DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS: Readers, I apologize. I try to be ruthlessly fact-based around here.
We live in a world of disinformation and half-truths, mostly by accident, because everyone is reporting at a remove, so extra care and consideration is required when covering politically explosive events.
For instance, I am in Alabama responding to a firehose of information from Port Townsend, Washington, where a rabid crowd of gender cultists assailed a group of women trying to hold a press conference on Monday.
The women were supporting Julie Jaman, an 80 year-old woman who was banned from her city pool, which is managed by the YMCA, after she refused to shower or change in front of a man.
After further video analysis, it is time to clarify that the anonymous man with the noose-like rope was in fact holding a dog leash when he helped “kettle” and assault Julie and a group of women for the crime of not wanting men to watch them shower at the YMCA.
On behalf of The Distance I would like to apologize to the dog, who is reportedly a very good boy, for any misperceptions incurred in our prior reporting about the behavior of his human.
Women struggling to maintain a perimeter against the mob of angry men trying to crush them against a brick wall can also be heard praising the pooch for his calm demeanor and patience.
Whatever his human’s intentions were, the dog has character references. “I forget the dog’s name,” a Twitter user acquainted with the animal has told The Distance. “But he's travelled all over the country…for about 2 years” with his companion human.
Pretty sure the pup was a stray and he decided to take care of him. Wanna say it was in Cali where he found him. But thats why id imagine the dog is so chill. Pups from the streets.




The dog was certainly much better behaved than many of the humans on the scene. An arrest has already been made and further reporting on that story is developing here at The Distance.
At the instigation of Mayor David J. Faber, who later bragged about his accomplishment on Twitter, the crowd stole property, including a woman’s shoe, destroyed or damaged other property, and put on strangely dog-like performances.
In the following video clip, a young man appears to be in dire need of de-worming. Some other witnesses at the scene have called this person out for exceptionally aggressive and unhinged behavior.
Now, when I explained why dogs rub their butts on the ground to my five-year old niece who liked to play “dog” for hours, she was so delighted the she started dragging her hindquarters, just like this grown man rubbing his ass on the pavement, until her pants wore out.
Unlike this man, however, she did not attempt to confiscate anyone’s shoes or crawl between their legs or violate women’s boundaries.
My niece eventually grew up and got over her inner dog-being. A lot of poor kids in this country are going to be castrated, sterilized, and hobbled by osteoporosis in their 30s because supposed adults indulged magical thinking about human biological development to project their anxieties about “gender” onto their children.
Mayor Faber is reportedly very kinky and also very hip to the transient community. He is suitably progressive and caring about strays, an avowed YIMBY.
Readers may be unfamiliar with this neologism. In wokespeak, the acronym “yes in my backyard,” or YIMBY, is the virtue signal of positive progressive activism in the bluest of states.
For instance, those left-coast bits of the country where the Church of Latter-Day Genders is strong and Democrats rule statehouses, yet homelessness is somehow still endemic and housing prices insane.
YIMBYs have a plan to fix it all — right in their own backyards.
What they aim to do is to kill capitalism harder, as in, “we can let the town’s promising and popular youth center deteriorate into a homeless hangout in my backyard.”
I wish I was making that part up. It’s not made-up at all. Mayor Faber has done exactly that thing.
Now Faber aims to keep the Port Townsend city pool an “inclusive place,” meaning that men are allowed to watch women shower and girls pee, and also walk around naked in front of women and girls who are naked.
Again, I wish I was making that up. Again, I am not. Faber is doing for women and girls in his community what he has already accomplished for the town’s youth. Hooray?
Subsequent to our reporting on doggo and his stray human, it was pointed out on Twitter that the noose-like rope in his owner’s hand was in fact his leash.
Apparently, this is what his human prefers to use for handling him, and it was not a noose intended to terrorize a black woman who was participating in the press conference.
Left unexplained is why we are supposed to see a white man waving a noose-like rope in the presence of a black woman and determine, objectively, that it is “just a leash” when we are also supposed to see a man and suspend our objective conclusion that he is a man, even if he has his erect penis out.
If “trans women are women,” then a rope loop is a noose. Objectivity is objectivity.



After all, this entire public relations disaster for Port Townsend is about 80 year-old Julie Jaman, who was banned from the pool for objecting to a man in the shower area while she was naked.
At the time, Clementine Adams, an intact man, was supervising “four or five” little girls strip out of their their swimsuits to pee.
As Jaman is a human female, and not a psychic, she was unable to detect Clementine’s magic inner gender-essence. She only detected a man, as female members of her species have evolved to do, and reacted accordingly.
(Dogs are also transphobic this way. The more you know!)
The dog’s human appears to have been caught up in the crowd under the impression that he was on the “right side of history” at a witch-burning.
One wonders what role the mayor’s magnetism with transients played in the poor pup’s abuse, to say nothing of the tardy police presence when violence began.
Leaving after the press conference, Dawn Land engaged a gang of teens trying to heckle her.
Then another woman walked past, apparently half-naked.
“I swear she has no pants on, and I’m concerned. Again, I’m from Tacoma. I’ve lost track of how many naked or half naked tweakers I’ve come across. And yes, we should call the police if a naked tweaker is running around,” Land says.
“But the teen girl actually told me it was none of my business if that woman needed help.”
Ah, the promise of a progressive youth generation. No doubt Port Townsend and its mayor are very proud of themselves right now. That will change. Stay tuned!
