car dependent suburbia. Poor mom
I NEVER say this about ANY dim sum in Seattle but this pork steamed bun was bomb. Perfect texture fluffy bouncy bread, light ferment flavor, not too sweet. Meat was fresh & fragment, not over seasoned like most places. SLU Saturday market and they said in Kent, too. Maybe brick & mortar soon. $5
Made this professional grade guide to explain who should use lefty cheat sheet. If you find yourself a hater of it, it means it’s not for u lol like hello ppl, it’s not supposed to replace fuse. Why would it lol Hmm I prob could’ve made it more legible but I did it in 1 min. Next time lol
Worse now. 400s in Baltimore and 300s in Philly. I can’t take this. I keep crying
This is fucking apocalyptic. On top of the 90 and 100 degree temperatures. Holy fuck. We need to destroy climate change RIGHT NOW. I’m devastated thinking of the people affected by this
I always stay at the back bc I feel that at any moment, a racism or something may be performed against me and I need to be able to escape easily. But again emphasizing how scary many of the ppl who show up to these D5 events are lol of course u also have the best white ppl too obvi
Do u support stronger protections for the tree canopy during construction? All yess except Dimitri had yes and no. Everyone was booing him and someone said “such a politician” lol I hate it here
Do u support mayor Wilson taller denser faster? All yes except Julie refused to answer LOL she just shook her head??? Bro Gtfo lol
Do u support more police cctv? Silas and Nilu no. Julie and Dimitri yes
I recently realized ppl really like wildlife pics and videos lol duh. We have a LOT but usually only share in group chats. Will try to remember to post them from now on. Here is union bay beaver from a few days ago
Here’s proof. 🤣 I was also a WA scholar which I was like ok sure at the time. But apparently they only chose 147 seniors in all of WA state each yr for that. 😮I think if my parents weren’t so chill I’d have thought it a bigger deal. Whether I did bad or good stuff, they were like ok 👍 lol
I’ve worked on my parents to downsize for a long time and they’re finally getting ready. So they gave me like 1 hr to clear out (almost) EVERYTHING from my childhood lol “I need to use the table all your stuff is on TOMORROW”
Also wanted to remind you guys of this pres from the Office of Housing: youtu.be/JgfDX4TSWh0?... “We’ve looked at the…zoning…for the types of projects we build which are typically mid rise. We estimate we can build mid rise affordable housing in about 3% of the city. Zoning really matters.” 😬
And btw here’s how easy it is to get here from downtown!! You have multiple options even, including a 1 seat ride! The zoning around magnolia playfield should be HIGH RISES LOL but ppl in magnolia want u to think it’s impossible to get there and they have NO services!
Every single time I’ve been to magnolia playfield (weekend, weekday, all weather, midday, evening), it’s deserted as hell. We need to upzone the shit out of Magnolia so people can actually take advantage of our public investments. Especially the amazing outdoor pool. This is dystopian honestly
Omg I randomly found these maps I made in my first GIS class in college lol. That prof hated me bc I didn’t know the right way of talking about race and stuff in Philly back then and she didn’t take any shit. Still in awe of her now
OP turned off quote posts but i wanted to say this exists! Meals on wheels, for example! We need way more tho and increased funding! My elderly neighbor who was a very picky foody loved it. He’d save his sheet with the list of meals he could choose from to show me which ones were best. Later in…
Oh I lied. Saw this taro pork floss bagel at the airport and had to try it. Was even better than the matcha mochi pork floss bread bc the bagel texture was nicer and the taro worked better as a filling than the mochi and also it was less sweet
This is James at the Hangzhou city planning exhibit hall lecturing me (I’m illiterate) about how a city should be built such that everyone has a preschool, playground, parklet, elder care, groceries, and convenience stores within a 5 min walk. And this is true for 90% Hangzhouers. Why not us?
Coming home today but it’s sooo hard to leave. The food, grand public works, green space, HSR, metro. Last meal is a pistachio matcha mochi pork floss bread, which I ROFLed at the entire way up the elevator 62 bc it’s literally just smashing my 5 fave things together and calling it a day bahahha
If you’ve never been to mixed pantry on Bell, you need to RUN over there ASAP. Or bike since u can also check out the new protected bike lane down to Elliott Ave! It’s Asian snack heaven. Stuff u will NOT find ANYWHERE else. U WILL spend $100 and u WILL NOT regret it. I need ppl to go so it stays
No idea who this guy is who thinks he can come for Mike Fucking Eliason, but for the haters (weird people), I recommend Mike’s incredible, beautiful, hopeful, and happy book Building for People. (And Mike prob doesn’t want me saying any of this but I like to fight ppl who are wrong so 😘 )
