check this out👇🏾my last story for @BaltimoreBanner looks at the intersection of regional Black vernacular and Black ASL, a distinct language used my Black deaf folks.
ASL isn’t the same as English. Black Baltimorean ASL is a language unto itself.

For most of Wednesday, many Locust Point residents experienced something they had not all summer: quiet. The noisy military ships polluting the area near hundreds of residents finally left. Then — as mysteriously as they moved — one came back. https://t.co/CDPTp3j5D8

Locust Point residents thought their wishes had been granted Wednesday when two massive and noisy military cargo ships left the spot where they’d been berthed since June. But then one returned.

Such a well reported and written story @NinaCGiraldo ! The Locust Point ships beat lives on!
Since early June, many Locust Point residents have had to live with the constant hum of two nearby military ships. How loud is too loud? @PatrickMcCas and I took to the streets to find out. https://t.co/Do3TPg581T

Such a blast to report! Go and read/listen to it and see just how loud those Locust Point ships get
Locust Point residents have had to live all summer with a constant hum, about the volume of a vacuum cleaner. How does it compare to the loudest places in Baltimore? @PatrickMcCas & @NinaCGiraldo took to the streets (with a mic!) to find out. https://t.co/gwnZKugfNA

Baltimore ended the first half of 2022 with 179 homicides, the worst first half of a year on record (since 1970). Baltimore just ended the first half of 2025 with 68 homicides, which is the fewest on record. That’s a 62 percent drop from 2022-2025

@elonmusk Newsflash: The NEWS is being posted to *your platform* constantly by actual journalists. You know, the folks you dismissively call the “legacy media”. Without that content— what remains on X would be a toxic stew of nonsense, rumors, vitriol and conspiracy theories. You get it?

I'm on a full tuition scholarship at UM. If my scholarship was included in this rule, then I would have to pay nearly $22,000, out of pocket, to complete my planned degree, or I would have to drop two of my majors, undoing 42 credit hours (~2,200 hours of work).
