Also, a good reminder for everyone to move in their yard signs before the storm! They're basically kites with pointy ends from the frames.

Today I got to take a YOUTH on her very first canvass and it was absolutely lovely.

@sandymarks.bsky.social seems like a strong, unifying message for the general election!

Great group of people right here. There’s a right way to get your point across and what some groups are doing right now ain’t it. I might not support your candidate but if the vibes stay good, we good. We work with good vibes here and as I’ve said before if you don’t, get outta here.

✅SEN BENNETT-PARKER ENDORSES SANDY✅ “Sandy shows up for our community. From advocating for gun violence prevention to standing up for our reproductive rights to fighting for equity and access for all Alexandrians, I trust Sandy to make a meaningful difference on City Council.”@ebpforva.bsky.social

Olympic women's hockey let's goooooo, someone check on @mlaw91.bsky.social!

My kid is a gif! He's a big fan of @sandymarks.bsky.social. There are lots of great candidates in this race - I'll be out knocking doors for Sandy today, and am looking forward to 2027 when we get to vote for more than one candidate!

Starts at 12 today!

We did it, fam!

Hey, ALX young people on the skeets (all of us?). The young Democrats are running a phone bank for Kirk and Elizabeth today from 5:30 to 7:00, and since you're all very young, you are all welcome to join! track-mg.mobilize.us/CL0/https:%2...

My 4-year-olds Valentine's Day celebration at school went from "bring a Valentine for every classmate" to "bring a bag with a small gift for every classmate" Absolutely not. I'm going to be the a****** that just does some cut out hearts that my kid scribbles on.

Hello from Rustico where the live music was very 90s and early aughts and all a English and now it's acoustic Bad Bunny and its amazing @beckyhammer.bsky.social

Hey does anyone in Del Ray want to help assemble some yard signs on Friday morning?

Alright, what spicy note am I leaving on the car that blocked this spot? Just take the spot, don't park in the street!

SD39/HD5 peeps - here's the RSVP link to the Sunday 2/1 candidate forums hosted by LWV. Senate candidates at 1:30, house candidates at 2:45. www.eventbrite.com/e/1981538159...

Today is the first day of early voting in the special election! Make your plan to vote, and be sure to vote in the jurisdiction where you live.

Look at those beautifully cleared sidewalks - and parking! - for early vote starting tomorrow.

Ummm are we somehow missing out on a stellar brunch at Founding Farmers?? Someone call Sietsema ASAP! (Matt and Tony's made this list in 2024 so it's not a total snub but I'm still mad on their behalf)

Get thee a mayor who listens to people, is in the weeds, and can explain the toplines in a way everyone can understand. People with this skill set rarely commit themselves to public service, and we're very very lucky. - signed, an admittedly biased ALX resident

Hey @maureencoffeyva.bsky.social or other Arlington folks - what's your version of the snow buddies program? I know some seniors looking for help.

Hot (frozen?) take: people that are angry that our streets aren't perfectly cleared haven't processed the months we spent cooped up during COVID. Everyone get therapy, help dig out neighbors who need to get to work / doctors appointments / etc, and be grateful the power hasn't gone out.

Feeling like I really have my sh*t together as a mom since I showered before bringing my kid to the playplace.

Monster Jam this weekend in DC is postponed to a date TBD 😢.

Anyone know the chances that Monster Jam at Capital One arena for Sunday 2pm gets cancelled for snow? Assuming only if metro closes...

Who is writing up what we need to know about this team? Let's go super hard and cheer them on, ALX skeets!

DASH bus mentioned LET'S GOOOOOO.

Did someone say yard signs?

Me after Tuesday night:

If you want to knock doors for @ebpforva.bsky.social feel free to reach out to me directly!

Out here earning very important feline endorsements for one of my favorite humans @ebpforva.bsky.social

🧵 I was asked for “more data” on why my building code proposal to require diaper changing tables accessible to all caregivers was “really necessary." So, I explained biology and blowouts and shared stories from parents.

Hello here's the small light in dark times for your news feed! www.alxnow.com/2026/01/05/d...

Thank you @dashbusva.bsky.social for this amazing birthday adventure! We had a blast!

Evergreen skeet right here.

Santa but it's the night of the 25th and he detail cleans your house and organizes all the new stuff.

Update: it's happening!! Super pumped for this @dashbusva.bsky.social!!

@dashbusva.bsky.social if I wanted to bring some toddlers and parents over to go through the bus wash for a kids party, is that possible? Dash bus facility birthday! Make this kid's dream come true!

It was pretty damn cool to see Abigail Spanberger completely fangirl over Dolores Huerta at her event today.

Saw a cybertruck carrying 2 kayaks and 4 bikes and it broke my brain.

Got the handbook to my kid's new preschool and they don't use the Oxford comma.

Not quite a tadpole, not yet a bullfrog. Huntley Meadows, VA.

Leaving Volcanoes, my favorite national park. Didn't get to see any lava fountaining, but did see the milky way and a rainbow!

Timeline cleanse! Discovered today while pruning at a friend's house.
