D.C.

Starting a thread to document the D.C. that shaped me. The people, streets, images, and family stories that don’t always make the history books. Much of my city has vastly changed (for better & worst) because of gentrification, so this is my way of memorializing 🤗:

Rent the runway for DC events >>>> And they had a Georgetown location to actually try on dresses lol
Genuinely confused why everyone is gagged by this and writing think pieces? Rent the runway was a huge platform back in the day like people renting has been a thing for years. It is not new.

I might have been too deep in southern music 2007 because I never heard this 😂😂
"body" was ja rule's 2007 comeback attempt and it never got the airplay it deserved. irv gotti and 7 aurelius produced it, ashley joi featured, and the album it was for got pushed back then canceled.

What he supposed to have on in this setting? Brunch boots, denim, and a sports coat? You niggas kill me man lmaoo
Something that really bothers me is people who don't take their appearance seriously when speaking to a Black audience. He would not be looking like that if he was giving a speech at JP Morgan. It says a lot about how they view Black people subconsciously

For anyone’s position to be “I can’t think of anything DC Council has done to support well off people in this city” is truly a wild lack of self awareness m.
Both my kids were/are educated by DC. DC approved a new bridge and trail near me. Repairs were made at the playground. DC installed a dog park. DC supported our 4th of July Parade. Urban Forestry is preserving our tree canopy. Bike lanes (I love then, so hate me) …..

Have you left yet? Will you stop tweeting about DC?
We have loved living in DC, but after PK4 ends it's hard to justify staying here. We can move across the river to Virginia for much better schools, lower taxes, better services, and lower crime.

Every woman 20+ years in the government has that shawl on the back of her chair

People with “baby on board” stickers be the worst drivers. Like do you even care about the baby?

Everyone belly aching about the DC foie gras ban as trivial - feel free to advance your own issue & get engaged with your own government. There is nothing stopping you. Criticizing others for advocating for their values while not being active yourself is just having a tantrum.

I’m proud of all the work that folks did to get a ban on forced feeding of birds on the DC ballot. I’m voting yes on i86 and encouraging others to join me.
