Good to know it's not just me using the #ArlingtonVA tag 🀣 BTW it's a surefire way to get a post included in the Arlington feed for others to see πŸ‘

FYI we're at the picnic table at the back of the park, right off the Custis Trail near the tunnel under I-66 to Westover.

Who will join @michaelashea.bsky.social and I at Bon Air Park in an hour? #BlueskyIRL

Arlington friends: Aderson and I are delighted to host an β€œalmost” end-of-primary-campaign-season fundraiser for @takiskarantonis.bsky.social. I hope you’ll join us this Sunday June 8 at 3:30 for good food and good drinks to support and celebrate Takis for County Board. We’d love your company!!

Check out the signs and quotes in the beginning of this awesome video from @justineunderhill.bsky.social (also a local YIMBY). This is our Arlington legacy: all the signs and quotes from our Missing Middle rezoning debate, both from pro-housing advocates and opponents.

Except for Missouri, this is basically a chart of the Mason Dixon line.

Map showing every general-purpose local government in the US. "The most eye-catching thing about this map is that the Northeast and Midwest are administered very differently from the South and West". More insights at source: fakeisthenewreal.org/local/. h/t @salimfurth.bsky.social from LinkedIn.

Join fellow Arlington bskyers this Tuesday!

Are these new ones, @signsbydevita.bsky.social?

uhh... both? πŸ‘€

Looks like as soon as the "multimodal" road construction is done, #columbiapike is posed for even more activity. How many housing units in total is this?

I dream of a pedestrian-only Shirlington village. "...Sharpe said the issue is really that the streets too heavily favor car traffic. In an informal ARLnow poll last month, 68.2% of respondents wanted Campbell Avenue to be pedestrian-only."

What a beautiful person this Lisa Carr, employee of the month January 2018, is. Such long flowing hair. Such perfect white teeth.

Arlington friends! Please tell the County that 🏘️ housing πŸ—οΈ is our top need as we revise the Comprehensive Plan and look toward Arlington 2050 - This online feedback form closes on June 1. publicinput.com/p50064

A beautiful Sunday afternoon grabbing coffee with candidate for Arlington County Board @jeramyolmack.com. We enjoyed talking about housing and our shared experience running as independents for the CB.

As I walk through Rosslyn a tour bus of middle school (?) students unloads. The guide spends a couple of minutes explaining the fast and casual food options in the area. As soon as she's done all the kids immediately flood into the McDonald's lol.

Working on job applications with an iced coffee and a jelly doughnut at Good Company in Pentagon City... oh sorry, I ate the doughnut already.

All us Arlingtonians working hard to improve our county, and this is what @ohtheurbanity.bsky.social sees from us. We have failed as a community, folks. 😭

To my friends in Clarendon and Courthouse, give early input for new public space along the R-B Corridor at a redeveloped 2500 Wilson Blvd - currently the older office building with a raised plaza that's kind of cut off from the street. Let's make sure it's useful for cyclists.

I am reading #ArlingtonVA plan to improve Kirkwood & Fairfax Dr intersection. This hellish collision zone will finally be safer w/ bike crossings and islands. Also Jackson St & the Fairfax Dr spur are finally being closed to vehicles from some directions πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰ www.arlingtonva.us/files/shared...

Check out @t4america.bsky.social's priorities for overhauling the federal (U.S.) surface transportation program as it faces reauthorization. It's a tight, focused proposal that would do a lot of good if our congress listens. - fix it first - invest in the rest - safety over speed - modernize

Today I finished my last final exam for spring classes. I now have a few days off before starting summer courses. I'm celebrating by watching the CivFed Arlington candidate debates. I need a better way to destress.

Just finished a day of hiking 11.5 miles along the Bull Run Occoquan trail to a winery (Paradise Springs ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐). I am exhausted & my body is broken, but it was totally worth it.

At some point I should go through and clear out my Amazon shopping cart "Save for later" items

Immigration officers in plainclothes stopping random people on the street in Arlington?

Victory! I have finally figured out a reliable, not-too-aggressive method to filter out unrelated press releases from the Arlington VA feed. It was a growing problem of organizations HQ'ed here getting picked up by keywords.
