I'm seeing ppl share memories of COVID & how ppl died. I will never regret what we did in NYC to stop COVID spread at schools. One of the highlights of my life will be that we saved people's lives by fighting for a safer school reopening. 80% of NYC schools families opted to stay remote Sep 2020.

Asking for ideas: I'm running a NYC weekend retreat with teenagers around the country & am looking for an unforgettable group activity! We've already had a Broadway dance/musical workshop, Broadway shows, & a Christies tour. Nonprofit life means we're not made of money, but we have a budget. Ideas?

Today's NYC blizzard news made me really miss Twitter and how quickly you could find real-time information, sigh. But I guess I have to post more here.

Remember how during the pandemic masking eliminated an entire flu strain, well guess what ? Large health systems including mine are back to recommending masking for visitors + healthcare personnel in hospitals and clinics due to the very high levels of flu we are seeing currently & because it works!

Newly unsealed docs show DOJ moved to prosecute Kilmar Abrego Garcia for smuggling only after it became clear Trump might not be able to deport him. Sure looks driven by a desire to punish him for fighting back against Trump/Miller lawlessness. Trump had to be right. www.cbsnews.com/news/abrego-...

Here's one recipe site I found which says to add cardamom and clove if you want it extra spicy, but that may also make it taste less like red hots! cookieandkate.com/cinnamon-tea/

I would boil up some 1-2 cinnamon sticks if I were you! Boil them longer until you get the flavor you want: online says maybe for 15-20 min. Hopefully that'll get you there!

I won't be done in 2026 but I'm revising my memoir on trying to connect with my parents when I'm not fluent in their Chinese languages & they don't speak English, so trying to connect instead w/ my history thru my relative Vincent Chin whose 1982 Detroit murder spawned an Asian American movement. ✏️📝

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

Finished my read-through of this 2.5 draft. A lot of work to be done and a lot of scenes and snippets to be rewritten entirely, but I feel a path forward with this memoir manuscript. Man though does IVF and infertility after loss just suck all the creative life out of you though.

2 ppl have already emailed me much longer responses to this question, thank you so much. This is obvs hugely emotional, and I'm open to DMs & emails. It's been hard to open up this question to my older friends as I don't want to open up a deep well of grief. So truly, thank you for your generosity.

He let loose almost 200 unhinged posts on Christmas Day. You’d think someone would have wrestled his phone away after 20, 40 or even a hundred posts. They know he’s too far gone. They also know he won’t escape the Epstein fallout. They’re letting him make his case for the 25th amendment.

2025 has been a crappy year, going thru #infertility after loss. Though we will keep trying, I'm grappling with the possibility of not having a biological kid. For those who tried and didn't get to, can you tell me how your life has been afterwards? Your stories after trying would be helpful 🙏🏻

The worst part about the AI bubble popping is how many average people will be affected by the economic fallout. People will lose their job, kids will go hungry, and families will lose their homes. Yet these billionaire bastards won't feel a thing other than a decline in their net worth.

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record. I just don't know what to say anymore.

Fully agree, and I'm grateful Vincent wrote and had the sense to publish this. I know so little about Uncle Vincent besides his murder, as do most of my family who immigrated or were born after Vincent's murder, so I'm grateful he documented.
