Follow up. Ran into a very helpful SPU employee on the street. He made some calls and figured out it was the fire department doing hydrant testing. He cracked open the closest hydrant and purged some water, clearing things up quickly. So, no, the tapwater didn't turn into IPA in the brewery district #seattle #ballard

(update: im so scared. please. time is almost out. anything helps. i simply cannot miss rent)

hi! im rachael, i am a trans woman trapped in a red state (indiana) alongside my disabled partner @mosscovered and our two dogs. i was fired for being trans and no one local will hire me for the same reason. i am desperately seeking work that can help us move out of state.

while i valiantly continue my job search though, we need to keep a roof over our head, pay utilities, buy food for us and the dogs... it adds up really fast and we really need help to hold on to that tenuous safety. anything you can give us really, truly helps.

my venmo is venmo.com/u/rachaelspooky

now that i have my legal name change i can get on other payment processors, but until i do, if you want to use something other than venmo, @vantablack is happy to pass along any donations from the many options they list in their bio.

also, i have a decade of experience in fullstack software development and have led teams and projects as a senior dev. if you have any remote positions available, i am desperate. my programming background is mostly in php/js but i am a fast learner and can pick up your tech stack right away. i will also happily take junior roles if it keeps me housed and potentially can get me out to #seattle . so do not hesitate to reach out if you have something i could do.

i also need to replace my car battery today. i dont know how much those cost but it's more than what i have.

thank you all for any support you can give, any boost :boost_ok: you can do, it means the world to us

Ok more updates.

It seems -everyone- at the park were told to get dressed and a small number of people refused.

The person who refused the most was threatened with arrest and eventually was given a trespass and is barred from entering the park for a week.

SPD says they had to do it because this homeowner(or their security guard) complained.

Updates:

This is breaking news so details may shift as info comes out:

It seems a single cop showed up and tried to tell people they could not be naked at all in Denny Blaine Park.

This sparked MANY beach goers to argue with the cop about his request.

Comrades listening to scanners indicate more cops were enroute to Denny Blaine.

#Breaking

I'm hearing from some allegedly naked bathers that cops began raiding Denny Blaine Park this afternoon around 2:30 pm.

Skinny dipping at Denny Blaine is a well known Seattle summer tradition. Public nudity remains legal in Seattle, though the cops are increasing arresting people anyways for arbitrary "public lewdness" claims.

But if signing up for an org and getting on mailing list isn't your speed, please just look over the city council's calendar and agendas and signup for public comment or directly check in with your legislator at whatever level you are able (email / call / in person).

If you've never gone to a city council meeting, this is a great time to do it.

#CallToAction

Next Week Seattle City Council is expected to change the ethics code in an alarming way.

The are planning on deleting economic conflicts of interest as a reason council members would be required to recuse from a vote.

It would be a good week to consider attending a city council meeting or emailing your (likely very terrible) council person and tell them to stop being so fucking corrupt.
