I asked @FedExHelp for some written confirmation that they had corrected the problem that results in them redirecting my packages to the wrong address, and he asked me if *I* wanted to write something down. 😭😠
Recommendation to my apartment- and condo-dwelling friends: avoid buildings that are using the Fetch package delivery service, if at all possible. It’s bad. It’s really, really bad.

I’ve got a barely used external frame pack, some rain gear, and travel toilet paper. Looking for places to donate. 🙂
There’s a loud mostly unmasked drunk white dude on this Cascades train, and @Amtrak has done zero about it. Non-stop from Portland. 1.5 hours of loud.

He tired himself out and/or drank himself to sleep. Blissful quiet. ☺️

The last two Seattle Times articles I’ve read (“bike-lane-building-binge” and the one about Woodland Park) have made me want to throw my phone across the room, so I think it’s time to give up ST entirely.

Just heard a too loud car set off someone’s car alarm downtown. Walking around today, definitely seems like during the pandemic, a lot of dudes treated themselves to expensive mobile noisemakers. I saw a Maserati that was painfully loud for *blocks* away. WTF.
I think expressing mildly unsympathetic sentiments towards landlords resulted in someone reporting me as contemplating self-harm on reddit? The Seattle virtual world is wild.

SPD has not experienced any funding cuts that have impacted the number of patrols. There are as many officers on patrol today as there were before the meager budget reduction. If policing prevented crime, this wouldn’t have happened.

I don’t know why this isn’t a bigger story.
49C on Tuesday. Gone Thursday. — We’re in a climate emergency. 🌎🔥☠️
as @drooliet frequently says, it’s easier for most Leftists to imagine the end of capitalism than it is to imagine the end of cars

Slightly obsessed with knowing; did someone shoot at the Westlake Starbucks yesterday evening? I *really* don’t believe that happened, but they seemed closed today, so…

I love randomly encountering Alicia Silverstone in movies.
Hey @houseRneighbors - had a Compassion Seattle signature gatherer approach us while we were at Flying Lion brewery on June 12th, about 1pm, claiming that the initiative “increased income for the homeless”. How should I report this?
Replying to @knothead02
If you have the time date and location of the interaction and could report that to the ethics office it would be helpful. For support doing this please reach out to @houseRneighbors
The dude who approached me last week said that it “increased income for the homeless”. 😬
Compassion Seattle ballot signers are having a lot of success with their “this will finally do something about homelessness message” a lot of good people are being deceived to sign CA29 & feeling really bad when they learn more about it.

Ran into someone on the east side of Capitol Hill today who thought he was close to Keys on Main. Our geography is seriously confusing. And our roads being broken up by I-5 and Aurora makes that worse.

BTWs: this made him late to meet up with his son for his son’s birthday, on Father’s Day eve.
Is KC metro still limiting the number of people that can be on board a bus? I hadn’t experienced it until my ride home today, and I swear I’ve been on buses that were more crowded very recently.

We had someone walk up to the outdoor area at Flying Lion today to ask people to sign a petition to “increase income for homeless people”. Is that the Compassion Seattle BS?
