I care about public school, writing, childhood literacy, horror movies, poems, urban gardening, listening to the same bands I liked in high school, new music, Greenpoint, bad tv, good tv, and birds.

The United States Government and ICE shot an American in the face three times. It should begin and end with that horrible fact. But days after the brutal murder of Reneé Good, we’ve seen cruel attempts to smear her and question her motherhood.

We know students are vaping too, should we be blazing up to “be equipped to deal with all the issues” vaping creates?? This is wild logic.
We know students, like the rest of the world, are using AI. Teachers need to be equipped to deal w/all the issues AI creates. Our approach starts with maximizing safety & privacy and empowering educators to make educational decisions, so AI tools can benefit not harm www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...
AI has become the norm for students. Teachers are playing catch-up.
At a New York City training session, educators explored how artificial intelligence could support teaching while also discussing their concerns around the technology.

As the Pacific Northwest floods because of the fossil fueled #climatecrisis, moms in NYC gathered at @governor.ny.gov's Manhattan office to protest her climate backtracking, corruption and betrayal. We won't stand by while she sacrifices our children for her AI, real-estate and fossil fuel donors.

ICE's cruelty has reached our district. Yuanxin, a precious 6-year-old who attends P.S. 166 in Astoria, was DETAINED and SEPARATED from his dad last week.
His dad, Fei, is in upstate ICE detention. Nobody knows where Yuanxin is.
We must end this inhumanity. ICE out of New York!

Yo @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social you are a coward and a disgrace. What “horrors of socialism” are you denouncing exactly? Feeding people? Childcare? The city you live in, the people you claim to represent, just elected a socialist mayor. Get the fuck out of here with this bullshit.

Just the other day after walking our son to school we watched a car blast through a red light right in front of a traffic cop. The cop chirped their sirens for a second and did absolutely nothing. During the morning commute, pedestrians everywhere. The NYPD truly doesn’t give a single shit.
so uhhhhh is anyone going to do anything about the epidemic of drivers just blasting through red lights these days? @timdonnelly.com investigates: nygroove.nyc/why-does-no-...
Society broke down and all, but you really still need to stop at red lights
I can't believe we need to explain this one, but it seems that we really do
