  1. I am not safe in Kentucky nor with my toxic roommate as a disabled trans woman. I need $1650 to break my lease. I don't know if I'll even be able to afford rent next month. I also need to figure out who I can crash with while I figure things out.

    PLEASE BOOST AND SHARE.

  2. This is an excellent Vox article on I-638, the Brian Heywood initiative that would force all #washingtonstate girls who want to play school sports to submit to physical genitalia exams, or get genetic or hormonal testing done, all at to_be_determined’s expense.

  7. Beyond The 100-Year Flood - Probabilistic Flood Hazard Assessment For King And Pierce Counties Under Future Climate Scenarios
    --
    doi.org/10.5194/nhess-26-3231- <-- shared #openacess paper

    [part of my old stomping ground as an engineering geologist]
    H/T @Kees Nederhoff
    “Flood maps are usually built from a single design storm. For King and Pierce Counties in the Pacific Northwest (USA), [the authors] tried the opposite - simulate 82 years of actual coastal and river conditions (plus 18 synthetic years) with SFINCS and let the statistics fall out cell by cell. That took about 5,400 yearly simulations and 194,000 CPU hours on USGS's Hovenweep HPC. Worth it!
    The design-event shortcut turns out to hide a real hazard. A deterministic 10-year event underestimated flood depths by up to half a meter compared to the continuous runs.
    The bigger surprise [to the authors] was how one-sided the climate signal is. One metre of sea level rise takes King County's expected annual flooded area from 161 --> 787 hectares, almost a factor of five. Changes in storminess over the same horizon barely register. And somewhere between 100 and 150 cm of SLR, land that never floods today starts flooding fast. If you plan adaptation in Puget Sound, that threshold matters more than any single return-period map.
    [They] also propose Expected Annual Flooded Area (EAFA) as a probability-weighted alternative to the binary "inside or outside the 100-year zone" label…”

  8. Also, requesting PubliCola cover this story WRT Mayor Wilson: "City Light ... plans to send the updated large load contracts to the mayor’s office for review soon."

    seattletimes.com/seattle-news/

    This is our opportunity to lobby against it to Mayor Wilson.

    Mayor Wilson is also not on the Fediverse

    Why isn't Mayor Wilson on the Fediverse? I did not see an account here, but she is on Meta, X, Insta, Bsky

  10. #Voter #disenfranchisement , a top priority of #Project2025, would be done by requiring either a birth cert or passport in your current name, meaning up to 70 million married women and low income people are the targets.

    This affects *everyone* whose name has changed.

    * immigrants who tried to assimilate
    * married women
    * transfolk
    * adoptees

    If you currently use a name other than the one your parents gave you, it affects you.

    In WA state, mail-in voting would be destroyed by this law. #washington #Seattle #KingCounty

    Contact your Senstors to oppose this, today 2/12

    Here's how they would do it.

  11. I've travelled to a lot of places, and I'm used to some pretty questionable bus stops, but *this* stop takes the cake. It's a literal pile of trash.

    The best part is that this is a much better, higher quality pile of trash than the last time I used it a few days ago. #progress
