"If you're using public transportation, if you're in the room with a lot of other people, if you're in a healthcare setting, it's really smart to wear a mask especially higher-quality masks. I was taking the subway yesterday, and I was wearing an N95 mask."

Shabbat Shalom to everyone who recognizes that the safety, freedom & thriving of Jews and Muslims are bound up together — in Israel & Palestine, across the five boroughs, and in many other beloved places.
Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayor—what could be more NYC than that?"

I'm never done shouting about what my mom's institutionalization took from her & from us (so here's my @teenvogue.com piece again).

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position.

You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Hey all, quick update on LAS.

I just did a video analyzing the Canon FD 24mm F2.8 (and comparing it to 24mm Olympus, Pentax, Contax, and Nikon lenses).

It's a good day to skip the giant streaming platforms that keeping blocking incredible political documentaries and watch the brilliantly made Union.

It's available to rent for the next two weeks - or to organize a community screening around unionthefilm.com.
