Extremely petty and small complaint: my favoritest clothing company did a collection featuring my favoritest [dead white] artist, and I had no money at the time & it all sold out...and now they have a limited restock, but I still have no money

Every time a historical costumer posts that they’ve modified a technique to allow for not getting fucking heat stroke, people have a cow. Gonna let you in on a little secret that is not at all secret, you just don’t get it: Climate change completely aside, it was colder in the past.

HELP MY SON &I ESCAPE GENOCIDE IN DRC

Hello, my name is Gladys Bogomba, and I’m a young mom to a sweet 6-year-old boy, Theophile. We’re from Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo but our lives have been changed by the silent genocide. ...

#FreeCongo 🇨🇩 The situation here isn't getting better with Militia raids each day & the ebola outbreak. My son and I fear for our lives & need your help with our daily survival amidst this terror and evacuation to safety. Please help share/donate🙏🏾🙏🏾🇨🇩 goget.fund/4db20A6

Nowhere close to how the people being fucked over by e.g. paramilitary forces in the US and elsewhere are Going Through It rn, to be clear. Still, the helplessness of seeing what's happening everywhere and understanding it but not being able to stop it...I don't have the right words to describe this

If you want to think through white supremacist violence and the failures of Reconstruction IRL & w/ other thoughtful people, I gotchu bsky.app/profile/full... But I mean it when I say that these tours are full of unnerving content rn

Y'all asked us for seasonally-appropriate Halloween tours, so you get them! No literal ghosts or jumpscares on these (we recommend @baltimoreghosts.bsky.social for that!), but we're not kidding about the disquieting part. More info in flyer ⬇️ & at this link fullstorybaltimore.tours/our-tours/#h...

A colorful flyer with various tour photos interspersed with the following text:

Full Story Baltimore’s
Countdown to Halloween 2026

Coming this October: three weeks of disquieting lantern-lit walking tours

Baltimore’s Confederate Shadows: Mount Vernon to Midtown
Wednesday, October 14, 7:30pm
Saturday, October 17, 8:00pm
Let’s talk about Baltimore’s most uneasy ghosts (metaphorical!), the ghastly people—Confederates and secessionist sympathizers—behind some of our beloved local institutions

Baltimore’s Confederate Shadows: Wyman Park and Charles Village
Friday, October 23, 8:00pm
Sunday, October 25, 7:30pm
It’s time to shine a light on the monstrous (long-dead) humans and real-life gothic horrors that lurk in the histories of this part of town—and it’s long past time for a reckoning

Radical Spirits in Reservoir Hill
Wednesday, October 28, 7:00pm
Friday, October 30, 7:30pm
This one’s a palate cleanser after the previous two—atmospheric Victorian architecture, with inspirational stories of community organizing & direct action

We have heard from recently laid off Chronicle employees who are working on their own time to try and facilitate transfers of collections bc unlike the people who ran the company, they actually care about protecting cultural heritage. This situation is a travesty.

I appreciate this more in-depth look at how it all unfolded. There’s still concern about what happens to the artifacts, paperwork, and most importantly, human remains. bsky.app/profile/tmit...

Looking for a lawyer with expertise in immigration policy and immigrant rights who can look a document over and potentially comment on its implications. Bonus points if you're tech savvy. projectsaltbox@proton.me or mwriston.410 on Signal.

Hello People Who Teach! If you have ever assigned The House Archives Built [in essay or book format] in a class, could you share with me the department/class title/class type if the title is very mysterious? I'd appreciate it! Less than I appreciate the actual teaching but still a hearty amount!

Our Countdown to Halloween starts in just one week! Ready to feel a little bit unnerved?? Join us for the ~Baltimore's Confederate Shadows: Mount Vernon to Midtown~ walking tour on Weds Oct 14 or Sat Oct 17. More info and tix @ fullstorybaltimore.tours/our-tours/#h...
