@SeattleFire Very glad nobody was hurt! Also, when the fire alarm rings in this building (which is frequently) it buzzes loudly on the roof and can be heard for several blocks in the residential neighborhood. None of the other buildings or schools nearby seem to do this.

Crews are responding to reports of a fire in a residential building in the 1900 block of 22nd Ave S. Please avoid the area.

@clhubes I wish I had that - When I was pregnant with my second I developed an aversion to plain water. All of the sudden I could barely get it down unless I mixed it with something. It sadly did not fade quickly after he was born.

@emilykmay Pajamas? My oldest only napped consistently at that age when I brought her home and put her in PJs for it. My youngest… did that thing you don’t want to talk about.

My 2yo has skipped his nap 2 days in a row, but when he does nap it’s 2.5-3 hours. He is an absolute monster, when he does not nap. Need tips that do not under any circumstances include the phrase, “he’s giving up his nap.”

@DeanAstumian @DaHugnkiss @mhdksafa To me it’s about fear, you cant let the possibility of something bad happening stop you doing the things that are good and joyful.

@volodarik I just tried this on a specific weekend trip that I’ve been checking daily for over a week — it was at least 2x more in a private browser with cookies declined, compared to being signed in on the app. So it does show different prices, but not always in the direction expected.

13/ I've heard this one many times, but never tried. Who did? Any significant result? “When purchasing items on the internet (especially airline tickets), use incognito mode on your browser. We use your cookies against you: raising the price on tickets the more times you check, as you shop around for better deals. That way, you’ll think the price is going up or that seats are being actively sold – thus increasing your urgency to buy, and punishing you for trying to get a good deal.”

Sunday read. Been rounding up Reddit posts where ex-employees reveal “company secrets.” Here are some crazy ones: 1/ “Glassdoor removes job reviews and lets employers choose which ones get shown first!”

A lot of things that used to bring me joy don’t anymore. I’m grown and changed. Letting go of them is still hard for me even when I know it’s time. Today I’m trying to write down 5 things I need to let go of. Make it real.

RT @mollymcnearney: Sorry I didn’t respond to your email. I read it at a stoplight taking my kids to school and remembered it 4 months late…

@ShannonJCurtin We have several area codes on our family plan. The most recent addition is one that was seemingly randomly assigned, and matches none of the others on the plan *shrug*

My husband and I are still on our respective family's cell phone plans. When we eventually have to get phones for the kids do we start our own plan? Or do we pass down our childhood area codes like a 21st century legacy item?

RT @KSeattleWeather: Today marks the final pre-5 pm sunset until November. Hallelujah!

@killersumobunny A thrift store regular once told me never donate where you shop. He might have used slightly more colorful language.

@JenaFriedman I got hydrogel sheets from the hospital with my first. Totally amazing. I got some over the counter ones for my second, but they weren’t nearly as good as the cut-it-yourself sheet from the hospital. I think it was technically burn dressing, maybe.

Did any of you breastfeed exclusively? And if so, HOW? Did you just suck up the pain of bloody, cracked nipples until they acclimated? I don’t want to relegate these questions to a mom blog, I want men who follow me on here to get that this shit is so incredibly hard.

No. Current AQI: ~250 Time until it starts raining: ~24 hours

i want more "run errands with me" friends. no i do not want to spend $85 on a dinner to catch up. but i will go to costco and an estate sale with you and then some tacos

@revhowardarson I’m in Seattle, but you don’t know me. 🤷‍♀️

@rodhilton I just noticed that it is really bad today, maybe just because I’ve been on more looking for info about the teacher strike. But I can’t get away from it to find anything that anyone I actually know posted. I’ve resorted to just searching for my groups, and missing the rest.

Effective immediately, Seattle & King County Fire Marshals in coordination with local jurisdictions have issued a Stage 2 BURN BAN on all outdoor recreational fires throughout King County. fireline.seattle.gov/2022/09/09/sta…

@jules_hardee @clhubes I had this too, smelling natural gas all the time and from too far away, but hadn’t put it together as a pregnancy change until just now. But it makes sense, my first real pregnancy symptom was me being shocking overwhelmed by the smell of peppermint.

@amykaycannon @clhubes Oh! I forgot that one. While I was pregnant with my first, an eyelash grew in the middle of my eyelid. Cute, real cute. And then — extra cute — it kept getting infected until it finally stayed away after a determined campaign of plucking and some minor eyelid surgery 😭
