It might take a little effort... But if you can learn that in Spanish “ll” (often) sounds like English “y”, “j” sounds like “h”, and “ñ” sounds like “ny”, then you can also learn that in Chinese “zh” is like “j”, “x” is like “sh”, and “q” is like “ch”. (2/8)

Confused by the political rhetoric you've heard about the Blueprint for Maryland's future? This is the clearest explanation I've seen anywhere. One quote sums it up:

I am disappointed to report that Maryland Department of Health sent an email to @AAHealth on Saturday evening at 8pm announcing that the coming week’s allocation of vaccines would be reduced from the 5,000 that we had expected to only 2,925.

Believing that the Paris Agreement is about Paris residents should be embarrassing for a lawmaker but is likely quite effective at making this issue even more polarizing — which stands to benefit the most conservative lawmakers.

Would you do this please? RT to share this piece by @annas_tea_ about my paternal grandmother, the great #AlbertaKing. She was an amazing woman and her story should be shared, not forgotten. #MLK time.com/5928623/martin-luth…

It’s pretty simple. When the questions you’re “just asking” are based on lies, the questions aren’t just questions. They’re lies. In service of other lies.

The Blueprint for Maryland's Future is the right path forward to help our schools and students recover from the inequities that have only been exacerbated by the pandemic—and it's already substantially funded.

I hope the congress members that have PTSD now or had PTSD triggered that they already had are able to get good threapy.
The only reason I was able to continue doing this work and going to school because I got a good therapist.
It’s 100,000 times harder without therapy.

But the crucial message remains that this is a respiratory virus with ways to control it. There are countries that *have* controlled it. If yours has not, ask why not. Those who cannot work from home deserve protection too, and that starts with keeping transmission low 15/end

We received confirmation today that the new COVID UK variant was detected in two positive cases from a single household in #AnneArundel County. The UK variant is more easily transmitted between individuals which is why there is greater surveillance for this variant.
