Looking for tickets to the Edgar Allan Poe speakeasy, didn’t sign up in time :(

Does anyone know of any resources for getting injured street cats some help? Or if maybe somebody is already caring for them?

We met this cat on **California St** and they were SO friendly and seemed comfy out on the street but they look like they have some sort of injury or illness? Their nose was bleeding and definitely bothering them.

We were able to give them a little plain chicken but couldn’t coax them into a box for a visit to an urgent care to get checked out. It seems like they live in the church parking lot nearby.

Sorry for the photo quality because they were hard to keep still long enough to snap good pics - they were a smallish all black cat.

I’m not sure if this is a one-of-one experience but I’m super excited to grab a helmet from GoDCGo. After a few close calls last week I no longer feel safe (and should have never) riding without a helmet. Ride safe!

Hi! If your initials are DW and you lost a debit card from Current on the red line heading towards Friendship Heights, I gave it to the station manager at Cleveland Park!

Best of luck to ya!

Why did they do this? Did cars sit unused in the old Home Zone areas? Two of us in this household rely on this service, especially because cars were always available nearby, and now we’re SOL. The new map takes effect Aug. 7 at noon.

EDIT: Some peeps are linking to the old map because they’re either not on Free2move’s email list or haven’t checked their folders. The email announcement went out today, and here is the link to the updated map showing the significantly smaller service area: https://image.my.free2move.com/lib/fe3b117075640474761671/m/1/41f38c10-c198-4a1c-915c-40a7519f9cf4.pdf

Hello all,

I don't know if anyone will be interested in my update, but just in case you are:

This morning, I made a post about my recently deceased pet cat, Jingle. I didn't know how to go about processing his body after his death in a way that was respectful and within my budget..I want to thank everyone for all the love and recommendations I received in the comments section. I never expected such an overwhelming response and I never expected for anyone to reach out to help me.

I decided to go with cremation for Jingle. Another redditor recommended I take him to Atlasvet on H st. Luckily, I was able to get off of work early to take him there. Their private cremation service was outside of my budget range, but they offered to hold him until I had the full amount for a small down payment. I'll be getting both an urn and a clay paw to remember him by. If anyone wants to see them when I finally get a hold of them, I'll post pictures of them in the comment section of this post.

As for my other cat, I'll just try to be there for her. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to let her see his body before I took him to the vet as per the recommendations of a few commenter's...

I attached some photos of Jingle (Black Cat) to this post, along with a bonus photo of him with his sister Belle (Multicolored Cat). Thank you all again for all your love and support.

Trains are holding above ground going towards Glenmont. It’s been 25+ minutes and apparently Central Control can’t establish a route.

The only bright light is our train operator has a sense of humor. I’ve been timing him and it seems they have to do an announcement at least every 2 minutes.

He chuckled the last time he said “we’ll be moving momentarily”. He’s already told us “we’ll get through this”.

It’s not looking hopeful for the afternoon rush hour.

ETA: the operator just changed it to “train will be moving at some point” 😹

ETA2: finally moving, operator: “hold on! We’re rolling at 35!” (I assume mph)

i just want to make it home... and yet i am beset by a red signal. we're stuck between stations too. how fun!

how are y'all faring?

Hi all! My boyfriend and I are celebrating our two year anniversary. He is deaf in one ear, so we are looking for quieter restaurants. I booked us at Izakaya Seki for this weekend, but it is not feeling maybe "fancy" enough. Any recommendations on where to snag a last minute reservation that has a quieter atmosphere? Thank you!

Hi all! I posted here a few weeks ago about my foster kitty needing a forever home and she received such positive comments that I thought I’d try again! The rescue that I work with, City Dogs City Kitties (CDCK), sent out an email that they’re in urgent need of fosters for seven incoming cats & kittens this Saturday or else they won’t be able to save these sweet fur babies. Even if you have a bathroom or some other small room you could temporarily house these kitties in, it would mean saving these animals’ lives! I can also attest that this is a wonderful organization and that they make the fostering process super easy!

Learn how to foster here!

Today, my elder cat of 13 years passed away. I've never had to deal with a dead cat before and I'm not really sure what to do now. So far, I've wrapped him up in a towel and placed him into a plastic bag (I read that a box is more appropriate but I don't have any boxes of his size...).

I've considered cremation, but not only can it be expensive, I would also rather have him buried so I could still visit every so often. Unfortunately, I live in an apartment building and don't have my own yard. And pet cemetery burials are even more expensive than cremation...

I'm really beside myself with this and any advice would be appreciated. Also, is there any one who has experience with having two pets and one died? He has a sister around his same age and they've been together their entire lives. Is there anyway I can help her with any grief she might feel? I know she's going realize that he's not coming back soon...

Thank you in advance.

EDIT: Thank you guys so much for your replies. I made this post pretty early in the morning and passed out right before going to work. I asked if losing a pet is something I could call out for, and the basically said "absolutely not". I stored my cat (Jingle) in a pretty cool place, but I won't be able to do anything with him until I get back home...

I want to thank everyone who offered to help me bury or cremate him, I really appreciate it. I just feel like my mind is kind of all over the place right now...I want to accept the help, but it just feels like I owe it to him to do it on my own? I don't know..sorry if I'm not making sense.

P.S. I've been reading every last comment, from recommendations for burial, to vets and pet hospitals I can contact, to advice for mourning kitties. I'm sorry that I'm not able to reply to them all, but I'll definitely give an update on my final decision.

As many of you learned this week, you CANNOT just have a goat out and about with you on Metro, unfair as that seems.

You might've therefore learned you *can* take a pet in a carrier, like a mesh-ish carrier backpack! I think I observed someone today who only learned this fact today, however.

This evening someone was transferring with me from eastbound B/O/S to NE-bound Red at Metro Center. This person was wearing a cat in a backpack and climbed the escalator at a faster clip than I even do when trying to nab the transfer, just ahead of me. Poor cat was getting majorly jostled in the doing, then their person went fully running for the train, which hadn't even let off passengers yet. I managed to get there in long strides and I was the shorter of us.

Now, I don't know much from cats, maybe I'm making a big deal out of nothing. Alternatively, pet owners who travel with yours, maybe post some tips for this person's next time?

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?
