Seven years ago, New Yorkers collectively fell in love with a mysterious, brightly colored @centralparknyc.bsky.social visitor—the mandarin duck, better known as the hot duck. Reposting this memory and wondering… how has it already been seven years?

With the new military tuition rate, SUNY is removing barriers and making sure cost is never what stands between servicemembers and their education. On Veterans Day, and every day, SUNY is proud to support our veterans, active duty servicemembers, and military-connected students.

All gave some… some gave all. 🇺🇸
A solemn moment of gratitude for all who serve — past, present, and future.

“You can always find a reason not to do something… but what you need to focus on is the one reason to do it. There is meaning to be found in being present… in making connections… in actually listening and talking to people.” - Dr. Vivek Murthy #AAMC25 @aamc.org

A day late, but worth remembering: 14 years ago I earned my EdD from @teacherscollege.bsky.social @columbiauniversity.bsky.social. I doubted I belonged—imposter syndrome is real—but learned belonging isn’t given; it’s claimed through persistence, purpose & community. @columbiaalumni.bsky.social

Last night it was Mariano Duncan: “We play today. We win today. Das it.” ⚾️

Tonight it’s the late, great Freddy Sez. His sign said it best: “Win Yankees! Do it again!” 🔔🍳🥄
