We're not running this Fells Point tour regularly rn, so get it while you can! Our most popular tour—If you’ve ever wanted to learn what privateers or caulkers actually did, or if an evening full of liberation stories sounds great right now, this is for you fullstorybaltimore.tours/our-tours/#f...
There's been lots of interest in the Black Reconstruction tour, but let me commend this one to you too!!

Okay I realize that both remaining Sunday tours are at the same time as Ravens games. BUT. If you want a nice distraction from Ravens cardiac stress, this is a great way to go about it 😅

The book fairies have brought us $100 for this book already and we are so, so, so grateful to all of you. 💙 Aleksei needs this book for his lit review and if you can help us cross the last $75 he can get started on reading it before the New Year.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 6: another older piece, Il Duomo di Modena (Italy). Was a c0mmissi0n from someone who loves Modena.
Plus an in-progress pic to show the jumble of cut-paper layers before I pasted them down, & a close-up of what they look like pasted down

I desperately need to get groceries and pay car insurance.
It’s embarrassing to beg while I’m declining from cancer like this, while taking all week just to post a writing piece now pushes past my capacity and physically working is currently impossible.
Could you please at least share? Thank you.

Hey there. I know most of us are going through hard times right now.
So I’m sorry to even be asking, I put it off as long as I could. I’ve tried.
But my kids+ do still depend on me, and I am declining. Please don’t let me die in the street with my kid. Please share this so others might help us.

To be clear, most of the buildings we stop at in both of these ⬇️ tours have relatively inspirational stories 😅😅
Another great Full Story Baltimore tour in the books! Some unpleasant temperatures cannot stop us from getting answers to questions like What Even *Is* That Building? and How Problematic Or Inspirational Were Its Prior Inhabitants?
