Elena in Alexandria
Alexandria VA, DRCA VP. Bright pink e-bike. Former Chief Strategy Officer @Medallia, now solving Gartner and Forrester problems at Up/Right AR. Sic semper tyrannis.
- YDBF going with a...video editing themed short today - it's on both FB and instagram www.facebook.com/share/r/17kj... IS this rage bait? Are they this dumb? What is happening?
- Who needs the Washington post when you have @ryanbelmore.bsky.social !Most comprehensive piece I have seen anywhere at any point. open.substack.com/pub/alexandr...
- If a business cleared its whole parking lot EXCEPT its labeled ADA accessible parking places (::cough:: onto the sidewalk), 1. what's the 311 category for that and 2. is it a different snow removal fine than the regular sidewalk one? Asking for.. me I'm asking for me.
- The transcripts will be eye opening in a million ways, but one thing I will not forget is seeing Paul Haire testify that TO THIS DAY he has not watched the other four videos from his own security system depicting this abuse. I wonder if YDBF will *finally* acknowledge them now?
- woof. This hit hard.
- You know you’re too Alexandria online when you go to stop a woman in old town because she’s wearing the same dress the mayor was wearing in the snow cleanup video you watched 5 seconds ago, but it was actually just… the mayor 🤦♀️
- Guys!! They finally cleared the crosswalk to MVCS!!!! ::lies down in crosswalk sobbing::
- Scaled the mountain from the other side to capture 1. The height and 2. Just how nice the sidewalk was before. And I guess 3. Proximity to the school. The crossing guard is on that next block. The mountain is still there by the way. Cc: @alyia4alx.bsky.social help?
- @sarahbagley.bsky.social given the goals you described in your post just now, can you help us make sure someone knows about this and it’s on the city’s priority list? It went very much the wrong direction today. Citizens still can’t make 311 tickets directly as far as I can tell.
- Science 💪
- Pros: works. Fairly hands off. Uses stuff you already have. Boiling water humidifies house and soothes bloody noses. No need to source salt. Cons: family judgement. Muttered words about science experiments.
- -Survey of West Coast Jazz -Questions of Civilization -Morality and Religion -Astronomy (with lab!) -Weights (adv) 2x aka PE where you just sign in at the gym. And most importantly The United States Congress, a simulation in which now-husband played Levin (MI) and I played Feinstein (CA) 😂
- Today I learned that I don’t know how to tag my husband on Bluesky 😂. @chutchison.bsky.social
- ::Breathes deeply:: Last night 3! precious bobcats moved giant piles of snow from parking spots in the middle of the block to the corner, where they now create a brand new impassable snow mountain where a perfectly passable sidewalk once stood. This is not prioritizing pedestrians or schools. 😡
