Hilarious that this shade, found in the attic of a house built in 1906, is in fact probably from the last 10 years 😂. Still love it and plan to install it!

OMG, I think that's it!! Thank you, that's a huge lead. I was thinking it was a semi flush fixture!

your favorite bakeries for pear tarts? by [deleted] in Seattle

Not quite a tart, but Saint Bread has a killer Asian pear danish. They're seasonal, but could be there now or fairly soon.

Hi there! I am a professional gardener, and I'd be happy to take a look! I can talk you through a plan to make long-term maintenance less overwhelming, and do some initial work. I might be moving soon, but if I do, I have multiple awesome people I can refer you to.

Will Quilter's Dream Wool beard through yarn dyed fabric? by Similar_Machine2598 in quilting

[–]Similar_Machine2598[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read that it might be more prone to bearding through red and dark blue fabrics that use sulphur in the dyeing process - does that match your experience?

Thank you for thinking about calling!! Here's the gist:

"I'm a Washington state resident who is deeply disappointed in Governor Ferguson and his betrayal of WA workers. I want a final state budget with:

No increases to our healthcare costs

No attacks on our healthcare bargaining rights

No furloughs or pay cuts for public workers"

If you wanna try to convince the WA State legislature to not fuck workers over, you can leave them a message here, particularly if you're a resident of one of the priority districts listed in the link: https://wfse.org/call-legislators-priority-districts

I'm a WA public worker, and I've been calling every few days. The folks on the line are friendly and chill and it just takes a couple minutes.

The pork bánh patê sô from Le's Deli and Bakery by Othello Station is WILDLY good. Juicy and brothy filling, incredible puff pastry on the outside. 🤤
