One Baltimore #45: Insurrection & The Session

1/13/21 Hey folks! Been a while. Any current events to speak of? Well, last week there was that thing with the MAGA militia that nearly kidnapped/killed half of Congress. Also, the Maryland General Assembly convened for the 2021 state legislative session today. Wheeeere to start? Insurrection first.

One Baltimore #44: ICE, ICE, Oy Vey

7/21/20 Welcome back, y’all. Apologies for the silence; as I suspected, things have remained too hectic for regular long-form writing. But events this week are too momentous to ignore.

One Baltimore #42, Elections in the Time of COVID-19

5/25/20 Sorry about the ten-week hiatus just now. Can you believe it’s almost June? There’s been a lot I’ve wanted to say, but I just haven’t been able, for a lot of reasons.

PSA: COVID-19 TESTING AT PIMLICO, or, A Tale of Two Tests

UPDATE: It was a miscommunication, and our friend has not actually tested positive!! She is still awaiting results. So, Opal was not in fact (to our knowledge) exposed, and I guess we scammed a free test off the government by accident? I'm not mad. Tl;dr: Call 410-601-2222 to find out if you're eligible for testing … Continue reading PSA: COVID-19 TESTING AT PIMLICO, or, A Tale of Two Tests →
