I'm still here! I have just been trying to be more present in life and not on social media so much. Thank you for following and sharing my work.

I am currently in Nashville, TN spending time with friends but will be back in Baltimore soon :)

Whoops - there was a shelter in place for warning beforehand but I am not 100% sure if it ACTUALLY was a tornado. Soooo just keep that in mind 😅

A tornado ripped the roof off of the Merritt in Canton. 👇🏼 (Drone shot by Ulysses Muñoz)

The state of Georgia is using the body of a brain-dead woman as an incubator. Because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died, and their abortion ban is from about 6 weeks, they are sustaining her on life support, without input from her family, until 32 weeks of gestation. A true dystopian nightmare.

Peace out to an old tattoo that tethered me to a life I’ve moved on from. The new one is by Masha at Saints and Sinners in Fells Point 🥰

You think with all the money the city spends on software for various portals and such they would….work.

I’ve been trying to get into my account to renew my parking permit for weeks.

Thank you so much :)

Before the horses race in the Kentucky Derby on Saturday evening, Baltimore had an annual race of its own with a poodle, a crocodile and other sculptures trekking around the city through sand, water and mud. ✨
