I’m gonna go out on a limb and say it’s probably the homophobia

NEW: Rep. Amy Walen, one of the few Democrats to oppose the millionaires tax, lost her primary to progressive challenger Jessica Forsythe by just 17 votes. Now big business IEs have spent $410k in hopes to buy Walen her seat for another two years. www.theburnerseattle.com/post/corpora...

Spending money on the Ave on 10/10 and 10/17 will show the businesses that it is a good thing to pedestrianize the heart of the U district!

No lies detected. Some Washington State climate champions would do well to read this and grow a back bone to fight highway expansion. Especially as the WA state transportation budget is overstretched, we could reign in spending and GHG emissions by cutting bad projects.

I have retired from this post.

Oh yeah! See, always more reasons to love Fall!

This map is awesome! I used to take the California Zephyr to college. When it was on time, I hopped on in Denver and woke up in my college town. It got me hooked on train travel.

For other friends, they like structure. Like the first Wednesday of the month we have dinner. No wrong way to do it. Your friends like you and are happy to spend time with you, so invite them over!

The key to hosting people at home on the regular is to make it work for you! For me, that means allowing kid clutter/ some mess, cooking something that is already on rotation and allowing people to come as they are. The connection is more important than appearances/ perfection.

What a great opportunity to discuss parking policy! Kids love that even more than homework!

When I worked retail, being late was not acceptable and if you were late more than a handful of times you got fired. Same for food service jobs.

#WeekWithoutDriving having a flexible job is a huge privilege & makes being a non-driver more accessible. While there are certain things I must be at on time/ in person, much of my work can be done on my laptop or phone. If I miss the bus I can still take a call while I wait or check email.

@kellireef.bsky.socialOct 6, 2026, 9:09 PM

Thank you for your thoughtful analysis of the many, many ways this guy got it wrong. I cannot handle the I need to park close for safety argument.

Why do all off the appliances seem to break at the same time?

Day 3 #WeekWithoutDriving: sometimes you need to carpool! I am carpooling with friends to the pumpkin patch today. Carpooling takes a bit more coordination, but also can be a lot more fun!

@kellireef.bsky.socialOct 3, 2026, 4:30 AM

Every single time!

@kellireef.bsky.socialOct 3, 2026, 12:29 AM

I have to give credit to @tfooq.bsky.social who knows my music taste very well and curates new releases for me!

@kellireef.bsky.socialOct 3, 2026, 12:21 AM

A break from transportation related posts. I am obsessed with the band Mona et Toi and their record Radical Romance of the Mind! It is so good. It feels fun to find new music that I love.
