@TerpsFootball So proud of my Terps and so happy to be there. The game was closer than the score reflected. Hail, Alma Mater. 🔴⚪️🟡⚫️

@alyssaleann My sister used to say “sugaring” instead of shivering and “Stop making in front of me” for “Stop making fun of me.” I carried on the tradition and now my husband uses both 😂

It’s kinda devastating the way kids grow out of their cute-but-incorrect word pronunciations and the adults in their life are left using them instead My mom and aunt still sometimes call ballerinas “wallowinas” because that’s how I pronounced it in like 1998

Hot take but I think it’s weird how quiet newsrooms are nowadays and the fact that reporters can’t yell over the phone anymore is an affront to journalism and maybe also anti-Italian

@504grl @wmata Flying into Dulles tomorrow and planning to take Silver Line out. We’ll have lots of luggage and a 5 year old. Any tips?

First time taking the Silver line to Dulles! Instead of spending $90 on a taxi from the east side of Capitol Hill, for $6 and a seamless ride I arrived right at sunrise. Thanks @wmata for making this happen!

@KaitlinObscura And I’m in California now, but I took lessons at Lovelyarns (in Hampden then), which was an easy stop on my way home from therapy in Towson. 12 years later, I’m still at it thanks to them. 💕🧶

@KaitlinObscura The fiber arts! Knit. Crochet. Embroidery. Weaving. You can apply your expertise with (and keen eye for) color and texture, and it’s also impossible to monetize. I found knitting because my therapist was like, “You need a hobby. STAT.” #relatable

In my attempt to make more solid boundary lines between my personal life and my professional life, I’ve come to the conclusion that I have no hobbies. It’s hard when your passion is also what you do for a living - I’m aware that I’m very blessed to do so but when I’m not doing that, what do I do with myself? My therapist says I should find a hobby that isn’t photography, writing or anything I would be tempted to capitalize on or associate with work. 😅 I am open to suggestions. I am not athletic. I can paint and draw pretty well. I like music. I like reading.

Unbelievable joy and relief in Paris that the left beat Marine Le Pen’s National Rally party.

Please forego the use of fireworks this Fourth of July. The hot and (already) dry conditions will make ignition easy, and rapid fire spread likely. This graphic explains how fires can spread quickly, especially in an area like ours with lots of grass and steep terrain. @CAwx 🔥🔥
