Was reading about learner permits via the DC DMV and whimsically opted to try a practice knowledge test. Woo, I passed! But this question is badly written. The actual answer is that road rage and aggressive driving are caused by unsafe, emotionally immature drivers.

Puts me in mind of this all time classic

I regret to report that I have been dubbed the moderator of my extended family’s group chat 💀

More Eastern Ave fun this afternoon. Dude was doing loops and u-turns for 10-plus minutes, so loud inside my house it interrupted conversation with my kid.

A driver just pulled over in front of my house so their passenger could dump trash and food in the street. 😡

Cash price for regular unleaded is $3.87 at the Shepherd Park BP.

THUNDER! In Leafy Upper Northeast. #dcwx

Any Lamond or nearby neighbors around during DCPS Spring Break, join me for a community cleanup! Hosted by the Eastern Avenue Neighbors Adopt A Block group and part of @erinpalmerdc.bsky.social’s Spring Cleanup Week! www.springcleanupweek.com/events/adopt...

Hi, @dcpubliclibrary.bsky.social! I requested you add @karenpalmer.bsky.social’s book She’s Under Here to your collections months ago. My hold has been showing as “available soon” for months. Is there an ETA for when I can finally get my not-grubby hands on it?

The new song and music video from Kacey Musgraves is 😈🔥 youtu.be/NlohfwTunwU?...

I always knew where I was “supposed to go” (thanks, fam), but I was sold on it because of sweet potato fries for lunch in the cafeteria that day.

Imagine standing in a room in your home when, suddenly, the BOOKCASE opens and reveals a different, secret room! HOW COOL IS THAT?! MURPHY DOORS: communityforkliftmarketplace.org/products/ope...

40 years ago, we had a productive grove down the street from my house. 35 years ago, it had mostly died from disease. 30 years ago, it was replaced by houses.

Evie got spayed today. For me, that meant getting up at 5am to drive her to Burke-ish, then back home, then back out there at 2 to pick her up. 4.5 hours in the car. Not sure which of us is more miserable.

Unsurprisingly, the DC business community has concerns about one of the competitive candidates for mayor, as reported by the Post. Gift link: wapo.st/4d0kFQN I’m not New Here and I’m pretty sure DC businesses did pretty well under these mayors:

Bravo to my friend CM Conway and the Baltimore City Council!

Somewhat-disgusting jars of the problem material are such good advocacy tools!

Wait, Manatee Appreciation Day is the same as National Puppy Day??

TFW you volunteer for a campaign event in another neighborhood and know people on your way to the event, people at the event, and people on your door knocking list. As my @51st.news t-shirt professes, DC is a Little Big City

Teen: “other than the house and the car, what is the most expensive thing here?” “You.”

Finn is almost nine; we think Evie might just a bit under two. They love each other so much, and she’s keeping Finn active and playful as he was starting to slow down. 🐶🐶💙💙

Evie’s eighth puppy is going to her forever home on Sunday. Huzzah for happy families with cute puppies!

Just responded to a push poll gauging my opinions on childcare subsidies and wages in DC, including messaging strategies and revenue options. #DCision26

Looking just at ANC 4B-ish… - what is now a large apartment building on Laurel and Eastern is still zoned as Institutional (it used to be Strayer etc). - we really need some community building for the Industrial section. Bring back something equivalent to 3 Stars (1/x)

Two and a half months later, my puppy era has come to an end. James has moved to a new foster and will likely be adopted this weekend. Looking forward to family reunions!

This was the rain we were expecting

Thomas Edison home and Gamble Plantation. 🫠

Seems like my backyard cherry tree is at a stage.

Stayed home sick today. Took a two-hour nap with this nugget on my neck

Little kids getting picked up from school shriek, “yay! It’s getting windy!” #dcwx

And then there was one.

Most of Evie's puppies go to their forever homes this weekend. Two went yesterday (they get to stay as a pair!), three of my remaining ones leave this afternoon. Two others have applications. Mixed feelings. Evie is going to miss them. They are super cute. But the poop and other work is a lot.

Note to #bikedc and others: Beach Drive and Rock Creek Parkway will be fully open to drivers on April 11. www.nps.gov/rocr/planyou...

Emergency repairs to the Potomac Interceptor are complete. Full flow has been restored and the C&O Canal has been fully drained as part of site restoration. Since Jan 19, crews worked around the clock to stabilize the site and protect the Potomac River. #DCWater

Guys. GUYS.

The “Free DC” chant returns to Audi Field in the 51st minute during the first @washingtonspirit.com game of the year!

You may have seen my post the other day that Evie tested positive for heartworm. Even though I’ve adopted her, Homeward Trails Animal Rescue is covering all of her treatment, which will take four months. If you’re able, please consider supporting their fundraiser: www.mightycause.com/story/eve-he...
