My wedding ring was originally my great-grandma’s. (also my house is 115 years old)

This summer, DC Public Library is partnering with Vision To Learn to provide no-cost eye exams and, if needed, free glasses for children ages 3–18 (PreK–12th grade). 👓📚 Appointments are available now: https://bit.ly/3RS08Fq

Cannot recommend @250to250.bsky.social highly enough: "A series of one-minute stories of the many people, places, and events that have built our country and remind us of the power of each person to make history." MUCH more affirming of the USA's 250th bday than anything coming out of the admin

"Millions of Americans are looking for a workaround — ways to voice hope over hate, seek joy instead of despair, and wave the U.S. flag while saluting the banners of Algeria or so many places where people may not look or talk quite like us, but share the same dreams." YES!

🎸 DC Punk Archive is back on the rooftop ⚡ MLK Library kicks off the 12th season of live rooftop shows marking 50 years of punk in the U.S. Free, all-ages shows all summer bringing together fans and the DMV punk community. https://bit.ly/3YppyKm

⚽ FIFA World Cup 2026 matches are temporarily being shown on the A-Level at MLK Library while we wait until after Primary Election Day to set up the big screen in the New Books area. Mount Pleasant Library is also showing select World Cup matches throughout the tournament. 🏆📺

Someone said Caturday?

A trillionaire isn’t a success story. it’s a policy failure.

Today is the anniversary of Loving v. Virginia, the Supreme Court decision that legalized interracial marriage across all 50 states. It’s important to remember the progress we've made as we celebrate this historic win for love and equality. Happy Loving Day, everyone!

DMV, parks, plazas, lawns, and gardens are transforming into pop-up venues with scores of free shows. We’ve rounded up 13 local concert series, featuring multiple genres, food trucks galore, line dancing and … a mango festival.

Free tickets to Negro Leagues Night at Nationals Park on June 16. Includes a pregame panel moderated by Denise Rolark-Barnes, Nationals vs. Royals, and a replica Homestead Grays jersey for the first 20,000 fans. swiy.co/NegroLeagues...

Just saw Boots Riley's latest, "I Love Boosters," last night. Five stars. It appears that it may only be in theaters for another couple days. GO SEE IT. If we want interesting, outsider-y art in the movies (not just ANOTHER totally predictable super hero / action flick), we have to support it!

This is a really good point. If you're finding your paper ballot confusing (how do I rank candidates and make sure I don't accidentally spoil my ballot?), go vote in person! The machines are set up to walk you through the process & there are experts standing by to help you if you need it!

Drink water Eat your vegetables Wear sunscreen Get enough sleep (whatever that is for you) Take way less stuff personally, and take stuff way less personally - other people are thinking about you way less than you think they are Cultivate hobbies you can do all your life and with other people

Hey @wmata.com, what's the story with the new Metro Pulse app for iPhone? It updated & now has the groovy brown & white branding, but when I open it, all I get is a pretty welcome screen & then....literally nothing else. Don't make me go back to DC Metro & Bus - there are so many ads it's unusable.

DC Public Library turns 130 on June 3! Stop by your neighborhood library to leave a birthday note! Share your story and celebrate with a cookie 🍪

introduce yourself with 10 bands/musicians you’ve seen live Prince Ray Charles James Brown Chuck Brown PFunk Indigo Girls Diana Krall Eartha Kitt Arturo Sandoval Cassandra Wilson

I signed enthusiastically. What a great idea. c.org/D49KYY4wV5

Happy Centenary, Miles!

OH MY GOD. Not sure if I feel seen or attacked 😂

last day to vote on who should be included in the new ben’s chili bowl mural on u street. www.benschilibowl.com/new-mural?fb...

It's officially FREE veggie giveaway season in Washington, DC! Last year, we gave away 13,000 pounds of produce to hundreds of DC residents—and we're excited to do it again, now through November at select DPR Communal Farms.

As always, so grateful and proud to be represented by @cmcharlesallen.bsky.social. I'll be voting for him in the June DC primary and you should, too! www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sJT...

I've filed my federal taxes, but as a citizen of DC I face #TaxationWithoutRepresentation. DC isn't a state so the 700,000 people who live here have no voting representation in Congress. Will you stand with me and demand #DCStatehood now? #LetDCVote #TaxDay @dcvote.bsky.social

So many newly-planted trees are going to die if they don’t get a lot of water from YOU, their neighbors, THIS WEEK. We gotta care about the future. Water all the trees you can, now.

This is infuriating. A DEAR friend of mine died of pancreatic cancer nearly three years ago. He didn't live to see his daughter graduate college. This is straight up evil.

Who else hates litter? 🙋‍♀️🙋 (CM Allen really does. 😅🦆) Cleaning up a sidewalk is easier than you think & a lot more fun when you’re with neighbors. So, we hope you'll join the 300+ folks already signed up for the Great Ward 6 Spring Clean on April 25! RSVP: charlesallenward6.com/2026springclean

Yeah—you can print for free at all our libraries. 20 pages per day. You’re welcome 📚

WOW. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/photography/...

Still time to RSVP to come meet @dcattorneygeneral.bsky.social & learn all about OAG, including the types of issues that fall under their jurisdiction, what they're currently working on, & some of the wins they've achieved for our city. www.mobilize.us/ward6demsdc/...

Diana Krall at Blues Alley. Trombone Shorty at several small clubs in NOLA when Orleans & Claiborne first came out.

Hi. I'm gonna remind you, once again, that you can go into the accessibility options in settings and turn on the toggle that doesn't let you post without alt text.

This is, of course, hilarious, since locals know we're all on countdown to the annual deluge of Educational Spring Break Family Trips to DC. And the perennial Two Tips for Tourists: For the love of God, STAND right, WALK left. "The Mall" is not a place where you go to buy stuff.

The short version is, of course: You learn from your mistakes. This does a great job of describing how that happens.

The DC Streetcar is done, ten years and one month after it started operating on H Street NE. It could have been wonderful; it could have been extended. Instead, it was a victim of apathy and lack of caring. Long live the streetcar.

Happy birthday Metro! You rock & we ❤️ you!

Is there a spot in your neighborhood that could use some trash pickup? Host a site for the Great Ward 6 Spring Clean on April 25! It’s easy: email Kate at [email protected], & we’ll help recruit volunteers & provide supplies for pickup. All you have to do is show up that Saturday & pitch in!

Earth Day Cleanup Registration is Open! Shout out to a few of our past Earth Day cleanup volunteers who helped us remove trash and beautify our communities. Hear what they had to say about their experience and consider signing up! 🌍🍃Visit bit.ly/awscleanup for more information and to register.

I wish that Pentagon request would silence any sort of "we can't afford ..." (I know it won't.) If we can find $200B to sooth the ego of sundowning narcissist, we can afford to fund ANYTHING. Including air traffic control. EVERY aspect of degraded service we see is a CHOICE.

Hey UPS, I was trying to do you a favor on a signature required package that's due to arrive on a day we won't be home. But you want to charge me $10 to change the date so you don't have to stop here twice? Guess you can just come back the following day for free.

Where you live it's likely not possible to just post soldiers up on the streets forever but residents of the District of Columbia don't have the same rights as people in other cities abcnews.com/Politics/pen...

The deadline for nominating petitions for the DC primary and the special election was yesterday, so we now have a better idea of who will be on our ballots, though of course some people might still be removed by petition challenges. #DCElections

Professor Streetcar bestowed plenty of lessons — about the fecklessness of the only administration to oversee it, about why America struggles to build good transit, and more.

I have been to Valley Forge and the Franklin Institute approximately infinity times.
