With a dark secret weighing heavily on his conscience, former government lawyer Oliver Bartholomew teams with two buddies to perform random acts of kindness in their Adams Morgan, DC, neighborhood. The Squad grapples with everything from mistreated dogs to broken windows. But when an investor fund threatens the neighborhood’s beloved pizzeria, the men are stumped—that is, until Oliver’s old college flame, Rose, arrives. Now, bolstered by Rose’s big-hearted spirit and real-world savvy, the Squad must rally their neighbors to action. And Rose and Oliver must discover if they are meant to be together after all.

Adams Morgan Fugue is a neighborhood love story, an uplifting and often funny novel of friendship, community, and second chance romance that celebrates the revolutionary power of showing up for the people around you.

This Tuesday at Lost Generation Brewery from 6:30-8:30 PM, Consult Your Community is throwing a party to celebrate the 150+ small businesses we’ve helped over the last decade right here in the DMV. This is a fundraiser to keep our services free for small businesses. Over 2,000 small businesses across the country have gotten a free, trained team through our nonprofit to provide 400 hours of strategic support.

Summer in Washington DC is beautiful — and relentless. The heat, the pace, the packed schedules that somehow get busier instead of slower, the humidity that settles into your body like a second layer of fatigue. Stress doesn’t take a summer vacation, and most of us spend the warmest months of the year running on empty, overstimulated, and wondering why we can’t seem to slow down even when we want to. When the nervous system is chronically overwhelmed, we see it everywhere — restless sleep, a racing mind, anxiety that flares without warning, a body that feels simultaneously exhausted and unable to rest.

Acupuncture works by shifting the nervous system out of the chronic fight-or-flight activation that most of us have quietly accepted as normal life. It regulates cortisol, calms the adrenal response, reduces inflammation driven by chronic stress, and helps the body remember what it feels like to actually exhale. Patients consistently describe leaving their appointments feeling like something has been turned down — the volume of everything, the urgency, the tightness they had stopped noticing they were carrying.

Join us for the Pride in STEM Festival—a joyful celebration of identity, curiosity, and creativity! Hosted by Because Science, a woman-owned science gift shop and event space in Adams Morgan, this vibrant, all-ages event features hands-on experiments, collaborative art, and DIY projects you can take home!

From rainbow optics and elephant’s toothpaste to Pride bracelet-making, our drop-in activities take 10–30 minutes each, perfect for a fun, interactive afternoon. Come anytime from 12–6 PM on Saturday and Sunday; no registration needed (though mid-activity arrivals may avoid peak crowds).

The Dupont Artisan Market has been thriving for 19 years by hosting high-quality cultural artisan shows that emphasize beautiful presentation. We carefully curate our artisans from various artistic disciplines, showcasing a diverse range of handcrafted goods.

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/

I got 25 guys in a bar to test a simple idea about making friends in DC. A year later, Choros has several hundred members and close to 400 activities.

A lot of guys in DC are not friendless. They just don’t really have a crew anymore.

What an incredible start to the Dupont Artisan Market, located at 1913 Massachusetts Avenue, on the corner of Connecticut Avenue, just steps away from the Dupont Circle Q Street Metro. Our first four shows attracted over 27,000 shoppers! For the past 19 years, we have been dedicated to our cultural vision: to create a platform where artisans from all artistic fields can continuously showcase and elevate their works. With music in the park right across from us, it makes for the perfect outing for everyone! Next show, this Saturday, 11 am to 5 pm. For inquiries, you can reach us through our Instagram @ArtRaveDC.
