I am in my early 30s now and I think I have chilled out a lot over the past 5 years and all I really want at this point is for things to work better and more justly. I am not actually happy when politicians are bad so that I have cause to dunk on them. It actually really sucks that they're bad.

yall the D.C. Council Dem primary endorsements will be out on Monday. I am sorry for the delay. it took a long time this year! There’s always a deliberation of how late to send out questionnaires—do you, an endorsing org, try to clear the field, or wait for the field to clear itself?

They taught us this little thing from the 60s in planning school which is cute but there should be another couple dimensions, whether things get on the ladder at all and how long the whole thing takes if you're up in the top rungs here

At work we did a poll and it showed that Marylanders want more, different types of homes, and will be less likely to vote for incumbents if they don’t get on it
