Flying on Southwest soon, for the first time since they abandoned open seating. I find this new process so much more stressful (and expensive).
I have zero idea who Tom Holland and Zendaya are outside of that Umbrella lip sync video.
You can read several of the legal filings in the Reflecting Pool liner case in the DC Superior Court's database and it's as absurd as you can imagine.

Does anyone with pharma insight know why (common, generic, non-addictive) drugs are packaged in 30-pill bottles and then prescribed in 90-day batches? When did we stop giving pharmacies bulk batches of these pills and having them count them out, so I only have to take home one bottle?

Sometimes when I’m donating blood, I wonder about an emergency where I have to rush out and stab myself internally. Or even just forget and bend my arm to scratch an itch. Good times with intrusive thoughts
Possibly my new favorite emoji for all my group texts is the magic wand 🪄 #eldestdaughter #fixer
This late July cloudy, not hot, low humidity scene in #dcwx today feels ominous and unsettling.
Part of my community building for my ANC campaign tonight was learning which dachshund likes dogs (Pickles) and which dachshund doesn’t like dogs (Ralph)
This reminds me that I found two backpacks (one kid-styled, one adult-styled) on the upper blocks of North Capitol a few days ago. The adult one was empty; the kid one had a library book inside. I have both secured.
