Our local NYC hero Youman Wilder was just on MSNBC talking about how he caught ICE agents questioning his players, asking "where you from? where your parents from?" Youman instructed the kids to not answer them & told the feds to back off.

Salute Youman! Listen to the whole clip (full in thread)

I remember being the youngest on my edit team & learning an immense amount of insight and professionalism from my senior team members. 20 years later, I find myself learning a vast amount from my young coworkers. Both ends of the spectrum have been eye-opening, invigorating & a heck of a lot of fun!

"There is ZERO reason pets should be fed raw diets. Stop endangering pets because of wellness influencer disinformation."
H5N1 is a concern for many reasons—it is also the reason domestic cats are dying after being fed raw pet food and raw dairy.

This “idea” is an atrocity.

For ACTUAL information on H5N1, read some of my articles on the topic:

The death of a domestic cat from bird flu is a reminder: raw pet diets are not safe.

Yeah a doctor who has devoted his life to helping people live needs a pardon but a felon is the president and let violent insurrectionists out of prison. And no one in media has the cojones to cal a thing a thing
Dr. Fauci was preemptively pardoned in case you're wondering how public health is going to go for the next 4 years. If you protest voted (or didn't vote) over COVID, congratulations, you helped put a man in office who would prosecute a Doctor for trying to save our lives. Well done.

Also, what about when you read a book a decade ago but settle in to read it again and your mind is blown because life has prepped you to get it now? It’s like a long awaited gift #writing #writingcommunity

One of the best things about good art, books and film is that something created 5,10,20,50 years ago can hit you right at the moment you need it. My current is Stevie Nicks, don’t know why it took this long but wow #stevienicks #music #writingcommunity #writing
