Finished knitting my first ever beanie this week and donated it to the Baltimore Baby Fund raffle where it found its new home with Emily! If you are a Baltimore City voter, sign the petition to get the charter amendment added to the ballot next fall so we can fight child poverty 💛

Our workplace rights weren’t given to us.

This May Day, working people are saying “enough.” We’ll fight to protect all workers from Trump's illegal attacks on our jobs, our unions, our contracts, and our freedoms. www.mobilize.us/aflcio/?q=Ma...

AI is bad for the environment and uses way too much water to justify Blue Water Baltimore using it to hop on a trend. There are better ways to thank your staff! Embarrassing.

Elon and his DOGE buddies ran scared yesterday. We’re not going to let any billionaire CEO take over the Department of Labor to hurt working families. Not on our watch.

Additionally - my mom had five kids, homeschooled most of us, then taught for a while. Once my youngest sibling was out of the house Mom got her masters and is now a licensed therapist. She was in her 50s. Again, it's never too late! Not everything has to happen in your 20s!

Also - he has a computer science, statistics, and IT background. So it's not like his whole career has led to this!

If you ever feel like it's "too late" to start over, pursue a different career, or do that thing you've always wanted to do, think about my dad: He finished law school, passed the bar, and was just sworn in to the MD Court. In the same year he turned 60. It's never too late to try something new!
