Miles is short for Mai Li, how else are you going to shorten it

US kills 14 in strikes on four alleged drug boats Mexico's navy is searching for the sole survivor of the latest attack on boats the US says were carrying drugs in both the Pacific and Caribbean.

The US just bombed four more boats due to suspected “narco terrorists” on board.

This time they were in the Pacific

14 people have been killed

No trial . No evidence. Just murdered.

Mexico’s Navy is currently searching for one lone survivor.

Hell yeah!

🚨 NEW: 22 states, DC, and 3 governors just filed a legal challenge over a $5 billion “contingency fund” meant to keep SNAP benefits going.

To quote my friend @drkatemarvel.bsky.social, climate change won't make humanity extinct but we can do better than "not extinct". Raise your standards people!

Excellent band names from one of my student's lessons today, talking about her cat and politics:

Meat Apple
Marie Antoinette's Perfumed Goats

Please show me what genres those would be

This is week 1 of Being Aggressively Social Until I Find A New Housemate, Post Yomtoyvim edition - please invite me to your #covidconscious events! No strong leads yet, but hard to put a price on building strong community.

Housemate ad posts below!

2 adults and a kid pose in a photo booth wearing respirator masks. The kid is wearing a black t-shirt with CLEAN AIR EVENTS / GATHER SAFER on the front. Miles is on the right, wearing a black respirator, Maclom X glasses, black and white shirt collar style choker, and a white tee with grey design partially obscured by a black v-neck sweater. Both adults flank the tweenage kid, and are flashing milleneal style peace signs

Proof of life! (Tho RIP my hair 🥴💀)

Covid-safer #LiveMusic is alive & well in #Seattle. So many fab folks in mask chains, #covidcautious musicians, new friends (tho no new housemate leads!) - not bad for an insomnia/Bad Body Day.

@cleanairevents.bsky.social ftw! Looking forward to November's. 🍂✨️🍁

This is lovely! What part of the world is this in?

Millions of Americans are working without pay in Federal and Air Traffic Controller jobs while White House continues construction of 200 Million$ Ballroom during the Government Shutdown. Unbelievable people voted for this illiterate clown 👇

👍🏽 Share this if you want Rep. Adelita Grijalva of Arizon sworn in. Mike Johnson says he'll swear her in whenever she wants. She's wanted to be sworn in since she won her election in a landslide! RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Arrest her?

As long as Donald Trump continues to invade our blue States and blue cities with troops and federal agents, and continues to weaponize the DOJ going after his political opponents — every blue State needs to withhold 100% of federal taxes. The red states would crumble and so would Trump.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

The question remains: will the administration care or change course at all? The path here has been paved with broken court orders

Also carpet cleaners are coming tomorrow morning so there's some stuff that has to be done when they show up, so deadlinessss

I'm not moving, I'm doing cleaning after the moveout / before someone hopefully moves in to take over the other spot on the lease 😅 when half of the folks living there moves out, there can be a lot!

I'm in (post-moveout/pre-movein between housemates) cleaning hell tonight, keeping myself preoccupied with basement-cleaning-inspired bandnames.

Best so far: The Dirty Web, though I'm reconsidering with Scorched Earth Policy

The cat is out of the bag!

Anyone else a little shocked by how many folks you thought were left of center enough to understand Kirk was a Nazi are big mad right now and saying you need to have empathy for him?

Still looking for a #covid-cautious housemate in Seattle! Bonus of doing this now: patio meetup and space tour comes with garden treats.

I needed this today

Running a car ad shoot through the middle of an open streets event the mayor has repeatedly tried to kneecap is peak Bruce Harrell.

This is not the first musician detained by ICE, and it won't be the last. The klezmer scene has seen a number of issues impacting tours this summer, w overseas artists who couldn't get visas. We *need* to be unionizing really hard rn to fight the impacts on our sector, too.

Oh cool! This reminds me of lichens we have here - there's a temperate rainforest. So many lichens growing on top of each other!! It looks a little different, like... bubblier? If you look up liches from the PNW you'll probably see ours look scraggier!

These are so lovely, esp on the ludicrously sticky (read: feels WRONGBAD) day we're having in Seattle. Where were these taken?

So many good reasons to quit Meta platforms... Where are the replacements? What are we doing instead of insta and FB??

I want to leave, and I need to help migrate my own marginalized communities. But I havent seen any of the new similar socials catch on yet.

🤬😵‍💫🫥
