lawn Christmas tree is back! 🎄🎁 everybody gets to enjoy it, and I don't have to worry about keeping the cat out of the tree

It's true. @canawa.bsky.social can attest I have a bit of a crush on Mr. Cohen

Day 2 of #ALXBeercember is Bluejacket Brewing's The Ave. I'm not sure if it's a tribute to Del Ray, or a vague threat of annexation from the DC based brewery

Don't forget! The Great ALX Skeets Holiday card exchange is open. Make sure you sign up by December 8th so you get a match!

Day 1 of 2025 #AlxBeercember - it's Albino Rhino white stout from Prairie Artisan Ales

increasingly skeptical of Strong Floor No Ceiling when the book is sold like this. WTF does access even mean in this context? That's the language of enshitification. We all have "access" to healthcare - but not all of us have the means to make good on access. FFS.

We decorated the sanctuary today. Normally I'm skeptical of doing Christmas decorating before December, but this year has sucked, so holiday joy it is.

Okay ALX Skeeters, the holiday card exchange is back. Pretty simple: you sign up. We match you with another household. You send them a card. Somebody else sends you a card. Everybody gets holiday joy. Join up at forms.gle/T56PWSJQzNer... by December 8 2025

This Sunday, Del Ray's hottest club is...the Monroe avenue Aldi (sightings of @trey197.bsky.social and @justindotnet.bsky.social )

@rathjen.us you good my dude?

Canadian crime is the best crime.

someone at my co-working space has put milk directly into the French Press coffee maker.

So much joy this weekend. And so many people to thank for it. thanks to @yuda.org and @caslon.bsky.social for hosting the Pozole party. Seriously excellent soup!

I want good municipal services and housing rules that create more options for landowners and more possibilities for cultural and economic growth. If that makes me a leftist, then save me a seat on that free bus.

nabbed some Heady Topper! Planet Wine in Del Ray offered an Alchemist can drop at 5 PM today - I got the second to last four pack at 5:12.

I swear to God we are building a shrine to Aubrey Kingsbury

Watching the Spirit shoot out with @canawa.bsky.social and we're both like

" The case was total baloney" Hooray for Sean Dunn and bless that Reddit commentor

Saturday, I got to pour wine at the Bull Run Wine Festival on behalf of Quievremont winery. I absolutely adore this winery - enough to volunteer for a 5 hour shift. Time flies when you're pouring joy.

That's another one for @abigailspanberger.com

could you go one day without water? With Virginia American Water, you will! (no shade on AlexRenew)

Saw this was like oh no oh sh!t but then I realized it was "just" coverage of the mass resignation of the ARHA board.

ALX skeeters: what do you think of the Alexandria flag concept from this Reddit post? My take: not enough ships or parades. Original post for appropriate credit, and for the curious www.reddit.com/r/nova/comme...

VA Gubernatorial debate be like Moderator: "candidates, in 60 seconds, is the sky blue?" Spanberger: "Thank you, my time as a federal agent taught me to use my analytical skills.." Earle-Sears: "strong linebacker-sized tranz kids will eat your jobs if we don't have clean coal"

Watching the VA gubernatorial debate and my God listening to Lt. Gov Earle-Sears is nauseating. It's like someone narrating Facebook posts

"boo, or whatever." - the cats of Walnut Street

May God grant you the hutzpah of the Virginia American Water employee who knocked on the front door and asked "Do you need water today?" ... you were supposed to turn the water off yesterday my dude.

Sage advice from a friend (Artist credit is Megan Zins)

America’s military leadership has more important things to do than listen to lectures on character from an unqualified drunk who assaults women. Any soldier who was as careless as Hegseth was with war plans would be fired if not prosecuted. And everyone in that room knows it.

There's some Looney Tunes level goings on here with multiple signs and *still* they prop the door. I love it. At this point they should just try signs demanding LEAVE DOOR PROPPED OPEN to see what happens

anybody else still suffering a Comcast outage in ALX?

If I chase my tail, I do not fit.

If you're like me and weren't cool enough to go New York this year for Climate Week, you can assuage your FOMO with a Climate Week feed: bsky.app/profile/did:... 🔌 💡

Good morning from the vineyard. Petit Manseng harvest today
