Baltimorean. A little less quiet on here than I used to be - hoping to be part of building some community. She/her.

#fensterfreitag has actually kind of changed the way I view the world, gotta capture those window moments! (Taken yesterday in downtown #baltimore)
A view of a corridor between two tall buildings, each with prominent windows. At the end of the corridor is another building, with blue sky above. In the foreground to the right is a weather vane.

Hey #baltimore - there's an Eyes on ICE solidarity protest tomorrow at 5pm at McKeldin Plaza.

Let's let them know they're not welcome here either.
Flyer that says: "Solidarity Protest LA ICE out of our communities! McKeldin Plaza, Monday June 9th at 5pm" There's a logo for Baltimore Eyes on ICE with the tag line "We are all watching you"

#fensterfreitag in downtown #baltimore
A view through a corridor of high-rise office buildings of various styles, as seen through a 9th floor window. In the distance is a glimpse of the harbor. It's a pretty gray day.

I think the #maydaystrong rally in #baltimore today might have been my favorite protest ever. Smaller (but by no means small!) marches feeding into one big rally - solidarity in action. I am hopeful that our city will be able to build on this and that today is just the start!

Picked up a few plants at the Brookside Gardens native plant sale this morning, then a brief walk in the gardens themselves. Gorgeous day! #bloomscrolling #maryland
A small body of water is foregrounded and the sides of the photo are framed by trees. In the center is a small island of trees of varied heights and colors. The sky is a beautiful clear blue.

I am not a frequent #videogame player, but when I get into one, I get a little addicted. (Kind of like how as a reader, I'm always just going one more chapter. Probably a good thing that my vices are pretty mild.)

Currently very into Doors: Paradox, a […]

Promotional graphic for a game called "Doors: Paradox." There are two halves of the image, right and left. Each shows an animated door with its own theme and color palette. A reddish one on the left is styled as part of an ornate building. A greenish one on the right looks pirate-themed.

Sharing two household milestones before heading out to a couple protests this #caturday. (Don't forget to see if there's a 4/19 event near you!)

Our tabby girl marked her 2nd anniversary with us. She's come so far from a scared little cat to the unquestioned […]

Took a nice walk through the Mt Washington Arboretum for a little real-life #bloomscrolling this afternoon, and then over to Jupiter's for a scoop of peach ice cream. (Ice cream eaten too quickly to be pictured.) Springtime in #baltimore is the best.
Gate to the Mt Washington Arboretum. The gate itself has plants carved in wood. The pillars to either side have mosaic work. A wooded area with a small water feature and a bench Mt Washington Apiary - brightly covered boxes for the bees and a sign on a tree that says "Caution - Live Bees Stay Back!"

I, for one, DO derive a lot of joy from this. #teslatakedown #baltimore #maryland

PS Did anyone get a photo of the Mr. Trash Wheel sign? Loved it!

No new photos to share this time, but the weekly #teslatakedown protest was a great antidote to some of the despair of this week. Here in #maryland people are more energized than ever!

Breaking: Area woman makes protest sign, is proud of it.

My second week of #teslatakedown - just as satisfying as last week!
Handmade sign says "TRAITOR" but the first T is the Tesla logo

Waiting at the North Ave light rail stop, couldn't do it justice with a cell phone but I still liked it enough to post. #baltimore #blackandwhite #fensterfreitag
A black and white photo. The bottom third is the underpass of a road and is bright. The top is mostly the night sky, with a streetlight and glare in the foreground and a tall building with lots of windows in the background.

She almost never lets me get a picture of her looking anything less than completely dignified, makes moments like this all the more satisfying. #catsofmastodon

Went to my first #teslatakedown event today in Owings Mills #maryland and honestly, it was a lot of fun. Highly recommend!

I'm sure a lot of us feel a little ambivalent about the #boycott and what we think a one-day effort can accomplish. BUT I am doing it because I hope it leads to something more.

One suggestion I have is using today to delete accounts you have with Target […]

A hand-drawn red bunny against a light blue background says "Don't buy stuff Friday Feb 28" and "We have power." The image is titled Economic Boycott and includes the note "No Amazon Target fast-food gas. Ok small business. Use cash"

Hey, how come this hallway isn't getting as much heat as the rest of the house?

A tabby with white feet, a white nose and truly excellent whiskers sits on top of a heating vent. The floor is wooden, the wall behind her is light blue. She looks pleased with herself.

Another thing giving me hope today: my 79-year-old mother called both of her #michigan senators to tell them to do better. It was the first time she's ever called a politician's office in her life. The line she was most proud of (and told me I could share):

"The Supreme Court took away the […]

Went to Senator Van Hollen's office in #baltimore #maryland to ask him to do everything in his power to delay and obstruct in the Senate. Staffers were supportive but my main takeaway was that they seemed surprised by the intensity of our ask - either they […]

This is my cat. She runs and hides under the bed every time the mail is delivered. She scurries away if I try to pet her while wearing my jacket, because she hates the swishing sound it makes.

She's apparently braver than your average Senate #democrat. If […]

My hope on this awful #inaugurationday is a little embarrassing for sheer earnestness, but boils down to this:

Second year of starting the new year with a #firstdayhike and I like this as a new tradition. This year, #hiking at Rocks State Park in #maryland.

This one is circular, with an illustration of hikers and the words "I hiked! 2025" surrounded by a Maryland flad pattern
