@joelanderson.bsky.social I'm sure you're getting flooded with locally owned DC book stores, but I'd throw out @loyaltybooks.bsky.social for new books and Capitol Hill Books for used!

I see now that it was announced a few days ago that there was going to be a flyover of DC at 5pm today... but there should be an emergency alert sent to everyone 10 min in advance. Some of us who were here in 2001 still get freaked out at the sound of planes over the city...

The worst part of getting to know my neighbors is that when it snows, I can no longer just be mad at strangers for not shoveling their sidewalk. I'm disappointed in people who's kids my kids play with, for making it dangerous for me to walk my dog...

My 4 year old son, who has only seen A New Hope, just asked me if I knew Darth Vader was Luke Skywalker's father, one of his "friends" on the playground told him. I am irrationally upset! I wanted to be there when he watched Empire and see his reaction! Where do I go to seek justice?
