  • The Arts Stabilization Act.

    A letter was forwarded to me re: arts funding in Maryland this morning, and as is often the case, when the going gets tough, one of the easiest things to cut is support for art – something that in MARYLAND adds nearly $13 billion to the state economy and supports more than 80,000 jobs. Yeah,…

  • Once Upon A Time

    Once upon a time It all worked out the sun was bright (the ocean’s rising) More space to swim fall right in it’ll keep you fit (the ocean’s rising) Hey, one last time… lie and say it’s fine Once upon a time we didn’t have to hide so we built a wall (the ocean’s rising)…

  • No, It’s Me

    Growing up in DC they never quite got along with me and everyone had big, big dreams the Beltway grew around us it was a big ring concrete circus and though I had the head for it I found charm in Baltimore an angry city of steel and I found charm in Baltimore I just…

  • Chicken Wings

    They say eat the heart for courage eat the brains for knowledge eat the fingers for their skills eat the fists for power Gotta bite the face to get the look gotta worry at their knees and I’ve been eating chicken wings to fly away from everything Gotta itch to scratch and I’ve been rubbing…

  • January 17th, 2025. I made this.

    This is a tech rant. My mother got absolutely frustrated with her computer today. I don’t blame her. Buttons moving, “upgrades” that break functionality, out-of-date help pages that try to sum up different models of products all on one page referencing buttons that may or may not exist. YouTube videos with mislabeled and misleading titles…

  • January 15th, 2025. For real tho.

    Starting off the year with a bad cat. My 50th Birthday is in 23 days. My mom is no doubt somewhere thinking “I’m not old enough to have a son who’s FIFTY!” and mom, your kid is definitely thinking “Waitaminute, I’m not old enough to have a ME who’s fifty!!!”  But I’ll survive a bad…

  • January 15th, 2025. Disappointed.

    I’m disappointed in blatant disinformation on a level that seems just petty. Clicking through a picture of Biden that says “Worst in history” brings you to his quote that the California wildfires are “the worst in history”. Not really what’s implied there, ya know? It’s just about 5am and I’m conscious, which is not ideal.…
