The (second) first pitch of MLB’s 150th season is minutes away (MIL-NYY and BAL-TOR).
It all began with the NL’s first game at Jefferson Street Grounds in Philadelphia on April 22, 1876.
The soon-to-be-defunct Phil. Athletics hosted the future Atlanta Braves.

I reported for @theartnewspaper.bsky.social on the recent identification of a cemetery for enslaved people at Andrew Jackson's plantation, where overgrowth and absence from historic records obscured it from visibility www.theartnewspaper.com/2025/02/14/c...
Cemetery for enslaved people rediscovered at Andrew Jackson’s Tennessee plantation
Long-obscured and forgotten, the burial plots of more than two dozen people enslaved by the seventh president of the US are located and honoured

This I think is so critical! We are so entrenched in *normalcy* that we genuinely cannot accept what is happening. Please don’t get me started on “reasonable moderates” who think anyone sounding the alarm is just a reactionary!
simply repeating the straight reporting of what is happening in the executive branch makes you sound like you have lost your mind.

Had anyone been making #historicpreservation and/or #architecturalhistory videos on TikTok over the past few years? I’d come across random things from say 2021-2022 in the past, but never anything consistent.
