I was so excited to get my MD parks Universal Disability Pass a few months ago Since then MD DNR quietly changed it to just be for...hunting from a car 🫩

What is a Universal Disability Pass (UDP)

The UDP allows the holder to hunt from a vehicle under the ADA/504 program and COMAR 08.03.10.09 when possessing a valid MD hunting license. A companion may be in the vehicle with the pass holder but may not hunt from the vehicle.

The UDP does *not* cover park entrance or use fees, including automated gate entrance systems or service charges, camping fees, boat launches and rentals, bus parking, or other concessions and special charges.

The Universal Disability Pass (UDP) is a free lifetime pass that does not require renewal. Identification may be requested when the UDP is presented.

Baltimore Police on some real bullshit

Facebook post from Baltimore Police Department:
"BPD Launches Neurodivergent Individuals Database, Expands Tools to Support Safer Interactions
In recognition of World Autism Acceptance Month and World Autism Awareness Day on April 2, BPD is proud to launch a new initiative designed to better support neurodivergent individuals and enhance safe, effective interactions with law enforcement.
BPD's Community Partnerships Unit is introducing a Neurodivergent Individuals Database, a voluntary program that allows individuals or caregivers to securely share important information with the Department.
Participants who enroll in the program are provided with a tactile keychain featuring a unique identification number. If an officer encounters an individual who may be in distress, has eloped, or a family member that requires assistance, the keychain allows officers to quickly access critical information through the secure database."

"BPD's neurodivergent individual
Secure database
The baltimore police department (bpd) is committed to providing safety, security, health and welfare for our neurodivergent and vulnerable community members.
• address
• emergency contact
• health conditions
• communication method
This allows BPD officers to quickly assist neurodivergent individuals in the field and help connect them to the right support.
If you or someone you know would like to receive more information or would like to sign up for the database, please contact:
Bpdliaisons@baltimorepolice.Org"
Includes photo of the keychain neurodivergent people are supposed to get. It has two circles on it, one that says "Baltimore Police Department" and the other with the, I guess, database ID number.

Realizing that many liberals just think "fascism" is a 1:1 synonym for "evil"

Tweet from Carl Nyberg: "So, what's the liberal plan to deal with growing Nazi political power in the United States?"
Reply from redacted: "Love.
That's it.
Fascism is never beaten - it is always there... relentless, raging.
It's an external, collective manifestation of our internal fears, rage - and insecurity.
It's the attempt to deny our mortality - it's the need to be seen.
Love."

Should note that this is from 2022.

Aaand this is why raised crosswalks are superior to curb cuts

In July 2022 we rescued a kitten from the side of the road. After a week in our apartment we took "Ash" to the Baltimore SPCA. We wanted to keep them but couldn't and I've always wondered how they're doing. Did you adopt Ash?

I'm raising for my friend who lived down the street from us at our old place. She's been in a shitty living situation for a while now and I'm hoping this will finally be able to help her have a fresh start!

Our neighbor needs your help! Miss Debra is a disabled Black elder who is hoping to move to North $ Carolina to be with her extended family. But first, she needs our help!
We need to raise $4,200 to help her pay her remaining bills before she can leave. Any extra will go towards her moving expenses. V3nmo: @BeKa211. Include "Miss Debra" in the memo

Reddit comment from LimpBizkitStankGirl: "Okay some googling later: [Game Recognize Game] was Rachel Rosing. Ben Kantt is the trans dude."
