@Jrsosa18 If you can get your hands on it, and enjoy historical fiction with a taste of alchemy, read Neal Stephenson’s Baroque Cycle. It will last you a good, long while and it’s hilarious and informative.

This is mostly for Baltimore folks but anyone really: the other social media place is really good and you should come there. No algorithm, no crazy dude owner, good conversations. Leave here, it’s not good to keep posting here.

@kathyf Blue Sky, and there’s a fair number over there and more making the switch every day.

[Avelino @avelino]

@K__imPossible Blue Sky is what I was thinking about, though I know there are others. It seems to have the best mix of features and community and I’m glad it’s at least trying for some open architecture.

Only six months ago French farmers were spraying public buildings with manure and fighting against measures to address the climate crisis. Now they want public help because the climate crisis is destroying their crops.

This is a disgusting betrayal of trans people serving in our country's military, who deserve the same right to healthcare as every other service member. Shame on Joe Manchin. Shame on Senate Republicans.

Another hot and humid day ahead. Heat advisories are in effect from noon-8pm today for heat index values over 100 degrees. Use caution if spending extended time outdoors. Isolated showers & t-storms bring a little relief to some later this afternoon. #MDwx #VAwx #WVwx #DCwx

Any media outlet that published a headline claiming the GOP 'softened' on abortion in their new platform should be seriously embarrassed

Why is Baltimore City burning our yard waste?

Right now, yard waste in Baltimore City doesn't go to #composting - it goes to BRESCO. @ElectRyanDorsey's CB23-0466 will change that. #ZeroWaste

Take action! 🧵

There's a reason that The Money Power (as they called it 130 years ago) is flocking to Trump and it's not because they've decided he's stable.

These quotes from Sen. @PattyMurray—who fashions herself as a reproductive rights champion—are frankly alarming. There could be a new DOJ in January. I’ve reached out to her office for comment on whether she supports the Stop Comstock Act. https://t.co/JIBlvY5FeX

this thread highlights some of the issues why I believe the best response to climate, air quality, safety and accessibility is that the government should focus on reducing households to 1 car households v. electrification. EVs aren't the answer. Transit and safe infrastructure is
