again, earnest question: do cis people understand the purple archipelago? do they understand what they are prioritizing and what they are ignoring in this conversation? would they have sided against lbj on the civil rights act of 1964? bsky.app/profile/klei...

we would like to take this moment to shout out the MTA @mta.maryland.gov who can't get the busses to run on time AND can't train their bus drivers to not be homophobic. truly inspiring leadership from @mdotmtaholly.bsky.social 🙏

had to wiki to check but wouldn't that be a fairly unremarkable difference given that fwar weights heavily on runs and has no measure of a catcher's game-saving defensive plays, and catchers have relatively low offensive output compared to defensive output? (repost due to wonky copy paste of frmla)

one of the secondary problems for the city building so few lane miles of complete streets per year is that so many different community organizations ~8 years ago showed support and have little to show for it now. but hey, the Bike Lobby Hater Won.

one of the more subtle reasons you shouldn't wear an ai generated shirt is it prevents you from wearing a banned books shirt that has books which have been BANED.

heart-brokenly thinking about the rich body of work (puar, davis, atshan, hill, coates, etc) that could spare someone from not grasping the deep connection between palestine and ice. as trans rot we know our liberation is entangled with theirs. (not qting the op to reduce conflict.)

we were out of the loop on the nyt editorial (caught up, lol, what trash) and instead thought it was about a different McWhorter and were trying to piece together what a historian who covered the Nez Perce had to do with Mamdani. >_>

if, terrifyingly, they woke up that fateful oct 31st and the cecil-side house was at the currently zoned max height of 35ft, with the as-built-footprint, shade lasts until 9:36am, the worst case with 25ft would push that back to 10:11am ish.

imagining someone on the kirk side, waking up on october 31st... they enjoy the morning sun on their back porch, sunrise is at 7:37am, their back yard is shaded by their cecil side neighbor until 8:50ish, (shademap.app model, heights weren't correct so added a shape, added 2nd to ignore tree cover)

we picked an arbitrary r-6 plat in chm to look at (w 9 s 14, block 4114-I), between kirk and cecil off exeter. (caveat: it's sort of bad bc the cecil side is built smaller than as-zoned (red)), but you can compare the lot (green) to prev (45%, gold) and new (60% blue) with 25ft min backyard

gee if only the journalist writing this piece could have taken just a few more lines to think through what O'Shea is *actually* saying here. what is o'shea going to "enlighten" trans residents about? does that *particular* choice of words communicate something about what O'Shea believes?
![quote from qt'd article, text reads:
O’Shea said the laws coming from the federal government are hard to interpret, but “are laws that have to be abided by.”
“So what do we need to do? We need to enlighten them [residents] to make them understand is what you’re talking about correct,” he said.
“I will totally support the citizens and the residents of Annapolis, and I will do everything I can to make it so the people that are here know what the laws are and that we can figure out ways to help them,” O’Shea said.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lfnfobw7hwgudbxsv3rrhjjc/bafkreihofsnoxmdyydqtsinghbltohb47avlyy7g3mmzaqqexzgqslm3d4@jpeg)

we keep getting too disabled to finish a full writeup on this but cannot understate the levels of embarassment that should flow to every representative and employee of our city that believed in this grift. (one wyominc pilot ended in less than 2 years and the other never started)

we're out of our depth on this 😭: ch 4 in Whitman's '97 "The Price of Freedom: Slavery and Manumission in Baltimore and
Early National Maryland" discusses so many moving pieces for manumission, mentions how little info was required, and draws some comparison to coartacion in cuba, but dsnt answer q
