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. Opinions my own.
Okay, so hypothetically, if I'm going to be spending an unknown amount of time at the Del Pepper Center, where is the nearest playground for my kids to play at before I need to hustle them back to testify during a public hearing
Hot take: wearing socks when you sleep is normal and not at all weird

Alert alert my Airbnb has a jelly candle! Cue 90s nostalgia
To no one's surprise, I talk most like someone from Michigan! 👋🏼 I suppose the 55% (thought it'd be higher) reflects the fact that I haven't lived there in 20 years.
Stephanie Elms@stephelms.bsky.social · last mo.This tracks. Raised in upstate NY but both my parents were born & raised in NJ and both sets of grandparents (and extended family growing up) lived in NJ. Had been wondering if living in Virginia for 40 years was going to affect this, but guess not. mydialect.us
Okay has everyone been sleeping on Galactic Panther or just me? We went to an art showing there tonight and it was so cool!
My 4yo, while we're driving home from Aslin Brewery: "I want to live over here [in the West End]. Then we could walk to [SportRock] rock climbing!"
The Rosemont list serve says NIMBY is a slur. What a wild email chain today.
There's a mom here at Atlas Alx with a shirt that reads: "Climate Change Is Here. Build More Bike Lanes." 💚🚲🌎🍻⚽
My brother is a professional percussionist. I can't even hold 4 mallets in my hands, let alone play marimba with them. 🙃🎵

Look, I get it, a lot of you aren't enthusiastic this week because it's the Men's World Cup, not the actual World Cup -- but give it a chance. Boys play soccer, too!
Big ups to whoever scheduled Preschool 2 swim lessons to overlap with synchronized swim practice at Minnie Howard. These gals are swimming to a Rihanna medley of Rude Boy and We Found Love!! 🏊🏼♀️🏊🏼♀️

DOSAAAAAA get in my bellayyyyyyy (for real this was delicious everyone please go eat at Sundara - the hidden indian restaurant in the braddock metro office park)
The Zebra braddock road "comics" these past two days have legit made me livid. Smdh How are these equal "roasts" in any way??
TIL Dairy G bathroom has a framed patent of a banana split! Fab! 🍦🍌🖼️
If council rewards anti-safety organizers for verbally abusing staff, bullying supporters, & silencing debate by tearing down signs & censoring community listservs we are going to see all of those tactics repeated, worse, in the future This has been so much more toxic than even zoning for housing
Boba alert - new spot in the convenience store by Master Yangs! Stay tuned for my review 1/x
Um ok so AlxSkeeters I met @maureencoffeyva.bsky.social and she was lovely? How I am supposed to steal Shirlington from her when she's willing to put her campaign stickers on pies and leave them on park benches?
Gonna email the city council tomorrow to remind them that the candidate who supported bike lanes on Braddock won, and the candidate who opposed them lost, and it wasn't close, not even in the affected neighborhoods.
