Charli XCX and Troye Sivan Serve Queer Euphoria at Tour’s End
Singer-songwriters Charli XCX and Troye Sivan played their final show right here in Seattle, WA. On October 23rd, 2024, the duo performed at the Climate Pledge Arena. The tour kicked off September 14, 2024, in Detroit, MI, making its way through the country with two stops in Canada. As a fan of both musical artists and their latest albums Brat and Something to Give Each Other, I got the fortunate opportunity to attend.
Northwest Sewn Leads Seattle in Textile Circularity Movement
Seattle is not often the first place that enters one’s mind in thinking about the fashion industry. When it comes to getting dressed, a casual style is widely accepted. The city has contributed greatly, however, to the business side of things. It is the headquarters of several world-renowned retailers with a legacy in local manufacturing, like Filson (est. 1897), Nordstrom (est. 1901), Eddie Bauer (est. 1920), and REI (est. 1937). Despite not being a fashion capital, even with so many “heritage brands,” Seattle is recognized as a creative city.
STANCE Levels Up Choir with Community, Talent, and Vibrance
Music is one of the ways in which we can bridge gaps between different communities, cultures, and peoples. Choir especially is a building block to creating wonderful community. Singing can be a vulnerable but rewarding experience, and sharing it with others is a great way to build confidence and bond with the people around you. Singing in an ensemble is the coming together of individual voices to create something whole, to bring a solo piece into a harmonic movement.
Literary Romance Opens Minds and Doors, Off- and Online
Despite being self-described as chronically online, I also spend a lot of time reading. I’ve been a big reader ever since I was a child. I loved it so much I read my way into an English Degree (just dropping my credentials). I love the romance genre, and thanks to social media, it’s a bit of a hot-button issue. Booktok, Bookstagram, Bookbook? Whichever platform you’re on, there's a community of readers discussing all kinds of genres; but it’s hard to get away from the conversation of romance if you love it or if you hate it, because that makes you engage.
Defining “Progressive” in Politics: P3 PAC Enters the Chat
When asked if wealthy people can truly call themselves “progressive,” former City Council candidate Alex Hudson stated her support by saying, “I would say that solidarity is not about what’s in your bank account, it’s about what’s in your heart. …We need to level up, we need to match our opponents and I think we have better ideas! I think we have more sound policies and…there’s more of us. And so we need the tools and resources to be able to build our movement, to sustain our movement beyond campaigns, and to communicate with voters. And that takes money. I think there’s a lot of people in Seattle who care about those things and share those values.”
The Pronoun Heard ‘Round the World
Pronouns matter. They have become a means to explore and expand the nature of identity in today’s culture; and, as history continually teaches us, culture is always ahead of politics (and, lest we forget, the arts are the vanguard of culture). The demographic shifts in the United States are changing the culture of our democracy—making it richer, more diverse, and more equal.

How Will We Meet Our Climate Goals?
We all want a safer, happier, more livable, equitable, and resilient city. And simply put, that won’t be possible if we don’t meet our climate goals. We all need to care about climate. And we should expect our leaders to do more than just talk about it. We should expect them to act on it—decisively and urgently—so that in just 6 years, when our 2030 targets come due, Seattle is ready.
Ranked Choice Voting in Washington’s Future
Politics isn’t showing any signs of becoming less polarizing and divisive. We need system reforms that change the conditions we vote in so that we can change the conditions we live in. The 2028 presidential primary will be here before we know it, and we deserve to be in a position to vote our respective truths knowing our voice will be heard in a meaningful way.
Heywood’s I-2109 is Wrong for Washington
If passed in November, I-2109 would slash over $5 billion from our schools, early learning, and childcare to give a tax cut to the very wealthiest.
NO on I-2124: Here’s Why
A lot of folks assume that their health insurance, or Medicare, will cover long-term care if we need it. They do not. The vast majority are unprepared financially to cover expenses of support should we need help with daily living tasks like dressing, bathing, getting around, managing meals, and medication.
