Last summer, one of KUOW's Book Club selections was Seattle author Ijeoma Oluo’s 2024 bestseller, Be a Revolution: How Everyday People Are Fighting Oppression and Changing the World – and How You Can, Too. In it, Oluo shows how people across the nation are creating positive change for racial equity within our most important systems – like the media, policing, education, and many more. The aim of the book is educational, but also to inspire direct action from its readers. In the revolutionary spirit of Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy, here's KUOW's Katie Campbell's conversation with Ijeoma Oluo. We can only make Seattle Now because listeners support us.

feel free to celebrate-but not everyone is happy this. FW Residents were told it'd be quiet (we knew that wasn't true). waking up often because of noise + the ground vibrating. it messes negatively with your health? yep The new people in the area? yep. increased vehicle theft? yep. people walking out from bay 11, (no crosswalk), and nearly get hit by cars? yep. people sleeping on residents decks? yep. but who cares, someone gets to check the "complete" box and list it on their resumé.

In short, dog whistle sounds—whether training tools, natural dog vocal range, or decoded by dog translators—are a mix of science and communication. They’re how dogs “talk” in ways we’re only starting to grasp. https://www.dogwhistlings.com
