Finally home safe, and though I went to the liberal parade today it was still a weighty day.

It takes all kinds so I definitely don't want to tell the #NoKings crowd -not- to do symbolic protests but fuck, I'm racked with angst rn.

It's reported that over 70,000 people marched in the #Seattle anti-trump parade today.

Meanwhile in Tukwila only 200 people showed up to materially stop deportations. They tied up DHS, cops and ICE for the entire day.

Just 200 people.

Tukwila WA, a few miles south of Seattle local cops and federal agents faced off with activist. Cops deployed teargas and pepper spray which wafts in the background. A cop with pepper ball paint-ball gun stands pointing it at someone off screen. In the middle several officers forcefully shove or grab a person on the ground to detain them. A crowd of protesters stands in the background helping others to their feet

We are going to be traveling to #Portland#Oregon at the end of the month. Do you have any recommendations for any of the following?

1) A good #vegan or #vegetarian place? (Esp. South Asian and East Asian)

2) A good, cozy #coffee shop / cafe?

3 Good #tea shops?

4) A good #bakery ?

and a bonus question -

4) Any activity that might be good for a very curious nine-month old?

We really like the city and are looking forward to our trip!

Some results from a week of there being a meshcore repeater on Cougar mountain.

A lot of us can now hear around 80 radios throughout the Seattle / Tacoma region.

The public chat channel is extremely busy at various times throughout the day.

I've been able to DM people in Tacoma and connect to their chat servers all the way from Seattle.

Some routes are extremely stable, meanwhile others are more flaky. It's super exciting!

I think the best thing about the home made nodes I've been using is that it's durable enough to carry almost daily. But flexible enough that I can do tons of experiments with external antennas and temporary installations in client mode or repeater.

The big one especially has crazy battery life and can run all week.

The other thing that rocks about this build is that it can be assembled with no soldering so its about as noob friendly as DIY hardware gets.

#MutualAidRequest I'd like to build a dozen of these LoRa radios to teach people and write a complete review of meshcore in Seattle.

It'd be nice to be able give away a few to people who can't afford to buy the parts themselves.

$45 / $600

So feel free to throw a few bucks at me so I can scale up my LoRa expirements.
