NEW: I’m excited to announce a new project I’ve been working on, the Seattle Sweeps Open Data Repository. This open-source data set contains records related to Seattle’s policies of displacement against unhoused people. gossipguy.net/introducing-th…

Wow, the amount of Seattle-area homes with AC nearly doubled over the past decade. Really shows the rapid pace of climate change and how it is spurring adaptations by residents of the historically cool Pacific Northwest.

Damascus is now the 4th Middle Eastern capital to be bombed by Israel in the past 6 weeks, alongside Tehran, Beirut, and Sana'a.
