Just replied all to a work email. Time to shrivel up and die.

My office just turned off the A/C. The cruelty is the point.

I kinda wanna barf.

This is NOT a joke

Overwhelmed by grief. What a shithole country this is.

Logged 16.2 miles over the three-day weekend. Not bad for this old lady!

Holy shit a woman at this bar has a Koosh ball ‼️

Embarrassed everyone at DC's favorite Italian restaurant by ordering my pasta al dente but I'll tell you what, that was the first time I've ever eaten there that the pasta wasn't mushy as fuck.

OMG *spoiler alert* Andor watering his plants 😭

Just watched a supposedly grown-ass man pick all of the spinach out of his lobster ravioli and wad it up into his napkin. DC is back, baby!

How is this the first time I'm hearing Fugazi at a Caps game?

Just got offered a bunch of random vaccines at the pharmacy. I don't even know what they are but I immediately said, HELL YES.

I don’t think most people realize that the US Attorney for the District of Columbia also serves as our local district attorney. So yes, they prosecute federal crimes but also serious local crimes committed by adults. This position requires someone actually committed to the real work.

My office switched to cheaper toilet paper but the joke's on them because now I just use more of it.

Doing mid-year performance reviews and I'm all like, "I know I can trust you to make good decisions" and dear lord I would have been a terrible mother.

Just bought a mocha and a bottle of bourbon and I'm not sure which one I should be drinking right now.

You know your boss hates you when it's 74 degrees outside and you walk into the office and the heater's on full blast.

Making Vietnamese chicken curry for dinner so if I'm suddenly disappeared it's because of the amazingly delicious smells emanating from my house.

As we’re seeing attacks on D.C.’s autonomy ramp up, we’re counting on readers to subscribe and to support our independent local reporting. To keep our fundraising on track, we need 132 new members to join by March 31. Things are tough out here but if you can afford to join: 51st.news/signup

How am I supposed to know what day it is if I have to go to the office, like, every day?

TIL it is not, in fact, Saturday.

Seth: Did you hear who the commen-- Me: KERMIT THE FROG!!!!!!

Out for dim sum and I can't stop staring at this couple across from us: an Asian woman eating everything with a fork and a white dude eating everything with his hands.

Just passed the 13-hour mark, but I did get the all clear. How many hours until I can get this effing IV pulled out of my arm?

I have officially been in the ER for 12 hours. America sure is great again!

Los Angeles pre-EPA and Los Angeles post-EPA.

Why lay off teachers in the middle of the school year? Why cut police while working to reduce crime? Why defund Metro while it wins back riders? That is exactly what the CR does to DC — without saving the federal government a dime. It is undemocratic, un-American, and undermines self-governance.

Definitely feeling panicky right now. Someone send alcohol.

It's one of the small indignities of being a D.C. resident: Being told to call your representative or contact your senator when you want to weigh in on national issues. (Hi, we don't have any!) It's even worse when it's Congress messing with the city's local budget. 51st.news/spending-bil...

CM Henderson is the best. Must-read 🧵

There is no reason to shut down D.C. in order to avoid a government shutdown. The continuing resolution passed by the House would force the District to deal with $1 billion in budget cuts that are totally avoidable. See thread ⬇️ 51st.news/house-republ...

⚠️ URGENT ACTION ALERT: We all must fight to defend our District. The time to act is now!⚠️ House Rs voted to cut $1 billion *local* dollars from DC's budget: ❌ Police & public safety cut by $240M ❌ Public schools cut by $400M ❌ Cuts to core government services, including WMATA, totaling $600M 🧵👇

Oh shit I forgot Doctor Odyssey is back!!!

Someone buy Meghan Markle a normal-sized chef's knife!

How I know that's going to be a good (sic) movie: "That's not just a kidnapping; that's human trafficking!" [semicolon added]

I know this joke has been made before but JFC does Jimmy Eat World owe me an apology.

One of my co-workers just stormed out of the building so that's how today is going.

Did I just hide a bag of cookies in my living room? Maybe!

USAID was finally allowed back in the building to get their personal belongings. How I know? They're all out drinking now with their boxes, proudly wearing their USAID swag.

I am still so sad that Phil Hartman is gone

How was I so wrong?

Thank you, random person who shoveled our whole block's sidewalk!
