Are doodles the dumbest dogs? A. Yes B. Yes

Doing both sandwich generation and co-parenting over Christmas is a lot.

Home Alone is a terrible movie.

I’m so happy to hear nochebuena fireworks tonight. Love my neighbors 💫 #fuckice

Thank you to the Instagram reel about raccoons that reminded me to take the trash and recycling out. I also got to wave to a bus driver, who honked back.

Four hours until I need to leave to pick up my mom, and I should be cleaning the house, but I’m going to watch Taylor Swift instead.

I genuinely feel for @wmata.com on this. Appreciate the transparency, appreciate the challenges they face, appreciate the steps they are taking to try to fix it. wapo.st/4p8HrYS 🎁

Pleased to report that DPW did an initial inspection to confirm my service request and directed street and alley cleaning to come get the tv. Huzzah!

I can get several McKinley Tech kids and teachers to speak up too. From my son, his live reaction to this pic: “there was a car trying to pass on the bike lane at brookland, like a week ago”

Very happy that Owen and I have two weeks off to rest, but the grocery bill to feed him was eye popping. He’s only ever been at Title 1 schools so breakfast and lunch are always free. Luckily he likes ramen…

The shortest day to the longest night marks the beginning of winter and the long slow return of the sun. Take a moment today to feel the shift…light a fire if to invite the sun’s impending return. The hibernal solstice is more viscerally powerful than Christmas and New Year if you’re open to it ✨

The roomba ran over poop last night ama

Owen asked for money so I sent him up high to clean moss off the barn roof.

When I was a kid, I would whine that I never got mail. My dad's response: "you don't write no letters, you don't get no letters." Pleased to report that I've been too busy for the past couple of weeks to send many work emails, so I'm not getting any work emails. And it's glorious.

Hi, @dcwater.bsky.social 👋 Is this intentional? I don’t see a crew around anywhere at the moment. Location: North Capitol and Tuckerman NE

A TV was dumped on the side of the road across from my house last week. I finally put in the 311 request. Given that I live on Eastern Avenue, what are the odds the ticket gets closed out for "being in Maryland"? (It's NOT in Maryland. The far curb of the road and some ROW beyond that--still DC.)

Looks like a good signal to begin hygge

My Metro Rewind is interesting in how shockingly low the numbers are, because I mostly bike to get around the city. Or I’m driving to places outside Metro’s range. 15 total trips all year, 64 miles.

I have completed my day. Capped with witnessing an ICE stop because that’s DC in 2025, baby.

This story is so cool! I had no idea!

Currently playing what is, in all honesty, a killer Christmas show on the FM radio. Takomaradio.org for those of you not in range of the 94.3fm studios

If you haven’t saved this number in your phone’s emergencies list, do it now.

Today the Wunderhund broke the mug I’ve used for coffee for 20 years. 😭 Granted, it was only the handle that broke off but it’s too chipped apart to repair to feel the same. I showed Owen the sad remaining cup part. “Looks like a good plant pot,” he said. I love him so much ❤️

Re-upping for more feedback. 16, 16e, or 17? WWYD?

Please vote: For an iPhone upgrade for a teen, should I get the 16 or the 17?

People who don't stack grocery carts--they just leave them loose and disorganized in the return area--are probably also bad at loading the dishwasher. (If you went to the trouble of putting it in the return area and not just loose in the parking lot, omg, just stack them!)

So cool! I could see using this if I need to be able to haul more than my own bike carries and I want to avoid using my car…for days like today with #EdFEST25!

Merry Swiftmas to all who celebrate 🫶

After two days in West Virginia where the hotel kitchen had a simplistic understanding of vegetarian diets, I am home and grateful for plant-based proteins. 💚

Beavers! We are beaver believers. The first edition of this screen print from 2023 sold out. But we recently printed a second edition to keep the beaver fans happy. Five colors, edition of 26. #ArtAdventCalendar 🐡🎨

DC Ward 4 residents and Kansas Ave. bicyclists: please join us to tell @ddotdc.bsky.social to build _protected_ bike lanes on Kansas Avenue! waba.org/action-page/... @cmlewisgeorgew4.bsky.social #BikeDC

Barriers.

The people who complained about this project insist that the median is needed to prevent car collisions. Ironic that they so fervently believe a structural barrier is safer than paint… #bikedc

Momofuku sweet and spicy sauce hurts when it splashes into your eye.

DDOT has changed the design plan for the protected bike lanes on Kansas Ave NW (which have already been under construction) to eliminate the structural protection, and add more paint. app.box.com/s/3947xbs2yc...

Cube neighbor is listening to Christmas music with no headphones and the same song on repeat for the past two hours.

If you live in Lamond/Takoma DC and have heard some off-key but loud and passionate singing the last the couple nights, that’s me. Ella Langley and my feelings have gotten the best of me.

This week I learned that @dcpubliclibrary.bsky.social finally ordered five copies of @karenpalmer.bsky.social’s book, She’s Under Here. I’m # 1 on the hold list but you can get on it too! cc @erinpalmerdc.bsky.social

Ok, is there an #AllCaps community on here?

I'm really happy the snow is still falling. It's so pretty 🤍

Having never been to #MBTpubroll but being nominated as a host location and saying yes before asking any questions… That was a great time! Dang this is a small town and I love it so much.

Getting the fire pit set up, too!
