It’s OUR time. Today I’m announcing my run for state senate in WA’s 43rd district because we know we can win a Washington we can all afford - but politics as usual won’t get us there. People-power & leadership as visionary as our district will. Learn more and join us at hannahforwashington.com.

I am sorting and purging my way through my house. I’m currently going through my tights. I have over 25 pairs of black tights. Apparently, before I went through leather bags, colored stemware, or cashmere sweaters phases, I went through a black tights phase. ADHD much?

I lived in NYC from March 97 to August 00. Love Story is again spotlighting that place and time. SATC first aired in June 1996, and I watched it each week in my Manhattan studio apartment. Wandering the City back then was the best. No cell phones. Just a MetroCard, Zagat’s, and paperback in my purse

At the @36thdems.bsky.social Town Hall. Senator @noelframe.bsky.social proclaimed: Blame Brad Smith of @microsoft.com for personally making it his mission to kill the WA Wealth Tax. There are things in the millionaires tax that make me widely uncomfortable. #waleg #TaxTheRich #WealthTax

Fourth night in a row when I watched episode 5 and fell asleep to the kiss and “I’m coming to the cottage.”

Thanks for the recommendation! I’m trying to explore more of the consignment and thrift stores in Seattle in 2026.

It’s the Ballard Goodwill. It’s so close to me, so I walk there and get more steps walking the store to look for items. I try to go on Sat/Sun/Mon when certain tags are on discount. I also go with an item in mind—yesterday was white jeans and I found a pair for $4!

Thrifting is the best! This outfit (including shoes, vest, hat) was thrifted—mostly from a thrift shop 10 blocks from me. I’m not going to buy new (other than intimates) for the next 3 months. Hit me up if you want to go thrifting shopping together!

Do not put “how often to wash a hairbrush” into Reddit or any online search.

I told you not to do it.

I started off as a theatre kid.

And now, apparently, I’m a radical left scum.

I’m a socialist who loves our environment, learns from history, and honors community. Call me what you will. It’s about the values and not labels.

People who want to get morally superior about how they hand-wash everything really gotta reckon with the fact that machine dish-washing uses considerably LESS water and emits considerably fewer greenhouse emissions than standard handwashing practices do.

(And you save a lot of time...)

Does it save time to wash dishes by hand? No. But is it better for the environment? Also no.

Proposed language striking a prohibition on non-hotel and public use signage more than 65 feet above the elevation of the sidewalk.

They're trying to squeak one more Harrell Administration priority through before the end of the year: allowing huge-ass corporate signs on skyscrapers in Downtown Seattle.

So You Want a “Sex Cardigan” Just Like Elphaba’s, Huh? These sweaters say “I read” and “I will ruin you” at the same time.

Sex cardigans are trending on both bluesky and in fashion! www.vice.com/en/article/e...

Sex cardigans: can the Wicked sequel make bulky knits strangely alluring? It’s not the sexiest of garments. It arguably looks more like a discarded fishing net. And yet it has cast a spell over the internet
