Millie is still hanging around Greenlake and still looks to be doing well.

I’m trying to find a good local option for getting testosterone levels checked and actually talking through the results. I’ve heard a lot of mixed things about regular PCP visits for this. Some people seem to get bloodwork done but don’t really get much explanation beyond “your numbers are normal.” For anyone in Bellevue or the Eastside who has looked into low T, TRT, or general men’s health, where did you go? Main things I care about are: Actually taking the time to explain the bloodwork Not immediately pushing treatment Reasonable pricing Good follow-up if you do end up starting treatment

Recently commented under a post in r/Seattle about new proposed legislation regarding trans sports (extremely hot topic, so I treaded with caution). I responded respectfully and shared that I don’t think it should be male/female since identification of gender does not affect performance, and that sports should be XX vs XY chromosomes (citing this NIH article). I love and respect everyone, and was promptly told I belonged on a Chris Hansen special, was accused of cops needing to search my computer, and was banned and muted for being transphobic, despite my opinion being one I’ve shared with friends in the trans community and being about the science and nothing to do with the identity. Was I in the wrong? I’m genuinely open to having my opinion challenged, but I don’t see how what I said was at all hateful. I’m not trying to stir anything up, but their reactions felt incredibly heated and misplaced.

Hey all, I know it's last minute but if anyone wants to support the Ballard food bank by donating to my friends food drive that she's doing as a school project and to help the community, this is the last day it's going and we've only had three people donate. If anyone has the time or resources, we'd super appreciate a donation!

The free little library just a little bit up the street from Clark Lake Park was down for renovations and when it came back up, it was such a cute upgrade! They did a great job. It looks so good inside and out and it has some great stuff in there.​

Just want to give a shoutout to all of the council that voted to help residents avoid ridiculous additional affordable housing fees when trying to repair or fix up a home. It seemed like a no brainer, but of course, the two without brains (IMO) wanted to keep the fees in place for everyone else. Will be good when those two give up the bit and realize they’re never getting penthouse suites in the TC.

Are there any weekly chess clubs or meetups in Bellevue? I heard crossroads mall has a chess meet every first Friday of the month but is are there more frequent meets? All other info I’m able to find seems to be outdated. Thank you for your time and input!

Has anyone ever attended the Write in the Harbor conference that I believe is hosted by TCC? Was it valuable/worth the time? What kind of workshops did you take? I’ve never attended before but have been curious about it. Their Early Bird pricing ends soon (9/18) and they don’t yet have a workshop schedule up which makes it hard for me to know what is being offered. Any insights to previous years would be appreciated!

It appears thieves have stolen the master key for 98136 and 98126. My home in 98136 (Gatewood) was hit on 8/27 and 9/3 between midnight and 2:00am, and they are definitely opening the box with the key. Our postal worker informed us that mail workers are being assaulted for their keys, mail trucks are being broken into, and sometimes people will get a job at USPS to get the key and quit. Our postal worker confirmed which zip codes are affected, and said it will most likely take awhile for all locks to be re-set within these zip codes. If you have a locked mailbox with a master key, it may be worthwhile to collect your mail daily.
