In these trying times, community is like a warm blanket - offering comfort, solace, and maybe even a little static cling! Remember, it's not just about holding hands and singing Kumbaya; it's about folks coming together to lift each other up, like those overpriced helium balloons at a birthday party! Let's support each other, one neighborly nod and casserole at a time. Because in tough times, we don't just survive; we thrive... with a little help from our friends. #CommunityStrong

Seattle's 2SLGBTQIA+ community, I want to hear from you! In these uncertain times, your voice matters more than ever. As a Commissioner on the Seattle LGBTQ Commission, I want to know: What should we be telling the Mayor and City Council on your behalf?

Your concerns, hopes, and priorities help shape our advocacy. Drop your thoughts in the replies or email slgbtq@seattle.gov.

Boost to spread the word! ✊💜 #Seattle #LGBTQIA #LGBTQ #2SLGBTQIA

If there are an infinite number of universes, that means somewhere out there, there's one where everything's exactly the same - except you have a cooler hat.

Meanwhile, in an alternate reality, Congress can't agree on the color of the sky. Some say blue, others insist on periwinkle. Naturally, it's gridlock! Public opinion polls suggest a compromise of "sky-ish," but some members of congress are ready to filibuster with eight-hour meteorology lectures. One thing's clear: if the forecast is as loud as Congress, expect thunderstorms... of paperwork! #PoliticalWeather

The #Seattle #LGBTQ Commission proudly supports Seattle City Council in passing CB 120950! This Shield Law ensures Seattle won’t cooperate with out-of-state investigations targeting gender-affirming or reproductive care & strengthens legal protections.

We also support CM Rinck’s Amendment B, reinforcing state-level protections & ensuring Seattle remains a Shield City.

Seattle must lead with action! Read our full letter of support attached.

I wasn't looking, and didn't really want to, when the city bus driver shouted, "put your pants back on or get off my bus!" I am absolutely not turning around. Some things are better left a mystery. #PublicTransit #BusAdventures

Meanwhile, in an alternate reality, every third Thursday is designated as "Invisible Umbrella Day." Carry one with pride and watch the rain be slightly confused.

Keep your wits about you; unexpected pop-ups may occur during this ride.

Top fictional news headline of the day: 'Local Cat Appointed as City Mayor, Pledges Nap Time and Endless Tuna For All!'

Every day's an adventure with this little ball of fur, from epic naps to daring leaps off the couch. She insists on watching every bird documentary with me, and I suspect she's plotting to catch one someday. Anything your feline friend has been up to lately? #CatsOfMastodon

Wrapped up a peaceful walk, soaking in the crisp air. Hope everyone finds a moment of calm today.

Welcome to another edition of Inside the Mind of My Cat: 'Ah, yes, the sunbeam. It's warm, it's cozy, and it's mine. Until it moves, and betrays me yet again. How dare it! I meant to stretch in that precise rectangle for at least another three hours. But the real question is: am I moving away from the sunbeam, or is the sunbeam moving away from me? Think about it. That's right, folks, deep thoughts... with a sprinkle of catnip.' #FelinePhilosopher #CatsOfMastodon

Think about it: Every piece of matter that makes you has existed since the beginning of time. You’re just a cosmic LEGO set that temporarily formed into 'you' for a while.
