random people who evade my closed replies to tell me what is really going on in DC (spoiler alert: they don’t live here and have boiled their brains in internet fantasies), the place that I live, remind me why I had to limit them in the first place

wait didn’t Jewel sing at the inauguration festivities

I am so tired of getting the shit scared out of me by National Guard waking around randomly in the dark in the middle of neighborhoods

who was it that was arguing on here a few weeks back about how the right wing never writes history or whatever

I’ve been going to relaxation/meditation classes pretty regularly since January (probably only reason I’m functional lol) and the one on Sunday nights is mostly women and involves some chanting. It’s not like you’re supposed to intone a specific pitch but everyone kinda tends to pitch match

of course Clothes Encounters had my back, walked right in and found exactly what I wanted down to the color like i somehow manifested it with this skeet

he's flyin solo today and i think some of this is just camera angle but i was wondering where he was going for a bit there lol

i thought we solved all the crime and were perfect now, but still have the national guard to keep it perfect, and yet have been awakened by three alerts in ten minutes

well half of it survived the day

also if anyone else in DC saw this pls confirm lol

this entire metro station is an ad for Claude ai with the tagline “keep thinking” 🤔 🙄

what’s goin on at the White House? I’m in foggy bottom two beers in and heard a bunch of sirens

Didn’t peg Kash Patel as a words of affirmation guy

I know I have quite a few librarians amongst my followers, does anyone have thoughts about software for developing a small catalog for a school library? (Replies open to followers)

academic conferences are simply going to need to offer virtual options

trying to get my brain wrapped around soldiers patrolling through an absolutely wasted post concert Friday night Wharf crowd

More pepper balls, so many. People started running. Protesters tackled. Someone may have been detained, can't tell. Everyone is getting hit. Air is intolerable. People retching, coughing.

These guys opening for the Alabama Shakes and it’s hitting some kind of spot i wouldn’t have previously identified

On my way to a concert and masked FBI and Park Police doing who knows what by the Wharf

This is probably not going to kill children — 85% of kids get MMR and varicella separately anyway. The issue is that it’s a decision that is contrary to the evidence presented.

Despite no significant difference between the combined and separate vaccines according to their own data. That part is important to understand.

so much of it comes back to political violence many in congress are so scared of being the next target and they all are getting constant threats, and they think tamping down on speech is the way to extinguish it but GOP telling themselves fairytales about the cause www.semafor.com/article/09/1...
