Listened to two minutes of the SOTU address before stopping. What a waste of two minutes.

Milky Way #photography over Assateague Island National Seashore (MD), taken very early morning on March 1, 2025. This was my first time stacking milky way photos and taking a milky way panorama (but not both), so I'm happy with how it turned out. Very excited that MW season is back!

I love taking the Metro train to No Passengers.

Reading posts like makes me sad, because at the end of the day these are just your average Americans who are being negatively affected by the federal job cuts.

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

Tried playing around with long exposure #photography by taking some photos of @wmata.com trains today. I think they turned out okay, although I could have chosen my focus point better + stayed more still (less shaking). Shutter speeds ranged from 1/10s to 1/4s.

🧪 If I were Canadian PM I would immediately: 1. Create a new $15B science fund 2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada 3. Immediate permanent residency 4. Citizenship after 2 years Overnight a science superpower

Went to NYC last weekend with the intent of trying a bit of street photography for the first time, and had lots of fun! Here, I tried to capture some moments of people doing their own thing, @mta.info subway edition. #photography

life's good when you can take an Amtrak train going 120mph while simultaneously eating a cookie

a southbound @amtrak.com Northeast Regional train and a northbound Acela train running on relatively snowy tracks.

Yessssss, they're getting it. They're finally getting it.

it's 2025 which means it's time to spend the next few days accidentally writing 2024 instead of 2025

Opinions like these confuse me. Just because you have a car doesn't mean everyone else has a car or wants to drive. Also, what traffic? If you're talking about crossings, surely you can wait an extra minute... In any case, trains — and public transit in general — take people off the road.

lmfao in case you needed proof of how stupid NYC’s new outdoor dining rules are, L’industrie (top slice shop in the city) just parked an old school bus outside and turned it into a dining area

been a while (aka a few months) since I've been to LA but seeing a *lot* of people using transit to get around is always heartening to see

god bless the amtrak conductors who will be yelling at everyone to get their fucking bags off the seat on this sold-out train for the rest of their shift

President Biden and the first lady, Jill Biden, made their customary Thanksgiving rounds in Massachusetts on Thursday morning, delivering pumpkin pies to police officers, firefighters and medics on Nantucket and calling members of the armed services.

Annual reminder that friends don’t let friends drive to the airport! @wmata.com is the time and $ saving way to start your holiday travel. #wmata

taking the bus to work (thanks MDOT MTA) so I can skip airport parking prices and thank god the buses and train timed themselves so well because 2 hours is a long time to travel ~20 miles (ended up saving 30 minutes)

Metro is officially on Bluesky! We’re here to keep you updated with the latest Metro news, updates, and everything in between—just like on our other social channels. Tell your friends, give us a follow, and stay tuned for more to come. #wmata

spotted somewhere in Patapsco Valley State Park, next to a freight rail line

Transit is essential! Fund transit!!! 🚌🚇🚆

good morning

If you give a shit about urban planning and transit you should expect no funding from the feds for the next 4 years and you should entirely focus your advocacy on state & local politicians. You should also try to build community as best as you can to save people from rightwing media
