I think a fresh intro is due: I live in the PNW, obsessed with local and alternative/DIY music of nearly any genre (but especially #emo, #mathrock, #punk, #ska, #ska-punk). Nerd. Many fandoms but especially #StarTrek and #FriendsOfDeSoto. "Possibly the cutest rodent" according to Archie McPhee.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

some evenin' walkin' out by the farm, sayin' "what's good?" to some cows

Mt. Si at dusk with some dark green trees, a white farmhouse, and some cattle grazing in a brown field in the foreground.

A black cow with a calf behind her, standing in a field behind some barbed wire fencing.

The Tollgate farmhouse, white with brown timber decorated doors and a roll-up metal door in the dimly lit early evening. The Tollgate Farm sin on the farmhouse is lit by amber lights.

Kind of amazing that the photo Politico used of one of these folks -- the one who made a joke about gas chambers -- is from an event that Politico sponsored last summer.

One of the craziest stories I've seen in a long time. If you think Trump and his administration are extreme and depraved, just wait until you learn about the young guns who are positioning themselves to take over the reigns in the next few decades

Genuinely tempted to fly out to one of them from Seattle but probably a stretch to pull it off right now. Very cool that you're doing them though-such an absolute classic album

Yeah, I'm only a few years older than D'Angelo - that kind of freaks me out

Me: the sheer volume of reminder texts & messages from my dentist for my cleaning appointment is really annoying

Also Me: yeah, I'm still sorry about that one time I totally spaced on my appointment

the part I was least prepared for about getting older, is the steady stream of losing friends, family, and icons that I just assumed would somehow be around forever

I do not know how to process these #Mariners feelings. This is uncharted mental territory. #GoMs #SeizeTheMoment #TridentsUp 🔱

The "Is this a pigeon" meme template. A butterfly in the upper right is labeled "Mariners lead ALCS 2-0" and a man in black glasses holding his left hand up to the butterfly is asking, "Is this hope?"

I am thankful my new job doesn't start until next week (although it may complicate watching any World Series games)

The Ms aren't using their Bluesky account yet, but I have to put some respect on this hashtag they knocked it out of the park with on FB yesterday: #MAWWTWFT

Friday night I was at a show at Madame Lou's and the guitarist kept asking "Have the Ms won it yet?" and hilariously kept getting "No, it's the 12th!" and such answers.
