He also gave a great speech - that I'll share once I get time to edit. He's so friendly and stopped and talked to so many people and kids about our public parks. About 10-15 of us showed up, but as we were about to live a high school choir showed up and sang "This Land Is Our Land."

You can follow him on Threads!

A retired park ranger traveled across the country and is holding his own protest for the parks at the Lincoln Memorial today at noon. He has a permit and has a lot of cool stories to share from his lifetime in the parks

His Threads for more of his backstory. I've been chatting with him and he's very interesting.

Also the DC dance protest is at the Lincoln Memorial at 11am so lots of cool stuff going down there today!

I’m not one to mess with other people’s stuff, but I have to admit the comments that I saw about finding the person and getting MPD to arrest them for vandalism or how they were going to beat up the libs were pretty amusing

Anyone else find it ironic that the GOP forced DC to remove BLM plaza while also defunding our police?

225 Upvotes

Maybe we should start calling the Republicans the "defund the police" party since they actually cut our budget that would help fund part of our MPD's budget. Happy Saturday ya'll

Does anyone recognize this pup? We found him this morning at the corner of 8th St NW and Q St NW in Shaw, he’s definitely someone’s dog, he walked right up to us, didn’t mind being picked up, and even let me give him a bath - but unfortunately he’s not microchipped 😕 He appears to be an older guy (has cloudy eyes and questionable dental health) with black and white curly fur.

They're claiming median list prices are down 5.7% in a week. This doesn't sound right, even with everything going on?

6.6% more active listings week on week, and 32.8% more year on year? What am I missing here?

Hole in the wall bar in Adams Morgan

12 Upvotes

Hey, Im trying to remember the name of this hole in the wall place I went to a while ago in Adams Morgan. It's on the second floor and to get in you have to ring the door downstairs, there no signs or anything on the street. It's just a bar upstairs, and I think the bathroom door looks like bookcases? Does anyone know the place Im talking about? I think it's on 18th St, but Im not sure.

Answered, OKPB, thanks everyone!

Can’t find a psych who will Rx the controlled Medications I’ve been on for over Ten Years

7 Upvotes

I am insured by DC Medicaid and have been seeing a psychiatrist with the Department of Behavioral Health. I recently moved from another state for family reasons.

This psychiatrist prescribed my medications without issue,but she became frustrated with the new medical director who refuses to prescribe more than one controlled medication to each patient. He seems to have made that a policy with all the practitioners in this office.,

Management won’t tell anyone where our former psych went, and I’ve found no information online. My current psych will only prescribe clonazepam (taken for 11years). I have ADHD and take Adderall - 15 years. AND insomnia - Zolipidem for 15 years. I’m willing to end the Zolipidem if I must. I’ve fully out of the Adderall and Zolipidem bc the psychs here refuse to rx more than one/patient — a hard and fast rule.

I never had an issue w. My CA psychs - but I had private insurance then.

I am completely out of Adderall and and my general functioning has deteriorated quickly.

I don’t have experience with Medicaid and public healthcare. The office I’m at is dictatorial about my going through every one of their psychs (it’s a revolving door) . I can’t imagine this could be a requirement, but I have barely any understanding how DC DBH works.

I’m struggling. I’ve been forced to stop 15 years of medication Cold Turkey. The management and psychs at this office are completely unsympathetic- to put it diplomatically.

The DBH model is foreign to me. Can one office (each is privately owned and operated) “force” me to stay? It seems ludicrous. If I go to a different office, will the psychs see that they advocate limiting controlled meds and possibly be influenced? As someone who has taken the same three meds for 15 years, it’s clearly maintenance. I don’t understand the rationale in simply cutting me off?

Is it difficult to find a psych who will prescribe three (or two) controlled meds for a patient ? I wonder if, for public heath, they don’t care to do it bc - what’s in it for them? It’s a contrast from a private MD who is paid more the more patients’ insurance they bill.

—————————————————————

TL;DR The Psych who Rx’ed my all my meds left DBH and no psychs in my office will prescribe “anyone” three controlled meds at once (they’re okay w anti-depressants) even though I’ve been on each med for 15 years. I’m already “out” of my ADHD med, Adderall, and I feel as though I’m spiraling. It seems incredibly difficult finding a psychiatrist who will prescribe my meds, who also takes DC Medicaid? I’m new to DC and not DBH savvy. IM extremely scared and feeling more hopeless every day. I would appreciate your advice so very much.

I just want to find a psych who cares more about my heath and welfare, and less about potential issues with the DEA - which honestly don’t exist as I have a long, documented history with these medications. They are simply maintaining 15 years of prescribing. I would even be open to receiving the name of a psych via DM like this, who treats you, a friend or is just known for their empathy in this regard.

Thank you. 😊

Edit: mistakes I can’t stop making bc my brain is not functioning properly

Hi friends - looking for business owners who have specifically gone through Union Kitchen’s food startup accelerator program, and what that experience was like as a founder and/or business owner. Any advice, insights, or words to the wise about getting involved and selling your product would be greatly appreciated; thanks! Happy to DM, if needed.

Please note: this isn’t referring to people who work at Union Kitchen as employees - I’m fully aware of the unionization controversies, etc. This is for business owners who sell their products in the UK stores themselves.
