Baltimore: if you have or know someone who has a little time and inclination: we need more folks to serve on the board of the last remaining conservatory in our city. We are a small and scrappy board and we need to build up our numbers to be more effective !

This is our last rescue message. 5 kids shivering,my wife suffering from mitral valve prolapse,& no shelter.The cold is eating us alive. We are a family fading in the winter. 100$ could keep us alive.I hope this is not just a passing message Vetted @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/1574...

Every time I see someone talk about how AI products are achieved at "no cost," I feel a flinch echo through my body felt by generations of my ancestors. I know where the road goes when a consuming body is given the privilege of ignoring the true cost of labor.

Strolling through Richmond Park yesterday I was imagining equestrians past and imagined habit clad figures trotting across the heathland. This is a smart cotton late #1820s riding habit for the stylish sporting gals #FashionMuseumBath #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

There is no shying away from a bold pattern here, a #1770s silk robe à la française glowing in blue with the creamy floral pattern across the surface. It is easy to see why textile design was so highly prized with such an expanse of cloth. Whittaker Auctions, #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Baltimore County Council to convene Tuesday over suspected ICE office in Hunt Valley

Just gonna pin this post for the time being

I just applied for a passport renewal. The cost was $149 including postage. Requiring a passport or similar proof of citizenship to vote is thus a poll tax. The SAVE Act before the Senate asks to do just that. Call your Senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them NO SAVE ACT

PSA: Frederick Douglass was indeed born in February (1818), the record is at MSA, and it is likely (c.f. context clues) that he really was born on Feb. 14th

He didn't randomly decide to celebrate it on this day

We hope you are all enjoying today's holiday—Frederick Douglass' Birthday, of course!! Don't forget, w/ all this love in the air, that F. Douglass was able to accomplish as much as he did in part b/c he surrounded himself with a community of brilliant, competent, caring people, particularly women 💜

If you're interested in learning & thinking more about Frederick Douglass in community, well, guess what, we have JUST THE THING for you! On March 8th and 22nd: fullstorybaltimore.tours/our-tours/#f...

On Trevor Rogers’ penultimate pitch (also a whiff), it sounded like Heston Kjerstad turned to Samuel Basallo and said how “nasty” Rogers’ stuff looked. Nasty indeed. Impressive first live showing of camp for Rogers, who won’t be taking anybody by surprise this year.

Good morning! I am trying to pay my utilities & pay my copay for my insulin. I have these earrings available immediately. All orders going out tonight. www.melancholynow.com Sales help keep a single parent family housed and alive!

🚨 Urgent Appeal 🚨 After two years of war and devastation, we are once again facing genocide, death, and hunger. 💔 My family is trapped in this nightmare… we have no one but you. Please don’t look away. 📢 Donate and share our story. gofund.me/d14cbe76

@ashleypopoola.bsky.social not sure how much of a boat person you are, butttt www.ans.org/news/2026-02...

Stop scrolling. This is a countdown, not a post. Odai is a child losing his chance to walk while you read. A drone injury left him needing urgent surgery, but there is no money yet. Every second matters. Your share or donation could be the step he may never take. Act. tinyurl.com/odai-care

Wait. Is this why official Douglass Day events have to have cake?????

This is terrible misery—we are freezing. My child’s arm was broken when the tent collapsed, and with mitral valve prolapse I developed shoulder tendon inflammation from the cold. I urgently need 200€ for treatment and blankets for my 5 kids Vetted @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/1574...

Time is slipping away for Naser. He urgently needs a $200 MRI because his voice is choking due to thyroid pressure on his vocal cords. Every delay puts his health at risk. Your support or share right now is his only lifeline. Don’t let him fight this alone.❤️‍🩹 chuffed.org/project/155233

Happy birthday to one of the greatest, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, he didn't know his actual birthday, but chose to celebrate it on this day. Please read his books and essays; please teach your children his story when they are old enough to understand.

in this house we don't celebrate Valentine's Day, we celebrate Captain Cook got Cooked Day

The longest-running Black-owned family newspaper and the third-oldest Black-owned business in the U.S today, The Baltimore Afro American's beginnings in the aftermath of Reconstruction—and its staying power—are almost impossible to wrap one’s head around.

Happy Death of Captain Cook day! May all would-be kidnappers be handed their arses! Strength and solidarity to all indigenous peoples standing in their sovereignty against agents of oppressive racist colonialist states!

Urgent massege🥹 My wife suffers from heart valve prolapse,& her condition is getting worse day by day. My 5 kids have no food and no shelter. We are living in extremely harsh conditions & urgently need just $200 to secure basic necessities Vetted @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/1574...

Last weekend we went to see the I. Henry Phillips photo exhibit at the Museum of Industry. Joyous and poignant photos of black Baltimoreans in the 1940’s. The exhibit comes down Feb 22, highly recommend a visit.

Mariner’s clubhouse dog Tucker got a promotion to Manager of Clubhouse Pawsitivity this season and all I want to know is why at dodgers isn’t following suit and letting Mango, Ash or Champ fill a similar role. Best friend Josh Naylor got me 😭

Sharing some exciting news- some brightness- my book Alaska Native Resilience: Voices from World War II published by @uwapress.uw.edu has received the Caroline Bancroft History Prize from the Denver Public Library Special Collections and Archives!

5yo, sick with a cold, watching the Muppet Movie on the sofa: "where's the hand that controls him?" Me: "how do you think Kermit would feel if you asked him that??"

I can't think of better rebranding ambassadors for masks than the 2026 Olympians. Our leaders have tried to pass off masks as something you only wear if already sick or older with comorbidities. But everyone is vulnerable to post viral illness. These athletes get it 👏🏼👏🏼
