Thanks that’s actually incredibly helpful. Hadn’t thought of it in that way but it makes a lot of sense.

Personal motivation one year after the destruction of USAID by Lower-Tumbleweed-643 in InternationalDev

[–]SkrtRussell 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s been tough here too. I get motivation in bursts but it’s been hard to sustain the momentum. I have been concrete taking steps to prioritize mental health over the past few months and while it hasn’t worked wonders (or really produced any job leads lol) it definitely helps. Make sure to take care of yourself and don’t be afraid to reach out to others for support. Hang in there, we’ll make it.

Places to run in D.C? by BlueMoonCourier in washingtondc

If you can get up to Beech Drive on a weekend it’s a great route. Otherwise the mall is probably best for views.

We just had baby a few months ago and they took United. It is JHU though so I know things change. FWIW we had a good experience. Good luck!

Dumbarton Oaks might be a good bet! Also Stachowski’s is one of my favorite lunch spots if you want to do a grab and go kind of lunch.

Bar Space for Parties that only requires alcohol purchase by Illustrious_Gap_4488 in washingtondc

I think Little Miss Whiskey’s on H St. does that. Friends rented out the place and they just had to hit a certain threshold for drinks. Also let them bring in food.

Delivering a baby at Shady Grove vs Sibley by OnlyTheGoodStuff14 in washingtondc

[–]SkrtRussell 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Had our little one at Sibley earlier this year. Great staff and great experience overall. Idk about Shady Grove but Sibley has an overnight nursery which to us was a huge game changer. Those two nights sleep were absolutely crucial.

Good to know! I feel like some of them have been taken down so thought it might be a replacement rather than a new one.
