Skagit County has ordered Mount Vernon and upriver communities of Hamilton, Rockport, Marblemount and Concrete to evacuate to high ground as soon as possible.
Everyone in Skagit County living in the 100-year floodplain will likely receive an evacuation notice today.

Earlier today, I signed an emergency declaration in response to intense flooding.
Now, it's important we get an expedited emergency declaration from the federal government so we can access protective measures and additional federal resources. That will be key.

I love that the Pride Game at the 2026 World Cup will be played between Iran and Egypt, two countries with draconian LGBT laws. I love that they both protested because they are big mad. I think it would be hot if FIFA made them kiss before the first whistle.

Shingles on my scalp turned into a skin infection so painful I went to the ER and they did a CAT scan and showed me my whole head was swelling up to fight the infection. They gave me such powerful antibiotics my gut wasn’t right for six months.
Am I doing this right PMEP?

people gotta talk about their shingles experiences. no one is going to enjoy this
All over my FB people talking about their bad experiences with shingles vax and dissuading each other from getting it! We need to give people real info on how to mitigate the symtoms caused by vaccines because vaccines are always better than meeting a virus unprepared. Yet drs aren't coaching ppl

Do you think she's actually been at a disadvantage to a trans person at any point in her miserable life, or is she just your garden variety bigot?

When the president of the United States unleashes a pointless and meandering rant about his mental health, about all the hard cognitive tests he had to take in front of a panel of doctors, about how no other president has done this before, it does not fill me with confidence we're sending our best.

Odd numbers are evil. Even numbers are good.
Since I was a kid I've thought some numbers are simply better than others. Not sure if this started from lucky numbers, it's an aesthetic thing or it's some Neuro-diversity issue but some are simply better. Just be clear 1 and 9 are superior, 2 and 8 are inferior scum.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Say what you will about Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, he's an absolutely world-class Diddy hater. Petty and mean to a degree I didn't know was possible, for longer than I realized. Hats off to a real one.

Asked a server to break $100 for lunch, change was $81.75. I got back three 20s, a 10, a 5, and six 1s. A true veteran of the industry, huge respect.

It's World AIDS Day. Since the Administration has decided to keep it quiet, I'd like to share my introduction to AIDS.
I grew up in Seattle. My mom remarried a man who had a brother who was a King County Sheriff's Deputy. His name was Terry and he was gay. 1/x

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.
Ensure HIV treatment for all.
End HIV stigma.
