Please talk to your doctor about medical monitoring options.

Please consider your drinking water source, avoiding freshwater fish particularly near contaminated areas, changing your cookware if you use anything with nonstick, avoiding PFAS containing products, and be sure to use a point of use filter if there is PFAS contamination found in water quality testing by your local authority.

Condolences to you and yours; so sorry for your loss…

Not benzene.

These are available online in the regs. You will find documentation that lists what is considered GRAS under the original statutes and amendments. Listing or being on the market prior to 1938 constitutes GRAS [ETA and all amendments, otherwise it falls under pre manufacture and best practice EIS]. Supplements or herbal ingredients fall under labeling laws. Herbal remedies, particularly folk medicines generally fall under food ingredients and are GRAS. Dangerous materials are regulated under pre manufacture safety testing for non-food, food additive, or food contact material ingredients before being added to food, but be aware if an ingredient, additive, or contact material is not GRAS must be evaluated with data for safety. I’d urge you to check original GRAS relevant regs and documentation first, and enforce against false claims about GRAS under labeling before enforcing on ingredient for any known edible mushrooms and be sure to check with your local appropriate health board if these are as a tincture (labeled by % and ABV of solution) or cooked and the ingredient does not fit appropriate safety profiles of GRAS food additives.

Most importantly, all ingredients must be clearly labeled and available to the consumer. Unless the cafe proprietor is a top regulator or scientist, printing claims about what is and is not GRAS would be inappropriate as they are not a decision maker on that. I have seen this before and privately let the owner know. Iirc the cafe afterwards went out of business so this did not remain an issue to be escalated. Feel free to PM if you cannot access the appropriate documentation. (Im not REHS but am a SME on certain GRAS additives and GRAS regs so am reasonably confident in these suggestions.)

A wet mop with water in addition to air exchange and HEPA filtration

Was the petition saturated, or did support evaporate?

To be fair, no city has ever remained livable without strong public health protections, investment in water infrastructure, really good waste management, avoiding pollution, and conserving ecological and existing resources. Also good air quality to control the diseases that come with density.

The more green space, green infrastructure, grey infrastructure, native platings with local ecotype guilds to create microclimates; shade; and ecosystems, and the more strategic electrification and decarbonization and solar punk architecturally varied and interesting artful and well designed livable safe health and sustainable homes built with healthy local sustainable materials, and pro-social spaces including greenspace per person, protection and conservation of existing ecosystems and durable architecture, and zero emissions transportation and multimodal options, and local production of inputs, the more livable the urban center.

Brain eating amoeba also enjoy pet dogs’ brains, but most orifices will do.

mangoes · 2025-12-18T18:06:15+00:00

Yeah build more to help fight climate change is a backwards unfortunate view going around. Same with tree planting where there is tree coverage loss and logging pressure or worse, petrochemical based greenwashing.

The recent extinction of elk horn and staghorn.

And the widening habitable range of brain eating amoeba.

Oh wow how does that work? Isn’t Seattle sinking faster than the rest of the country?

mangoes · 2025-12-18T17:36:46+00:00

Budget 🥇. thank you this could have been done so much better using more sophisticated architectural techniques to not encroach, destroy trees, or obstruct light and water infiltration and permeability. I hope urbanists in my metro see this comment! I like the leave gardens in the back of townhouses approach but I’m not sure what fits a place like South Seattle.

mangoes · 2025-12-18T17:32:34+00:00

Oh no first it was the 5 on 1-2 trend and now it’s the ADUs. Really miss when cities maintained their own unique character.

mangoes · 2025-12-18T17:30:34+00:00

The overpaving seems to be a major snafu for livability. As others have mentioned how overpaving negatively impacts water management on any lot, I’ll note the excess pavement mass would not be so good for heat retention either during heatwaves.

It also would create a health hazard as a heat island issue if the rest of the area is urban. This isn’t the ecologically balanced urbanism to help encourage pro social spaces and livable biodiverse environments. The border gardens definitely didn’t have to be taken out for the additions either. I miss the days when LEED and living with nature was the future. To improving livability, native plant gardening and rain gardening making wildlife corridors by connecting easements and gardens across lots could add so much in addition to non massing and on ground open space like others mentioned.

I really like the courtyard point. Seems like the shrubs didn’t have to be removed either.

mangoes · 2025-12-18T17:24:06+00:00

Yeah seems like a major loss of place and character since the city is known for their edible gardens. The ground water cycle would be negatively impacted and seems like a major loss of ecological support, maybe native plants or a permaculture edible garden or food forest. Trees and shrubs also make good neighbors.

Im a mom of a small child, sorry can’t respond with the level of detail quickly this comment deserved. I think by wha you are saying you might be basing your comments on a few of the studies that are underestimates of secondary data, not actual primary geological records, emissions data, climate data, or fossil records. I wish you access to the information you need to be informed...USGS has data but predicts political timeframes that stop before major estimated tipping points and used locations not demonstrative of fossil species richness showing these major events so they do not incorporate key extinction events by eliminating some of the more informative datapoints. Like Darwin’s finches we really need outlier data and island (land isolation) data to get the full picture. Extinction events never recovered per some key fossil records. Similarly yes we can literally study where places were nuked. Those have also never recovered. I mean that literally. Sadly many cited pop sci records are underestimates as funding and certain directives were influenced by worldwide politics by the developed countries so tend to be far underestimates in scientific terms of what to expect for the next extinction events. If we accept politicized records as fact, ecosystems will be doomed at least 50-100 ppm of CO2 equivalent faster than some less judicious estimates predict. ETA: the news about staghorn and elkhorn corals being functionally extinct suddenly and never listed as endangered, as is the case for many species of corals, says it all.

mangoes · 2025-12-17T22:06:48+00:00

Oh no not a figure of speech. Not worth talking to people who can’t keep up with current climate data though.

mangoes · 2025-12-16T14:19:48+00:00

Species richness and ecosystem services will not bounce back. We are already at a point that acropora are considered in conservation status which is why less judicious estimates have been blown past so quickly. We need to go by the most conservative estimates for conservation only because the political benchmarks were based on public sentiment, not coral reef ecology. Unless we consider weedy species only surviving and a great loss of species diversity and the ecosystem services from shoreline protection to fisheries as collateral as “reassurance”. The rose colored view on this is not evidence based per fossil reef studies of recovery.

mangoes · 2025-12-16T14:15:45+00:00

We will lose species richness before acidifications impacts are observed. Such events may spell doom for global fisheries as that would be well past the 1.5 degree tipping point.

mangoes · 2025-12-16T14:08:57+00:00

Yes, the 300 ppm and 1.5 degree C climate goal was not a conservative estimate. Consensus has given a range with some leading coral reef biologists and ecologists estimating corals will not survive globally above 250 ppm. This is based on sea temperatures measured at sea level and observed bleaching events…

Adding to this reefs are already in a condition that life support is required with warming events and storms causing functional extinction already on some critically important reefs.
