Art Can Change The World…
A VISUAL 🧵

I just visited #MOCO Amsterdam and wanted to share some of my experience. If you like modern art, have a 👀 — maybe over morning coffee or an afternoon glass of wine.

Starting with my favorite piece of the day.
“The Gun Chronicles” A story… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Another favorite…
“The Future Is Old”
[artist: The Kid 2018-2019]

Part of his series sparked by the 2017 events in Charlottesville. ImageImage

I'm at the @wamu885 event on #MoCo #Thrive2050 debate hosted by the inimitable Kojo. Will try (somehow!) to live-tweet a' la @MoCoMikeE ... :)
#Kojo sets the right stage by noting the fundamental dearth of housing in #MoCo - driving higher rent and making homeownership less in reach.
@Will4MoCo came on a scooter! Points out growth of diversity in #MoCo, notes school system is 70% people of color, and they are housing-deprived.

What it really takes to make a bill into law - host @sunildasgupta4 with @MC_Council_Katz & his e-🛴bill. "You may remember from the old Schoolhouse Rock jingle 'I'm a bill' that for every bill that successfully becomes a law, there are many more that don't get anywhere near."
Interlude for Schoolhouse Rock! "I'm Just a Bill"
Season 3 Episode 1
September 18, 1975
Written by Dave Frishberg
Sung by Jack Sheldon
"The e-🛴bill made it. But what didn't? A real road safety bill, to take 1 giant example. 35 people have died on roads in #MoCo in the year 2022, and this is only October. Not one of them because of scooters. But an e-🛴bill is what @MoCoCouncilMD passed."

I’ve been seeing a push to get MCPS teachers KN95 masks.
Obviously, getting vaccinated is hugely important.
Ventilation in schools is important.
…and masks are certainly part of the mix keeping the air clear, because after all, #COVIDisairborne
As you are thinking about mitigating occupational hazards, you’ve got to think about the NIOSH hierarchy of controls. That upside-down pyramid is a good reminder to take care of the most important things first. cdc.gov/niosh/topics/h…
That would be elimination – which we’d all prefer to see #Covid eliminated from @MCPS our schools…and preferably our lives!

Summer time!! 🍒 Pool's closed, so my friends & I spent the afternoon hosing each other down on the deck (while 6 feet apart).
"GIT 'ER!!, GIT 'ER!!" That's right, NO ONE escapes summer's Sunday Funday hose. Not even @dillysev. 🍒
It was 108°F / 42°C in DC today. 🌞

1/ I am an @MCPS educator. The message the @mocoboe has sent to the public is VERY different than the messages they are sending to staff. They have neither the manpower nor the resources to keep kids safe at levels recommended by the @CDCgov.
2/I am a parent in the system as well as an educator. I will NOT be sending my children into the festering petri dishes that classrooms will become without proper protections.
3/ Teachers--including teachers that are immunocompromised and/or who live with immunocompromised people are being given "consideration" about working remotely but aren't being guaranteed.

Good morning, beautiful souls! ❤️ Remember to VOTE today if your state if having a primary. (Psst! That includes you, Maryland.) #MoCo #DTSS
Remember to do your homework before you vote. 📝 For example, here's a list of judges on the Maryland ballot.
bethesdamagazine.com/2020-primary-v…
When I vote, as a quick gut check — in addition to googling candidates' backgrounds — I cross reference what @NARAL, @NAACP & @MSEAeducators have said about the candidates.

County Executive @Marc_Elrich says Montgomery County will stay with current guidelines because it is not safe to reopen yet. The County has the second highest number of #COVID19 cases in the state. #MoCo #StayHome #StaySafe
It is important to be careful, @Marc_Elrich said. Nearly 400 deaths in the County. We are going to stick with the guidelines. Do everything you can to keep people safe.
We are going to do everything we can do to make Montgomery County safe, @Marc_Elrich said. Face coverings are still required. Physical distancing guidelines are still in place. Only go out for essential travel and permitted exercise.

En 2019, en las profundas y frías aguas del fiordo Ørstafjorden (#Noruega), el capitán Nils Baadnes y el buzo Ronald Raasch grabaron una extraña y ondulante forma esferoidal movida por las corrientes marinas.
¿De qué se trataba?
Según cuentan, les costó un poco identificar el origen de esa enorme masa mucosa que se presentaba ante sus ojos.
Hasta que una de las linternas iluminó el interior.

Remember this is the @SheriffBernal all the #LocalTrump types paid $500,000 to get into office?
And @RepJimmyPanetta so cozy with ‘Judge’ John Phillips (who clings to his title like an incontinent old man clings to his diaper) with #PLASHAWILL as the bag woman for both of these two: (and #BipartisanJimmy is silent on #MoCo #corruption 🤔)
And the multi-hundred millionaire #WarrenWayland who had the @CityofSalinas and County of Monterey name a stadium after him at the #Salinas Community Center. The #accountant who has paid huge fines for failing to timely report many, many campaign contributions?

There have been 57 police-reported crashes with non-motorists on Old Georgetown Rd since 1/1/15. 24 🚴‍♀️, 30 🚶‍♀️, 3 other.

42% of non-motorists struck on Old Georgetown Rd are people on bikes.

County-wide 21% of non-motorists struck are 🚴‍♀️.

@MDSHA @MCDOTNow @MoCoCouncilMD
@MDSHA @MCDOTNow @MoCoCouncilMD Almost half of non-motorists struck on Old Georgetown Rd are people on🚲. This shows:

1. There is demand for🚲routes on Old Georgetown Rd.
2. Biking on Old Georgetown Rd is not safe.

We need a plan NOW for protected🚲routes AND wider sidewalks on Old Georgetown Rd.

#bikemoco
@MDSHA @MCDOTNow @MoCoCouncilMD Hey @mocoboe @MCPS - Woodward HS is on Old Georgetown Rd. Kids will bike. What will you do so that kids can bike *safely*?
