It's true!
I have Mastodon on one tab and twitter on the next.
I am truly a different person when I go from one to the other.
I become angry, sarcastic on twitter.
Calmer, more open, constructive here.
Amazing.
A more formal #introduction, since that seems to be the thing instead of just jumping in.
Been in DC almost 17 years. Moved here to follow interest in foreign policy/counterterrorism. Worked at Brookings for 13 years - much with key senior fellow on defense policy.
Lifelong love has been weather. I am one of the team leads for WaPo's Capital Weather Gang. Forecast 6 days per week for the DC area in addition to covering #wx news and #climate etc.
I will try to post frequent dog pics.
The people who say there's been too much focus on abortion rights this election have it exactly wrong. This is our last chance to restore Roe in our lifetime.

🚨 Today I learned
Apparently the 'note' field at the bottom of someone's profile is private to you, & you can add a wee note to remind yourself about them
Such as the reason you first followed is b/c they collect mushrooms or love black garlic or something else not listed in their bio or otherwise obvious 😊
Or perhaps you unfollowed them b/c you love their stuff, but they post too frequently & you need to remind yourself not to get sucked in again 😵
Help your brain! 💪
