Washington Gas utility lines drawn on snow

I went to lunch and came back 30 min later and in that time frame that giant pile of snow fell from the awning! It could have hurt someone!

What is this map lol

So ok not to be the worst but this is bad design for a bike room: 1) behind breakable glass and visible/easy to scope and steal 2) barely wide enough to fit a bike in there when there are other bikes, let alone a longtail or bakfiets 3) only 3 floor racks and 3 wall racks?! With 20-some units

36% of DC households don't have a car—the highest rate of any major county outside NYC Those car-free households are concentrated near metro stops, especially between Dupont, Foggy Bottom, & McPherson. Green line stops like Columbia Heights, Navy Yard, & Anacostia also stand out

The Gonzaga kids are shoveling the football field with just personal shovels 😂 - that’s gonna take a week lol

😍😍😍 It's almost #TranspoBINGO time. Get ready to play your way through the city, advocating for people-first transportation and meeting cool people along the way.

I agree!

Taking a teams call on the D80 bus is madlad behavior

New research finds negligible benefit from "minimum passing distance" laws requiring drivers to give cyclists space when overtaking them. Protected bike lanes are far more effective. doi.org/10.1016/j.jc...

Sneckdown beauty

I walked 3 miles to a work event tonight in D.C. I was 10 mins late due to the horrible state of sidewalks (due to the intense snow/ice storm here last week). But I was the first person there by 15+ mins bc everyone else took Lyft & got stuck in car traffic, took 40+ mins to go 3 miles by car.

Things cyclists say: “the going rate for a cowbell seems to be 10 bucks”

Someone remind me: if you’re in prek 3 and want to remain at the school for prek 4, you don’t have to lottery again, right? You just reenroll at enrollment time?

The pitch had evolved to fear-mongering

Even though the lottery isn’t first come first serve anymore, I was still one of the crazy people in line at noon (at least 110 of us)

Breaking: Groundhog Phil sees shadow... This means: SIX MORE WEEKS OF WINTER!!!

We finally bought Wingspan and just tried to teach ourselves to play it. We’ll make attempt #2 this evening.

My house is freezing but unfortunately I’ve found that doing gross chores like cleaning out the dishwasher filter and swiffering the icy shoe prints off the wood floors has warmed me up.

Evergreen tweet

“mommy pretend you have an uneasy feeling” 👀

Ok finished this book and I am now insisting that DCPS name the new Shaw middle school after Thomas Smallwood!! boundarystones.weta.org/2024/09/03/t...

We haven’t biked in a week or so due to snow and Jackie told me he misses biking today and can’t wait to bike to school again.

Half an igloo

Does anyone else have a very protective cat who follows you when you get up in the middle of the night for a glass of water to make sure you’re ok? Just me?

Death Sentences

Considering a staycation sleepover with 3 friends for our soon-to-be 7 year old's birthday. Has anyone ever done this before in DC? Any DC-area recommend hotels where this could reasonably happen?

Loving this book so far! Basically a free Black man in DC began the Underground Railroad and then wrote satire about successful escapes, mocking the slaveholders and exposing their secrets.

Large hot tubs have been placed around New York City to melt snow after the city received about 12 inches over the weekend. nyti.ms/3McFnBO

A ride for Alex Pretti is being organized in DC on Saturday, 1/31. Meetup at Dupont Circle Fountain at 1pm, roll at 130. Dress warmly and wear layers. #BikeDC www.instagram.com/p/DUERoBsj6e...

👀 #TranspoBINGO is almost here! Don't forget to RSVP to get details as soon as they drop.

My big embarrassment for the day: I was desperately trying to shovel more snow on my sidewalk and obviously failing. Probably looked like a helpless baby bird. And then the mailman comes along and grabs the shovel and does the whole thing for me like it was no problem.

A stunning 18 percent of car-owning U.S. residents indicated that they were "strongly interested" in living car-free, and another 40 percent said that they were "open" to it, according to a survey. usa.streetsblog.org/2026/01/21/s...

This may seem small potatoes compared to everything else. But DC is a top tier bike city and they continue to try to grind us down every day in every imaginable way. Every small joy and safety worthy of federal intervention and destruction.

Starting to feel pretty early-pandemic-y with no childcare for 3 days straight but work asking for in-office

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Me: I wish I was a witch Jack: you mean Woman In Total Control of Herself (W.I.T.C.H)?

I watched someone idle their car on a narrow street for 5 minutes, who then yelled at me not to walk in the road. What I should have said: “if you can block traffic for 5 minutes, so can I.”

More sneckdowns

Taking the kid and his friends to the one camp that’s open, in Eastern Market. We left the house at 8. We are not there yet at 9. 😂

Absolutely art with the March for life kids behind us

Watching someone dig their stuck car out of the gas station

Real, "You can't kill us all" energy on display here. (Also, weird, I was told using a vehicle as a weapon was cause for summary execution!)

Oh come on

I don't think you're ready for the sneckdown Break you into pieces in a world of pain 'cause you're all the same Yeah, it's the sneckdown A demon with no feelings don't deserve to live, it's so obvious

Post your #sneckdown pics in the replies and show @mayor.nyc.gov how much space is available to make streets safer!

snowpen streets

Ddot why haven’t you plowed the cycle tracks yet?!? 😂

Shaw Snow

Royal is open for anyone in Shaw looking for somewhere to go
