Me too!

Watching a crowd of people wait to cross Leary to get to the Ballard Farmers’ Market because SDOT used transit funds to turn a crosswalk from cross-whenever to signaled without reducing car traffic at all. So cool

Does she not know that already exists in station areas from HB 1491?

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Fuck, man. This is water in a desert.

Thank you, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. I’m rooting for you.

When Wales lowered its default speed limit from 30 mph to 20, it created a perfect natural experiment. England, a nearby jurisdiction did not.

👀 You can see road deaths declined by 25% in Wales after the policy was implemented. Via @20splenty.bsky.social www.20splenty.org/gb2024stats

Thank you, WA AG Nicholas W. Brown, for standing with your colleagues on this.

It’s a bit harsh to think about but if any major seismic event happened here we would probably permanently lose 20,000 homes over situations like this. A lot of old apartments are build on land community councils and planners downzoned so they can never be rebuilt

What an awesome time!!!!

!!!! go listen!!!!!!!!!!!

sara nelson's gang of anti-city activists are trying to destroy everything they can before they're rightly thrown out by the voters

In addition to Ron's point, requiring deep front yards in residential areas discourages businesses and stores that rely on visibility for foot traffic.

absolute disaster piece of legislation here. maritza rivera just killed housing in seattle

SDOT has confirmed with us that they did not consider mode shift when studying bus lanes on Denny Way. How can Seattle claim to be "transit first" when their traffic studies completely ignore it? We can't effectively build transit if we assume no one will ever use it.

Always a good night when I feel the need to put on Andrew Bird

If you’ve always wanted to see someone drive stick shift for the first time while drinking an open cup of the hottest coffee you’ve ever seen, Florida football may be for you

I used to live on Madison and would go out of my way all the time to walk down this street instead. Lovely little quiet refuge

The new West Coast Health Alliance is a good step forward for #Cascadia, but we need to plan now for cuts to Obamacare by funding a universal health care system in Oregon & Washington. My latest for Cascadia Journal: cascadia-journal.ghost.io/an-alliance-...

waves, by hywell 8 track album

Waves is out now

Earlier this year I was in a bad mental state, and seriously considered giving up on music many times.

But I persisted and I'm here now with a collection of works that are very personal to me.

If you take a listen... thank you.

Portland study reveals city's loudest neighborhoods Noise pollution hits hardest in low-income and racially diverse areas, a new study shows.

Health officials: these corridors are loud and hazardous to your health

Would you want to live there? I wouldn’t.
