My friend deserves the physical letters & pictures I send, and deserves them forever. Digital copies are removed from access after a set period of time. That is just cruel. Can you imagine being sent a relative's funeral program or child's graduation pictures, just for them to dissappear?

Thread. Mending, rewearing, buying 2nd hand when possible*, caring for your clothing (appropriate laundering etc.), and avoiding synthetic fabrics are the things that are easiest for the average person to do.

BALTIMORE!! 💚💚❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Community members in the Charlotte area have been pushing back against Bovino, including holding a “Safe to Work, Safe to School” training to help support their immigrant neighbors: americasvoicecnn.substack.com/p/bovino-tak...

hey Baltimore your fav local seed steward collective is gathering for seed cleaning and packing this Saturday 10-12 in the basement of St Lukes in Hampden come hang and help me with my many piles of seedheads friends xoxo

Looks pretty done already and the courtyard lights just came on

Being a kitten is full of wonderment and watching them take everything in is such a gift

“So, they’re targeting breadwinners from these families,” said Montgomery County Council Member Kristin Mink, “and then we have companies that are then trying to extort hundreds of dollars from those same impacted families who have just had a loved one and a breadwinner stolen from them.”

Folks, I did it. I made the Cooks Illustrated competing pear crisps, and then I made my friends judge them blind.

More than half of who ICE targets aren’t undocumented. They’re in various stages of legal residency. More than a third of who they target are US citizens who were born here. This isn’t about hiring undocumented labor.

If this was about undocumented laborers ICE wouldn’t be going to immigration courts and grabbing people literally in the process of becoming legal residents.

I also love the video where Elsie the cat didn’t like her new outfit and called it “litterbox fabric”

AND ANOTHER THING ☝️just the creative support from folks here?? like OH you've never done an art before? that's fine! do an art, bitch!! you wanna develop your writing style?? fuck yeah, find yourself, slunt! it's SO HARD TO BE SCARED HERE, it's like a giant enthusiastic human safety net

In fashion, essentially anything can become a trend. Once thought of as a purely practical layer worn by older women on kimjang day — the annual family marathon of making huge batches of kimchi — the kimjang vest has made an unlikely leap into the style spotlight. www.koreaherald.com/article/1061...

The baby is doing a really good recreation of this painting

The curb gods have been kind to me lately and I finally made it to the MD SPCA pay what you can resale shop. They have dog and cat items but also some kitchen & household goods. To raise funds for the SPCA but also keep things affordable for your pet owner needs and reduce waste. 10 item limit per.

Sharing is caring

Serious Television Fans, I emplore you to watch Homicide: Life on the Street. It's free on Tubi!

It might be the last pit beef of the season and it smells gooood

Tomorrow! It’s free! Bring whatever plants you’re tired of and don’t want to worry about nursing over the winter and take home entirely different problems! Give or take a whole pile of pots. Seeds for spring? Bags of dirt? Cuttings to try propagation. Also people selling fancy plants/accessories.

We have to destroy every last remnant of symbolic decency in our proud Red States, and if the hunt for Pride streets ends up snagging Buddy Holly? Well, then Buddy Holly's got to go, for being too close to woke. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

THIS. Cycling in the US has been marketed as a form of fitness, not as mode of transportation, and not as source of joy & delight. We need to change that. Cycling is liberating; it allows you to engage with the world around you.

If you’d like to donate to purchase hygiene packs for Texas inmates with dad’s old ministry, here’s the link: lessthantheleastministries.networkforgood.com/projects/243...

Will we ever comprehensively rezone? We rezoned the City Council and the Police Department districts, understanding that population shifts necessitated it. Why haven't we ensured our young people have the same careful consideration of an institution as central and formative as school? /15

Siren time at Clipper Mill 😣

All the coolest Baltimoreans will be there

When you’re heading over the hill on the roller coaster but haven’t picked up steam yet. People have sunk time/money/effort into degrees they’re still in the process of completing. Surprised DHS is claiming only -1% to -2%. Interested to see where this number will be in a few years.

It’s not biblical swarms of grackles but it will do 🖤

Be on the lookout

>>Councilwoman Odette Ramos said she spoke to a representative of the building’s owner and they plan to repair the damage. “It’s a sturdy building,” Ramos said. “They don’t make buildings like that anymore.”

We didn’t see the aurora borealis but we did do a drive thru car wash today

TONIGHT at Open Works, 1400 Greenmount. Even if you don’t have anything to donate!

I actually am so mad at Democrats for not saying for decades now that the ACA catalyzes innovation and entrepreneurship by allowing people to take career risks without fear of losing their families' health coverage

if you know an immigration attorney willing to donate 20 mins of their time please send them my way! I have some very basic yes/no questions I need answered ASAP.

Is it a coincidence that I was blessed by this nearby

In other news, somebody parked this dodge ram cybertruck on the avenue

A few different views of the fire at The Castle in Hampden (Baltimore) tonight.

That’s bad

Oh shit the old police station is in flames

That’s a lot of sirens

+1 for this recommendation

Live image of me contemplating whether to finally turn on the heat for the first time this year I made bread yesterday and it got up to 72 in here! So it’s FINE.

Anyway! The fabric swap is tomorrow (Tuesday) night and I’m excited! I sorted through my stash this weekend and picked some cute 1950s-1990s pieces and a few FQ to rehome (sorry not sorry for bringing some things smaller than a yard).

📢 LOUDER

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

depriving millions of healthcare is, in fact, an act of war against the populace

Posting usually isn’t real politics but I actually think activating democratic supervoters to call their senators stark raving mad is real politics
