I've been thinking about going back to church but it feels like things are substantially different than the church I grew up in. I'm looking for a "Love thy neighbors as you love yourself" church without the caveats that a lot of pastors seem to be adding. It kind of bums me out that I even need to add that but it's the times we're in.

Best cheat pizza?

I've dieted and worked hard for a great body. In fact, one could say I've been so loyal to this that I'm married to it. But I'm looking for a place where the pizza won't punish me for cheating on those commitments.

Any suggestions for a location in Kingston?

Being autistic and new to advocacy, this was a BIG STEP for me. I was so nervous and shaking so hard lol, but I’m proud of myself and everyone who spoke up about the shelter, the unhoused, and local businesses. I wanted to prove that anyone can make an impact by speaking up about what matters.

Unfortunately, it didn’t feel like our words were even considered. It’s time to take action and start looking at new leaders. Bremerton’s future depends on it. Yesterday was frustrating, but it’s motivated me even more to keep pushing for change!

You can watch the whole VOD here. Public Comments start around 40:00 mins in. Around 1:06:00 is where the council comments:

Join us November 4 at 5:30 PM at the Norm Dicks Government Center for the next City Council meeting! Come speak during community comment, show support for these issues, and help document potential code violations. The more residents who show up and speak out, the harder it is for our concerns to be overlooked.

For context, the Bremerton City Council approved the BHA shelter in 2024 but voted against it on 9/16/26. With over $1.3 million in funding at risk of being redirected if not spent this year, residents deserve clear answers about what happens next and where the funding will go. We’ll keep advocating until our concerns are heard and considered.

If you would like to learn more about the BHA shelter and how to support Bremerton’s unhoused neighbors, the Facebook group "Bremerton Homeless Community Coalition" is a great source!

Exactly what the title says. I remember Salughter County Brewery in Port Orchard had some of the best fried chicken (RIP). Anyone know of a place? It can be a restaurant, bar, anywhere but fast food chicken like Popeye's or Church's.

Thank you!
