Oh no. Sorry to hear about the fridge! Mine recently died too. 2025 is just too much for everyone and every thing. I gave up on using a cooler and just started weird meals.

After losing her 5-year-old, a DC mom builds a legacy of safety for others After her daughter Allie was killed crossing the street, Jessica Hart turned heartbreak into advocacy for safer roads nationwide.

I’m back in your screens, talking about Allie 🫶🏻 and the importance of doing real things we know can save lives, like using tech and street design to slow drivers. 🚗

It’s why we’re walking on Nov 16 to honor victims and call for slowing down. #StopSuperSpeeders

Puffy mailer with an illustrated horse, and mouse wearing glasses and a lab coat holding a pill.

I don't know about that cat, but I 100% trust this science mouse with my cat's meds.

My cold weather lazy meal is using the porridge setting, but throw in slice of ginger and use broth instead of water. When done, top off with a soft boiled egg, kimchi, or torn up baby kale. Drizzle with sesame oil, chili crisp.

A fix is coming to an intersection where a girl was killed by a school bus Residents called for more safety measures after a Montgomery County student on a bicycle was fatally struck by a school bus near a middle school in Aspen Hill.

in February @mcdotnow.bsky.social said that a stop sign wasn’t necessary at the Rockville intersection where a school bus hit and killed an 11yo October 9. it literally took someone dying for them to do their job. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

My cat comically refuses to comply with giving a sample. Use the ultrasound machine and needle? Absolutely not. Take home kit? No thanks. A sample was successfully obtained earlier this summer and it came back negative.

Thinking Friendship might be the best option despite 💸

A long haired tabby cat with big eyes and a pumpkin bell is sitting like a sourdough loaf underneath a chair.

Hey DC cat caregivers: Any of you have experience with cat urinary issues or FIC have recs for vets and/or emergency hosp that are attentive to this issue?

My cat is still able to go but tries to do it frequently and at times seems in pain. Vet's answer ystdy was prozac, which I am not sure is it.

What a great activity! 😍 Thank you for facilitating!

Kids color bicycles and flowers and more while chatting about what they love about biking and what would make it safer.

So much drawing!

A banner with the prompt - What do you hope to see for biking in our community? So many thoughtful responses!

So much amazing art and activism at today’s DC Family Bike Fest! Whether coloring bicycles and flowers, writing messages about what biking means to them, or sharing snacks and chatting - these kids (and adults) know what’s up!

Ugh. I unfortunately know this same feeling. Sending solidarity from DC.

Our Streets Look Like War Zones — But What if They Were 'Sites of Peacebuilding' Instead? — Streetsblog USA A peace and conflict studies scholar weighs in on what car culture has in common with global conflicts — and why we need to confront violence on our roads if we want to end violence around the globe.

Few days late but wanted to be sure to shout out this great convo I had with Ashton Rohmer, who points out that all the deaths and damage that flows from car culture isn't dissimilar from the horrors of war, and what it would mean to apply "peace building" strategies to urbanism.

I haven't really been online in the past 24 hours, but did you know that The Rapture is doing an early show at the 9:30 Club on a Friday night in Oct where doors open at 6:30pm? My elder millennial knees are into it 💃

The District’s transportation system taxes everyone’s time DC residents pay a transportation time tax that harms riders and drivers alike.

100%. Some folks in DC are calling this the "transportation time tax."

A screen of transit directions from Google Maps. A star is hand drawn next to "Boarding position for the fastest exit: Middle"

New to me: Google now tells you where to board your Metrorail train for "the fastest exit." 👀

Will also never fully win memorizing which way is Shady Grove vs Glenmont.

Hang out with a leg out

A recently installed bus platform that is level with the sidewalk.

Oohh. New to me: Bus platforms are in on H St NE 😍🚌💃

But don't ask me what's the new number for the X2 because I still don't have that memorized.

“Seven demands to Congress”

In 2019, my stepkid was a Bloomberg supporter out of the blue and kept telling me about Mike this, Mike that. Figured out it was bc of YouTube ads. 🤦‍♀️ Agree with you a subscription seems key these days.

Dang. Definitely treat yourself to a nice coffee or other beverage today for experiencing a fall and going thru a dental appointment.

Oof. Glad you're generally ok tho! I fell on Monday because I stepped in wet dog waste and my groceries went flying everywhere. In solidarity with you on the technicolor bruises.

I actually don't know if they're officially allowed. TBH, there was talk about how long the memorial for Michael would stay given the prominent location. But it was important for community members to finally honor Michael after taking a much needed a break.

EVERY DAY I GET A NEW GOFUNDME FOR ANOTHER PARENT WHO HAS BEEN TAKEN BY ICE. DC MAY BE SAFER FOR REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS, BUT IT'S LESS SAFE FOR THE REST OF US. SHAME!! #FREEDC

Hey DC! Chalk Riot is leading a sidewalk chalk mural at this Saturday’s bike ride, and registration numbers are HIGH! We need your help! Who are 2-3 volunteers to help us? Let’s make something beautiful together, DC 🫶 email me chelsea@chalkriot.com OR DM @hillfamilybiking.org @thehillishome.com

A yellow sticker of a cartoon snake wearing a baseball hat that says "ICE", about to be hit by a Subway sandwich or hoagie being thrown. The words "Don't throw sandwiches at me" are printed on the sticker. The sticker is on the back of a street sign.

Saw this on my walk to work yesterday 🤭

My timeline is a wild mix of videos/photos of DC joy, but also videos/photos of absolute inhumanity of forces that are now armed 😵‍💫

This is gonna sound silly... but I've been making a pitcher of decaf iced tea*, then top off with some sparkling water and a sprig of mint for fanciness ✨💅🥂

*The current iced tea blend is 3 bags of each TJ's citrus berry and ginger tumeric herbal teas.

Driver of National Guard vehicle gets red-light ticket after collision A crash involving a D.C. National Guard vehicle and SUV on Capitol Hill left the civilian driver with a minor head laceration Wednesday, officials have said.

The driver of the National Guard’s 14-ton mine-resistant ATV ran a red light, struck a vehicle & injured the driver requiring jaws of life extraction.

These vehicles are designed for warfare, not our neighborhood streets—they don’t belong here.
