DC rolls back renters' rights by knocking down 2-4 unit buildings out of TOPA entitlement. May seem small, but this likely targets the plethora of English basements and other small unit buildings (think row house split into 3 levels and divided into apts) www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

“The Constitution and federal laws provide robust protections to UC specifically because of the unique risks they face. We are determined to use every legal tool at our disposal to force the admin to respect the law and not send any child to danger.” @nilc.org www.nilc.org/press/nilc-s...

Music festival forming at Franklin Park (McPherson Sq) - festival staff says no stage diving or moshing, have surrounded the entire park with staffers preparing for the evening (in the name of crime reduction)

Dare I say it the DC warped this year looks more legit than the LBC warped. I don’t know… there’s something about a fully paved treeless parking lot of an abandoned asbestos ridden NFL stadium that just screams “warped” that Long Beach can never fully fulfill. DC birthed hardcore for a reason.

Oh so you said you like Turnstile?

The difference framing and a light edit can make in your pictures.

If you told me in 2015 that this is what 10 years later would do for micro mobility access, I’m not sure if I would’ve fully believed you to be honest.

High speed rail could be the best thing to happen to America and you just don’t know it yet.

Fixing to ride the Brightline, bucket list item down.

Just hit me that there’s a generation of biracial millennials who have a wildly complex political spectrum that wouldn’t have existed pre-1980. There isn’t a fully cohesive agenda for these folks, but I think theres a complicated position for these folks that goes unseen. (Hi its me, i’m the drama)

I think we are in the middle of a really pivotal moment of hardcore and alternative music culture. #Turnstile @thebaltimorebanner.com

Enforce tax evasion as well as we enforce metro fare evasion and we could have free public transit for all.

This is why boomers think cities are soulless concrete jungles and inherently bad. This is NYC in 1982:

Guys on Love is Blind really showing up to their wedding day without a single drop of conditioner in their hair.

“But where do you get your protein?” It’s an old lie others tell you when you are vegetarian or vegan, but vegan meats nowadays have nearly as much protein as straight up beef, 19g/ 4oz vs. 23g/ 4oz (vegan vs. traditional respectively)

Current obsession: gamifying grocery shopping at Safeway. After coupons and rewards, this is a 70% savings. And this cart includes 18-pack of pasture raised organic eggs too.

Trump signed an executive order preventing men blah blah blah it’s unconstitutional you dumbass.
