Had a pleasant walk nearly the length of Beacon Hill and back, just enjoying all the flowers grown by neighbors while going down unfamiliar streets on a gorgeous afternoon. Also, someone yelled “Hi, Bob!” from the window of a passing vehicle; I don’t know who, but I waved back 👋🏻
#Seattle #BeaconHill #walk

I'm so fortunate to have magnificent #trees like this in my back yard. It does mean tons of needles and cones all over everything, but still... Every time I go outside, I look up and am reminded that we live among giants.

All of my releases since 1996 can be downloaded freely on Bandcamp and found streaming everywhere else.

#introduction

Hello :) I am a disabled artist in Seattle, Washington. I am sharing my photography on Pixelfed.social and it seems like having an actual Mastodon account would be helpful as well.

I like technology, linux, art, photography, music, meeting nice people, animals, and nature especially.

I am friendly and follow back if you'd like to connect.

Thennnn... Where did the bazillions of ppl who were exposed during those times go? What is timing on #measles.. contracting it & then contagious period. Like, oh I don't know, the clinic where masks are no longer recommended. Did you see the same doc days later? Were they not showing symptoms yet contagious? Oh & if it's airborne, can we use the same formula for #Covid? Can stay in the air up to 90 hrs? I could go on. This is my brain everytime I leave my house #Seattle #CovidIsNotOver

These two Stellar’s Jays making a big scene with their less-than-stellar singing voice picked the absolute least photogenic spot in the neighborhood for their shenanigans. Also, who the heck did this wiring? It looks insanely dangerous.

Seattle being #Seattle gave us a cloudy morning ☁️ but a sunny afternoon.

Perfect to be outside, or even to be inside configuring a self-hosted mail server.

Btw, if you want to join #Seagl as a #volunteer we are looking for people to join our different committees: https://seagl.org/get_involved

If you want to join as a presenter, the #cfp is how you can come in: https://seagl.org/cfp

Important notes about my plans to see the Wimps at the Tractor Tavern tonight:
1) I'm not your dad
2) I'm not the landlord shutting you down
3) I'm just a man with no plans trying to spend some time at night getting out of the house

I got up close and personal with AMTK 315 this morning, pulling the 7 train back to Seattle slightly ahead of schedule. #trains #amtrak #seattle #alc42

Chilly, foggy morning in #Seattle - great excuse for breaking out the good stuff from Mulkiteo Roasters. If you're looking for an excuse to try a new coffee roaster, I highly recommend https://www.mukilteocoffee.com/collections/signature-blends - Anthony's or Happy Hippie. #coffee

@howiecohen Yep. We only have our memories now. The old #Seattle way of life is gone. We flew under the radar for a long time, then big tech companies put us on the radar, and everything became so bourgeoise with the growth of extreme wealth.

I’m looking for a ~1 month Airbnb type apartment rental or house-sitting opportunity for the month of #June in #WestSeattle. For my folks, who are visiting while I deal with some health stuff.

They’re in an Air Bnb now, but moving out June 2, and looking for what’s next - but availability is looking like a challenge. Trying to avoid the Residence Inn, etc.

Figure I’d check with the Fediverse, so many nice folks here.

Facinating read, but I was disappointed there was only a vague mention of the school district becoming "more diverse" without going into the overall demographic changes of displacement marked by these maps: https://depts.washington.edu/labhist/maps-race-seattle.shtml

Some majority non-white neighborhoods in Seattle have in fact become more white as black families were displaced out of the district

Final update: my coworker is back home & is now resting. Feeling some relief.

⚠️CW violence⚠️

Here’s what happened:

She was walking across Denny when a driver turned left into her, hitting her & sending her 10 feet where she hit the back of her head on asphalt. She got a concussion & sprained wrist

Update: they are doing better & should be released from the hospital later today.

I confirmed with them that they are the pedestrian in this report from Ryan Packer: https://twitter.com/typewriteralley/status/1662119540166377472

I’m still waiting on details, but I’m pissed off because I learned that a coworker was hit by a driver & sent to the hospital while walking to the office from Capitol Hill this morning.

When will the epidemic of traffic violence end?

Finally Friday, prelude to a long weekend in #Seattle. The weather is looking great for riding a bike 🚵, or perhaps swimming a little 🏊, or better yet, submitting a proposal for #Seagl

It's weird watching #NYC get an influx of refugees/immigrants and seemingly not giving a shit about building more housing.

At least #Seattle kind of gave a shit (#HALA in response to what was effectively Amazon employee numbers growth wasn't great, but it was better than nothing at all). But NYC is just like, "meh, whatevs."

For the Seattle Times, I wrote about Fremont used bookstore Ophelia’s Books. Now, with a new co-owner, Ophelia’s is making some big changes: For the first time in 26 years, the store will carry a small selection of new books. #Seattle #Fremont #Bookstore #books https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/books/in-fremont-ophelias-books-balances-26-years-of-tradition-with-bold-new-plans-for-the-future/

Thanks to the Merlin app, I'm pretty sure it was a Barred Owl. This is my very first wild owl sighting (hearing?) and especially notable for this area. I know they frequent some of the forested park areas, but here? Two blocks from Rainier Ave S? That is unusual. That rules. I am hyped. #seattle #birds #owl

LATE BREAKING NEWS: I just sat down in bed and I heard a noise and thought it was a weird dog, but weird dogs don't make a repetitive call, a hooting you might even say, and then, then I realized: I HEARD AN OWL!!!!! #seattle #birds #owl

#Kelp has long been an important part of the #Samish diet and culture. The Samish Indian Nation's Department of Natural Resources dive team, formed in 2021, was created to gain a better understanding of the health of kelp forests, after elders noticed they weren't finding kelp fronds, which are traditionally used to wrap salmon.

Is it dinnertime? Wait, what do you mean it’s 3:30pm?!

I am so proud of myself for going grocery shopping at 8pm PT yesterday, when I was almost dozing on my feet.

Also: WA is the first state I’ve lived in that sells alcohol in grocery stores with no strings attached. So I bought cheap wine just on principle.

I may not have a frying pan, but I have a corkscrew. #priorities

Reposting for a #Seattle comrade and their household who lost basically everything in their home in a fire.

The fire seems to be from a faulty dishwasher they reported to their apartment multiple times as being broken but was never fixed.

Some photos from today. Very very few things were salvagable. We were able to save some of our string instruments, patio chairs, and a handful of other small hard items like metal jewelry and crystals.

I want to thank everyone who has donated and reached out to us so far. We’ve been nonstop busy with phone calls, insurance, and paperwork since this happened, so it’s been hard for us to communicate as much as we want to with everyone. The outpouring of support has been incredible, but anything we can get helps. We’re still at the beginning of rebuilding our lives and the mountains of paperwork and phone calls that go into it, once I have a better handle on other ways we could use support, I’ll post and/or reach out. I also intend to hold an in memorium post for at least Leaf, and may let Jordan and Gus to get to say some words about Paul and Poppy first, respectively.

Thanks again everyone. We are currently looking for very affordable 2 bed home/apartments in the Seattle area, pref on the north side. Let us know if you have leads. We’re still in need of financial donations if possible. Venmo is @sebastian-dorrance, cash app is $sebastiandorrance, PayPal is @sebastiandorrance

If you were at Pike Place Market in #Seattle between 3:45 and 6:45 p.m. last Saturday, or the nearby World Market (2103 Western Ave) from 4:15 to 6:45 p.m., you may have been exposed to measles.

Hey #Seattle people! This beaver lives at the pond at the north end of Golden Gardens park. Shooting with a telephoto lens gives the illusion of being up close and personal, but I was not actually anywhere near this cute little critter. I watched it cross the pond a couple times bringing grass to its home.

Seattle folks, Swanson's Nursery in Blue Ridge has a jawdropping Ukigumo Japanese maple in its spring (white leaf) state.

it's spectacular, at least for the next few weeks. if you find yourself near 95th and 15th NW, stop by.
