my armenian father getting angry at a squirrel
my dad is famous
“You bastard, what are you doing over there?”
*camera zooms in*
“You are STEALING my nuts. Hey. Hey!”
*becoming more strident*
“Are you listening to me?!”
*taps on wall, causing squirrel to startle*
“You. Are. A. Little. Thief.”
Got home this evening from errands and realized I've been running around town looking like some kind of survival horror game protagonist.
I'm out here in my jeans and boots and hoodie and old green field jacket, just carrying groceries, but I look like I should be running around and yelling "Mia!!" and/or "Rose!!" a lot.
*putting my hand in the cavernous space between what you are and what you pretend to be, and wiggling it around* woah haha is there meant to be that much emptiness here? lol are you like okay bestie? omg this kind of tickles my hand does this tickle your nothing? #yournothing <3

What are some of your favorite things about Baltimore? I'm planning to move to the area in a while, but I don't know anyone who's lived there, so I'm curious what things you love about it as a person who does!
(Feel free to ignore if that's too personal/gets into doxxing territory though!)

No worries, I love talking about Baltimore. A lot of what I love about it is what I love about city living in general: diversity, a unique arts scene, walking and biking to stuff, social justice orgs, and a sizeable queer community with lots of events to go to.
Baltimore is a small city, both in geography and population, and that leads to the “smalltimore” phenomenon of “oh yeah I know that guy they’re in my friend’s band/softball team/polycule.” So you do get a little bit of a small town vibe, for better or worse. I like that about us.
And there’s crabs and lake trout and stuff but I’m a vegetarian so I don’t really care about that. But if you like seafood you’ll have a lot to choose from. I also don’t care about football but we DO have the best NFL mascot so at least wearing purple is normalized everywhere you go.
The city’s reputation for crime is pretty outdated. Violent crime is way down and most people you meet will be aggressively friendly to you. Politically we’re fairly left-leaning. Only 12% of voters in Baltimore city voted for Trump in 2024–though that percentage does go way up in several nearby areas just outside the city.
As for stuff that makes us, like, special: I think the Baltimore Rock Opera Society, Bike Party, kinetic sculpture race, historic ships in the harbor, National Aquarium, Artscape, and our tons of small nearby parks and nature sites are things I would be devastated to leave behind if I moved away. We also have a lot of unique museums: the Visionary Art Museum, Great Blacks in Wax, and the Museum of Industry just to name a few. We used to have Otakon, too, but they moved to DC. At least we still have the annual Faerie Festival nearby keeping it weird.
