I get to do cool things with @GUberkleycenter, @GlobalGtown, and Washington, DC CRC. Other loves: color, hats, my husband, plants, bubble tea & transit policy.

When there are five e-bikes at the @bikeshare dock but mysteriously all of them are suddenly unavailable exactly when I try to use one. 😕🤨😠

Hey @DASHBus, what happened to the southbound 34 that was supposed to leave Potomac Yard at 3:00pm today? I waited at Route 1 and Potomac Ave for 15 minutes, but it never came. 30 minute headways are untenable if some of those are ghost buses (and I'm a customer with options).

This is exactly why I subscribe and donate monthly to @CTmagazine. I don't always agree with what I find in their pages, but I always expect it to be something I can respectfully and thoughtfully engage with. (1/3) christianitytoday.com/2025/0…

It helps make me a more Christ-like Christian. "We understand it’s frustrating to some that Christianity Today does not fall neatly into their political agenda. We consider it a strength." (2/3)

"That bothers those who would conscript us for one party. Yet it makes us indispensable for anyone who wishes to examine all parties according to Scripture. If you yearn for good Christian sense in a sea of nonsense, you should subscribe." (3/3) christianitytoday.com/member…

Sometimes I love public transit, and sometimes I rush to make the bus but end both missing the bus and forgetting something at home.

My favorite hat store! If you've seen me in an Easter hat/fascinator, this is where I got it. I'm so grateful for all the Black saints who kept the tradition of church hats alive for me to discover.

Of course on the same day my @JBLaudio Bluetooth earbuds stop pairing and @GooglePlay sends a generic error and refuses to load any info. I tried uninstalling the JBL app to fix the pairing, and now I can't reinstall it because Play is down. I've cleared cache & restarted 6+. 😠

I don't want to have to factory reset my phone for an annoying DF-DFERH-01 code.

As someone who always used to gets Nerds Blizzards from Dairy Queen as a child, the fact that gummy clusters are now available is a delicious development I very much enjoy. nytimes.com/2024/10/29/us/ne…

This is my least favorite season to live in Del Ray because my neighborhood is into spookiness, and I am not. Normally I'm a big fan of colorful outdoor lights and nighttime strolls...not right now.

"Sunny, dry days are much more the norm in late September and early October. In fact, we’re near the apex of fall’s “nice day” peak in the region, characterized by sunshine, low humidity and highs in the 70s." Why I'm miserable: gloom/humidity when it should be sunny/glorious.
It has now rained in DC on 11 straight days. This is the second longest streak in more than 150 years of records. Why has this happened? When it will end? Details ⤵️ washingtonpost.com/weather/2…
