Here for the local ALX politics. Also probably a good mix of climate action fangirling and sci-fi/fantasy/romance book love. Too excited to worry about typos.

It was so fun shouting hi to friends in the Scottish walk parade! Also Hugo held an epic sword, Ebenezer Scrooge scowled with Little Theatre of Alexandria, and Hugo waved constantly to increase his odds of candy throwing. (Don't worry, he shared his candy with bro who walked with the Scouts)

Twas the morning of #AlxBeercember and all through the house, not a creature was drinking, not even a mouse. The beers were chilled in the fridge with care, in hopes that Marta&Jarred soon would be there

The bounce house at Pohick Bay this weekend has 15min time slots and as such has a line out the wazoo. This is all @justindotnet.bsky.social's fault for not having shorter time windows.
