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

I saw a rotating digital bus stop ad for this movie today lol

My personal cure for the horrors of the events today is to do a science fair project and hang out/dinner with several other family friends ❤️❤️❤️

Rumblings to reconsider Virginia Beach's decision not to extend Norfolk light rail to the beach. www.whro.org/local-govern...

90s kid

Oh no my favorite bike is back in stock 👀👀👀👀

The cats’ favorite day is WFH day so they can cling to me like needy babies

Guys we went to Georgetown to collect water samples for the science fair and we saw A BEAVER!!

NEW: The National Weather Service has raised the winter storm threat to its highest level for Sunday for the entire DC region. This means a high threat of a high impact winter storm that causes significant travel delays, closures and threats to life and property.

I made a Snow Mann at Constitution Gardens back in Snowpocalypse 2010. Maybe Jack can recreate this picture on Sunday.

It's his time to shine this weekend!

❄️ Odds rising for one of D.C.’s biggest winter storms in years Heavy snow/ice late Sat into early Monday, w/ bitter cold. Several inches likely, double digits plausible. Temps: Teens to low 20s. Still 4–5 days out, details evolving. Briefing link: www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026...

In a long, scathing interview, a member of the DC National Guard accuses the Trump administration of "parading [us] around to intimidate people." He talks candidly about what his deployment has been like.

Because we don’t have a car we don’t have to worry about digging our car out of 2 feet of snow

Should I message the absentee developers of the vacant property next door and offer to shovel their section of sidewalk (that I’d have to walk on anyway) on Sunday if they Venmo me $50?

Jesus

If I'm being honest, the collapse of the post-Cold War international order and the violent occupation of an American city are making it difficult for me to concentrate on housing policy.

Keren finally reopened after the fire and it is perfectly unchanged.

Aurora a good bet this evening - look as soon as it gets dark. At KP9, aurora is often viewable around DC even with urban lights. Although aurora may be visible to the naked eye in such an intense event, cell phone cameras and other long-exposure photography will capture it more strongly.

Brian when we left: how did it make you feel? Me: it’s kind of like seeing the Great Barrier Reef — I’m glad I saw it while I still could?

Went to Archives today for the first time in - what - 15 years? - and I dunno, what a weird time to go.

Like a year late, but we finally saw the butter dress and butter cow

Hey, so it actually only has to make sense to me for me to do it and I don’t feel like explaining it to anyone else.

Après Ski hair

Hitting the slopes!

Omg this house is truly so cool redf.in/mrmZP2
