Architect and planner and executive director at Environmental Works Community Design Center in Seattle. Lots of #housing #design #cities and also #parrots #dogs #cheese #vegetables #travel #art #music
Based in Seattle, Washington, USA
On this trip to #Tucson, we visited the fabulous Barrio Bread, a bakery and #bread Mecca, where the owner kindly tastes home bakers’ bread, answers their questions, and gives them advice. The bread was so, so delicious and crusty. You should go there. The mister, an amateur bread nerd, also bought a packaged bag of #flour.
Fast forward to our departure this morning, and the #TUC #TSA agents noted that bag of flour deep in his suitcase and pulled it out for extra swabbing and processing.
The writers who created the Connor Roy character in #Succession must just watch the #RFK Jr. campaign unfold in utter disbelief.
The mister and I were just trying to guess how many times #StevieWonder has performed “Higher Ground.” Our best estimate is 10,000. #dnc #dnc2024
Look at me, pretending I understand the rules of handball! #olympics
I did _not_ correctly predict the killer in Presumed Innocent.
@tala I think it was that he found human bones in the river, so it was clear that his staff was carelessly disposing of bodies, when he was trying to disassociate from all the killing, but then his kids end up swimming in it.
@ohmu is Aptos a mountain or a place?
Hooray! I got our client and then the City to agree to a shade of blue for the exterior of our building that is definitely blue but also contains a healthy amount of *purple.*

@bikepedantic huh! Do you think it’s a voluntary AKC kinda thing, or a more nefarious überhund superiority complex?
@IMGoph ugh. Remember the time the guy died of a heart attack *while across the street from a fire station* in part because they dispatched an ambulance to the same address in NW instead of in NE?

@ohmu wild! It’s so easy!
As a type O and very regular blood donor, this is the first time that Bloodworks has ever texted me with follow-up info like this: apparently, the pint of blood I donated last month went to someone receiving cancer treatment at Providence Portland Medical Center.

#DonateBlood, y’all.
Saw a bumper sticker on a #KiaSorrento stating “Never Cross Picket Lines.”
Let’s be clear: Kia manufactures the Sorrento in West Point, Georgia and employs _zero_ #UAW workers at that factory.
I wish Seattle was more consistent in its progressive politics.
On one of our projects, our structural engineer is named Elliott Smith, and I don’t think I’ll ever get over seeing that name in my inbox.
Instagram never serves me the “you’ve used #instagram for 15 minutes today. Is it time to quit?” warning when I’m light-heartedly scrolling current pics. It always serves it when I’m like three years deep into a stalking of my old friend’s ex’s new fiancé. NOT NOW, INSTAGRAM; I’M BUSY DOING IMPORTANT RESEARCH!
@scott gah.
My 72yo airplane neighbor was reading “The Handmaid’s Tale” for the first time first time all flight long, and 2024 certainly _is_ a mood, huh?
I get that people who live in populous and prosperous #suburban communities don’t want to always have their area described as “a suburb of #Nashville” but this part of #Tennessee seems to instead have settled on the term “Middle Tennessee” and that sounds like the worst #placeName ever to me.
