Back when I went to UW, Seven Cafe in Ravenna was one of my favorite spots to chill

Neighborhood cafes like are currently illegal to build. The only reason Seven exists is because it was built before those laws went into place

There's currently a bill in the WA Senate that will make neighborhood cafes legal again, but it's at risk of being gutted

I highly recommend #Washington and #Seattle residents write their representatives to support this bill

Before you give up, remember:

You really should've given up a very long time ago.

So let me get this straight. The Supreme Court is only supposed to take cases where there is a real injury and real controversy, but it took the case of a web designer who faked a request by a gay customer for a website design? The guy was actually straight, married and with kids?

Vacate this case.

I posted about how the iOS development space is very white, male, and straight. A lot of white, male, straight people seemed to think this was me telling them they’re doing something wrong.

I said that I don’t see a lot of people like me in my field. If your immediate reaction to that is defensive in any way, you’re the problem. You need to examine why that makes you react defensively. That’s my advice on how to improve diversity. Interrogate your own bias.

Waaait a minute.

Are you people only boosting me because you think my long, loppy ears are sexy?

"Welcome to our gander reveal party!"

"Don't you mean..."

"No."

The Abandoned Ocean Vista Tuberculosis Hospital* | Abandoned America

Filled with relics from its past as a tuberculosis sanatorium, the abandoned Ocean Vista Hospital is a reminder of the days when you could be essentially imprisoned for being ill. By Matthew Christopher of Abandoned America.
