Sometimes it pays to take a bike to a downtown meeting once in a while. This is what I captured on the way home. . . *** #seattlewa #seattlefireboat #nauticallife #ebike #seattlesunset #paintedskies #leschi #seattlefire #onthewater #pugetsound (at Seattle Waterfront) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWrAC8ghtA-/?utm_medium=tumblr

Went over to one of my favorite neighborhoods in Seattle to meet a friend. I wish I could sail.

Did you know Facebook Messenger & Instagram direct messaging are merging chat features? 🗣️ Supposedly it will enable shared messaging across the two platforms ↔️ and will integrate other aspects, like video calls, watch together and vanish mode. 📱 I don't use the Messenger app. 📲 I didn’t like the idea of Facebook knowing my whereabouts 24/7 or gleaning information about me based on my phone. I don’t use Facebook on my phone, but I do use it for Instagram. When the messaging features on both platforms merge, I wonder how much more they will know about everyone? 📊 According to a post on The Conversation, the merger means Facebook and Instagram won’t be separate platforms even though they’ll exist as separate apps. And it also means Facebook will have access to a vast amount of personal data from the shared database. And Facebook also plans to integrate WhatsApp! 🔍 Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp are free to use. Insta friends @cathleenlawless and @aeroems have both talked about The Social Dilemma on Netflix. I haven’t seen it but I understand how “free” isn’t free. 💵 We pay for the use of these platforms by giving them information about ourselves based on what we post, what we like, who we interact with and what we say. 😱 The merging of chat across platforms is enough to make many people feel uneasy. I love social media. It’s sad how it’s evolving. 🙁 Would you say goodbye to social media 🤳 because of its predatory practices?

Downtown Seattle from Mt.Baker neighborhood

The Puget Sound War (1855-56) started as a treaty dispute and ended in the execution of an innocent Chief Leschi (of the Nisqually) and the murder of his brother, Quiemuth. The Puget Sound is a waterway in the southern Salish Sea (pictured above), and was frequently travelled by these Central Coast Salish families and neighbouring nations such as the Haida (who were still executing raids while this war took place).

Native American Netroots describes the war from the Indigenous perspective. Let us never forget that American leaders continuously advocated for extermination and labelled Indigenous peoples as “hostile” to justify the genocide. When two Settlers died in the Battle of Seattle, Governor Stevens’ encouragement led American volunteers to hunt down and slaughter Indigenous women and children.

Honourable mentions:

This entry in Omitted History is good, but I hesitated to include it because in the conclusion Indigenous peoples are referred to as the “previous inhabitants of what many of us call our home.” Without diving too deep into language and how it affects thought, suffice it to say that Indigenous people are the original inhabitants of our lands. We live on what continues to be their traditional territories, often unceded through treaties. To say “previous” suggests that they don’t exist today, which is 100% false.

Thurston Talk published an article examining the white men who may have murdered Quiemuth, but in a light-hearted way that sums up the period as: “There was a lot of violence in these early years.” That’s what we call white-washing history.
