why is it not enough that vulnerable people must give up their rights for the greater good? why must they also accept their own sacrifice quietly and graciously? ask yourself if you would be so forgiving if you were the one expected to suffer for the greater good

Last night of beach vacation and I’m sad to leave but also happy to go home, if that makes sense.
Late afternoon view of a sandy and rocky beach at low tide with smooth water and a blue sky with many clouds. Rays of sun shine down from upper right. Dried seaweed and pile of fishing debris are seen.

Watching it happen to family right before my eyes. We must consider our elders’ needs when designing autos, furniture, fixtures, dwellings and commercial spaces. And the stupid phone thing is ridiculous. Making swaths of our population feel irrelevant for profit.

Black text on a white page that reads:

New York: this is not ordinary summer weather. This is dangerous heat that can take lives. Our administration is mobilizing to keep people safe and the city prepared. 

We are: 

✔️ Opening hundreds of cooling centers. You can find your nearest cooling center at finder.nyc.gov/coolingcenters/ or by calling 311.

✔️ Providing real-time walking directions to nearby cooling centers on thousands of LinkNYC kiosks.

✔️ Deploying 21 COOL vans to bring medical care, water, sunscreen, and transportation directly to our most vulnerable neighbors and check on older adults in their homes.

✔️Expanding outdoor cooling stations with water, misting fans, and cooling towels for outdoor workers including street vendors, deliveristas, and day laborers.

✔️ Contacting more than 75,000 businesses to encourage heat illness plans and remind workers that they can use Protected Time Off for heat-related health issues.

✔️ Extending hours at Olympic- and intermediate-sized outdoor pools until 8:30 p.m. 

✔️Connecting neighbors with outdoor cool options like spray showers at on.nyc.gov/CoolItNYC.

✔️ Distributing spray caps from local firehouses to adults 18 and over to safely turn fire hydrants into sprinklers.

funny how that works
@omgsidewalks
Honestly, i don't understand this economy when nursing homes are so expensive they bankrupt our grandparents but nursing home aides need to use food banks.
daycare is so expensive it eats up one parent's entire paycheck and yet daycare providers only make $10/hr and need second jobs.
college costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and puts students into debt for life and yet we have thousands of professors living in their cars.
everything we need is astronomically expensive and yet almost none of the money we pay is going towards the people actually doing the work and providing the services.

Met the loveliest Scotsman (not the man in the pic) today at Nantasket Beach; he walked right up to us on the sidewalk and asked for the nearest grocery. We had a lovely chat about World Cup; he and his friends are having the “top 10” time of their lives in Boston. #goscots #worldcup #bostonstadium

I recently received an interview request from a journalist about a topic I don't really know that much about. And I replied "I don't know very much about that topic, but here are some colleagues who do know a lot, try them." This is an option available to you as well!

If sportscasters continue to use the phrase “load management” for basketball players I will spit nickels. Hold on a sec, I’m just realizing load management is a data-driven system to enhance sports bettors’ experience. In my opinion.
