The students at this Title 1 Bkln high school (who I’ve been working with for 7 years) are brilliant writers—but they really need new computers. We’ve raised 13K and have 7K more to go. If you’re able to help, pls consider donating here: donorschoose.org/project/lap… And thank you!

Thanks ⁦@nytimes⁩ for telling us what our Dr never did. No mention of risks even after 7 yrs on the drug. Parents, you have to read all the whole warning label on everything prescribed for your kids…even from Drs you trust. nytimes.com/2024/01/09/healt…

If you're wondering what's happening with India today, begin with this essay by the brilliant Maya Jasanoff. A comprehensive, balanced assessment of the sad state of India under Modi. nytimes.com/2023/06/22/opini…

My 79 yr old mom reports from her vacation that she was mugged this morning in Athens and fought the guy off. I tell my dad and he’s like, oh yeah she did that on our honeymoon in Kinshasa in 1972 when someone tried to steal our borrowed camera #dontmesswithgrandma
