When you see construction debris in a foreign land—you have to post about it. That’s the rule and what I’ll do!

Some flowers tucked between an alley, a fence and a basketball court. It’s amazing how nature finds a way to keep on being fabulous even when surrounded by concrete!

💯 this. Ebikes replace car trips, not bike trips and are FUN! My life is measurably better because of my ebike. Love starting my day off riding my kid to school. And, to emphasize, agree it is (more than) okay to have fun, even in these very trying times.

Glad we’re one step closer to joining our neighbors Maryland and Virginia on this. It’s important that our region continues to have access to safe and effective vaccines without unnecessary barriers.

NEWS: The D.C. Council just passed an emergency bill allowing anyone to get a COVID-19 vaccine without a doctor's prescription, which have been requested recently due to changes in federal vaccine recommendations. (And some D.C. residents have had to go to Maryland or Virginia.)

NEWS: The revised $3.7 billion Commanders stadium deal gets final approval in the D.C. Council, with only @robertwhitedc.bsky.social and @brianneknadeau.bsky.social voting against it. @cmfrumin.bsky.social changed his vote from the first vote in August, and supported the deal. Trayon White was yes.

If you believe homeowners and renters shouldn't be taxed out of their neighborhoods, corporations should pay their fair share, and #NewOrleans deserves an Assessor who works for the people - then let's come together to elect Casius Pealer and give our city the leadership it deserves.
