As a wide Tumblr post once observed, a fungus cannot be killed in any way that matters because it represents decay as a form of life. What better subject would you want for a lovely needlepoint sampler? Learn to embroider fungi in a two-hour online workshop hosted by Melissa Galbraith of MCreativeJ. You can follow along live, or watch the recording afterwards; materials, should you need them, are included in the ticket price and will be mailed out. (If you order tickets now you will probably not receive the kit in time for the class, but you can also pick up the kit in

On Thursday afternoon, hundreds of Seattle’s business community members gathered at the Hyatt Regency Hotel for the Downtown Seattle Association’s (DSA) “State of Downtown” event. In the middle of a two-and-a-half hour networking session featuring an open bar and piles of pastel macarons, the big DSA circle-jerk included a panel interview of elected (and not elected) officials, a TedTalk from an urbanist, and a closing 20-minute briefing on the state of the neighborhood from DSA President and CEO, Jon Scholes.

In his little speech, Scholes focused on the positives: A new PCC opening on 4th Ave, increasing hotel capacity, and projections of a record-high cruise

I’ll never be able to recreate the range of emotions that must’ve wandered across my face when I opened a package a few days ago to find a graphic novel entitled Mr. Colostomy. The title alone produced waves of dismay, but that’s nothing compared to the annoyance produced by actually reading the thing.

I consider “having something to say” to be the bare minimum requirement of a comic book, or really any creative work. That’s not to say that an assortment of random expressions can’t be art, or worthwhile for a creator to enjoy making; just that those types of projects usually have an audience of one, unless they’re

“Your Girlfriend Is Smarter Than You”

A good one. JK

Thanks, Chunky Brewster! Incredibly, I think I’ve linked this song here before, but I’m putting it here again because I love this lil’ throwback:

“People Are Uncivilized”

Me whenever I open Twitter. JK

Spotted this beauty last weekend. Thanks as always, Starhead Boy!

“A.D.H.D.”

Meme stickers strike again. JK

Went through my archive and found this one from a while ago. I’ve really not been seeing as many meme stickers around this season as I did during the summer! (Except the next one, lol.)

“Willem Dafoe”

A moldy orange. JK

Oh—it’s a meme. From

LA-based comic Ivan Decker’s sharp, observational style earned him the “Comic To Watch” title at the New York Comedy Festival in 2017. Since then, he’s performed on Conan and released a Netflix comedy special. We hope he shares more stories of internet in-fighting and

She’s headed to the City of Brotherly Love. JUEQIAN FANG

Last week, Emily Zimmerman announced she would step down from her position as University of Washington’s Jacob Lawrence Gallery director and curator in early April to take up the job as assistant director at the University of Pennsylvania’s Arthur Ross Gallery. As an arts writer in the city, these announcements are never easier to hear!

During her time as the Jacob Lawrence Gallery’s first female director, the Philadelphia-raised Zimmerman has overseen excellent work, much of which The Stranger has written about over the years. Like C. Davida Ingram’s A Book with No Pages, Clotilde Jiménez’s ass eating-themed Apple of My

Residents say Seattle Property Management Associates urged them to re-enter unsafe units. SPMA declined to talk to The Stranger about the fire or its aftermath. Tipster

The fire started around 4:30 am on Friday, February 25, but that was just the start of the ordeal for residents of 3617 Woodland Park Ave N., a 116-year-old apartment building in Fremont.

The Seattle Fire Department extinguished the blaze within about an hour and began an investigation to determine the cause. That investigation remains ongoing as of March 18 according to the Fire Department, but what is clear is that the fire destroyed several of the building’s sixteen units, and the others

Of all the movies that showed at this year’s Sundance Film Festival back in January, writer-director Mariama Diallo’s debut feature Master is one of the most enigmatic and elusive. It’s a strong work that reveals the harm inflicted by racism embedded in America’s academic institutions, frequently utilizing misdirects and shifts in focus to infuse itself with touches of horror. Even as its various threads risk getting tangled up, it manages to unravel into something that draws you in delicately.

The film stars a consistently stellar Regina Hall as Gail Bishop, a respected professor
