Naira asks us:
“Perplexed by DCDPR’s deck attire rule forcing people to undress into swim attire even if they don’t want to swim & are just in the deck area was being enforced today. This is incredibly dangerous from a sun safety PoV & insensitive to many cultures- what’s the logic?”
DPR has previously explained the rationale: (more…)

Whitman-Walker staff had a great time proudly walking in the World Pride Parade. We boldly branded ourselves with an upside-down pink triangle—a symbol with a powerful and complex legacy in LGBTQ+ history. Originally used during the Holocaust to identify and persecute LGBTQ+ individuals, the symbol was reclaimed in the 1970s as an emblem of resistance and pride. Today, it serves as a reminder that our liberation is rooted in the courage of those who came before us—and in our ongoing fight for justice, equity, and love.
It has been a challenging year for Whitman-Walker due to the substantial loss of grants and funding that directly affect our health research, policy, and healthcare initiatives. We’re therefore grateful to our friends at Maydan, Medina, and The Stratus Firm, who are helping us close out Pride month in style!
We invite everyone to join us at the Pride & Pulse Block Party – taking place on Saturday, June 28th in the alley by Maydan, between Florida Ave and 13th St. NW. At the intersection of celebration and care, the party will bring our community together in a vibrant, inclusive day-long street festival honoring the legacy of World Pride.
This event pulses with energy – from live music and culinary delights to art and activism – all in support of Whitman-Walker’s vital mission to provide accessible, inclusive healthcare to LGBTQ+ individuals. Join us as we amplify the heartbeat of our community through connection, joy, and purpose.
The Triumph Trek at the Rio is the ultimate celebration of strength, recovery and hope — and everyone is invited.
On Sunday, September 20, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., Adventist HealthCare Rehabilitation and Adventist HealthCare Home Care Services will gather at Rio Lakefront in Gaithersburg for an untimed walk-or-wheel around the accessible lakeside path.

Thanks to Melissa for sending on Sunday:
“This…. this is very bad timing.
The master clock at the U.S. Naval Observatory (sometimes referred to as “the atomic clock”) appears to be broken. At least, the digital display on Massachusetts Avenue is. I’m sure the actual clock itself is fine, just fine, absolutely fine, this is fine! 6 second video: (more…)
