Swears on the Internet, sometimes. Mostly at horsesass.org these days (he/him).
The upgraded Elliott Bay Park is really killing it. So few places in the city that are so completely car free.
Gordon Parks Ferry boat from Staten Island to Manhattan. I love a crowd shot, and something about the hats.
"Huh, what's going on here? Hope it's something to prevent illegal right turns." An SUV makes an illegal right turn while I'm waiting for the light.
Big question when watering the office plants: How did a staple get into the spider plant?
I'm a little worried about saying something for fear that it gets too crowded, but the Ship Canal Trail is criminally under used a beautiful day like today.
March is still as gray as it's been since October, but the flowers are a real boost.
A lot of things say Spring is coming in Western Washington. There are more showey things the osoberry bushes coming alive, but they really are telling you it's close.
First cheery blossoms of the season. Feels early, but I will take it.
Reading a podcast's book is a bit cliche, but @partialhistorians.bsky.social book is great.
Went to one in Tacoma yesterday. One thing I noticed compared to similar protests in Seattle and suburban Seattle is how many police there were.
Really feeling it getting close (first time I noticed; Maybe it's been around for a bit).
