People debate whether or not there’s a great millenial novel, but how can there be one when so many classics begin with a character haphazardly buying a new house in a new town for “reasons” and “just because”

Issue 59 of Baltimore Beat is live. April 19 will mark 10 years since Freddie Gray’s death. This issue looks back on that tumultuous time in our city’s history. Our cover was designed by Wide Angle Youth Media.

This is an image of issue 59 of Baltimore Beat. It is a photo of a man holding an American flag. Above the man’s head is the word “uprising” in red text.

One of the reasons @baltimorebeat.bsky.social is so essential is because it provides features like the multi-page list of community resources for food, rent, health, etc. Critical community information you won’t routinely see in other media outlets serving the City.

At a certain point, the numbers become ambiguous. “DOGE saved $12 million” might as well be “billion.” In a federal budget of trillions, it all sounds like a fortune to the right idiot that wants to feel good about this.

As we all know, NEH funding was already almost inexpressibly meager. It bears repeating that they’ve targeted NEH and IMLS exactly because they’ve been *incredibly* efficient at spurring new thought, writing, and community-building.

IMLS is the Institute of Museum and Library Services. It's about $200 million per year for libraries and $50 million for museums. Not a lot for the federal budget, but a huge piece of the culture and knowledge system - which is why MAGA is eliminating it.

The library and the post office are the only two systems we have that circulate things widely and to everyone, no matter who they are or what they believe. The library is the only one that, for now, is not forced to pay for itself at point of sale. Attacks on IMLS are attacks on every one of us.
