Spoiler alert: if you’re okay with deporting someone without due process bc “they broke the law,” “I’m fine because I don’t commit crimes,” “they’re illegal,” “I got my passport, so I’ll be okay,” you’re actually just supporting someone deporting you, since you can’t show that stuff w/o said process

To all my trans friends out there having a rough time, or who might in the future, I support you and am here if you ever need it

This really is a beautiful city sometimes

Gonna be a loooooong season with this bullpen and lack of hitting, but getting to cap off cherry blossom weekend with Nats opening weekend once again still feels like spring

Find joy where you can. It’s the thing that might get me through these dark times. The beauty of flowers can at least bring some brightness

Cherry blossoms. White puffy clouds blooming on the trees

Spring has arrived in DC, so I braved my most hated enemy: large crowds. The kite festival was definitely pretty

Attending a memorial service in DC for the first president of Namibia. Hooo buddy, a lot of Americans would not like how people here are talking about Cuba, the US, and colonialism. The fight continues, but honoring someone who helped take such leaps is a good respite in dark times

Announcers making cutesy joke references to “they are definitely greasing the lamps in Philly.” I’m sure they never called for any firmer enforcement with actual protests and riots over things that actually matter. Right? Right?

-Beat every team in our division once ✔️ -Not eliminated from playoff before ko of final game✔️ -Avoid major injuries✔️ -Daniels look good✔️✔️✔️ -Seem to have a plan going forward✔️ The five things I said before the season. This was a disappointing end to a very successful season and new beginning

Old people: hehehe, how silly, these kids not being able to use this old tool we never taught them to use and which is super outdated Also old people: hey, Jay, can you come over a 10:30 at night? Our TV isn’t making noise and I don’t know how to make my computer show me file details post-update

No matter how old I get, no matter how annoying it can make aspects of life, there will always be something magical about freshly fallen snow

The evolution of a control player

Look, I know climate change is a major problem, but, this is just insane. Sure, DC feels like hell sometimes, but it’s not literally living in hell

Things may be bleak these days. But, finding time on a Commanders-less [formerly] unseasonably Sunday for a little hiking on the Billy Goat Trail, some dog watching, duck watching, and meeting a tripod husky living his best life are the kinds of small joys that remind me to keep pushing on

If you know, you know

At just the time I needed something to restore a little faith in humanity, @desertbus.org was perfectly timed for mental health distraction and hope restoration. Congrats on earning a full Desert Week and thanks for some great entertainment

NAMIBIA HAS WON AN AFCON MATCH FOR THE FIRST TIME!!! Gorgeous 88’ header for the world’s #115 team to shock #28. Gotta love football on a day like this

No matter how old I get, I remain a 13yo boy at heart

Too much Trump on the timeline, not enough bird. Fixing that. 🦉

Enjoy a puppy snuggling her ducky toy

We could see it on the horizon, but we're floored all the same. Thank you, Desert Bussers, for giving us and all the families served by Child's Play Charity ten million reasons to smile!

Any time someone involved in a conflict uses terms like good and evil, it’s never a good sign. It’s one thing when analyzing after the fact. But, when the conflict is ongoing, it’s generally a sign horrible things are being justified

All the feels tonight. Thanks for years of memories, Nicky

It’s okay for someone to recognize a problem, or even recognize a “solution” is wrong, even if they don’t have the right solution. Sometimes, ruling out wrong answers to narrow it down for someone else to find the right answer is enough, and not a reason to dismiss their position

Giving out Halloween candy and a girl picking through the bowl kept dropping candy: every piece that fell landed in her bucket. every. Single. Piece. A better writer than me could probably turn that into a part in a decent fantasy story
