For anyone who’s unfamiliar, it’s worth noting that the next Bandcamp Friday (where Bandcamp waives its revenue share) is in two days, so now’s the perfect time to cancel your Spotify subscription and put that money toward buying actual music from actual artists!

I hope you're right would like the announcements to be in an order that doesn't create holes, even in the off-season

ICE looks to WA tribes to house detained immigrants The Nisqually Indian Tribe says it is turning down a request from ICE to house detained immigrants on tribal land.

The definition of audacity: ICE asking WA tribes to host detention centers.

They got a very polite β€œfuck off.”

β€œThe Nisqually people are not in favor of, nor will the tribal council allow, the detention of individuals by ICE on our reservation or in our facilities.” - Tribal Chair E.K. Choke

I wish Seattle Children's were better about gender affirming care, but donating to Extra Life and I'll match my donations here with one to Trans Lifeline. They're all good kids. translifeline.org

Mine was an incredibly clean break. The X-ray showed the shear line and it just displaced perfectly.

Still do not recommend.

I broke my pinky in a @weareecs.bsky.social FC match once. Called my bench to bring me tape, wrapped it up, and played 20 minutes before the ref figured it out and forced me out of the game. You got this Andrew!

hopefully it's only a matter of time until people put their phones down and directly interrupt these kidnappings & forced disappearances. But as many cases of history have shown - this has not been the case in response to public state terror (Argentina in the 70s being one example)

Illegal food stands surge in Snohomish County Unpermitted vendors are undercutting legitimate businesses while posing serious health risks, with complaints in Snohomish County up fivefold this year.

Snohomish county has shutdown 24 this year for the same reason. We have loved our local ones, but the most recent stopped showing up a couple weeks ago. 😭😭

I would bet the 163 complaints about them were from a total of less than 10 people.

It sucks to not be able to watch your local football team just because you won't give money to whichever evil megacorp bought up the streaming rights. Football is for the people and the community.

Scrolling election results and learning that a coworker was running for and may have won a city council seat in the city we work is weird. I'm sure there are company rules against campaigning in the workplace but I had 0 idea he was even involved in politics?!?

Mutual aid should be a threat to the state, not a substitute for its β€œfailures.” It is saying β€œthe state does not do this & will not do this because it is built to oppress & exploit.” Mutual aid is a radical act of caring for each other outside of those systems of oppression.
