Roxette’s Look Sharp!

PSLF changed my life by allowing me to take jobs that I could never have afforded to take without PSLF. Please comment by TONIGHT to oppose this harmful attack on a [checks notes] GW Bush administration law that changed many lives, including mine.

Jeff Hiller winning an Emmy for Somebody Somewhere is the highlight of my day. That performance is so beautiful. Congratulations to him and the casting director who absolutely got it right. #somebodysomewhere #jeffhiller

AlexRenew's Open House is this Saturday from 10-2! While you're in town, make a day of it by visiting City of Alexandria's Tons of Trucks event and Eisenhower Partnership's Block Party celebration! Alexandria is packed with family-friendly events all day. #alexandriava #openhouse

I know Halt and Catch Fire had four seasons but it didn’t get the audience it deserved.

Thanks @alxnow.bsky.social for covering this important issue and for Brady and our Clerk of Courts for partnering to promote safe gun ownership.

I became a blood donor on 9/11/01. It felt like something I could do. I have remained one ever since and encourage any of that are able to find a drive near you and consider donating. You just might save a life.

It’s a “Bring Your Own Pickles” sort of meeting.

I got to “slice” (with the fancy knife made by a blacksmith for the Mayor) and eat a piece at the Art League Open House on Saturday. Yummy!

If you looking For the party…

For those times when you are feeling both sarcastic and sad.

A dance party, educational experience about Alexandria’s current and past black community, with my fellow Alexandrians in front of a library??!!! Yes, please!

One change - tunnel party is now Sunday 9/7 at 4:00 Due to forecast. Others events are Rain or Shine! Meanwhile…I’m learning what infrastructure themed Party favors exist!

If you are looking for us on Sunday 9/7 at 4:00 in Oronoco Park - the signs!

Look. There are easier ways to get your heart rate up and bike 21 miles, than losing your wallet and then getting it back. But today I didn’t choose the easier ways. I did still get to do dinner with my little brother though!

Scene at 3:00 PM GW Parkway SB @alxnow.bsky.social as seen from @mountvernontrail.org

Hope everyone is okay. Full Vehicle Fire on GW Parkway SB adjacent to DCA. Cars fully stopped for the moment. (Glad I chose to Capital Bikeshare home from DC). Smoke could be seen from Gravelly Point.

An image @martaschantz.bsky.social might like even more than a well decorated bathroom.

And add to your options: - Toasting together our award winning tunnel at Oronoco Park at 4:00 pm on Saturday 9/6 - Joining the Art League Open House at The Muse & Slaters location at 5:00!

There is a lot going on in this photo but what do you think Congressman Beyer and I were talking about??? Wrong answers only. (Correct answer in the Alt Text)

Anyone want Nationals tickets for two tonight? Free to good home. I forgot to swap them out! DM me and be ready to get them via email!

I’ll be there 👇! Join me in Oronoco Park first at 4:00 for an unofficial toast to our award winning tunnel!

Here’s @alexandriaanimals.bsky.social alumni Buster! #dogs

When you are a local dork you get very excited to see Port City on tap at 9:30 club!

Hey look @martaschantz.bsky.social it’s an anime bathroom!

Look, I’m all for efficient customer service, but waiting in line at the Post Office is my weird secret (ooops) soothing activity, and this line is moving Way too fast. Give me this USPS!

Who wants to Toast the Tunnel and Accolade the Art League with me on Saturday Sept 6th? Follow this thread for more details and painful alliteration…

Sure Bad Bunny put on a great show but check out this protected cycle track in San Juan. 🇵🇷

Step 1: go to Puerto Rico. Step 2: engage in cultural conversations with locals about music and film. Step 3: permanently learn the difference in the words “ojos” and “hoyos”

I’ve decided as long as the light keeps flashing I’m still at the concert. All signing, dancing and random shouts of “ey” are to be understood in this context moving forward.

Covered Mayor Gaskins' Back-to-School Salon today - a powerful reminder of how something we might take for granted can be life-changing. When a 6th grader saw herself in the mirror after her FIRST EVER professional hairstyle, she burst into tears of joy. The whole room followed.

The Hunt for Red October Event Horizon Clue* *I really did consider Jurassic Park to get the Sam Neil trifecta.

The man who came to repair my dryer vent returned the stacked washer dryer into the closet so that the door actually closes. Easily. And stays closed. It’s been five years of it not quite closing. I wish he knew how happy this makes me. Shout out C&C Dryer Vent.

Rode from Wakefield Tarleton gathering all the way to Carlyle on trails or protected lanes. Sweet new Mill Rd connection and repaved Eisenhower made the ride so nice.

Yesterday, Buster and I slowed down and waved at friends on bikes from our car and we were wholly unrecognizable I think traveling by car 😂.

I nearly lost my Duolingo streak because I was listening to Bad Bunny and talking about my efforts to learn Spanish.

Follow up a week of wine in Napa & Sonoma with a half marathon. Get tempted by a book store, drink some Coors Light and meet fellow transit nerds!

The New York Times trying to win me back…

Thanks @alyia4alx.com for capturing me discussing rugby with Bronze medal winner Alev Kelter!!! #womensrugby #usrugby

The news is constant and so many people are doing the best they can in exceedingly trying times. Part of public service is goofy photos right? Here’s a big dog and his tongue. Here’s me riding home from DCA on Thur on a @bikeshare.bsky.social where I saw friends on the @mountvernontrail.org

For me it was when Caitlin landed that vault on one foot in 1996.

If you see this, quote post with a time travel movie that is not BACK TO THE FUTURE. 🎥

If I miss the party tonight it’s because this project beat me. Send help.
