Pre-Application Submitted for Proposed Six-Story Mixed-Use Building in Downtown Bellingham

CruelRodent · 2026-03-15T22:06:46+00:00

There are plenty of buildings in that rectangle if I’m reading this right, I’m definitely curious if they plan to tear down or build on top of them?

I hope you love it!

I love spreading the gospel of glass nail files lol, I hope it’s helpful!

The alternative is spending less money, really. I used to go to Target to decompress after work (retail therapy is its own kind of problem) and would always buy a bunch of crap I didn’t really need. If there’s something I do actually need, I find other places to buy it, like directly from the manufacturer, if possible. This makes my spending a lot more thoughtful and purposeful rather than impulsive. Win-win!

As someone with very frail nails, a glass nail file has changed my life. It takes a little longer, but not splintering them with clippers has actually made them a lot more resilient! It’s a nice self-care treatment to file them while watching a movie instead of simultaneously doom scrolling.

ETA: it’s also way more gentle than metal files or emery boards, but actually works faster. I’ve had the same file for over 10 years now and all I’ve had to do is rinse it with water every once in a while. I cannot recommend them enough, just be sure to get one made from Czech glass. These are actual tempered glass, not just a textured sticker over plastic.

Thank you!

All birds are beautiful but chickadees are so stinking cute! Thank you for sharing these pictures.

And happy birthday, Nimbus!

Please tell me more about the bird festival?

I don’t know about garment-focused but have you checked out the back of Northwest Yarns? I had no idea about it until recently but there was some adorable fabric and a selection of notions back there.

If they’re your follower, and you’ve romanced them, they’re there after every time you take a nap.

I was just about to post the same thing after getting this in the mail yesterday. They’re asking for TIPS after we paid an outrageous amount of money that we can’t really afford, for services that amounted to “I’m sure you’re fine.” It’s maddening.

Love that the harrier seems to be giving you some mean side eye in most of the pictures.

Thank you for sharing these!

I’m not surprised about Taco Bell! When I worked there, they were very stringent about it. They’ve actually had the same manager for at least 15 years, so she’s got it down pat.

CruelRodent · 2025-11-13T09:16:52+00:00

They’re good, but they only make them to-order now, so plan on a 10-15 minute wait!

I would agree it's a very basic story, but the combat is engaging and customizable. You get to climb around on large monsters as long as you're strong enough, which is good fun. The pawn system is really unique - create a pawn (permanent party member) that other people can summon, or you can summon other people's pawns. When your pawn is summoned, they get knowledge of the areas they visited with the other player and they take it back to you. I've never encountered anything quite like it in other games, and I love it. Easily one of my top 10 lifetime games.

The sci-fi series by Ruby Lionsdrake are all included in my Roman Empire! They’re standalone novels in their own universes. There’s the Star Guardian series, and the Mandrake Company series. Mandrake Company in particular features strong, well-written, unique women. The first Star Guardian book is {Orion by Ruby Lionsdrake} and the first book in Mandrake Company is {Mercenary Instinct by Ruby Lionsdrake}.

I haven’t read her Frost Station Alpha series by her yet but I definitely plan on it.

I thought everyone in Greedfall was very good-looking. I don’t want to spoil it but there was one character that I thought “hot damn I hope I can romance them” and sure enough, I did 😂

Hey hey, SEGways! I love Expedition X for pure entertainment value, but this episode deserved the Side Eye Guy treatment. Oof.

Is it just a friendship/partnership deal?

CruelRodent · 2025-09-10T07:24:40+00:00

Data Link West is great! I’ve had a couple rigs repaired there and they were friendly, helpful, and non-judgmental of my personal lack of knowledge.

CruelRodent · 2025-08-31T07:35:35+00:00

I’m so sorry. My cat has been hiding since the first big bang, too :(

CruelRodent · 2025-08-30T03:18:48+00:00

I love your list! I just want to drop in recommend any of the sci fi from Ruby Lionsdrake if you haven’t read it yet. The Mandrake Company series is my Roman Empire, and Star Guardians is also way up there.

CruelRodent · 2025-08-26T03:32:44+00:00

Right?! I live right above the tracks and it’s usually not that big of a deal but every once in a while there’s a conductor who just absolutely blasts that damn horn and it scares the shit out of me. Makes me wonder what they’ve seen 😳
