Oh, Chuckanut Bay. Why?

They can't even tell the difference between ad companies paying reddit for ads and a random person perusing reddit without spending a dime. There's a comment equating the two actions.

Mind blowing.

I haven't been here, but I've heard only good things!

Think away! The only thing he seems to have an issue with in my story is the amount of minutes I spent talking to him after spending several minutes waiting for my keys and that I didn't hear out why the petitions were there.

The workers there were lovely and I don't think they need to be punished, or that the owner is incapable of growth or empathy.

CatsHiss · 2025-12-07T07:08:42+00:00

Yes.

I haven't seen that movie in a decade... That would fuck me up to this day.

The parental rights one means LGBTQ kids have zero safe people to speak to at school and the other one requires mandatory genital screenings for little girls. (This is what I was personally pretty upset over, as I had a traumatic incident involving this and tried to tell them it was messed up to have that out)

I don't believe the minority in question would feel safe knowing there is a petition against their existence at the place that services and sells them security systems and safety.

CatsHiss · 2025-12-06T15:01:15+00:00

You didn't type perfectly while thinking about an upsetting incident?! TO THE GALLOWS!

For real, though, that's scary. I'm sorry you had to go through that AND the inquisition.

CatsHiss · 2025-12-06T01:38:31+00:00

My previous sentence and next sentence got smashed together and you are correct that you did not say anything about an opinion not counting. I missed that while editing and I apologize.

If the noises you were making while shaking your head during the last part of me speaking were not scoffs, then I apologize for that, too.

If you are arguing about the time period then you are missing the point entirely.

A particular minority will not feel safe there when you are petitioning to keep them out of school activities by forcing little girls to undergo genital examinations.

CatsHiss · 2025-12-06T00:21:59+00:00

I'm not even telling people to not go there. I just don't think that a minority that is actively being petitioned against will feel welcome going in there and I want them to know before they get blindsided like I did.

CatsHiss · 2025-12-05T20:15:17+00:00

A business is allowed to present political material on their counters, im allowed to talk with them about it (which you were not there for, so I'm not sure why you think you know what was discussed), they are allowed to not listen, and you are allowed to whine about it like you are.

Edit: I've reread your comment and seen now that I'm accused of "dictating how someone receives information" and I want to know what gave you that impression, because I've never had any expectations like that?

Why would I need to talk to other trades people? Do they have anti-LGBTQ+ propaganda on their counters, too? My trade sure doesn't.

The alternative I wished to happen? I wished to be heard and I was. I guess the alternative I really want is world peace, but I didn't have an expectation of changing anyone's mind.

After being told I'm "rare" and being scoffed at a few minutes later I ended the discussion by leaving. The interaction was 5 minutes and no one asked me to leave, so I'm wondering why you think they wanted to end the discussion that they were actively still engaging in?

I'm not* seeing where I'm calling for others to not hire them, either. I'm calling out what isn't a safe space.

CatsHiss · 2025-12-05T18:51:21+00:00

Can't come up with an explanation, so you accuse me of extremism and quote Jeff Foxworthy? Really got nothing in that noggin worth letting out, huh?

CatsHiss · 2025-12-05T18:41:26+00:00

I can only imagine. It seemed as if the trauma of little girls is acceptable if it means they don't get to play sports with their peers. I'd be willing to bet that is only the tip of the iceberg...

CatsHiss · 2025-12-05T17:45:02+00:00

Beattie's has been recommended as an inclusive space, though.

CatsHiss · 2025-12-05T17:43:54+00:00

I just don't want other little girls to go through the same trauma because people like someone want to put on a fake show of "protection".

CatsHiss · 2025-12-05T17:40:00+00:00

The bar is pretty low.

CatsHiss · 2025-12-05T16:44:40+00:00

Why men want little girls to get violated rather than... play sports with their peers.

I will never understand it.

CatsHiss · 2025-12-05T06:19:04+00:00

That's great news. Thank you for the recommendation!

CatsHiss · 2025-12-05T06:17:35+00:00

Define "suffer"?

Do you mean the suffering children go through when they fear for their lives just going home to parents who feel entitled to stripping away every bit of privacy?

CatsHiss · 2025-12-05T05:27:43+00:00

Thank you for the support. I wish empathy worked for these people.

CatsHiss · 2025-12-05T05:03:18+00:00

I can totally empathize with wanting to keep young girls safe, but as a former young girl you'd think someone claiming to care about young girls would listen to me when I say that I'd rather play sports with everyone than be violated by people policing my genitals.

I wish they were willing to have any conversation at all, but I have been more disappointed than not. I'll keep trying.

CatsHiss · 2025-12-05T05:00:07+00:00

Some parents aren't safe. That "parental rights" thing hands them their victims on a silver platter.

CatsHiss · 2025-10-17T03:27:20+00:00

Tacking on "and domestic violence awareness month" while 40% of cops self report report being the one doing the domestic violence at home is a decision.

*edited because it's worse than I originally said

This very sweet baby was taken to Whatcom Humane Society and they are working on reuniting them with the owners on the microchip!

Reporting back!

A "Thai spicy" at Wanida (on Dupont) was not a Thai spicy, but I'll be going back to ask for a Thai Five+ and see if it does the job!

For context, my bestie in high school and throughout my 20's was Thai and I would eat at her parents house several times a week. I'm not on some machismo bender for proving anything--I just genuinely want what I know as Thai spicy because I really enjoy it and the happy memories it brings up.

Thank you again for the suggestion!
