just thinking about the way even as a ✨Volunteer✨ for the National Park Service, collecting my $7/day stipend, it was instilled in us the responsibility of protecting govt property, funds, equipment, not abusing the public trust

sometimes I pop in here and have no idea what the Outrage du jour is and I just think there’s so much (gestures broadly) happening, I don’t think we need to go creating faux outrage

that thing when you can’t send texts but everything else works 🫠

ohhhh surely there is a place to watch Premier League in Vancouver bc tomorrow is the day ❤️💙🦅

Ride On Bus driver’s instincts help reunite missing woman with her family

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide! It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers. It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

looking forward to my post-event survey 🙂

Reminder! 👉 This weekend, there will be temporary service changes for Blue, Orange, & Silver line customers! ⬇️ Rosslyn & Arlington Cemetery Stations will be closed. Free Shuttle Bus service will be provided. Learn more: wmata.com/about/news/U...

You see this outside go back in.

What if people stopped treating autism as a disorder and started being inclusive and accommodating of neurodiversity?

when I try to explain my brain function before vs since cancer, people are like oh no, surely your brain is fine 👀 um, no, actually, it is not. But it’s better now than it was 10 years ago! …wait, what year is it?

🚸TONIGHT🚸 MCDOT will hold a community meeting this Wednesday, Sept. 24, to discuss proposed #pedestriansafety improvements for Kensington Parkwood ES. 🌟The meeting will begin at the intersection of Clearbrook Lane and Cedar Lane. 🔗 tinyurl.com/3xwrud8e (📷from KPES) @montgomerycountymd.bsky.social

@fooddatanerd.com today is the day! 🧠 thinking of y’all 🧡🙏🏼 wishing you excellent care and warm blankets

The British media will have to reckon with how it reports Trump (and indeed, Farage) in the coming months. Giving false claims endless airtime will not work. Nor will clickbait “is Tylenol linked to autism?” headlines. There is a way to hold account without publicising him. We’ve not found it yet.

at the How many books can I pack? and Do I need to bring my laptop? part of packing

friend is about to find out I kind of wear the same thing all the time (answer to the question How do you pack for 7 days in a carry on backpack?) 🙂

adding basic navigation to my transit tutorial; some retired NCO has forgotten how to use a map 🙄

also reminding myself to remind someone not to text and drive

I think people underestimate the cultural differences between the eastern and western United States. like it’s easy to focus on north-south, but we are a pretty vast and varied place, and greater DC is very different from, for example, Montana

using all my PTO as I go; October is for all the medical appointments

Virginia Metro stations have these nice awnings that provide shade on their bus loops. When can we upgrade MoCo Metro stations/bus loops?

grabbed backup Metro cards out of the pile; can’t wait to find out if there’s any $ on them

oh it’s raining in Virginia

I get to do a transit tutorial for someone and it’s my favorite; I’m so excited! 😊🚇🚌

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

someone* mentioned the train and I got to enthuse about Rockville Station being multimodal 🙂🛴🚲🚌🚇🚌🚆🚆 *it was me

“you must be opening that website wrong” is one of my favorite assessments of a portal timing out 🙃

Happy Bisexual Pride Day! Today is a day we recognize and celebrate bisexual people, the bisexual community, and the history of bisexuality.

hmmm are we freestyling on the red line this morning? that’s quite the wait at platform with doors closed 🚇

wondering if there is another transit app update bc the most recent one now has the number of stops wrong 😕 “2 stops until” station that is 3 stops away, consistently 👀

At least I didn’t fall for your 4 min bs this morning, southbound bus; we all know you’re going to hold at Rockville 🚌

why is phone keyboard not cooperating

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

Ending USDA’s 30-year food security survey hides hunger in America. We need evidence to fight hunger—not erase it. FRAC urges USDA to continue this critical research: frac.org/news/foodsec...

thinking about the high level of competence that was previously required of the people appointed to run federal departments and agencies

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

the bright spot of my day was that IT fixed my computer so I have sound again 🙂 it is really cool to get same day service from IT; that’s not a thing everywhere

Trump & RFK Jr are classic snake oil hucksters. I wish it were funny, but their eugenics ideology & ableist illness politics are dangerous.

how does my head not explode every day?

The answer may not surprise you! Because it’s yes
