Branching out into designing things that go on cargo bikes for dogs. It’s niche but can really see the market growing so getting in early with @mountvernontrail.bsky.social @bunchbikes.bsky.social
DC DPW just picked up the leaves on our street and it looks niiiiiiiiice. Helps that @dcwater.bsky.social has no parking signs up so the leaf guys don’t have parked cars to contend with.

Hi @wmata.com! Super excited to apply for your graphic designer position and work with the cool kids. However, your listing is missing a salary which is required by DC law as of June 2024. Can your fans get a salary range, please?

Not enough cold for you so far? No problem.
Sunday-Monday looks VERY cold. Pictured are the high temperature forecasts for both days.
Gusty winds should make it feel several degrees colder than the air temp on Sunday, and wind chills could be in the single digits early Monday AM.

This is precisely what my family does to deal with heartbreaking grief. When we had to put our dog down after a very long life, we sang along to, very loudly in the house, as we were all crying, Monty Python's "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life." Feels very Irish to me.
Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

I know Americans overly romanticize Europe but I still think moving to a little house on a canal in the Netherlands could solve like 82% of my problems

Looking forward to Neutra no longer being used as body copy with the new mayoral administration. It should be used as headlines only.

I ventured into leafy upper NW for some culture: to hear @tombridge.com and Choralis sing festive tunes. Then (finally) visited Comet Ping Pong. Now safely back in lower NE with a full belly and heart.

While I didn't buy anything at the Congressional Cemetery Holiday Market, I did discover thepersiantable.com/ which has multiple flavors of baklavah and a very lovely person running the table. They'll be @ Yalda Market in Brookland Sat 12/13 & Union Station 12/17. Perfect little gift-sized boxes!

I'm gonna need employers in the DMV to stop thinking $70/$75k a year is a reasonable high-end range of salary for the amount of experience they're looking for with non-remote options.
