I spotted my first Cicada yesterday in Cleveland Park but apparently it is only a “straggler”. USAToday reported in March:

“As spring approaches, many Americans may be expecting the return of loud, swarming cicadas, but experts say there’s little to worry about this year. No major 13‑ or 17‑year cicada broods are set to emerge nationwide, though a small number of insects emerging in off years, known as stragglers, may still be buzzing about.” (more…)


Announcement

If you’re like me, you might be feeling a tad overwhelmed by the myriad candidates across DC’s local elections happening on June 16th.

Well, in my downtime, I made this quiz app to help DC voters figure out which candidates best align with their own priorities: https://helpmevote.onrender.com/en/


Event

18th Street Singers presents Out of Many, One, a concert exploring the complexity, challenges, and possibilities of the American experience through a rich tapestry of choral music. Centered around Randall Thompson’s The Peaceable Kingdom, the program features music that reflects the breadth of the American experience, drawing from spirituals, folk traditions, and choral masterworks alongside contemporary voices redefining the genre today.

In this 250th anniversary year of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Out of Many, One reflects on the many voices, stories, and identities that shape our nation and invites audiences to imagine a more just, inclusive, and compassionate future.
