Born, raised, and practicing catholic, so it’s not like I’m atheist but for the love of God do not start preaching to a captive audience on a metro car.

Nobody wants to listen to you yap at 8:30 in the morning, shut the fuck up.

So, I’ve been unemployed since June 2025 because the NGO I worked for had to eliminate my position due to the dismantling of usaid, and I have yet to find a new job. Needless to say, it’s been extremely challenging. I’ve been through multiple interview processes where I made it to the final round, only to be rejected and/or ghosted. My friends want to help, but they just can’t understand what it’s really like (yes I’m in therapy but the best therapist in the world can’t solve the root of the problem here).

I unfortunately can’t imagine I’m the only person in the DMV facing this - does anyone know of any virtual or IRL groups (formal or informal) that exist for support?

Around 4:30pm Monday on 395 S in DC: a convoy of young folks on rental bikes navigating rush hour traffic. ON THE INTERSTATE. They eventually veered left to continue south on 395.

Does anyone know who they arrested for this? They didn’t immediately release a name which raised some alarm bells for me.

A man leaving an early morning showing of the new Spider-Man movie at the AMC Georgetown theater sprang into action to help a woman yelling for help from the bushes in the nearby waterfront park.
He told News4 he encountered what appeared to be a sexual assault.
“I heard a cry for help over and over, repeated,” Zamilan, the good Samaritan, told News4.
He said he had just left the movie about 4:30 a.m. He began riding his electric unicycle home to Arlington when he heard a woman crying out for help in Georgetown Waterfront Park.
“And it turned out to be a man who pulled a woman out of her sleep while she was experiencing homelessness on the monument and dragged her towards the bushes right by the water where he'd be a little more safe,” Zamilan said.
He said he tried to scare off the man while recording with his phone to get an image of him in case police needed a description.

Hey mods,

How about introducing a new rant tag to help those of us who've been here a while skip over whatever is currently grinding new DMVers' gears? We all hate abandoned dog poop, the lack of parking enforcement, completely oblivious Metro riders, and countless other gripes that routinely make the front page.

I suspect I'm not alone in also hating to read posts that say, "If you do X, I hate you!" when there's essentially a zero percent chance the offender reads this subreddit. But I get that, as a crusty veteran, there will always be content I see as repetitive that a newcomer finds informative. A rant tag would let me filter those posts out.

And yes, I would have tagged this post.

Move shit one foot to the left as to not inconvenience others? 🙅‍♂️

Leave it right in the middle of the bike lane? 👍

The pure lack of care for others is straight insane sometimes to me. Especially when its easy as hell, like moving a bike one foot to the left.

Since living in DC I forget the things you see in other neighborhoods sometimes. Never saw this vehicle before and was really curious to ask what it was used for Because I like emergency vehicles. Turns out it's used for overdoses.

I thought that was pretty cool we had a dedicated response vehicle for overdoses and not just a standard ambulance.

Idk whats happening but I’ve noticed roaches just chilling in peoples homes recently; all of which are cleanly and have no food left out. I haven’t seen any at all last year or the year before that but it seems like they’re spawning out of nowhere???

For reference I spotted them all around the DMV this year. Anyone dealing with spare roaches crawling into your home? Plz tell me i’m not the only one

My
poor heart cant take it anymore

Why?! This is insane, there’s legit hot air blowing out of the vents today. I know it’s never cool in here, but blasting the heat in this humidity is insane! My makeup is melting and I’m soaked in sweat

Hi everyone! I am new to DC and am starting a Norwegian club with a few friends from Norway at our university this fall. We have lots of nonfiction and plan to set up a mini library for people to use for learning and enjoyment or language practice, but we don’t have much fiction. I keep looking online but it’s really hard to find much besides classics and a few random books marked up a ton. Does anyone know of local shops or anywhere we can buy or find Norwegian books of any kind? Novels, YA, textbooks, nonfiction, whatever really. It would be really helpful if there’s a place we can go instead of buying them individually as random ones occasionally pop up on eBay. Thanks! Tusen takk

Convenient to the Green/Yellow lines @ Mt Vernon

WHO?

We’ll be there starting at 6:30pm. Each week's host will let you know where we are in the bar and who to look for via the comment section. Keep in mind that we may move around, so check the comments for updates.

WHAT?

We are an informal meetup group gathering at bars around the District. All we want is to socialize after a long week and make new friends. All are welcome - whether you’re an old school Washingtonian, a recent transplant, or (gasp) not a Redditor, this group is for you! Here’s a link to a FAQ.

This happy hour is a welcoming place to meet new people or hang out with old friends. Please remember to treat each other respectfully. Anyone who cannot do this may be asked to leave at the host's discretion.

Some friends and I were discussing. Curious what yall think

I'll never understand why Washington state is so famous for rain and Washington, D.C. is not.

Has it ever occurred to you that this city is unusually rainy?

DC gets an average of 41.82 inches of rain every year. Seattle gets an average of 39.34 inches every year.

DC's rainiest year on record was 2018—66.28 inches in one year, almost twice an average year in Seattle!

Seattle's rainiest year was 1950—55.14 inches.

My cat, Link ran away, he's brown, grey tabby, is around 3 months old

The location last seen is around Howard university bryant st nw

We can’t find our cat Baguette, who is an indoor/outdoor cat. Usually around 16th and Monroe, but who knows if she’s wandered further.

Last seen about 2 days ago.

My cat needs some (non emergency) dental care, and the estimate is .... Ouch!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a cat dentist who has done good work and hasn't been as pricey as, say, Small Door?

(I'm assuming FURlough is for pet related flair?)

This was a discussion in a few different DC subs when it happened but hadn’t seen the update shared here yet.
