@GottaLaff I’m quite pleased with my kids’ 13 years of #FairfaxCounty FCPS education. (And #ArlingtonCounty next door is comparably top-notch.) I don’t just mean the academics of course; their schools and peers (#LGBTQ and otherwise) contributed positively to their social and moral upbringing as well.

Hailstones 1 cm across are falling. Haven’t seen that in #fairfaxCounty in forever.

Wait, what? A tornado watch? I’m not in Kansas (City) anymore, Toto! 🌪️

Thanks antivaxxers! We got #pertussis (#whoopingCough) in #fairfaxCounty

If you're an adult, you should get a booster if you haven't in the last 10 years. You can do it at the same time as your covid booster.
