The one thing I was most surprised to discover in writing a gay BDSM romance novel was that there does not seem to have ever been, in real life, an actual gay bar called The Ball Pit.
Just offering this observation apropos of nothing.
With Capitol Hill Dick's in background, four people playing in flesh-colored ball pit mixed with small curly hairs as woman throws a ball that obviously had something sticky on it

“It was founded sometime around the 1920s or 1950s.”
Yes, it still needs to be approved by the House. But Gov. Ferguson saying he'll pass it as it is now really makes it a lot easier for them to do that. Still pressure your reps to vote for it if you're not sure. I know mine are all doing the right thing.
I have friends everywhere
Millionaire Tax + K-12 Free School Lunches = 🙌
BIG Millionaires Tax updates! #WALeg
- New version of the bill has been released (more details below)
- @governorferguson.bsky.social now says he will sign it!
- Calls to @housedemocrats.wa.gov in support are pouring in as they whip votes
But the Governor doesn't pass bills, the #WALeg does, so we need all the help we can get to call House members and demand they vote for this bill this year.
We've made it easy to do that with our page that will find your members and connect your call directly to their offices:
THANK YOU SO MUCH - ALRIGHT! 🙌
That the removal of a corporate tax break which would have cost the state $550M survives in this final income tax proposal is great news for everyday people of our state. As more Washingtonians make use of popular programs, we must continue pressing the issue of taxing corporate and personal wealth.
🚨🗣️TAKE ACTION NOW: send an email to your legislators urging them to support the Millionaires Tax so we can fund education, health care, and child care. Let’s get this win for working families! #WAleg

Sure, you can gamble on your phone from the comfort of your couch. But only at River Side Casino can you get the gut-punch of a humiliating loss in a public forum.

Power pop president Trump wants us to want him, but, frankly, launching a full-scale war with Iran to pump up his numbers seems like a cheap trick.

At a minimum!
I knoooo I've been meaning to get a custom initial stamp and start using them.
This is giving life to all the cranky, old-time organizers.
Nobody answers texts, phone calls or emails anymore.
There is no such thing as a safe online platform.
We're back to face-to-face for everything!
Might as well be 1848.
Or 1648.
Exactly! I'm sorry but anything you really want to keep under wraps has to be done the analog old-fashioned way. It's naïve to involve technology at all anymore.
