Changed out my registration sticker AND my front and rear wipers 💪
Oh boy, it'll be warm enough for me to switch out my registration sticker!

This is a safe space. How many times have you rewatched Bad Bunny's Halftime Show?

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?

Apple Music posted this thank you video from Bad Bunny. It is full of joy and the beauty of America’s melting pot. You may want tissues nearby. Cc: @beckyhammer.bsky.social, Benito Ambassador

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.

Baffled at how HR can misspell my last name…

Women don’t need a man, women need a perfectly toasted grilled cheese sandwich with two types of cheese and spicy honey mustard on homemade bread with a friend’s homemade tomato soup.

This will be the winter I use up my stockpile of travel and sample size lotions, everything is so dry.

Super awkward when someone in the group chat suggests shirt designs by ChatGPT and you’re a graphic designer. 🫠

I’ve been holding off talking to my CPA about taxes this year because of this bullshit. I hate getting them to her close to the filing deadline but 🤷🏻‍♀️
Meanwhile, the Senate, in which DC has no representative, is about to rewrite DC's tax laws in the middle of filing season and, oh yeah, blow another hundreds-of-millions-of-dollars hole in DC's budget a year after Speaker Johnson's $1 billion hole in last year's. www.dcfpi.org/all/congress...

If you’re in a jurisdiction where dual consent is needed to record, sue them into oblivion.

Eg. Maryland is, DC is not.

Social media is awash with videos of men filming themselves approaching women in public spaces and attempting to flirt. In many cases, the videos are filmed and uploaded without the women’s consent. https://cnn.it/4qtIsvB

Young ladies of the DMV, if a guy called you on speaker phone telling you he was alone at Pike and Rose, he was neither in North Bethesda nor alone. Also, every woman deserves better than to be spoken to like that.

I don’t want to watch football. I want to watch the halftime show more. I want to watch @beckyhammer.bsky.social watching the halftime show the mostest. Will there be a livestream link sent out?
