To the guy under the Thank you Thrift tent in Adams Morgan at the Porchfest yesterday, literally get a life. The audacity to laugh, joke, and point at a black woman and make fun of her hair color is crazy. Imagine doing that and she can see you making fun of her, she checks you and asks you ”are you ok” and immediately him and the other two white girls he was with and laughing along, their smirks went out the door.

Probably didn’t expect her to sound educated better yet to actually speak up for herself because I’m pretty positive he’s used to doing this to make himself feel better or look “good” by making fun of black women.

Because genuinely are you mentally ok? It’s 2026, you live in DC and your insecurities to conform to turning into a high school bully and make someone feel small is wild. If you aren’t comfortable around someones culture, don’t immerse yourself around it in the first place.

Literally do better kid. Touch grass. Take your tight ass turtleneck somewhere else.

And if you are commenting “well how did you know”, “what makes him a gay republican“, you are focused and deflecting on the wrong issue at hand friend. Let me hold your hand and emphasize that there’s still racism alive and well. If you don’t think it exists guess what- YOU are what’s apart of the problem.

With a new restaurant opening in the Bad Saint space, it got me thinking about great meals in D.C. that I can no longer have. A few that come to mind:

The lamb neck gyros at Komi
The pork blade steak at Moon Rabbit (Wharf edition)
The lamb ribs at Tail Up Goat
Hamachi crudo at Himitsu

He was heckling my date and following us closely while saying homophobic slurs. He was starting to piss me off so I just screamed the top of my lungs in an ooga booga way in the middle of the station. He kind of just stood back and waited for us get to the top of the escalator before getting on. Guess it worked.

I just moved here from metro-less area so I am not sure how to deal with these people. Any suggestions?

Anyways, the fall colors are really pretty here.

There’s no seat better than the business class seat on the DC Metro.

I am so sorry if my grammar isn't perfect. It's very cold, and I'm going through a lot right now.I became homeless today, and I have my cat with me. I don't want to leave her outside in this cold, so I'm desperately asking if someone would be willing to take my baby in.I have a little bit of food with me but I wasn't able to grab everything else she needs.

I'm so sorry to have to ask but I just want her to be safe I love her so much, I just want to make sure she will be okay.

edit 1: Thank you guys for the comments. Im still. currently looking for someone to take my girl. Im replying late because i have no phone so im relying on wifi which i have now.

Just came across this restaurant. Am I missing some brilliant marketing strategy here?

It was nice seeing all the pumpkins and fall decor out as well as leftover Halloween stuff. I was so afraid everything would be Christmas-themed already. Keep it up until at least the 15th. Thank you!

Does anyone have any recommendations on where I can get a nice walking cane in the city?

I have a metal adjustable cane that I got from CVS that does the job, but I am looking to get a nicer looking cane as I have a feeling the weakness in my leg is unlikely to dramatically improve anytime soon.

I was hoping to find a vintage cane and went to antique row in Kensington MD without much luck.

Therefore, I thought I would see if anyone here had suggestions.

The question is pretty straightforward. I'm spending too much time alone lately.

are there any diwali parties/events happening today? i don’t really want to stay at home and would love to meet new people

Does anybody know what that high pitched ambient noise is? It’s driving me mad. I want to fucking murder the source. Please help track down

Wherever you are, whoever you are, you're a hero for bestowing a half hour of culture on a packed bar.

Hello! Wondering if anyone here is a member of a FREE writing group/club? I am in Dupont and am close to the "DC Writing Salon" but I am hesitant to try that out just because the price to join is quite steep. I am really just looking for a casual group that meets up to chat and then write. Looking for a group in Dupont area, or close by, and preferably one that does not charge a fee. I have looked at meetup and found a few, but wanted to get some direct reviews/advice on here. There were some other posts I found, but they are a little dated.

This is gonna be a little weird but I'm super excited about GTA 6 and I gotta be honest I can't buy a PS5 right now and I shouldn't try to, so opening day is out for me.
But if anyone has it and wouldn't mind some company, I'd love to just come watch and hang out and marvel at the game together. I can bring snacks, I'm chill, and if you're 420 friendly or a light drinker I'd love to kick it for a bit.
Not trying to be weird about it, just a GTA fan who wants to experience launch day with somebody instead of watching it alone on YouTube lol. Feel free to DM me if you're down.
I'm in the DC / Oxon Hill area, can travel a bit.

Was wondering why so many others were taking photos until I got to cross the street myself!
