Alexandrian, super nerdy about housing, transit, policy and publishing. I work in none of those fields.

We live here so my kids can be free! They aren’t trapped without cars. They can take walks, visit friends, and get ice cream. The teen can use the metro. It’s okay!

An image of "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood with the face of a blonde woman wearing glasses crudely pasted over Mr. Rogers' face. The text reads "Ask a Conservator Day. Who are the people in your neighborhood: Lissa Rosenthal-Yoffe, AIC & FAIC Executive Director."

How do you work with conservators?

β€œI think of my work as stewardship of the stewards. As conservators care for the cultural record & along with our remarkable staff, volunteers, & supportersβ€” I care for the ecosystem that makes that care possible. It’s partnership, accompaniment, & advocacy, & making sure the field is seen, valued and supported.”

We're NOT conservators... So why are we participating in #AskAConservator Day? Because this year we're asking "Who Are the People in Your Neighborhood," featuring our interdisciplinary community.

As folks who work for a conservation organization but aren't conservators, what role do we play? [1/5]

Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, voted for himself on the Working Families Party’s ballot line, rather than the Democrat’s line, according to a campaign spokeswoman.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social knows what’s up. Make sure your friends do too.

@workingfamilies.org deserves the credit for holding the progressive slate together, and for continuing to fight for, well… working families.

Dryness can affect your vision, especially if you’re tired, have allergies, or are dehydrated. My vision gets super blurry when I’m tired. But the twitches, maybe get an appointment somewhere!

It’s a quick but important read: β€œWhat Bovino is running is effectively a new DHS entity […]. It has its own operational footprint, communications strategy and chain of command. Yet it has no congressional authorization”

I would also like this resource as a resident! Do y’all have to copy edit your own articles? Seems like a very small staff for the region, 1-ish person per county. Having a copyeditor is lovely but not cheap.

If you didn’t know, Alaska has been hit by a massive storm, causing severe flooding. Many Indigenous villages have been completely wiped out, with some houses floating away with PEOPLE INSIDE THEM. Please keep posting to spread the info. They need help.
