Happy DC Emancipation Day!   Today, we honor the anniversary of the abolition of slavery in the District and the liberation of more than 3,000 enslaved people.   We also reflect on the ongoing work to build a DC where freedom is fully realized—through equity, opportunity, and dignity for all.

Somehow took 32 years to finally have my first nosebleed. What a wild experience, particularly before bed. Growing up, I always felt bad for my friends where this was their normal. Not my preferred type of drip.

For the first time in over a decade, D.C. is facing an open mayoral race — and it’s coming at an uncertain time. Get the answers *you* need to (ranked-choice) vote for mayor at our April 20 forum with @washingtoninformer.com, Spotlight DC, + @dcpubliclibrary.bsky.social. RSVP for free tickets:

Spent the day at the library and planned to work late on my zines. Instead I spent it with my wife, one of our friends and my mother-in-law for cheese, wine and Derry Girls. Life isn’t always rosy, but seeking joy and good company is essential to keep going. These times are blessed and humbling.

I’m trying so hard to keep going on low-to-no budget. I’m trying to continue outreach and be positive and patient while show how my business’s image quality can add value. I just don’t know if any of that actually matters as the bills stack up. Might be delusional but I’m trying.

I'm looking for a Black woman photographer in the DMV and/or Baltimore area. Can you all do me a solid and repost this, please? Thank you 🫶🏽

I’ve been clenching my jaw more lately and starting to grind my teeth overnight. Likely stress related. Lots of trying to “get through“ while also aware of a lot of compounding pressures (ie. bills). But I’m alive, so there’s still a chance(?)! What’s the mustard seed to dollars conversion rate?

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

Only 50 years?! This could’ve been so many cities of similar land sizes or metro area populations. It can be get expensive depending on how much you travel. But it’s a full 180 from growing up in Louisville, where we had an extensive trolley system, but now a bus system that… exists.

Focus has been rough today. Now I'm hearing someone play the Cardigan's "Lovefool" in the distance. Feels like a bit of dark humor from the universe, where the only reasonable response is "😂 fuck you 😂" and give some dap.

I, a now 32-year-old human, shouldn’t be so excited about their birthday because that fleeting, joyous, not guaranteed accomplishment for living is “for kids.” St. Patrick’s Day is about folks getting rid of snakes in our lives. This day is *meant* for grown folks lol.

Surviving after being in abusive spaces is terrifying and so lonely. I still can’t say my last employer’s name without wanting to scream and sob because the experience was that bad.

I'm so hyped for my peace lily's bloom this spring. Last year was a lot of "getting to know you" care/maintenance. This year's effort feels more intentional, making the growth process fun to watch and exciting to contribute to its health. It feels like an extension of taking care of my own health!

Sometimes I walk into a room at home, see my cats, and immediately want to happy+ugly cry. I love my rambunctious goofs so much.

A 400mm lens is a photographer's best friend. Especially when you wanna get close to something. Beautiful weather here in Alameda, Calif. #photography

Frustrated by fragmented war news, Anghami’s Elie Habib built World Monitor, a platform that fuses global data, like aircraft signals and satellite detections, to track conflicts as they unfold.

Slight tangent from sports coverage, but thinking about current events: it’s really hard to enjoy a game and the good it brings when folks in other parts of the world — who look up to the athletes playing — are mercilessly and unnecessarily killed for politics and mediocre egos.

Gazelle isn’t the only group trying these methods. Sometimes schools, entertainment acts or venues add these clauses to credential applications in order to get free content. Gear’s expensive, I have bills. I can offer specialty licensing, but I won’t work for free.
