New — I wrote about the terror and loss of the last few days, mostly so we don’t forget.

I just called my congressperson and senators, asking them to reconvene congress, take back their War Powers immediately, introduce articles of impeachment, and to pressure cabinet officials to invoke the 25th amendment.
The president has clearly lost his remaining marbles. Time to act.

WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE!
A meme of Alysa Liu based on Da Share Zone reading: JUST WALK OUT work social thing movies home class dentist figure skating too fancy weed store cops it your quick friend ships IF IT SUCKS... HIT DA BRICKS!!! Real winners quit You can leave!! Da Gold Zone
I’ve been talking about Alysa Liu’s story about her quitting skating only to come back and become even better because she did it for herself and this came to me in a dream…
Celebrating #InternationalWomensDay!
Today, we honor the incredible women at Metro, including our dedicated operators, station managers, engineers, construction managers, administrators, MTPD officers, & six women senior executives.
You make a difference each day!
Fascism is here and yet we insist on continuing to make things. Keep creating. It's so important. Do not let the fascists colonize your imagination or curtail your creativity.

The image features a gradient background transitioning from pink to blue. Text reads "Introducing the Trans Bill of Rights" with an icon of a paper and pen.
A colorful infographic titled "What is the Trans Bill of Rights?" outlines four points with icons: protections from employment and housing discrimination, equal access to medical treatment without discrimination, legal recognition of gender identity, and the right to use restrooms aligning with a person's gender identity.
ICYMI: I introduced my Trans Bill of Rights with @markey.senate.gov — legislation to defend trans people across this country as Republicans continue to push anti-trans rhetoric and bills.
To our beloved trans community: We see you, we love you, and we will always stand with you.
huuuuuge thank you to everyone who organized #TranspoBINGO and so honored to win the playmaker award and all of this amazing stuff :)
Walked to Mixt food hall for a craft night where I reimagined Rhode Island Ave. hoping for a trolley trail extension some day. Also I’m really bad at drawing vehicles. #TranspoBINGO
Omg I’m stealing this! I caught them at p st/22nd, it was so cool.
Also, in case you are interested, ATAG (pgplanning.org/focus-areas/...) is having a meeting in June where they apparently are going to be giving a CaBi update!
The one I emphasized at the meeting is on Hamilton St. There are many more - here is a map where you can see the distribution! www.google.com/maps/@38.950... The 2024 BikeShare ones are still not completed, I don't know why they are labelled differently than the "planned" ones.
Attended my city’s council meeting and made a public comment about funding abandoned PG County Capital Bikeshare projects. There’s a couple of concrete pads that were built for CaBi but have been empty for months (years??). I ❤️ micromobility and diverse transpo options #transpobingo
Then I walked to Southwest Library, a new-to-me public space that I’ve been wanting to see for a while! I rolled my purple die and then read the inside covers of 5 books on display — one I ended up putting a hold on in Libby 📚 #TranspoBINGO
Today for #TranspoBINGO I took a CaBi (non-WMATA) to CP metro, caught the yellow line (woooo every other going to Greenbelt!), then transferred to green in an underground station for relative warmth to eventually get to waterfront ✌️
Yaaaaaaay!! Thank you 🥰
Then we took the red line + green line and played the tourist at the National Art Gallery and the Air and Space Museum, where I touched a piece of the moon and stargazed to the voice of Lupita Nyong’o. Ty #TranspoBINGO for inspiring a wonderful day.
Got four more #TranspoBINGO squares throughout the day! Walking from kraken we picked up a bunch of trash blowing around! Then took the metro to Takoma where I went to Greenthinker and filled up containers with Castile soap and shampoo, which I decided counts as transporting something weird 😜
Yes, it’s such a fun space and I really enjoyed the class!! I aspire to transpo via rollerblades one day and this was a step closer to that :)
Taking the P1X with my brother to Kraken to take a rollerblading class #TranspoBINGO group play! My brother is giving a thumbs down bc we missed the P10 by seconds and also the road in front of the bus stop was completely filled with snow. But a lovely time anyways and grateful for multiple busses!
My second #transpoBINGO square - walked from DuPont to St. Vincent Wine 🧀❤️🎷🍷
Got two #transpoBINGO squares today - took the C41 to West Hyattsville. This crosstown (C) bus runs 24 hrs, a huge improvement from pre-better bus where the F8 stopped running at 9pm. Also saw signs for P43 (PG county), D34, and D50 (downtown DC) while I was waiting/walking from U st to work!
