One of the reasons @baltimorebeat.bsky.social is so essential is because it provides features like the multi-page list of community resources for food, rent, health, etc. Critical community information you won’t routinely see in other media outlets serving the City.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

New unpopular bookstore bit: describing books to my wife in a Bernie Sanders voice, e.g. "in Rachel Yoder's 'Nightbitch,' a women's dissatisfaction with her staid domestic life leads her to become a dog." Tough to do this quietly, but I imagine that skill will come with more repetitions.
