It IS hard to figure out where to ride in DC! This is why I launched a project called RideScore DC with Civic Tech DC www.civictechdc.org/projects/rid... We even have a rough prototype up at ridescoredc.com

DC, I love this weather for you!

"The Park Service, in a separate document, similarly said that people should ‘wear an n95 mask when outdoors’ and ‘remain indoors as much as possible during and after the show.’” The guidance is to remain indoors ... during the fireworks. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

So much fun at #MBTpubroll! Seriously, was an absolutely perfect day for a ride over the Bridge in Anacostia!

We are in a full on dictatorship, rivaling the most entrenched ones in the world. Anti ICE activists, who printed a zine, are labeled “terrorist” and sentenced to 30-100 years in federal prison. By this metric we’re all targets. Genuinely chilling. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

So, I guess we aren't getting any kind of notifications of specific flyovers anymore?

They continue to take 3rd spaces away from us and disrupt critical infrastructure for active transit.

I'm so f'ing sick of these obscenely loud flyovers! Like it sucks to be running a meeting, in the middle of an important point, and just get interrupted! I'm a woman in tech, and I shouldn't have to add that to the list of things I have to deal with!

One thing that I don't think gets discussed enough is the attack of this surge/occupation/etc on 3rd spaces in DC. It's pervasive and petty in a way that you really can't just ignore or opt out of if you are car-free in downtown DC!

DC deserves peace! All this obnoxiousness is total BS!

Versailles? Seriously? May he have wonderful reminisces of a certain, autumn women's march...

Did they seriously shut down major downtown transit hubs for this BS?? There do not exist consequences terrible enough for what this administration deserves!

BS on so many levels. This is K and Connecticut NW. All of Farragut Square is shut down too. Why do the need 4 f'ing days!!!

A core tenet of our founding principles – that US citizens should have a say in who governs them – is being denied from the people of Washington, D.C. #DCStatehood

I only know what kerning is because I used to write scientific grants. Those page limits can be brutal!

Meanwhile, NIH only gets $47.5 billion per year

Anyone else notice there seems to be a sharp uptick in violence from LE and adjacent since DC's police week?

Today, when I was at the hardware store buying child-safety locks for my cats, I learned that DC has the highest number per capita (6.9 per 1000) of US citizen children with a detained parent.

A76 already only runs once an hour on Sundays! Pretty unacceptable...

My latest piece on the Iran conflict discusses how the failure of the Trump administration to define clear war aims fostered this fraught moment.

Hey everyone, I’m trying out regular posts about the Iran War. I’d really appreciate it if you gave it a try. 😊

The only sound more obnoxious than a mosquito in your ear: MPD making annoying circles near your home

Thank god for cats!

ICYMI, 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. This is some BS. Join us on Friday for a protest ride. waba.org/event/15th-s...

So not cool!

Super fun night celebrating @transpobingo.bsky.social! Icing on the cake was watching #TheUpskillingLabs alum, @echo4dc.bsky.social win the whole enchilada by earning every square! Thanks for the fun, @erinpalmerdc.bsky.social and @handlebarsdc.bsky.social ! See ya next year! 🛴🚶🏽‍♀️🚉🚲

Last square 24 make 25/25 of #TranspoBINGO! I haven't been to the Botanic Gardens in over a decade at least! Many of the gardens are closed, but taking my time in the Hawaiian plant section cause it's nice and warm. Will try to post pics later my phone is not cooperating

Square 21 of #TranspoBINGO Planetarium at the Air and Space Museum narrated by Lupita Nyong'o. Trying to post w/o pics due to internet issues

Bagged bok choy, mandarins, onions, and apples at Bread for the City! Very friendly, bustling environment. Was gifted a banana and onion and rescued an avocado. Square 15 for #TranspoBINGO complete! Even gave away a RideFlow DC/Upskilling Labs sticker and talked about #TranspoBINGO 23/25

The state of the board is 22/25 for #TranspoBINGO, and I'm not done yet. This girl has PLANS for the final stretch tomorrow!

Next up, RideScore DC a sister project to RideFlow DC. Housed in Civic Tech DC, this project is working on giving a cyclist safety score for every segment of DC streets. Had a blast, pitching and working with my team at project night. Square 15 #TranspoBINGO

There I fixed it! I'm no artist for #TranspoBINGO square 20, but I was sad when the B30 became the A76. My stop moved from right next to the metro with generous seating to crossing 2 streets and no seating. I see it's closer to the elevator, but it's nice to visualize some seating in that space.

Took Feather (my Glion scooter) to complete square 22 of #TranspoBINGOand see the monks! I don'tknow a more famous group of active transiters right now. Missed Aloka

Marked my “Track Your Transpo Impact” #TranspoBINGO square for attending the Upskilling Lab’s event for Ride Flow DC, an app designed to include multiple active transpo modes, and Ride Score DC, which will include a safety layer in route recommendations (eg protected bike lane vs paint). Cool stuff!

Tonight’s #TranspoBINGO sponsor events🎤🤖🚇 🧠Upskilling Labs: learn about RideFlow DC's transit app + mark your "Track Your Transpo Impact" square 🎤Open Mic Karaoke with District Karaoke: mark your "Transpo to Group Play" square (and have fun!) All events: www.transpobingo.com/2026-events

Okay, next up for #TranspoBINGO a 3-legged round trip including new-to-you-public-space (green-4) and new-to-you-neighborhood (purple-5)

Square 12 of #TranspoBINGO we didn't get as far as we'd like, but my neighbor and I made progress on this Dalloways park corner

#TranspoBINGO Square 1 really cool statehood game with the League of Women Voters

#TranspoBINGO Square 24 Mariokart! Yes, my circus equipment takes public transportation too. Shout out to Circus Covered based in Ukraine for making bags to carry things like lyra and trapeze. This one was designed with being able to use a bike or scooter in mind.

Square 10 is definitely a shout out to Monarca In Flight where I teach aerials and flexibility. Enjoyed teaching Fabric 1 this morning #TranspoBINGO

My #TranspoBINGO card to date

I'm going to need the @transpobingo.bsky.social judges to weigh in on my attempt at non-wmata Square 6. I was briefly on an ART bus, but not riding. I waited 25 minutes for the one that was supposed to come in 5 maxing out what I could do in these conditions. :'(

Square 2 of #TranspoBINGO: winter watersport! Did you know the Medstar Icerink at Ballston is the highest above street level in the US? Sadly, I did not go skating. I had to make a few safety calls today, and this was one of them.

Square 11 Terminus Mt Vernon to Huntington and lest my roll of 2 disappoint for transfers this trip had 5! Walk to rhode Island to gallery place to Mt Vernon to Huntington to King St to F20 to studio! Whew... #TranspoBINGO

#17 memory match to the former streetcar now Dupont Underground for art exhibits. If you are a fan of Josephine Baker, highly recommend this showgirl exhibit! Got to see it as part of the Dupont Arts Walk (1st Friday each month) where many museums give free admission for the night! #TranspoBINGO

#TranspoBINGO Square 3 better bus matching D70 formerly L2; D70, 42/43 sort-of; A76, B30. I thought D was for Dupont, but apparently it's for downtown. A is for Arlington. More on the B30 in a future square...

When I rolled the dice for Square 7 transfers to go to the studio, I only rolled 2. So, Dupont red line to metro center, transfer 1 to orange line, to Ballston, then transfer 2 to the A76 #TranspoBINGO

Square 8 City Services #TranspoBINGO Square. Called 311 about this epic garbage situation only to learn the city doesn't do pickup for dumpsters

Square 8 for #TranspoBINGO she smiled so much much when I came up to her window, it made me smile all the way home
