Teachers with Pride Still Have to Hide
Gay schoolteachers wearing masks at parade, June 28, 1986
In this image, Seattle schoolteachers participating in the Gay Freedom Day parade through the Capitol Hill neighborhood hold a banner reading "Teachers with Pride Still Have to Hide," and wear masks to protest the discrimination they have felt. An estimated 10,000 people participated in the event, which is part of Seattle's annual Gay Pride Week.

Yesterday I had an edit most of the day while Kimmer dealt with our stuff at the house. As in arranging furniture. As in putting everything where it needs to go. As in taking things to storage. As in donating stuff to Value Village.
She was gonna come down to the apartment in the morning... but had quite enough to do.
As for me, this was my almost first commute day to work. This time, Kimmer drove me to about a block from the Transit Center. It was around ten and, because of construction, traffic was pretty jugged up right there.
No worries, though. I walked the remaining block or so, found my stop, waited fifteen minutes and was on my way. Halfway through, I'm off the bus, up the escalator, onto the light rail and BAM. The light rail takes off moments after I take a seat. Near as I can tell, the bus/light rail combo gets me from Lynnwood to the U-district in a little over half an hour.
After the day's edit, four thirty in the afternoon I'm walking down to Hec Ed. Twenty minutes later I'm on Cap Hill for one last walkabout.
One last walkabout?
Sure. You see, when we first moved to Cap Hill, I took all kinds of routes to the light rail station. And each of those routes brought me across all kinds of scenes. So along the way, each time I walked a different path, I'd take photos of whatever caught my eye. That's not super different, of course, from any other day of my life... it's just that there's a lot of uniqueness that abounds on the hill. Especially when you're really looking.
Tiny figurines placed in a flower bed. Stickers slapped onto the backs of traffic signs. Tucked away corners of life. Architecture. Flowers. Hidden pathways. Statuary. A particular creative vibe that's different. And everywhere. And it seemed a lovely bookend to take one more walk, hit all the highlights of my memory, as it were. I think I spent maybe an hour criss-crossing the neighborhoods between the light rail station and the apartment.
By the time I landed back at the apartment, it was around six in the evening. Also around the time Linzy showed up to do her cleaning magic. And while she was doing that, I got on the phone with Xfinity to untangle some pretty tangled questions. They did very well, by the way. 😊
After that, Linzy 'n I started loading all the small, awkward items Kimmer'd previously lined up in the apartment... out of the apartment, to the elevator, out the elevator, to the minivan, about half the time one at a time.
Because they were small but awkward.
By 'n by, Kimmer joins us with some peach wine and we toast a bunch, and we hang out a bunch and, before Linzy's on her way for the last time, she takes our final family photograph in our apartment, on the glass enclosed balcony with the city behind us.
The rest of the night's more moving of small, awkward stuff, then boxes, and then at some point the super got the building's cart out for us which made the whole endeavor so much easier and faster. Right now there's a couple other's moving out of the building and one of them hit me up for a heads up when we're done with the cart. That never came to pass, though. Before we were close to done for the night, they managed their furniture and stuff out of their place using a kid's wagon. A pretty big and sturdy one. The wagon... not the kid. 😉
Toward the end of the night, we had a futon mattress to load over the top of everything else we loaded into the minivan. It was a completely awkward exercise that's probably best they don't make couples do as proof of their compatibility. At the end of the day. Without a substantial meal in the past six hours.
We did get it all done, though.
By about quarter to midnight.
And when we got to the house coming up on 12:30AM Wednesday morning... we were like NOPE. We'll just leave everything in the cars and go to bed.
Which. We. Did.

Are your knives in need of some TLC?
Well, then check out my website for pricing and bookings!
Thank you for all the support! I am flabbergasted by the outpour of interest and kindness.

Part 2
So we'd moved to an apartment in Cap Hill intending to stay there a few months so as not to lose the deposit when Linzy moved out.
Just.
Until the lease ran out.
But then it was such a perfect location for the airport, for Pub70 on the waterfront, for walks along the west shore of Lake Union, for walks along Myrtle Edwards Park from the Expedia Group building to...
Pub70.
For neighborhood walks to St. Marks and back, for Top Pot Donuts, Cafe Barjot and their lemon crepes, for Tapster and that food truck that used to be out front serving the mouth watering delicious and authentic Mexican food. For the movie theaters downtown only one light rail stop away. And for shaving at least an hour off our commute to work times .
That's one way, folks.
We lived there four years, one month, and a bit of a week. Definitely well more than the few months we intended.
Of course...
Of course we didn't live in our apartment for four years, one month, and a bit of a week. We lived in the apartment for one year and eight months. We lived there for one year and seven months when, one day, Kimmer wondered what was available on the upper floors. So she asks the building maintenance guys who are usually around and they show her three units, if I'm remembering right. Two on the fifth floor, one on the sixth. Or maybe it's the other way around: one on the fifth, two on the sixth.
Or maybe it was just one available unit on each floor.
Whichever it is, I'm at work while this is happening. On my way home, though, is when I get the call filling me in on the possibilities and wondering when exactly I'm gonna be home 'cause we're about to go looking at apartments. Which we did, by the way.
Just as soon as I got home.
Now, even though this was a thoroughly abrupt plot twist, the call was an incredibly easy one to make once we were shown the corner unit on the fifth floor with the additional set of windows. Plus...
They'd give us the month to move in. We wouldn't have to pay for the month... and we'd have access to move our belongings from the apartment in which we were living at the time to this new one. Basically, for this one month we had two apartments.
One more time:
Basically.
For this one month.
We had two apartments.
The month we were given made the move a piece of cake as we took the entire month to move bit by bit. Linzy's birthday was that month and we held a pop-over breakfast party there for she and a few of her friends. And then for Thanksgiving...
We had two ovens.
Only time that's ever happened.
That second oven does comes in super handy I'll tell you that.
So.
After a year and eight months we were still living in the same building... just in a different apartment a few floors up.
Which is where we've been to this day.
🙂

STOP BLAMING TIKTAALIK FOR OUR SOCIETAL ISSUES
YOU DO NOT SEE LIZARDS OR CATS OR WOLVES OR LITTLE CUTE BIRDS MAKING THEIR OWN FUCKED UP CAPITALISM PROBLEMS
THATS ON A BUNCH OF GREEDY DISGUSTING SELF CENTERED HUMANS WHO WOULD FORSAKE COMPASSION FOR OTHERS AND THEIR PLANET FOR STUPID PIECES OF PAPER THAT HAVE BEEN ARTIFICIALLY ASSIGNED VALUE BY US
SO LEAVE HER ALONE‼️
