@Lauren_Stanton_ @TalisinHammond @CSULBMammalLab @AnimBehSociety Love this!!

[Megan Draheim @megandraheim]

@ABC Not quite a descriptive caption of what happened!

[Megan Draheim @megandraheim]

@DrJSchramm Yes! It’s an invitation to call them by their first name.

@NationalZoo the link you sent out for members' passes for Zoo Lights isn't working, and there's no link to reservations for members' night on the Zoo Lights webpage? Been trying to get on since 10:01am when they opened. Thanks!

@ericjdesigns @Nationals My favorite Nats game ever 💕

@aaronbarrett30 @breakthrough_32 @MLB @MiLB @MLBPA @MLBPAA @IronPigs @Phillies @Nationals @kmbarrett22 @OleMissBSB We loved having you in DC!!! Was always a treat to see you pitch, and you’re truly an inspiration for working so hard to come back. Best of luck with your next steps!!

@maustermuhle @Vote4DC Thanks for the update. I saw a story on @nbcwashington last night but couldn't find any other mentions (even on their app!). Seems like this should be a bigger story since this is a huge percentage of votes cast.

[Megan Draheim @megandraheim]

@BobWardDC @marycheh Thank you @marycheh!!

[Megan Draheim @megandraheim]

@tweetelissa @councilofdc Thank you for your hard work on this, @tweetelissa. Please know that most of the neighborhood is appalled at @ChmnMendelson’s last minute tactics to gerrymander the Ward. All of this has firmly put me in the @ErinPalmerDC camp!

[Megan Draheim @megandraheim]

@ChmnMendelson You should be ashamed. Coming in a week before the vote to have a very poorly advertised meeting, listening to only a very vocal minority, ignoring everyone’s previous hard work, and deciding to score political points without having any real community input. Awful behavior

[Megan Draheim @megandraheim]

Awful behavior by @ChmnMendelson Tuesday night. Only selected groups were given advance notification (we found out about it Tues AM), he ignored the current compromise that's on the table, didn't bother inviting @tweetelissa, and didn't offer a remote/Zoom option. Shame on him

[Elissa Silverman @tweetelissa]

A meeting on Ward 3 redistricting, “town hall style,” with maps on the walls, @dcpl Cleveland Park Library…I was just saying Groundhog Day is one of my favorite films….oh, but wait, @ChmnMendelson didn’t invite the Subcommittee Chair on Redistricting…more like “Call Me Maybe”

@RealTimeNews10 I saw reported somewhere it’s Van Ness and Connecticut, live shooter in an apartment building. Was a few blocks away and heard at least three barrages of shots before I left.

Wood frogs are some of the first frogs to start breeding in the spring. Their mating season starts with the first warm spring rain and generally runs from March through May. After mating, females will lay egg masses made up of 1,000 to 3,000 eggs in vernal pools.

So I've been asked what my advice would be to civilian resistors in Ukriane, especially Kyiv. Someone with no military training but wanting to resist. Here are a few things #Kyiv #UkraineUnderAttack :

@Quaker2001 @marinebrit @nbc @peacockTV @usanordic @USWNT Yeah, this was specifically about ski jumping but maybe USA Nordic must have gotten it wrong somehow (which seems crazy but there it is)? See photo of email from this morning below. Sorry I was ragging on NBC! Like I said overall I’ve been impressed with their Olympic coverage

[Megan Draheim @megandraheim]

Umm, @nbc @peacockTV why are you airing men’s World Cup ski jumping but not women’s? Please get on the right side of history #equity @usanordic

[Megan Draheim @megandraheim]

@Quaker2001 @marinebrit @nbc @peacockTV @usanordic @USWNT Here’s the email from USA Nordic

[Megan Draheim @megandraheim]

@Quaker2001 @nbc @peacockTV @usanordic Wow - then did USA Nordic just get this wrong in their email?? They said RESULTS only would be live-streamed on a website for women but Peacock was streaming the actual event for men. I didn’t look at Peacock, should have. Mea culpa and good for them. Thx for the correction

[Megan Draheim @megandraheim]

@Quaker2001 @marinebrit @nbc @peacockTV @usanordic @USWNT I will give NBC lots of credit for their coverage of women’s sports in the Olympics - did a great job of covering all equally. That can be a vicious cycle where no coverage = no interest = even less coverage and so on.
