Does it feel like you are seeing "experts" quoted as saying opposing things? #health #news #literacy #sciwri

Someone I've known for 30 years told me recently that their full-time job in publishing pays (lower than city of Seattle poverty line) #publishing #editor

If you want/need an assistant, who creates your power points and fact-checks the links you are sharing, let's do this. (got no grad degree) #naturalist #tour

A cartoon shows a graph. On the vertical axis, it says "Desire to take to the woods." on the horizontal axis it says "Scams masquerading as innovations" and a caption reads: Make some weird little art things with your obsolete humanity, as a treat.

Ahh. The weekend, 🕓 to enjoy the acerbic humor of @thisisindexed.com
Why, yes, I will make weird little things in obsolete ways.
Obsolete is the new pink.

Photo of artist, Ai Wei Wei, with fuck painted on his chest. Photo is hanging in gallery with lighted neon C and K in frame.

Hurry to see @seattleartmuseum.bsky.social exhibit of Ai Wei Wei.
His transgressive rewriting of what is art, and what is rebellion is fantastic. New audio (with him talking about his own work) is delightful. #art #modern #immigrant #rebellion

I was a at safety-net hospital today and the NP told me that their outpatient clinic no-shows has sky-rocketed because of ICE. And as a result, sicker patients are showing up the ER close to death's door. This just makes me so sad. #medsky

I'll ask the folks at Burke about sharing to TEAMS. It isn't my call. But great idea.

A five-armed sea star clings to a black mussel shell beaded as if with jewels by baby barnacled. A human finger is nearby. The nail bigger than the star.

World's top court says healthy environment is a human right – DW – 07/23/2025 The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has issued its ruling on States’ legal obligations in relation to climate change.

“In a watershed advisory opinion, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the Hague has said a "clean, healthy and sustainable environment" is a human right, and that failing to protect the planet from the impacts of climate change may be a violation of
international law.”

Hooray for #manzanita #toy store Toylandia...who had nest of swallows by front door.

Yes. Yes. The act of forming sentences and paragraphs is a method of distilling and has an intrinsic benefit to the writer.

Here's another photo that seems to be sunlight "leaking" through leaves, best described as komorebi in Japanese. The word is also associated with tranquility.

A siren/alarm⏲️ that wails in response to certain "flood warning" declarations might be a good piece of tech to install at camps and other public gathering places. (or, same sort of tech could be sprung by camera aimed at water level 100 feet away) #floods #prevention
