“Birds Aren’t Real”

Gen Z is incredible. JK

You’ve heard about the “birds aren’t real” conspiracy movement, haven’t you?

“Conservatives Are Trash”

Not technically a sticker, but we’re going to give it a pass. JK

I saw this on an old phone booth near Glo’s covered in other stickers. A real resource for me.

“You Can Have Your Cake and Eat It Too”

One of my favorite things is getting lost on the “You can’t have your cake and eat it too” Wikipedia page. I never realized how many different meanings you can extract from this phrase.

“Mental Illness”

On Tuesday, the city council voted to pass a bill that requires tree service providers to register with the city prior to conducting commercial tree work on private property.

“Let’s not have any more trees sawed to death in the middle of the night by chainsaws wielded by unknown tree cutters. Let’s daylight these operations on a registry for all to see,” said the bill’s primary sponsor, Councilmember Alex Pedersen, in a committee meeting last week.

The council voted 7 to 0 to support the measure, and Council President Debora Juarez gave special kudos to

A couple times each season, Pacific Northwest Ballet’s art director Peter Boal sets aside the canonical material that audiences typically associate with the genre and delivers a collection of contemporary ballets that showcase the art form’s range. Plot Points was this year’s entry into that category, and it was so good and approachable and fun that I initially didn’t have much else to say about it beyond those blunt descriptors. In my notes after the show, I literally wrote, “A bunch of fun ballets for people who like to have a nice time,”

I think it’s time to take a hike? I’m not the REI type, so you tell me, but Seattle Times says check out Marmot Pass, Big Huckleberry Mountain, Yellow Aster Butte, Green Mountain, and the Ira Spring Trail to Mason Lake if you wanna huff Washington wildflowers. Are they right? I do not know. For more flowers, consult Matt’s list.

“I will not run for a second term,” confirmed Washington State Representative Kirsten Harris-Talley (KHT) in a piece for the South Seattle Emerald this morning.

Unstreamable is a column that recommends stuff you can’t watch on major streaming services in the United States.

Currently, there are 366 films and TV shows on this list. Each one was unstreamable when it was added. That means we couldn’t find it on Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, or any of the other 300+ streaming services available in the United States. We also couldn’t find it available for rent or purchase through platforms like Prime Video or iTunes. We don’t consider user-generated videos, like unauthorized YouTube uploads, to be streamable.

We add about four more titles each week. Sometimes they become streamable. If you notice an error, let us know!

I’m a 28-year-old queer woman. It’s been a while since I’ve been in a relationship, as it was impossible for me to make a physical or emotional connection with anyone after I was raped four years ago. I finally found a very, very, very nice fella. He’s 36 years old, and pretty basic. He’s a cis white man who isn’t into anal, which is good, not too good at oral, which is bad, with a medium-to-low sex drive and an average-to-good cock. Here’s the problem: I like the warm feelings of love and lust I’m finally experiencing after a long time, but I am nevertheless

What a radical transformation New York City’s Guerilla Toss have undergone over the last decade. Their output from 2013-2014 reveled in electro-punk chaos and No Wave mania, with plenty of tough grooves and unhinged shrieks from frontwoman Kassie Carlson. Albums such as Kicked Back Into the Crypt and Gay Disco merged early Gang of Four‘s angular funk and Six Finger Satellite‘s whiplash clangor with nastily exhilarating results.

The ensuing years have seen Guerilla Toss gradually lessen their abrasive qualities and drift toward something more welcoming. The transition began with 2015’s Flood Dosed, on which Carlson relents on the panic-stricken

The problem wasn’t just that Amazon wanted Seattle Pride to rename their march to “Seattle Pride Parade Presented by Amazon.” And it wasn’t just that Amazon wanted to be mentioned in all promotional material, with their logo larger than any other sponsor’s. It also wasn’t just that they wanted all Pride volunteers to wear shirts bearing an Amazon logo, that they wanted the Amazon logo displayed along the route, or that they wanted a company representative to be guaranteed time to deliver a speech at the march.

The problem is that the company was offering to pay Seattle Pride
