Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 25/02/2026Just in from the film lab: 3 snaps from a partially-shot roll of film taken at the 2004 NCAA Lacrosse championship game. In a thriller, Syracuse beat Naval Academy 14 to 13 before a crowd of 43k at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. #latergram 000
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Week 7, my latest: Commuters on the Metro, and National Guard, too. A hangdog guy in an American flag outfit. Two children with an air beyond their years. 000
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 24/02/2026From week 6: A studio shoot for @chronicle.com; A bathroom selfie; A ray of light at a Metro station; National Guard in Farragut West area. 010

Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 23/02/2026I'll get you all caught up in this thread here. Here are 4 from week 1, starting (fittingly) on Jan. 1, 2026. I went on bike rides and tried to unburden my shutter finger around my own neighborhood. 010
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 23/02/2026This year, I've been trying to shoot one roll of #film per week. I've been sharing highlights on my instagram, but not here! That ends today. Photo dump incoming! 710
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 25/10/2025I hereby issue my #WorldSeries prediction: Dodgers in 6 games. 000
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 14/10/2025Still catching up after some vacation days: But last week, the @chronicle.com published an article from my colleague @franciediep.bsky.social examining how standardized tests impact college admissions. I had the pleasure of producing the photographs for this story. 010
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 13/10/2025Back to Bluesky to skeet my way through the ALCS. Observation from the commercial break: The Angelsoft Toilet Paper angel babies are…the souls of dead children, correct? 011
Reposted by Michael TheisStephanie M. Lee @stephaniemlee.bsky.social · 12/08/2025SCOOP: The NIH is moving to prohibit funded scientists, inside and outside the agency, from collecting data about gender, according to a draft policy I obtained. It’s part of the NIH’s aggressive crackdown on gender-identity research. www.chronicle.com/article/gend...chronicle.comGender Data Would Be Off-Limits Under Proposed NIH PolicyA draft rule would bar scientists funded by the agency from collecting data about gender identity, following other steps the administration has taken to restrict research on LGBT topics. 1013198
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 22/07/2025And, no lie, those #Reds alternate tops also look so so good. 010
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 22/07/2025I haven’t skeeted a #Nats game in a lil bit, but it’s nice to see the boys in their navy shirts. It is the best Nats uniform by far. 000
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 02/07/2025“Carrie carried the curry carry out to Farragut Square” might be DC’s version of “Aaron Earned an Iron Urn” #dmvaccent 011
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 28/06/2025But a dropped pull in ultimate frisbee emotionally feels a lot like witnessing an American football safety. 000
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 28/06/2025Context: A “pull” in ultimate frisbee is like an American football kickoff. If you bobble the kickoff, it’s a live ball. But in ultimate if you attempt to catch the pull, bobble and drop the disc, it’s a turnover. 100
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 28/06/2025I went to a DC Breeze pro ultimate frisbee game today. I saw a rare play, a “dropped pull”, twice, both times committed by Montreal Royal. 110
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 28/06/2025This might be the weirdest Nats game of the season so far. 000
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 25/06/2025The new Jagermeister commercial where a bartender is headbutted - and by implication - gored and presumably killed by a magical stag for the sin of serving Jagermeister warm: what lesson am I supposed to derive from this? 000
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 21/06/2025Shohei Otani bats like he’s listening intently as you tell a story. #Nats #WASvsLAD 000
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 20/06/2025Just getting back on this app after a busy day. A few things: 1) Go #Nats. We are so back. 2) Vida Taco’s downtown Annapolis location is killer. Get the soft shell crab taco. 020
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 18/06/2025Why hasn’t Congress impeached Davey Martinez yet? Are they stupid? #Nats 030
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 18/06/2025Maryland’s Merlin married Mary to Murray. #DMVAccent 000
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 14/06/2025Okay I apologize; I’ll turn the #nats game back on now. 020
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 07/06/2025DC’s version of “Aaron earned an iron urn” might well be “Carrie had curry carry out.” #DMV 000
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 07/06/2025UFL league action: DC Breeze beats NY Empire 23-15 to improve to 4-3 on the season. Empire falls to 5-3. DC holds onto 3rd place in the East division. 000
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 07/06/2025At a DC Breeze pro ultimate frisbee game. DC up 20 - 15 over NY Empire with 4:40 left in the 4th quarter. 010
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 05/06/2025Having a lovely night sitting on my apartment stoop in Adams Morgan, listening to the #Nats game on the radio as the sun sets. 020
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 04/06/2025Workers move partitions meant to mimic bushes as they prepare an entrance for a private event at Union Station in Washington, D.C., this past May. #streetphotography #35mm #photography 070
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 03/06/2025Sideling Hill in Hancock, Md., taken this past Memorial Day. In my #photography, I try to find images with meaning available in them. And in Sideling Hill, I find a lot of "meaning" available. Like it's crazy we did this for a highway, IMO. This is my attempt to put that feeling into a #Polaroid. 040
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 01/06/2025Was about to go to bed, but this #Nats game has gotten annoyingly close. 021
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 01/06/2025After that first inning, you might become an atheist. 010
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 01/06/2025I'm also keeping the #MINvsSEA game on in the multiview, tied 4-4 in the 10th. 000
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 01/06/2025CJ Abrams got hit by a pitch TWICE. DBacks fans gave a standing ovation for the first out they recorded. Truly one of the wildest half first-inning ever recorded. #nats 030
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 01/06/2025I think I heard boos from the home crowd on the broadcast! 110
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 01/06/2025I just turned the game on and was like what the hell?! 110
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 31/05/2025Play on! Play on! Til you have won, sons of Washington! Rah! Rah! Rah! 000
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 31/05/2025Hit or bunt and score - we want a lot more! Strike ‘em, tag ‘em! Homer! Make the ball soar! 100
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 31/05/2025Hail to the #Nationals! Hail, Victory! #Nats on the basepath! Fight for all DC! 110
Michael Theis @mjtheis.bsky.social · 31/05/2025You see, if I were James Wood, I would simply hit a 3-run homer in this situation. #Nats 030
