Could you quit shooting each other? I much prefer fist fights. Safer, more safisfying. Less likely to kill, which is a permanent consequence. Thanks!

Seattle is also really racially segregated. Today’s shootings happened in relatively white, affluent areas, which is why everyone is freaking out. (Not counting myself out, I was 12 blocks away…) This doesn’t fit the scripts in people’s heads. The Cafe Racer shooting wasn’t gang violence, and both the shooter and the victims were white (the two guys who died were blues guitar players, from what I’ve heard). 

Want to scare white Seattleites? Can’t think up a better scenario than this.

So forgive us for freaking out a little bit. The past few weeks have been particularly bad, maybe the worst I’ve seen in the 10 years I’ve lived here.

“Find anyone who tries to regulate your body highly suspect” - this makes me giggle, juuuust a little bit. But also, it’s true.

“Last week, Argentina gave citizens the freedom to change their legal and physical gender without having to undergo medical, psychiatric, or judicial procedures. Along with eliminating patronizing barriers to swapping an “M” for an “F” on a driver’s license, the law gives Argentinians a freedom you won’t find anywhere else: gender self-determination.”
