Dis me. I love DC and am usually too busy enjoying it to spend much time on Reddit. Right now I’m pregnant, bored, and everything is difficult. The fun has been replaced with whinging on the internet.

Having to replace a removed fence would take a great deal of time and money too…

Thankfully no. But I do live in an old, poorly insulated house; have dogs that need things like walks and potty breaks; and I have an English person’s approach to turning on the heating.

It’s fabulous! It’s usually busy but it’s pretty big so that might be why you think it looks deserted. Also the windows are weird. I’d travel across the city for it. Fortunately it’s 3 mins walk 😂

And San Antonio grill! Best lomo saltado in the city.

Reply to Explaining your DC job when you go home? (Especially if it’s left leaning, policy, NGO, etc) by hushpuppylife
Caveat: My conservative family is in the UK, not America. I’ve found they don’t really care. Jobs are boring, particularly if you don’t have anything tangible to show for it. It’s not the politics, it’s just that it’s all too abstract. It can be a little heartbreaking when it’s something you want to share - a big win, a promotion, etc - but the way I’ve managed to keep my friendships and family is to genuinely meet people where they’re at, and where they’re at is that it’s not a thing. Your people might want you to justify yourself more, of course, but I imagine being down to earth and chill will go a longer way than trying to explain and persuade.
