When I export a PDF from InDesign with all the print marks, the info at the bottom is a serif font. How do I change that to a sans serif font? I cannot find in either ID or Acrobat the setting to change and online search sucks.

The topic of discussion this morning amongst my fellow dog walkers were the low-flying helicopters last night. And as we were chitchatting, a very low flying Park Police copter passes overhead. It’s a bit much.

Can someone smarter than me tell me what it is outside that's making me feel like we're in the middle of spring? My chest and nose are not happy. But nothing's blooming?

Gave it a try. Was able to walk in. Skeptical in the moment but trusted the process. Will be great with a wash and product. A solid local option at $45 + tip.
Has anyone been to H Street Hair in NE? With the recent chop, I need to find a place for upkeep that isn’t going to cost three figures every 6-8 weeks. Love the Clarendon ladies but that’s a hike.

This "this is not who we are" is like when I tell my kids "I raised you better than that." Obviously I didn't--they're doing the bad thing. I'm reminding them of my expectations.
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Do you have a liturgical loved one in your life? Maybe a pastor/priest/deacon/etc. that has a special milestone coming up? Could they use a snazzy stole?

Take the lane.
We’ve heard now from several reliable sources that federal agencies may remove a substantial chunk of the 15th St NW protected bike lanes near the National Mall in February, possibly as early as next week.

Dinner with a friend of over 20 years I haven’t seen in-person in four(?). Got to talking about the theatricality of the halftime show bc we’re both recovering theater folks, and I was able to share Ms. Hammer’s incredibly insightful threads to supply their desired background info. 💜 our village

Went from having multiple plans this weekend to getting the two things left taken care of this evening. Besides bake bread, what shall I do with three days of leisure?
