I have not lived in NYC since 2007 but it still feels like home. Here’s to solidarity among my fellow New Yorkers as they choose a real leader to make the city more livable and affordable!

Whiskey looks good even without Lightroom edits. But this would be her professional headshot.

So, UVA got NO Guarantee that Trump won’t come back in six months with more unwarranted threats and accusations. This is shameful and self-destructive. You can bet the DoJ will be scouring our syllabi for Black writers.

What have I done wrong? So many great scholars and teachers made the list but apparently I’m not worthy.

There are about 30 people on my flight to DCA who are sitting on the floor at ATL because @deltaairways.bsky.social @deltaairsupport.bsky.social won’t let us sit in this bank of empty seats. No explanation. Just disrespect for customers.

Does it put the NFL on the spot? Our inability to treat mental health problems? The ease with which people get firearms? The current mayor who was a cop?

Of course not.
Blame the Indian guy who is not mayor.
