I'm so tempted to move there, dig into Baltimore, write a sci-fi musical about Baltimore LOL

One item I regularly complain about in my LJ is gun violence.  So far in 2022 the US has experienced 25,646 deaths due to gun violence.  The US has the second highest number of deaths from gun violence in the world, second only to Brazil ( Read more... )

I finally felt like doing something, so I went to the local MoCo Greens website and found it hadn't been updated in a long time, and gave me no info on when/where the next meeting might be. It had a form to fill out for more info, so I filled it out. I've heard nothing back yet ( Read more... )
