Monarchs and marigolds enjoying the sunshine today.

throwing this together this morning I remembered a @mrtinmd.bsky.social (I think?) tweet from a million years ago about how the HP bathrooms are visible in on the strava heatmap and honestly I think it makes the shirt way better. (wabastore.square.site)

This is awful. :( #bikeDC wjla.com/news/local/c...

@kerrinsuzanne.bsky.social @imgoph.bsky.social What's the best time of year to plant a new tree in my west-facing front yard? It's a windy spot, gets full sun, rocky soil, elevation 500', zone 7A. Would like a short-medium size tree that won't blow over in 20 years - any suggestions? Thank you!

I hate the way the media is framing this. It's not a "rift", or a "trade war", or a "dispute" - it's 100% attributable to Trump's unilateral and irrational desire to troll Canada using an outdated and stupid tariff regime. Call it what it is!

I really miss eating salads. 😭

Interesting - Frederick, MD might become home to a cricket stadium? www.wypr.org/wypr-news/20...

The USA is out of the foot sports thingey, so why is my timeline still filled with “Goal!” “Woo!” “Good save!”? I was hoping the phenomenon would at least subside a bit. 😬😭

It's unfortunate that pets, zoo animals, birds, and wildlife in general, can't wear noise-canceling headphones. :(

I sincerely hope the next Democratic president, forcefully and unapologetically, wields all of the new powers and privileges the Supreme Court has granted the Executive Branch, as a means of rooting out every last Trump crony.

Seeing all the posts out of DC about flyovers, National Guard troops everywhere, fences, barriers, wrestling arena, etc - I’m really glad I moved a couple of counties away from the noise and chaos.

He's really good at combining inefficiency, wasting money, and pure evil.

Sounds like DC Bike Party!

Bike shop & coffee bar on Main Street.

Never using paper currency again, except as toilet paper.

The beginning of next week looks to have another bone-chilling polar vortex incursion into the mid-Atlantic. 🥶🙄🤬😧 😩

Ugh, this is so true. 😩

I wish all the ordnance expended in this campaign could have been sent to Ukraine to use for their defense instead. 😩

All these headlines and post-SOTU articles are mundanely worded, and fitted into a traditional political narrative, continuing the sanewashing the media has been doing for Trump for years. What message? Deranged ranting? How about point out his repetitive lies using 4th grade vocabulary?

Nacho cheese flavored Doritos.

The worst thing about the threat of snow on Sunday, even if it doesn’t happen, is that cities & counties will spread excessive amounts of salt everywhere. All the recent rain has just washed all the streets, bike lanes & trails clean. 😩😭

@taratlk.bsky.social I recall @jerdlngr.bsky.social mentioned you were looking for a photo of this statue in Frederick awhile back. We were walking by it today and the lighting was good, so I snapped a pic for you.

Just heard on WTOP that 2 women riding e-bikes were struck, one killed, by a garbage truck at Georgia & Upshur in DC. Anybody have more details? Awful! #bikedc

Photo from last night’s walk around the neighborhood in northern Frederick County, MD. This is looking west towards the Catoctins. Pic by @jerdlngr.bsky.social with edits/cropping by me.

I’ll be rooting for Denmark in all events they’re competing in! 🇩🇰

Unpopular opinion, but I wish it had been an all-rain event, followed by normal January (~45) weather - would have helped with the drought, washed away all the salt, and left the streets, bike lanes, and trails nice and clean.

Pretty much any sandwich from Farmhouse Exchange off Rt. 15 in northern Frederick County MD.

STATEMENT: Maryland’s childhood vaccine schedule will continue to follow the guidance of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Read the full statement from Health Secretary Dr. Meena Seshamani: bit.ly/3Nffp0B.

"Trump said he would take an active role in their design."

This is bonkers. Having lived in Columbia Heights for 20 years, I honestly don't miss the drama, the chaos, the noise. It's always something!

What happened to Ian Livingston? Haven’t seen a post from him in ages.

Ooh!

I asked ChatGPT to compare the size of Chesapeake Bay to the Great Lakes, and to overlay a map of it onto the Great Lakes region. This is the result. Yikes!

RELEASE: The Maryland Department of Health protects broad vaccine access for Marylanders - makes recommendations rooted in science. State issues guidance for clinicians, consumers and a statewide standing order for COVID-19 vaccines. Learn more: bit.ly/3Kct7jt.

@govwesmoore.bsky.social Can Maryland please join this?!

Hard agree.

Thank you, vaccines!

"Well, at least it's not actively bleeding!" is something I find myself saying/thinking more often as I get older, and have various health troubles with teeth, ears, skin, etc. #aging #GenX

There were two Space Force personnel in Mt. Vernon Square Metro station this morning, and I wondered if they were thinking "this isn't what I signed up for when I became a missile technician".

@jerdlngr.bsky.social I think you'll ace this test, right?
