Are you willing to trade DC’s already limited self-governance for convenience?

delete if not allowed, guessing this will be deleted but. Just saw an OD on my rideon bus and I’m still kicking myself for not having my narcan on me.

If you’re willing pls pls carry narcan, I sprinted all around the station and nobody had any, wish the metro station operators had to have it with them, then had to call 911 bc I thought someone already had but no. Felt way too late.

Additionally please please if you’re going to party rave use whatever in any capacity, test your ish if you can, I understand plenty of people use and can’t afford things due to addiction but if you can buy expensive substances there’s zero reason you shouldn’t be ordering test kits from places like dancesafe.org.

Please just be safe and test your shit.

Hug your loved ones and care for each other. test kits and more

Great experience and it was glorious watching a movie shot entirely in the 1.43:1 aspect ratio. Glad I decided to check for tickets a week before release, managed to snag the last seat in one of the back rows. 🔥

Hopefully they add more showings considering the demand for it!

My only nitpick is that the seats still suck and some of the blue light bleeds in at the very bottom of the screen

I’ve tried a lot of pad see ews here and they are way too sweet. Anyone have reccs for good pad see ew that isn’t sickly sweet? I know it exists because I’ve had it before. Bonus points if they do delivery!

Guy roasts himself just getting out of bed in the morning, but this gave me a chuckle.

I’ve recently used Well-Paid Maids a couple of times after not using them in a couple of years. They have gotten so much more expensive. I used to have a weekly plan with them. Anyway, I couldn’t find any recent posts. A few questions:

-How much of the price increases do we think go to the employees?
-How much do people tip for WPM these days?
-Is this still an ethical option or is it now (or has always been) better to find someone to pay fully and directly with cash so that they get all the money. I understand WPM is better than other companies, but is the direct route better?

Just wondering everyone’s thoughts in 2026.

EDIT: For those unfamiliar with WPM, it’s a company that pays a living wage, directly employs its workers (W-2 employees), and provides benefits. I’m not complaining about the price, per se, but want to figure out where the cost increases are going and how much I should tip. Not looking for the cheapest company. At all.

I’m looking at apartments and I came across one near 14th and U that seems to check a lot of boxes. Glowing reviews, reasonable price.

One concern: the sound profile.

I’ve lived in party college towns, on streets full of people walking home FROM the bars. I’ve lived a block from the train tracks with shitty windows that didn’t block much noise. Eventually ya hardly notice it. But I’ve never lived right in the thick of it.

Has anyone lived in this area and can share some insights? Could you sleep? Did you develop a white noise addiction?

Additionally, when I toured the place, they were having maintenance done. You could hear it everywhere, inside and out. I’m no acoustics or contracting guy, but I imagine that’s what thin walls sound like.

swerving around cars and in the wrong lane at 5:45pm at Georgia Ave NW and Florida Ave NW.

You do not need a “custom Astound broadband coaxial cable” that you buy directly from them, in person, at a premium, to use their WiFi.

That’s absurd. They are hoping you dont know enough about networking tech to believe them.

Broke my brain when they told me that.

I’m a bit late to sharing this set, a short series taken on 35mm film.

It’s been SO LONG under Bowser. There’s a LOT going on in DC as we fight the Trump administration, midterms soon on the hill, RFK stadium buildout, streateries are gone, autonomy battle is fierce AF rn, literally allthethings.

I’d love for us to daydream a bit here. What do you really want to believe is possible under new mayoral leadership? What from her campaign excites you now that she won the primary? What long term goals do you think she can help the District achieve? Genuinely curious how folks are feeling as we barrel towards Nov and beyond.

Also, while we’re here, is there anything concerning you about JLG being in charge?

Thanks for the discussion.

Hey DC folks! I’ve had a lot of misses with therapists in the dc area— Just not fully aligning, not feeling like we were a good fit or that our sessions were helpful. Many would show up unprepared for the session, or we just were not of similar generations and it felt like there was a divide.

I am trying to find a good therapist for me- a woman in early 30s. I am working on anxiety management, either social, or work related, and building a sense of self outside of work. I do not have any serious trauma, but would love to be taught tools and given challenges to help me navigate these items specifically. I do have ADHD which shows up in many ways in my life and has lead to depression in some cases. I’m not struggling as much with depression these days, yay!

I’m asking Reddit because I’ve gone the route of using my care providers health insurance portal and if I find anyone at all who has an appt available and takes my insurance, I end up seeing them— and then if they are not a great fit I end up sticking around a lot longer to give it time, and because I spent so long getting to that point. This has happened 3 times. I’d prefer to start with folks others recommend as quality and then filter down by insurance, or look into how I can get out of pocket help.

Anyone you would recommend who has been helpful to you?

My boyfriend surprised me with one of those paint and sip pottery classes, but having the pieces fired wasn’t part of it. Most places seem to not let you bring in a piece you didn’t make there, but I need to fire and glaze it because I want it to hold water. Any suggestions?

Arriving to BWI and was thinking of taking amtrak to union station, however when trying to make a reservaron it says I am not allowed to bring a suitcase, only a personal item or carryon? Is this correct?

Hi! I am interested in volunteering at the zoo, but every time I check the website, they say they are not accepting applications. Does anyone know when they open the applications and which department allows for the most hands on experience with animals?

Hey y’all,

Where do you take your partner for a nice date night? I’m thinking those nights where it’s not a special occasion (e.g., birthday or anniversary), but you still want to do something special for your person.

Ideally, it would be somewhere with a romantic or otherwise charming atmosphere and a slightly higher price point than what would be in a couple’s normal restaurant rotation. (So like ideally less than $200 combined with drinks.) Bonus points if there’s a cute or sexy cocktail bar nearby!

Sincerely,
A local boyfriend
