The @dcpubliclibrary.bsky.social People's Archives is highlighting a collection of Exposed DC photographs right now. How much nicer is it to enjoy our local photographers' celebration of D.C. instead of whatever nonsense is going on in this town today... digdc.dclibrary.org

Growing up in SE MA, Cape Verde was such a huge part of our community, this is a JOY

Sorry I was so wrong about this

Was blessed by the Croatia team bus on the way home from the gym, it’s going to be a great Tuesday everyone

My partner in the highest highs and lowest lows, NSF’s loss is GMU’s huge gain. Onward, friend 💕 [insert custom Teams emoji here]

⚒️ 🧪 A catastrophic earthquake just struck northern Venezuela. Large buildings have collapsed, and the USGS PAGER is forecasting thousands of fatalities. Our colleague in Caracas, Dr. Frank Audemard, has shared with us what the earthquake felt like and footage from the region. Here’s what we know.

“And the building shakes in Seattle!” PNSN’s seismic stations captured the crowd response to both Alex Freeman’s goal and the VAR decision overturning the offside call. It’s #USMNT 2 to Australia 0 at half-time. #WorldCup2026 #FIFAWorldCup #SportsSeismology

Love hearing the entire neighborhood cheer from our backyard

Ran to pickup my wine club stash and this was happening and it’s good! Two more bottles, coming home with me. U boj, u boj, za narod svoj or whatever the Croatians chant!!!

From here it looks pretty calm idk

While my flight is delayed at ACK let me tell you that I’ve been at the Nantucket Book Festival all weekend, and it’s wildly rejuvenating to be around hundreds of people who love reading and literacy and independent thought and changemaking for good.

Nothing says “I’m in MA in June” like drinking a canned vodka cran on a bench next to a giant rainbow outside the whaling museum

On a tour of regional bikeshare programs

Welcome to the 2026 Volcano World Cup! Here's a little introductory post about the Volcano World Cup for the uninitiated. Look for Group A coming out at the end of the week to start us off. eruptions.site/2026/06/08/w... #volcanoworldcup

A driver yelled “F* you, B*” at me in a crosswalk at 7:30 this morning but sure, pedestrians are the problem

Gorgeous, again

Hello fellow scientists, I see a lot of conversation about this document, encourage you to read it, and would like to reinforce that it is open for Public Comment until July 13. www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

Important update: thanks to the Canadian and US Postal Systems and @sarahbagley.bsky.social’s family it is now critically important that we host this event, and soon

I know every word to “It Takes Two” and have just learned (while re-enacting the entire song for him) that my husband has never heard it, I am bereft

A great explainer if you’re wondering what happened in Hawai’i earlier today!

Happy Fantastic Birthday to @portcityposter.bsky.social (and his brother), please enjoy this photo of them cosplaying the Kennedys

I have to get my Official Passport renewed and went to the expediter who has handled NSF stuff for as long as I’ve been there and they were so joyful to see me walk in, still employed, that I almost cried in the dang photo. Lovely humans are lovely.

This made me feel a lot of feels I wasn't ready for this morning! But I also lol'd and my keyboard is covered in coffee. What a great summary of this long day, this long fight, this great city.

This is rapidly leading to an “everyone come over and try the 42 pounds of candies Jenn ordered” event

A thing I was surprised to learn about myself in Austria was how much I adore a fruity hard candy. But most shops don’t export, and I cannot find anything comparable in the US. We are a land of lollipops and that’s about it. So please: tell me your favorite gettable hard candies!

This thread, this thing that happened to my friend today, and that happens to too many people every day, this is why we fight.

WE DID IT 😭🚲💕🔥

Go @elenah.bsky.social! Perfect person to kick this off

Our printer’s broken so I’m hand-writing my comments over coffee, see you all there, it’s going to be A Lot, let’s go!

It’s Bike to Work Day! Our building’s not ready but @moxnrox.bsky.social and I rode there anyway

Truly love how much of my (non-ALX) feed is rage-posting about the absence of the film The Core from this study. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

If I had an office building I would not be able to take this perfect floof for midday walkies

THREAD. A while ago my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the worrying weeks dragged on my dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time & inhabiting art's most iconic scenes. What he produced (& how quickly) was phenomenal...

Number 21, let’s gooooo

Had an absolute blast at the Ride for Braddock this morning! A lovely way to start a Sunday. And if you haven’t written Council yet, now’s the time.

More weddings should involve doggo cocktail napkins

First peony bloom!

The library book sale broke records this week, and now a neighbor is building a competing LFL on our tiny street. Alexandrians Be Reading!

My story on the NSB terminations:

Breaking: Trump has fired the membership of the National Science Board, which is oversees NSF. I have confirmed separately with multiple now-former members of NSB.

It is relentless.

Episode 45 of Kīlauea’s ongoing eruption

Happy Earth Day! A lot of bad things are happening but I love the Earth.

First-ever woman-led Alexandria city government in 276 years ❤️

I’m on a boat

I brake for sea creatures

Who needs the Presidents’ Race when you can have a Salmon Run (Sockeye won)

Starting Seattle out right by teaching the niblings about Chihuly

Oh, wow. So many other worlds visible in the background of the Artemis II view from eclipse, peeking out of the haze of the solar corona. Thanks @tunctezel.bsky.social for labeling!
