Someone smart please just tell me how to vote on these ballot questions, they are long and I am a very tired transplant who doesn't know anything

Love that the Baltimore Banner's voter's guide isn't included in the Pratt subscription for some reason 🙃

I know social media is evil, 100%, but it has also served me fifty videos from today’s Paris Sausage Dog Walk, basically the pinnacle of all my interests

They don’t want you to know this but it’s actually good for babies to have toast crumbs dropped on their heads every once in a while

Managed one pass through the Baltimore Book Fest while the baby took a carrier nap and calling it a big success. Gorgeous day for it 📚

If there are any notaries on Baltimore bsky hit me up, I guess 😭

Definitely the state’s fault since it’s a capitalization issue/could not have been my handwriting!! Boooo

The baby’s birth certificate finally arrived and it has a typo in her name 🙃

The Wind Cave by Courtney Pasko

The daughter is tired of walking, the muscles in her thighs and calves trembling as they climb, but there’s no chance of the father turning around until he’s seen everything he came to see. The forest...

I hope it’s infrastructure week again soon, those were always so productive

Finally got out of the house for our first stroller walk today and hoo boy, if you thought I complained too much about infrastructure BEFORE !

Love this new story from Nathan, now in Echidna lit: “If the clocks were as old as the countryside and the doctor’s house had been built around them, it would come as no surprise.” echidnalitmag.com/2026/09/06/l...

Maybe too broad an ask but if you have a favorite poem about mother/parenthood that is A) NOT about grief or death, at least not entirely and B) is actually a good poem and not hallmarky/instagrammy I’d love to read it!

Courtney Pasko @cpasko.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Yes!! Unfortunately had some complications (all good now!) that kept us in a bit longer but all home and holding a sleepy baby as I type. 💕

The makeup summons arrived while I was mid-induction at the hospital, lmao. (My midwife already sent an excusal letter.) The devil works hard but Baltimore Circuit Court, etc etc

Too slow for the hummingbird but a close-up to obfuscate all the weeding I’ve been neglecting

The day I've been dreading for two and a half years finally happened: forgot my badge at home, didn't realize until I was at the office, and have stuff on the calendar that meant I had to do my commute twice instead of just going back to bed. I think I could've done better but it was a decent run.
