Uncomfortably (and unnecessarily?) loud. We’re outta here. Good to very very briefly see but not hear a few friends. Btw great to see a poultry chili entrant challenging the mammal chilis! She ran out before I could try it though. This was my 2nd time attending, first time I voted.

True story: The 2016 election prompted me to wonder if there was a form of civic engagement that could build on my energy experience and have an impact on climate. That’s what led me to ALX’s Environmental Policy Commission. Bring whatever your nerd thing is and make your community better!

It’s wet enough that you can use snowplow technique and clear it quickly but @alexgoyette.bsky.social you have to be out shoveling before the dog walkers or that wet bottom layer is turning into a thick layer of ice. Hope you beat them (and your neighbor) to the sidewalks today. #winning

This should be printed and stuck to the wall of every dem senate office “And if the Democrats we have elected to fight on our behalf won't do it, they should be relentlessly reminded of what it means to be an elected official, of who exactly they work for and what their job is.” 👇🏽

Great to see @abigailspanberger.com in Alexandria! She believes Virginia can "be a real example for the rest of the country” on energy. "The reality is that we are making extraordinary steps forward in renewable energy... Not only is it good for Virginia and the environment, it's good for business."

My kids wanted to watch the Hot Wheels show on Netflix and now I need some urbanist content to de-program them from car culture conditioning. Recs?

Final tally: 7 speeches, 2 mentioned climate change. Thanks as always to @sarahbagley.bsky.social and @kirkmcpike.bsky.social for being the most consistent voices for climate action on ALX’s council!

MCPIKE: We must ensure Alexandria’s future by factoring climate change into every decision we make. He also lists among the previous council’s accomplishments: Creating the Office of Climate Action.

Outgoing Mayor Wilson’s message, to the new council: Every challenge you will face was created by a prior council… there is a fuzzy line between legacy and blame
