In twelve days, New Yorkers will begin to cast their ballots and face a stark choice.

A choice between democracy and oligarchy. Between a city you can afford or more of the same. Between the hope of a brighter future or a broken past.

We will choose the future.

My kindergartener was repeating the step of her active shooter drill today. Apparently they’re supposed to look, listen, throw things at the shooter, then run away.

What a fucked up country we live in that we teach kindergartners to take on people with guns instead of regulating the fucking guns.

NHL weekend rankings: It’s too early to know anything, except maybe in Buffalo

It never makes sense to panic when you're two or three games in. Still, let's sort some teams after an eventful weekend.

Our government is engaged in child trafficking. They transported a kid across state lines, something even a parent is not allowed to do without the express permission of the other parent. Someone in the GOP needs to explain how this makes this country safe. 2/2

The thing that is most devastating to me about the ongoing evisceration of the public health infrastructure in the U.S right is how little awareness of what's going on the majority of people in the general public have and the impact this will have on their health and safety.

I admit it was more exciting in real life than it is in the photograph, but my first sighting of a porcupine in the wild, at a rest step off Rt 17 near Owego, NY today.

Photo of tall trees against a blue sky. Circled in purple is a large porcupine resting in a nook in one of the trees.

When you read Project 2025's sections on public health, the complete rage and vitriol just oozes off the page (along with a bunch of batshit loony ideas). It approaches nihilism, despite whatever else they might claim.

The De Facto Trump Administration Blueprint, Project 2025, Is Full of COVID-Related Insanity

Among the torrent of bullshit that is the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025–a blueprint for a second Trump administration–is this section on public health (pp. 451-452; boldface mine): Goal …

Illegally firing the CDC experts while he gets the latest COVID vaccine is really beyond the pale.

Attempting to “live with” (aka ignore) airborne viruses circulating at high levels *is a choice*.

Next Saturday Oct 18, millions of people across America will join together to send a clear message: We the people have the power. Find your local event today and raise your voice for the science, facts, and truth we need to counter the authoritarian overreach of President Trump and his enablers.

No Kings

Last night’s dream: Hurriedly constructed an ice cream sandwich of sorts using large heart-shaped nutter butter cookies (minus the peanut butter) and quickly-melting chocolate ice cream. Broke it into pieces and shared with whoever was around.

Sometimes it just feels like a poem was written exactly for you. I've read this one a hundred times, have even heard WB read it, but when I began to read it this morning the first line brought tears to my eyes.
