The R Train

The air is hot, dry and Lysol thick,But nobody takes off their coat.train cars wobble, screech and lurch,their floors pockmarked.Dreams of a new landhardened into wads of blackened gum.A man sleeps,his head bobbing against a metal polewhile a woman draws staccato lines into her…

The R Train

The air is hot, dry and Lysol thick,But nobody takes off their coat.train cars wobble, screech and lurch,their floors pockmarked.Dreams of a new landhardened into wads of blackened gum.A man sleeps,his head bobbing against a metal polewhile a woman draws staccato lines into her expressionless brow.Faces down,Phones whispering, “This is for all you NYC badasses!”

Bride and groom embrace beside NY Public library fountain under a large sign: “Books Unite Bans Divide”

I’d recommend the i4. EV’s loose a good amount of value over the first couple years because battery technology keeps improving, so you can buy a 2023 BMW i4 for less than you’d pay for a 2023 Rav4 hybrid Prime.

The message is: crowd large.

Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift.

Events like this puncture that delusion.

You can stop asking where the mass opposition is. It's everywhere.

People poured out to protest not only what Trump has done—and what they fear he will do next.

How much additional time and effort does an ADHD student have to devote to proofing their work to avoid being mislabeled as careless, (which is just another type of lazy?)

Lydia Steinauer @lsteinauer.bsky.social · Mar 20

This term implies an assumption that the student made the mistakes specifically because they were being “careless,” which for ADHD students, is often untrue.

How often does the description “makes careless mistakes” define a student, even when their work is otherwise thoughtful and insightful?

Your point is very valid. I also believe that Donald and Elon both pose a significant threat to our democratic system. There is no good option for Dems when it comes to this spending bill. I also see the strategy behind approving it. Let the people turn on king Donald for his economic mess.

Lydia Steinauer @lsteinauer.bsky.social · Mar 14

Dems have been faced with a no-win choice. Blocking the spending bill would enable Donald to blame all negative economic fallout from his actions onto the Dems. So would passing the bill erode support for Donald more quickly? Or would it further risk our democracy? Both options pose great risk.

Been wondering about that vey same question... Could a Zero Withholding Movement work?

Lydia Steinauer @lsteinauer.bsky.social · Feb 7

Leave it to our artists and creators to remind us that we WILL keep moving towards a more equitable society, one which embraces the beauty and uniqueness of our diversity.

Don’t forget to take breaks. Find an old album you haven’t heard for so long, you forgot how awesome it is. Then listen to it loud while you dance or go for a walk. Let it refill your soul and help you remember your joy.

My rediscovery for the day was The Lion and The Cobra by Sinéad O’Conner.

FB is how I keep up with old friends, former colleagues, and family in Europe. It’s been a lot easier avoiding X.

@sophiabollag.bsky.social For those of us who live in the Richmond/El Sobrante hills, your 1/18 article about fire risks in Orinda/Moraga prompts a timely discussion.
Shouldn’t the state be providing additional fire-hardening funding to nearby communities who don’t otherwise have the resources?

Why read a sad book if it’s not even remotely funny? Pain needs humor to be tolerable.

A wonderful example of universal accessibility.
