I spent around 16min hobbling my way on what normally is a 4min walk to the high school next door to my condo campus just to vote in today's single-race special election that's expected to not be all that close. When I say that I believe every vote counts, I mean it! #VA11 #IVoted

Gonna miss a fair number of shows, but I go through them so slowly anyway, not a huge loss. I finished one of my faves today, so now that's that. Time to make the cut.
Honestly the TV App's UI was really slow and unresponsive anyway!

Hey @wmata.com I just got off at my home station (Vienna) and want to report a near-constant and rather impressive 3-5Hz bounce/rattle in this car, 7294. Can you check its wheels soon?

I'm by no means a good soccer player, but I've been lucky enough to be on good teams fairly often over the past 2-3 years ⚽🏳️🌈🥇

So glad to finally get a good snow! Sadly, having a non-academia remote job means I have no excuse available to take a snow day 😅 but man my place is pretty with all this white~

17 people rankings 29 teams? Well that sounds like a fun statistics exercise to me. No one seem to really know how the West will play out this year, apparently.... I'm bullish on a @stlcitysc.bsky.social playoff run this year though!
