First, a thank you to Teaism. We love you.
Second, an admonishment to Brasserie Beckâ The tone deafness of BB makes me wonder about the employment demographics of upper management at RWâs restaurant group. How white? How male? If you feel like you have to a apologize to your guests for being exposed to the outcry of a community who had just seen a member murdered, and not to the community for their pain.... your priorities look very clear.

The District had its highest number of reported hate crimes last year: 204. Thatâs a year of gay men being beaten, black girls being threatened, transgender women being hurt, synagogues being harassed, Muslims being taunted and a Trump supporter smacked in a restaurant.
Liu, speaking at a forum at the Justice Department last month on combating anti-Semitism, said that sometimes, the odds of conviction are better when they donât press a hate-crime charge.
But that ignores what hate crimes do to the people who experience them. And it doesnât make vulnerable people feel like anyoneâs got their backs.
Eleanor Holmes Norton: âAs you may know, the number of reported hate crimes in the District of Columbia almost doubled between 2016 and 2018. Many of these crimes were targeted at the LGBTQ community, especially transgender individuals. At a recent well-attended community forum, I learned that this community feels it is under siege. I agree,â she wrote. âAs you are well aware, it takes only a few prosecutions to create a deterrent effect.â

The lies that fearful, closeted queer children internalize can become the fire that lights the way to truth. But the pain that is the air upon which it burns may heal but is not forgotten, and there is no lack of kindling-- injustice -- to burn, even in adulthood.
Cory's fire functions as a light, one that ably guides people onto a path of self love and acceptance. If we, as queer people, don't have our narratives shared, they will be erased and replaced by the more palatable mistruths of the powerful.
Cory is an inspiration. Pam's EP, "She Persisted" is the low key anthem the marginalized could use in 2018. To the gay white men, don't get lost in the echo chamber of hyperliberal DC, support the spectrum. Cory, youre a brave motherfucker.
And, friends, aa always, get your ass to yoga.

I'm 100% here for this.
I worked with her a number of years ago, shortly after the d-lists first season. She was incredibly professional and kind. The club's AC was broken, and her face was melting. My co-workers were passing out from heat exhaustion. No hyperbole. As the DC summer got hotter and swampier, the working conditions got worse. it's so easy to lose your cool under the lights, but she still did her thing and gave her all.
Like my friend Jarrett noted, she didn't thank those that supported her in this journey, and that gives me hella pause.

How a D.C. political novice unseated longtime council member Vincent Orange.

I love: family, friends, DC, and my queer brothers & sisters.
Guys-- can anyone provide some reading on "safe spaces" versus "self segregation"? I see affluent folks participating in things that skirt the law on the regular, under the guise of "gay inclusivity" (using areas without permits, public drinking, etc) and they are mostly white monied men.
I know that we need safe spaces to gather and share common experience, but when does that become detrimentally exclusionary? When does it breed racism, classism, and homonormativiyy?

I needed a trainer who could help me with weird aftermath of the assault without compromising my practice.
"Fix the scoliosis and get model-hot," I said. "Oh, and this is the intermediate and advanced series of ashtanga. Please don't fuck it up"
He's made good on all of it.

I've spent time this month with @[689010579:2048:Emma O'Neill], who helped sharpen my teeth in Mysore on my first trip. A major teacher for her, like Christine Hoar here, is Nancy Gilgoff.
The first 20 is essential for woman and men who associate with them. The 35 minute mark on sums up my occasional radio silence. The last 8 is for everyone.
"We are meant to be joyful beings. "
So, listen to get perspective on me or listen to get perspective on you.
Big love to @[1076864780:2048:Jen René] and Peg Mulqueen for their efforts here, and to Christine for her candor.

Where Da Gold At?!
Geoffrey and I went down to the Dubliner, DC's oldest Irish bar/ restaurant, for some St. Patrick's Day themed food. I was craving corned beef & cabbage, and Geoff has his mind set on Shepherd's pie.
Rocks weren't the only things shammed on this trip. After a $10 cover charge just to get in ("come back tomorrow, it'll be free," says the bouncer) to the dining room, we were seated upstairs with super drunk woman in green pantsuits (and terrible makeup), as well as their stodgey 'til crunk white male counterparts.
The people watching was the best part: my meal came out tepid at best. I sent it back to get reheated. Geoff's shepherd's pie looked great, but apparently was only good.
I knew I could do better. Shepherd's pie is made with lamb or mutton, of which I found none-- today I instead made "Cottage Pie." I cut the meat down to a pound and threw in some yummy extra yellow onion and lots o' garlic.
G'luck, and Happy St. Fattrick's Day!

14th Street's getting a new coffee house, just above the not-quite-recently relocated Miss Pixies @ 1626 14th.
For those that don't know, I spent a good chunk of my early DC life as a barista/cocktail server at the Dupont South Cosi. We were the "other side of the tracks" Cosi, serving up scandal with our Double Oh! Arctic Mochas.
After becoming firmly disenchanted with my coffee options here in mid city, Daddy went out and got himself a french press and coffee grinder. Now I only grind freshly roasted beans every morning.
When I want a little treat, ACKC does a good job of filling my caffinated sweet tooth, but what about when I need to get off the couch and do some work? Where do I go?
Certainly not cruise-a-bou at 14th and Rhode Island. I'm excited!
