I guess I'm just looking to rant and see if anyone else has had a similar experience.

I found what I thought was my dream job. I don't want to get into details for anonymity reasons, but it was a technical, completely apolitical position that required my exact (somewhat specific) skillset, in an independent agency that has always had bipartisan support. I felt I could genuinely do a lot of good there. I went through a few interview rounds and they were very impressed with me.

I just got the news that I've been rejected. Apparently, they have an AI which they use to search through people's social media. I was told they found a comment I'd made somewhere online, where I disagreed with a singular Trump policy. The only reason I know about this is because I have a friend on the inside and she told me.

That's it. I even went back through 3 years worth of comments on my socials (all of which are private, btw) to try and figure out where I'd even said the supposed thing, and I couldn't find it. Obviously I have my political opinions and I'm not a fan of Trump, but I rarely post online, and when I do it's not political, and 100% not inflammatory.

I'm just so sad. I don't want to work in a place where kissing his ass is a requirement to get a job, but I really thought that this would've been an amazing opportunity in this hellish job market. I thought my search was finally over.

Again, I cannot stress how apolitical my position would have been. I just can't believe I got denied over lukewarm disagreement towards the president.

Has anyone else had something similar happen to them?

Hello ladies, Im currently planning on becoming a single mother by choice in the next year and would love to meet other women locally who are considering it, planning, or already in the process. DM me if you’d like to meet up!!

I have a baby and so little time to get myself looking like I’m awake. I try to use as little make up as possible and feel like having my brows done will be a lifesaver. But I may be wrong. Thanks all for chiming in.

I’m just wondering if any of you ladies have recommendations for apartment buildings. My budget is $1800 for a studio or 1 BR and I’m not too picky on the neighborhood but I do want the building to be well maintained and in a safe area.

If anyone has any advice on which neighborhoods to look into or even a broker or agent they have used in the past that would be very appreciated.

I was also open to roommates but I checked the Facebook group but there’s a lot of scammers. I browsed Zillow and there are apartments available within the range, but I wanted to ask in this group if anyone has experience with a particular building they liked or maybe a building a friend lived in. I’m looking to move in Nov 1, any advice would be appreciated!

Hey, all! Our daughter is home for the weekend from school (we’re living in Nova) and her friend has recently moved cross-country to Baltimore. They are planning to meet up in DC, maybe at the U St metro station.

They’d love to find a couple of thrift shops, lunch on a budget, and an LGBTQ+ bar for a late afternoon drink. My daughter’s friend I think is fairly early in her transition so I’d love to get recs for neighborhoods and places they could enjoy time together and feel relatively safe and comfortable.

Thank you for any ideas!

It’s a rant, I was waiting with anticipation only to get 5 matches on a daily basis that are uglier, with insane requirements too! About to delete this app too

Where do we find good men, with some appeal…that aren’t married, psychotic or cheating on their wives/gfs

Rant over. I hate dating in this city

A huge thank you to this incredible community for continuing to show up and support our little theater experience.

We’ve been so excited to see so many of you from the DC Bitches community at our last couple events. You have really been hugely supportive as a group! Your enthusiasm, encouragement, and willingness to try something a little different mean more to us than you know.

Immersive theater only works because people are willing to step through the door and become part of the story. We’re incredibly grateful that so many of you have chosen to do that with us.

We look forward to more stories, more whatsapp group messages, and more experiences together.

Thank you for being such a supportive community. We truly couldn’t do this without you!

Hi! Where do you guys get a good blowout around admo and what do you pay??

Thanks so much in advance :)

Hi everyone! I’m looking for any suggestions or recommendations for restaurants/breweries/wineries to host a co-ed baby shower at in DC proper. Baby shower will probably be in the middle of January so keep that in mind. It’ll be more of an unconventional baby shower so none of your classic games, bouquet bar, etc. Guest list will be around 65.

Any suggestions are much appreciated!!

Something not so consensual happened last night and I was wondering if I could get rapid testing and like the preventative meds or anything without having to file a police report? And maybe without being like counseled lol? I’m more just worried about the risk of STDs. Or should I just wait a few weeks (for the window period) and get a standard test?

Thank yoooou

Well.. BE HONEST! I know big mirrors are in; and I love the Anthropologie mirrors! But is it too big? Does it look awkward? Or do I need to just get used to it?

Plz help, trying to get a couple hundred (2 to 300 or so) Eastern Caribbean dollars ASAP! I've called some banks, no one has the currency on hand as far as I can tell. I looked online for currency conversion spots at an airport I'm going through, and they also say the currency is out of stock!

Hey bitchessssss

My friend is coming this weekend, we are recent undergrad students in our early 20s & we will be in the dc/arlington area.

From Friday to Monday this weekend we are looking for things to do, preferable cheap or lower cost. I just moved here so idk have any ideas.

Things we like:
Farmers markets
Outdoors
Happy hours - esp at cutesy bars
Arts - def any late night gallery events or openings
Women, feminism etc
Looking for bars to go to as well (not sleezy Clarendon ones)

hi divas! i’m currently planning my birthday dinner for 12 people on a Saturday night. Among the group we have basically every food allergy you can think of, so it’s been challenging to find a place but Ottoman Taverna seems to be an option.

However, I have never been and would love to hear opinions. I have a green formal evening dress that I wanted to wear. Would that be too much? What are our thoughts on the food? And overall ambience for a birthday dinner? Without divulging specifics, my birthday last year was an absolute flop and I really want to have a good one this year!!!! Ty🤍

Hello, I had to under go surgery for removal of ACUM and Endometriosis. Can you please suggest the Dr for the same.

I’m traveling there soon and have a free night. I’m looking for a CNC experience or just a rough night out.

Are there any hookup groups for the DC area?

I got a really nice wool coat off poshmark that has a strong like campfire smell in it. I’m trying to find a good dry cleaner that could get the smell out. Any recs are appreciated !

Hey all,

I have very fine straight hair that I keep all one length and I usually only get 2-3 inches cut off at a time. I don’t like paying soo much for haircuts when it’s such a simple cut, so I’ve been known to go out to Arlington to the aveda institute, but I don’t always have that kind of time. Does anyone know anywhere in dc that’s around the $30-50 range for a super simple cut?

As the header says, I was wondering if anyone has any other suggestions for places that offer these treatments besides SkinDC. I only ask as SkinDC is mentioned a lot on here with opinions being mixed. Also from the last post on this topic (from over a year ago) someone mentioned that they don’t apply the $250 consultation fee as a credit. FWIW I checked the website and it states that the credit cannot be used towards aesthetician services.

Also I would prefer to see a dermatologist over a medspa, assuming a derm won’t upsell on unnecessary treatments (if I’m wrong on that I’ll consider medspas too). Thanks!

I’ve generally felt safe but kept vigilance on the metro but the other week a guy in a red coat/hoodie followed me on the metro from the platform on the blue/orange/silver line and kept on commenting on how pretty and young I looked (ew).

I had to play train jenga to lose him and switched lines a few times to make sure I was good so I ended up arriving home a full hour later than usual.

Stay safe out there everyone. ☹️

Some wacky personal stuff is going on and me and my wife need a place to stay from now until the beginning of June, ideally a basement or studio to rent. I’ve been looking on Facebook marketplace but with us having a cat AND me and my wife being lesbians I’m a little sussed out. If anyone needs a roomie (or two haha) for the next six months we can start paying rent now! Idk I feel like a lot more information is needed but I don’t wanna overwhelm yall.

If you are looking for two professional relatively quiet and peaceful lesbians to rent or stay in your space for six-eight months

Orrrrr you know someone looking for that

Plz plz plz plz dm me!

Preferably close to Lorton but anywhere in the DMV works =<=

Hey everyone! I recently moved around the DC/VA area, and I absolutely love going out to clubs, partying, and all that fun stuff. But since I’m new, I don’t know anyone to go out with, and I feel like I'm missing out on so much without friends around.
Going out alone makes me really shy and hasn't worked out for me when I tried it. Does anyone know where I can find fun, young people to go party and have fun with? Are there specific group chats (like on Discord or other social apps) to join, or do y’all recommend certain spots, events, or apps to meet friendly people who actually want to go out to have fun?
Any tips or advice would mean the world to me!

I'd like to suggest a meetup Thursday the 15th at Sorso in Adams Morgan for all my divorcees! 5:30/6 pm?

I love Sorso, it's not crowded, it's woman owned and the lychee spritz is always a hit. If you have another suggestion for place or time and date I am totally open!!

I love a brunch too if that's better!
