I honestly don’t understand the obsession with complaining about one’s own residence, as if it’s any worse off or that it’s especially worse off than other cities. I have lived in several places across the country and maintain contact with people in those places, and they say the same exact things, “this town is terrible, unsafe, dirty and all the homeless are here”. Well, guess what? There has been a nationwide epidemic of drug addiction going on for a few years now. There has been homelessness due to a scarcity of affordable housing and income insecurity. Healthcare costs have been skyrocketing, which causes bankruptcy, medical neglect and sometimes job insecurity. This has been happening all over, Seattle isn’t special. You don’t like the trash on the ground? Pick it up. You don’t like your local leaders? vote them out. I didn’t vote for Jenny Durkan, she’s acting exactly as I knew she would. The qualities that brought me here are still valid and I know I’m better off here than where I came from.

Not West Seattle, but just over the city limits in White Center.

This came across my Facebook Timeline just yesterday, Bloom Bistro, “opening this Summer”. It’s opening up in the old Biscuit Bitch location, by a couple of BB employees.

New: 4th of July Americana Hearts, Neon Pink Peace Signs and Flower Power prints! I also have Seahawks and plenty of solid colors for folks who don’t want anything too bold. I have 66 different fabric designs available. Email me for link to see the fabric choices and to place your face mask order: stacey1955@gmail.com. Suggested donation of $5 -$10 per masks for cost of materials is much appreciated. No-contact porch pickup if you live locally. If you don’t, I am happy to send orders through the USPS, (just add $3 to cover postage).

FYI, my face masks have 3 layers for more protection: 1 layer of non-woven interfacing sewn between 2 layers of 100% pre-washed cotton fabric. Bendable, waterproof wire sewn in along bridge of nose for tighter fit. Each order comes with a bonus “comfort strap.” If you need a larger or smaller mask, or would prefer ties instead of elastic then email me, and I will try to accommodate your needs. Care instruction included. I’ve made and given out over 450 face masks to friends, family, and neighbors already and have gotten lots of positive feedback. If you aren’t completely satisfied with each one, feel free to get in touch and I will take care of you!

I often hear that the whole cop issue is complex. It isn’t.

We, as a society, grant a great deal of power to the police. We grant them the power to question, to detain, to arrest, confiscate, kick down doors, and incarcerate. Further, we arm them against us, we armor them against us, we grant them the power to use violence to assert their authority and will through a variety of means. We grant all of these powers and tools to the police with remarkably little oversight, other than themselves, little training, no real vetting, as compared to other nations, no real education requirements and virtually no real accountability.

What does society really get in return? According to the FBI police solve a mere 46% of violent crimes and 18% of property crimes. Police largely don’t prevent crimes because they aren’t omniscient or omnipresent. I’ve seen police completely uninterested in a report of my wife being assaulted with a car by a teenager in front of our house. I’ve called 911 and it took 30 minutes for the police to show up. I’e been handcuffed and bodily hurled into a police car simply for yielding to a cop with his lights on. I’ve been hurled onto the icy ground, in subzero temperatures, wearing only shorts and no shoes or socks with a foot in my back in my own front yard. My personal list goes on and, according to the news reports, my stories aren’t even the tip of the iceberg.

I am not sympathetic to the plight of the cop. It’s a thankless and dangerous job but it’s also one that cop’s are not compelled to keep. Most jobs are thankless and many are dangerous that have no ‘hero’ status attached to it.

Cop’s have the power to improve their standing as well. They could choose to do things differently, to hold one another accountable and to a higher standard. But they don’t do that. The close ranks around one who has transgressed. Cops could have improved their image on their own but they didn’t which required the intervention, in Seattle, of the Federal Dept. of Justice. That still hasn’t worked, so now we, the people want to take back the power we granted. Alas, it’s harder to take back than to give.

So, no, I don’t have any sympathy or sorrow for the cop. It’s their own damn fault. Instead of being those who protect and serve they, as an institution, chose to go the other way.

Here’s another perspective, directly from an ex-police officer.

It’s very much worth reading, but to summarize, it demonstrates how the system within the force is engineered to produce and encourage bad cops.

A quote from the essay:
“And that’s the point of what I’m telling you. Whether you were my sergeant, legally harassing an old woman, me, legally harassing our residents, my fellow trainees bullying the rest of us, or ‘the bad apples’ illegally harassing ‘sh!tbags’, we were all in it together. I knew cops that pulled women over to flirt with them. I knew cops who would pepper spray sleeping bags so that homeless people would have to throw them away. I knew cops that intentionally provoked anger in suspects so they could claim they were assaulted. I was particularly good at winding people up verbally until they lashed out so I could fight them. Nobody spoke out. Nobody stood up. Nobody betrayed the code.

None of us protected the people (you) from bad cops.

This is why ‘All cops are bastards.’ Even your uncle, even your cousin, even your mom, even your brother, even your best friend, even your spouse, even me. Because even if they wouldn’t Do The Thing themselves, they will almost never rat out another officer who Does The Thing, much less stop it from happening.”

Thanks drdcla. I am experiencing this at my home and have been for several years. First it was just one dog with a constant loud bark that goes on during the morning and day. A few years ago, the owner shared that someone had filed complaints with the city about their dog. The fact that multiple complaints were filed did not motivate the owner to do anything about the dogs behavior. It will bark at a person walking by, another dog, a car, a bird, basically anything.. It’s really unbearable now that everyone has had to basically stay home for the stay at home order. I have a few other neighbors that have moved in with dogs so it’s pretty bad. A lot of barking all day and even into the evening and late at night past the noise ordinance. It’s amazing people don’t think of the impact of their pets on neighbors and I for one wouldn’t want to listen to barking all day if I had a pet. People may say I should talk to my neighbors well I have or they’ve admitted to me they know it’s a problem, they just have’t been able to solve it or haven’t tried to solve it or come up with excuses. My quality of life has done a 180 and I have thought about moving.

Hi All, it’s about 3:55pm June 17. Been watching the crows harass this juvenile ravern for the past 3 hours. He’s sitting here in my back yard pretty tired. Tried with a neighbor to get him to go into the back of his truck so we could drive him to Lincoln Park but he was too smart for that. Anyone know what can be done to get him back to his tribe? Been sitting here next to me for the last hour as the crows won’t attack. Feel bad for him.

Just to be clear, not all plastic is off limits. Plastic bags and film are. Many plastic containers – if clean and dry – still are recyclable. SPU has an online list (I don’t hav the link handy but should be googlable.)

[heartless]

Turn the hose on ’em! Actually probably don’t do that, but I agree with the other comment, it’s really not okay (unless it’s like a huge field of wildflowers and you just take one). But in your case, with the roses and then daisies? That’s just ridiculous.

I’d like to add another perspective: many people are adopting rescue dogs, and those dogs have been through a lot. That doesn’t mean that they should bark incessantly. But it does mean many have suffered from trauma and are really hard to train. In my little part of the neighborhood, we all have rescue dogs–and they react to noise, aren’t so responsive to click ‘n treat, etc., and need some extra care. No one is just letting their dog bark all day.

I’ve seen a lot of folks driving around with that blue tape on their windshields indicating it has just been replaced. Unfortunately, now I need to do this as well. Anyone have any recommendations for places that will do this with quality parts/labor? Thanks!

Hi! My name is Peter Dyer and I will be a junior at Western Washington University next year. I am pursuing a BA in English (Creative Writing Emphasis) and I just finished my Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Minor. I am an avid reader and writer, I believe that reading & writing are important parts of the healing process and understanding the world around us. After WWU, I plan to attend grad school to study Library Sciences, I want to help kids understand the power that reading/writing has. Reading and writing are radical acts in our society today. This summer, I am offering creative writing classes for kids ages 8-17 in my community. I can teach classes individually over Zoom or in the backyard at your house with proper sanitation measures. I also think students can work best together, so I am open to doing classes with a max capacity of 5, grouped together by age with masks and other sanitation measures taken into account. Classes will include the reading of one fictional, social justice centric text (with a book report to follow) and three creative writing projects, all centered on understanding and seeking inspiration from our experiences and the world around us. My goal through these courses is to help kids understand their place in society, and how they can use their voice to make themselves heard and help others. I want to make these classes as accessible as possible. The price of the whole course is $500, but is negotiable. The course can also be modified on a drop-in basis, with each class being $75. Again, I want to work with your family to find a price that works best! I don’t think money should stand in the way of students learning and finding their voice through reading and writing.

Thank you for sharing this letter on the blog. I had tears in my eyes by the time I was done reading it. I was raised to always respect police officers, to do what I was told and not ever be disrespectful to them. Why? Because they put their lives on the line for us every single day. Yes, there are some that are bad, the majority are NOT.

I pray that your friends husband remains safe.
