baby bird feeding report (tw: mild animal injury)
while walking to volunteering from the bus stop, I saw a raccoon fishing in the runoff pond next to the center. I got a couple of pictures as it froze and WATCHED ME VERY INTENTLY while I walked around the corner and up the driveway. that's the first (live) raccoon I've seen "in the wild" (the ones at the rescue center don't really count) in years. I also passed a young crow trying to imitate the adult crow rattle, sounded like a crow-purr! (1/?)
racism, birdsite boost, guns
RT @alexandraerin@twitter.com "How can it be racist to say something if you're white, but not if you're not?"
The exact same way it's a threat to hold your hands a certain way if there's a gun in them but not if there's not.
Context matters, and the presence or absence of power is a context.

ideas that will probably get me in trouble
@anthracite once when I was in high school in Humboldt County, somebody made big stencils of traffic-sign people doing various things, like sitting down, eating from a can, petting a sign-dog, and spray-painted them in various colors on the roadways around my neighborhood. my walk to school that morning was wonderfully surreal, and that afternoon my friends and I went to see if we could find them all. XD
dragons, food, overwhelmingly cute art, aliensite link
Things are a little tight right now so if anyone wouldn't mind throwing me some change for my bullshit just to get me thru to the next paycheck that'd be great

birdsite link, funny, mildly lewd
I am *shrieking with laughter* at these. IT'S ALL TRUE.

glance up into a ceiling corner--oh hey, big ol' green cricket-thing. dude... this is not a safe place to hang out. I mean, you're probably safe from spiders, but we have a hungry little ball of fluffy plasma that will eat you in a heartbeat if you come down here. #kittenthings

Local Seattle/Eastside Pol, Primaries
So in case you're in LD 48 like me and are confused as to who to vote for in representative no. 2 because nobody (including the Stranger) covers it here's the breakdown:
Amy Walen is a proven politician (mayor of Kirkland) who looks like the kind of feminist who only cares about white cis women.
Cindi Bright is a woman of color and she actually cares about poor/queer people.
So yeah don't fucking vote for Amy even though she'll probably win.
Racist/Transphobic Business at Mt. Baker Station
If anyone's in south Seattle, avoid Compadre coffee. The white owner makes snide remarks about POC while her business is in a POC neighborhood. Adding to that, she's transphobic as hell and will forcefully deny the existence of fluid gender identity.
May it sink like the Titanic and reverse its attempted gentrification.
