@askdepop Hi I was wondering when I will hear back on an “item not as described” issue I raised 19 days ago on May 20.

[Mid Beacon Hill @midbeaconhill]

@cratefacts @AshleyNerbovig It’s linked from aclu page

[Hannah Krieg @hannahkrieg]

I am at a loss for words. For now, I'll share a line from what we sent to Walkinshaw when he bought the paper and initially tried to fire Rich:
"Flatly, if you buy The Stranger and fire Rich Smith, you did not buy The Stranger at all."

@PoulChapman @themobilepauper @AndrewAshiofu Didn’t he work on Maritza Rivera’s campaign?

@DaniAndi4 @MinusPeach My kid stopped taking it this week and catches the bus instead. It got too frustrating not being able to squeeze onto trains.

@Hernando_206 @pushtheneedle @curmudgeon_x Yes, I could not believe the money my coworkers were wasting on food at work, it was one of many ways I never really fit with the culture there.

[Mid Beacon Hill @midbeaconhill]

@pushtheneedle @curmudgeon_x And by “cafeteria” I mean the mall-type food courts and other individual IKEA-style restaurants that were located within most of the SLU buildings past the badge turnstiles.

@pushtheneedle @curmudgeon_x When I worked there most people did in fact buy lunch every day, but a large percentage of them went to the Amazon cafeterias

@ericacbarnett @WashingtonCOG Whatever you do, don’t fail to pay for one on time, or else they’ll close all your requests in progress.

@xiebob @exante_me @viviansong Yes, if the State Superintendent were given financial oversight of SPS, he would close Seattle schools. https://t.co/98GoS7Kewr

[Mid Beacon Hill @midbeaconhill]

Anyone who wants to turn financial oversight of SPS over to the state in order to avoid school closures is also going to have to make sure a different Superintendent of Public Instruction gets elected...

[Mid Beacon Hill @midbeaconhill]

@thebethocracy Reykdal has already stated that if he were given financial oversight of SPS that he would close a bunch of schools.

My testimony at SPS’s budget hearing

[Mid Beacon Hill @midbeaconhill]

“That doesn't mean you grow class size - this isn't about class size - it's about whether you have too many administrators. Could you have fewer by consolidating? And I think that's what probably three or four districts around the state have to genuinely look at”

[Mid Beacon Hill @midbeaconhill]

@ericacbarnett @RosesPaintedRed FYI, the lumping together of requests is done to other organizations as well and not just publications. It’s a problem. I suppose the best workaround would be for orgs to maintain spreadsheets of burner accounts and passwords.

[Mid Beacon Hill @midbeaconhill]

@FifthCrichton The poll got more entries than the contest.

[Mid Beacon Hill @midbeaconhill]

Guess how many Seattle youths wanted to create posters for OPA about what “meaningful police oversight” looks like.

[Seattle Office of Police Accountability @OPASeattle]

We want to see your art! 🎨OPA is accepting art submissions from youths 18 and under to be featured in our 2023 annual report. We’re inviting young artists to showcase their creativity and talent by expressing what “meaningful police oversight” looks like: https://t.co/1dtfN1Bk7p

[Mid Beacon Hill @midbeaconhill]

Two entries!

[Mid Beacon Hill @midbeaconhill]

How many kids do you think entered the OPA contest?
