14missionThe last of my <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Seattle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Seattle</a> pix worth sharing. I had one shot left to use up on the way out of town. Everyone was in a hurry to get to the airport, and I had one block walk between the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SoundTransit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoundTransit</a> express bus stop and the light-rail/subway station to find something, so I took a picture of a hotdog stand with cool buildings in the background. It came out better than plenty of pictures I spent time carefully planning and setting up! I should take more pictures with people in them. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/KodakBrownie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KodakBrownie</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/boxcamera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#boxcamera</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/120film" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#120film</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/filmisnotdead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#filmisnotdead</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/filmphotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#filmphotography</a>

Field Replaceable UnitRelating to my previous rant about Sound Transit's broken trip planner, here's a PSA for anyone from out of town, trying to get around Seattle: DON'T USE SOUND TRANSIT'S TRIP PLANNER. USE THE KING COUNTY METRO TRIP PLANNER, WHICH ACTUALLY WORKS. <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Seattle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Seattle</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/SoundTransit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoundTransit</a>

Rachael LSigh, public engagement portals are often so bad. I was pointed at this one for <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/SoundTransit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoundTransit</a> (about a segment in <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/Seattle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Seattle</a>) -- <a href="https://www.crossingsafetyst.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.crossingsafetyst.org/</a>. The first page has a "Let's Go" button which I click. It loads this page. I couldn't figure out how to continue to where I give comment. Turns out there is a tiny right arrow at the bottom that I could click but I didn't notice it because it just seemed like visual noise. I had to turn on VoiceOver to "find" it. At least that worked?

Daigoro Toyama"Weekends don’t necessarily come with less ridership demand. Weekend ridership on the 1 Line has been outpacing weekday ridership in many cases over the past few months, as Link becomes an essential way to access entertainment and sporting events. Nonetheless, Sound Transit has continued its practice of scheduling its most disruptive maintenance work on weekends." This is absurd. I pretty much only take the Light Rail on weekends, and that's when all the service disruptions occur. Sound Transt should at least do some of them on weekdays. <a href="https://infosec.town/tags/LightRail" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LightRail</a> <a href="https://infosec.town/tags/SoundTransit" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoundTransit</a> <a href="https://infosec.town/tags/Seattle" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Seattle</a> <a href="https://www.theurbanist.org/2025/01/02/biden-infrastructure-law-mostly-funded-road-expansion-leading-to-climate-backsliding/?feed_id=4933&_unique_id=6776f3f8b0340" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.theurbanist.org/2025/01/02/biden-infrastructure-law-mostly-funded-road-expansion-leading-to-climate-backsliding/?feed_id=4933&_unique_id=6776f3f8b0340</a>
