“Joey was an H Street Legend.”

By Prince Of Petworth

Thanks to G. for passing on the GoFundMe:

“Celebrating Joey the Greatt Hernandez

Joey was truly the life of the party. He had an infectious smile, a quick wit, and a natural ability to make everyone around him feel welcome. Friendly, loyal, honest, and genuine, Joey brought laughter, wisdom, and kindness wherever he went. He was someone people could always count on—for a good conversation, a helping hand, or simply a reason to smile. A jack of all trades, Joey was hardworking, talented, and dedicated in everything he did. He loved music, sports, cartoons, gatherings with friends, and celebrating life in every way. His vibrant spirit and unforgettable personality touched many lives, and his absence leaves a deep and lasting void.

Joey’s unexpected passing has been especially difficult for his elderly parents, (more…)

Breaking the silence: your mental health story matters

By Sponsor
Image from Breaking the Silence: Your Mental Health Story Matters

We’re taught to show up. To be strong. To handle it. But what happens when “handling it” means you’re falling apart at 2 AM? What happens when the pressure to be okay becomes the thing that’s not okay?

This is what we’re not talking about enough:

  • The 18-year-old scrolling Instagram and feeling like their life doesn’t measure up
  • The 65-year-old who lost their routine and feels invisible
  • The person who cries in their car before work
  • The friend who seems fine but isn’t sleeping
  • You, right now, reading this and wondering if it’s normal to feel this way

It is. And you’re not broken for feeling it.

Mental health isn’t about being “sick” or “crazy.” It’s about being human. It’s about the weight we carry—from grief, stress, loneliness, uncertainty, change. It’s about those days when getting out of bed feels impossible. And it’s about knowing that these feelings don’t have to be forever.

Here’s what we want you to know:

  • Your feelings are valid. You don’t need anyone’s permission to struggle or to seek help.
  • Help is accessible. Whether it’s talking to someone you trust, calling a lifeline, or seeing a therapist—resources exist. And they’re easier to reach than you think.
  • You’re not the only one. Millions of people in DC and beyond are navigating this. The shame? That’s the stigma talking. Not the truth.
  • Small steps count. One conversation. One call. One moment where you choose yourself. That’s everything.

If you’re struggling, reach out:

  • 988 Lifeline: Call or text 988 (24/7)
  • Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741
  • Find local DC support: [link to resources]

Your story matters. Your struggles are real. And your recovery is possible.
