Mentally engaged deckhand. He/him.
relying on friends and family and neighbors to ease burden of childcare costs is something working & middle class families/parents in seattle are quite familiar with.
being an out of touch boomer living in a $4 million dollar home - is not.
If you live in San Francisco, today is a good day to familiarize yourself with the San Francisco Rapid Response Network, which has a 24-hour hotline for reporting ICE raids, actually verifies those raid reports, and does attorney activation: sfilen.org/resources/sf...

ChatGPT’s new Atlas browser doesn’t just see what you read — it remembers it.
@eff.org’s Lena Cohen showed me it even logged “memories” of her looking for *abortion care* and her doctor’s name. Out-surveils even Chrome.

Black and white photo of a two story house and front lawn. Two ladders lay against the front. Full caption at https://www.instagram.com/p/DQGHh3vDabK/?igsh=MWwyenE3ZDYyMmE0MA==
Haunting photo posted by the 40th Ward Instagram. The caption says that the photo represents the remnants of two workers who were taken by ICE today. Chilling.

Four ghost-like figures of varying heights haunt a front lawn. Each has black circles for eyes while a fourth also has a black nose and mouth like a dog. Obviously a dark and terrible tragedy has happened here.
Pitch black Halloween decorations. The spookiness increases. 👻

Picture of Seattle ballot with Katie Wilson filled out for mayor, Erika Evans filled out for City Attorney, Alexis Mercedes Rinck for City Council and Dionne Foster for City Council.
Seattle election ballot with yes filled in for prop 1 and 2, and Sarah Clark, Joe Mizrahzi, Vivian Song and Jen LaVallee filled in for school board.
Seattle Progressives, get your ballots in early so that the @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social campaign doesn't have to use resources reminding you to turn in your ballot when you are already a locked in vote for her and know exactly who you are voting for!

Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent; selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions.

Yeah it’s mostly Ed-tech as resource capture for a ghost product in an over-capitalized market.
It’s also the politics of tech in deeply politicized general assemblies and the encroachment of comp sci + university boards that want to be tech CEOs
As for our colleagues. Sigh.
First I didn’t get raptured and now this. 😞

It's not just ACA price hikes + people losing Medicaid coverage, though that's already bad It's also hundreds of hospitals and nursing homes poised to fall like dominos. Healthcare will be worse for all of us.

A view across Greenlake in Seattle, WA. Water on the lake is glassy and calm. The distant shore has green trees with a cluster where the leaves have started changing to red. There are blue skies with no clouds.
A classic Fall view in a park with the sun illuminating trees that have shed a bunch of their leaves already.
Another gloomy Fall day in Seattle.
