A tumblr account where you just ring up companies and writers and local tv stations and small town officials and big town services and just ask, one after another, "why are you still using twitter?" and post their response.

6:55 am: Reports indicate that even as far N&W west as Damascus & Leesburg, precip is all rain. And even though air temps in those areas are still at or just below freezing, pavement temps are mostly above freezing, so not much impact beyond wet roads. Just be slow and safe!

Do you have a reader in your life who needs a reading-adjacent gift? Let me direct you to my friend’s Etsy shop!
You too can become the proud owner of a shirt that says, ‘I’m not mad. I use punctuation because I’m from the 1900s.’
Idk why I’d think folks here would want that shirt?

For Advent, I'll be posting some of the old Christmas cards in my collection, starting with two that belonged to my great-grandmother. One of my great-grandmother's jobs was hand-colouring B&W photographs. I assume these two cards are some of her work.

Widespread, mostly light showers around #Virginia this morning from D.C. to Farmville but these should scoot on out of here by noon or early afternoon; heavier rain is still likely on Tuesday morning, with a short period of freezing rain in parts of the I-81 corridor.

I've shared before my grandfather's attempts at capturing the family cats before the digital age. Well, now it's my turn! Here are the earliest attempts at photographing my old cat, Kisa Lísa, shortly after we adopted her in the 90s.

I think I finally get why Randy Clarke is so gung-ho on having the National Guard in the Metro. The military-industrial complex pays his salary, judging by all the ads for things that a normal human being cannot purchase plastered in every station I went through today.

In an effort to avoid becoming a boomer, I bought some Dubai chocolate. Verdict: it’s fine. Don’t understand the fuss.
Next up, I’ll buy a Labubu, I guess.

Much like the Costco hot-dog-and-soda combo, we will never raise our price.
Buy in person at Atlas Brew Works new location - 600 Howard rd SE, between the Douglass Bridge and the Anacostia metro.

When I was kid, we cleared the lawn of leaves with rakes. They were cheap, quiet, and the operating costs were nil, unless you count the cost of the hot chocolate mom would give us if it was cold out.
