Pins and needles...
Equal parts creative, contemplative, and observer of absurdities. Sometimes rude when necessary.

Pins and needles...
Lisa Wellington (@lwellington.bsky.social) reply parent
2pm announcement.....
Lisa Wellington (@lwellington.bsky.social) reply parent
Also, Paul, thank you for caring about encampments, housing crises, and the complexities of securing homes for people. And for not being cynical, just frustrated and realistic. I've seen encampments handled well and also poorly. Let's hope the task force in CA learns from their past attempts.
Lisa Wellington (@lwellington.bsky.social) reply parent
Deal with your grief and trauma and stop bleeding all over everyone. You are the kind of person who never sees anything good being done. Ever. It's never enough. You exhaust everyone. Fuck off yourself. You are not part of the solution. You're just a big thorn of negativity.
Lisa Wellington (@lwellington.bsky.social) reply parent
Let's hope you're wrong.
Lisa Wellington (@lwellington.bsky.social) reply parent
Well, all I can say is that I saw compassionate enforcement of laws on a daily basis for 24+ years. I'm a left-wing, art maj., single mom, right brained, progressive Dem. who worked in investigations and community health in support roles, in Law enf. I lived what you doubt exists.
Lisa Wellington (@lwellington.bsky.social) reply parent
Good for you, crazy horse. You know what you've seen. And I know what I've worked with in Lynnwood Up close and personal for years. So how about this: Keep doing your work and stop shitting on people who are on your side! Being a bitch is not helpful.
Lisa Wellington (@lwellington.bsky.social) reply parent
So there is no possibility that the way something was done in the past won't be improved in the future? Pretty cynical if you ask me. We dont have time for cynicism. Not helpful. At all.
Lisa Wellington (@lwellington.bsky.social) reply parent
The Boundaries are the laws and ordinances of cities/states that do not allow camping on specific properties. Compassion is how the enforcement is applied.
Lisa Wellington (@lwellington.bsky.social) reply parent
Actually, no, I'm more a Progressive Democrat. Always have been. Good try.
Lisa Wellington (@lwellington.bsky.social) reply parent
And it's Boundaries with Compassion, not Compassion with Boundaries.
Lisa Wellington (@lwellington.bsky.social) reply parent
And I say "we" because I'm a resident of the PNW, not because I live or work in Seattle.
Lisa Wellington (@lwellington.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes, nav teams were underfunded. And there is never enough space to place people. That's not the fault of the nav. Teams. Seattle could do hell of a lot better. If Gavin's program is done with compassion and support for the people, that would be exceptionally good.
Lisa Wellington (@lwellington.bsky.social) reply parent
Boundaries are obvious.
Lisa Wellington (@lwellington.bsky.social) reply parent
Untrue. Especially now.
Lisa Wellington (@lwellington.bsky.social) reply parent
I am not stupid. I worked in Community Health and Safety for 24 years. I've seen compassion in action regarding the issues surrounding homelessness.
Lisa Wellington (@lwellington.bsky.social) reply parent
In Seattle we used to have Navigation teams to come alongside encampment to help re house people. It was a compassionate way to actually help people. I Lynnwood Washington they "clear encampments" in similar and compassionate ways.
Lisa Wellington (@lwellington.bsky.social) reply parent
Compassion with boundaries.

Of course he doesn't need it. Nor does a real library exist. He will be out of office, if we have our way, and he'll have the stupid, dispicable plane. Do not freak out! Organize!!! Watch Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin.

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

Thank you for listening to that and reporting back. I had assumed he would have used the time to debate him, but apparently not. Looks like the influence of Newsom's former marriage to Guilfoyle is surfacing.
