Work on the Westlake Park Playground has begun. Soon, bums will have something new to urinate on, and you too will be able to buy crack from the bottom of a sliding board. Update: Photos taken on March 1, 2013:

Democrats … Republicans … Tea Partiers … Batshits … Wingnuts … Screwballs … Good God is it any wonder why this country is one flush away from joining the Roman Empire at the bottom of the civilization septic tank? When the corrupt government’s main opposition is retarded fucksticks like the douchejockeys pictured above,...

These photos were taken this morning in Westlake Park, where a series of new statues have been installed. I rather like them.

Last week I mentioned a website transition, and it looks like that transition is going to happen tomorrow and Saturday. So, what’s taking so long? Well, it’s been a busy week. On Sunday, I stood with my sisters to protest the misogynist scourge that is the sub-4 cubic foot cardboard box. On Monday, I ventured to the center of Lake Washington where I...

We’re Here! We’re Queer! We’re Medium Large Over 4 1/2 cubic feet! Get used to it. Who says that women don’t know how to make effective protest...

I’ve been having a running argument in my forums with a guy over gun rights. He thinks all guns should be taken away from people, and I think that everyone needs to be their own police officers. Today, courtesy of the SPD, my own stance was hardened. As I was filming a “War on Women Rally” (more on that later), I heard a commotion coming from...

Remember when life didn’t suck? Yeah, me either. I try, though, oh how I try, and lately, I’ve found that there’s something contagious about the boundless optimism that is exhibited within the context of a flash mob. Especially the flash mob I witnessed today. Last year, I recorded the 2011 Glee Flash Mob as it made its way form Capitol Hill,...

Today, I played soccer with a dog. Sort of. Shortly after the St. Patrick’s Day Parade wrapped up, I made my way over to Westlake Park, and when I got there, I encountered a dog dressed in a Seattle Sounders jersey playing soccer with his master. Now, when I say “playing soccer”, I clearly don’t mean that the man and the dog were playing...

It seems like only yesterday I was hanging out in Westlake Park, enjoying Christmas in 2010. Here it is … 2011 … and I’m once again celebrating in exactly the same way. Running around looking at Christmas lights. Why mess with success? Now that I have a family, I really enjoy this time of year. I don’t think I’ve ever gone into details about...

Of delicious donuts! Although I’ve greatly reduced my intake of refined sugar products, tonight, I gave into temptation. I dropped $5 at the Westlake mini-donut stand, and I’m glad I did. Each bag of donuts contains roughly 15 sugar-covered donuts, they are handed to you fresh and warm, and they taste quite good. If you have yet to try the stand,...

Earlier this evening, myself and the extended family headed out to enjoy Downtown Seattle on the first weekend of the Christmas season. We started off at the Pike Place Market Tree Lighting Festival, and after getting some food at the market, we headed over to Westlake Park to ride their holiday carousel. Now, before going any further, I should probably note...

Beginning in January, I begin counting the days until November arrives. The point at which Christmas decorations are trotted out is, was, and probably always will be my favorite time of year. As an agnostic/atheist/whatever, one would think that I should hate all this stuff, but I don’t. I’m an absolute sucker for the aesthetic of the season. ...

It looks like Occupy Seattle is all but over. At least as far as Westlake Park is concerned. I went by Westlake Park today and the cops outnumbered the protesters. There were maybe a couple dozen people still standing around with signs and about 40 cops making sure those numbers did not grow. I hate to say it, but victory is theirs. The corporations, the...

Download Video: MP4 Things got real this afternoon as about a thousand people descended on Downtown Seattle in the largest single turnout for Occupy Seattle since the beginning of the campaign. For the first time, I am very cautiously optimistic that this could be the beginning of a snowball. I’m starting to have a minute shred of...

I headed over to Westlake Park this afternoon to catch the beginning of today’s march. I shot the video below:

The occupation of Seattle continues, and it’s been growing at a steady clip. I drop by Westlake Park once or twice per day to lend my moral support, and I took these shots about 15 minutes ago. There will be a march to City Hall at 4:00pm or thereabouts. If you’re thinking about driving Downtown this afternoon, think again. Hopefully these rallies...

The Westlake occupation grew from 6 tents to several dozen tents over the past three days. Today, the SPD kicked tents out of Westlake Park and sent garbage trucks through to clear people out. Parts of 4th Avenue were temporarily closed during the sweep and 25 people were arrested. Occupy Seattle Demonstrators vow to return to Westlake and camp sans-tents. One...
