Heartbreaking. Smells unfair for sure. Glad the Discovery program exists, but exceptions to the school poverty rule need to be made. And why isn’t the math portion of the SHSAT offered in other languages? Hmmm…
Few English learners get into NYC’s specialized high schools. This student came achingly close.

Never been this glad for a rain forecast 🥹☔️🩶
Wednesday's Weather Rating: 7/10
IT WILL RAIN IN NYC TONIGHT!! A pleasant start, with highs in the upper 50s and partly cloudy skies. Increasing clouds and showers expected tonight, at long last. The vibes are alright!!

It feels fun/lonely/exciting to be starting fresh on a new platform with not-a-lot of contacts. Sorta like the early aughts. Hop on over, Bluesky’s fine!! ☁️🩵
