Finally bore witness to fare enforcement for the first time since ~2018(?). Going home from work yesterday, a group of Metro cops got on the A Line going Northbound to verify fare and for the most part, the cops were very friendly (with one exception). So I did wanna discuss the issues with what I did see…

• Apparently not all of the cops are informed that TAP also takes single charge debit/ credit now? One of the cops was not believing a woman who used her debit card as fare until someone else stepped up to vouch for her.
• The lead cop did have a bit of a power trip that seemed to scare some honest/ innocent passengers into being intimated and stressed for their proof of valid fare rather than complying calmly about it

Overall, I am a fan of this, as they prevented other riders who were shirtless or had loudspeakers blasting music on subsequent stops, but I do think their methods of approach could be better and more knowledgable about the state of Metro fares.

this isn’t necessarily to establish some sort of connection beyond a friendly interaction but we interacted shortly while at Ten Degrees in East Village last night.

I was with my friend when I complimented your glasses, and we proceeded to exchange our glasses to see how blind we were (lol) before we got to know each other a little more. You were also with your friend, chilling at the bar before heading out to bum a cig. I just thought you were really cool and wanted to become mutuals or something, especially since you were a substitute teacher/ing theatre!

anyways dm me, or don’t. I’m only visiting, but I come to the city occasionally and would like more friends when I come back to visit.

As the title says, I submitted my DACA renewal 190 days before expiration (May 15th, expires November 21st). I still have not received a biometrics appointment. Is this cause for concern, or do you guys think it will be sent out around the "proper" day renewals can start being processed (150 days before expiration)?

Would appreciate any affirmations, haha.
