The victory is a watershed moment for one of the largest food cooperatives in the country—around 17,000 members total—especially given the fact that this isn't the first time its members have considered the question of an Israeli goods boycott.

The ticket raffle website failed today and now my Soccer Kid is ready to sue Mamdani.

It’s halftime why are there fireworks in my neighborhood this is the Knicks.

HR 2616, a national "Don't Say Trans" bill, has passed the House. Here's what it is, what it means, and what you should do right now to help kill the bill intended to bully children and erase trans people from public schools. bookriot.com/hr-2616-dont...

Workplace drama usually doesn’t peak til June, but here we are in May and I *really* hope it has peaked, because goddamn.

The rent-a-cops have been at my bus stop every damn day for weeks. Would like to see how much the city is paying them vs. fare evasion.

Wait does Gen Alpha not call it a stoop anymore? My Gen Z coworker and I are losing our minds over this.

The general energy of the country as far-right extremists targeted libraries & migrant shelters & trans people under Biden, unchecked. Why do people think crises & attacks on civil liberties don’t exist when a democrat is in office? Could that be why those under the boot don’t vote?

Welp. I did it already. School nurse said, “. . . and happy Mother’s Day to you.” I replied, “You, too!” I have no idea if this person is a mom, has a mom, and more, and now I will spend all weekend worrying that I sent someone into a grief spiral.

For teacher appreciation a parent drew every single staff member in Diary of a Wimpy Kid Style!

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

If I have to see this, so do you.

Stuttering (May 4th)

The middle schoolers are vaping on the bus. 😩

Abolish ICE. Fire Tisch. That’s the *minimum* demand.

Can we get an update on Rudy I just want to know how weird this day is going to become. Like am I going to see fellow educators crying over this today?

Florida hospital . . . let me just say I know from experience how that is turning out.

It remains very weird to me that in a world of actually useful technology -- photovoltaic power generation, mRNA vaccines, maglev trains, smart phones, etc -- the tech sector has gone so all-in on bullshit generators and plagiarism machines.

I have so many opinions about non–native New Yorkers, but I won’t share them because non–native New Yorkers are so incredibly insecure about being non–native New Yorkers.

Just yelled at the middle schoolers on the bus for calling each other gay.

OMG the MTA rent-a-cops have stopped the select bus to check fairs again. It’s not even 7:00 AM and it’s May Day. 😡

Happy May Day!

No, I will not be celebrating “Principals’ Day” today, for it is MAY DAY.

Each sentence makes me want to die a little bit more.

I just love that Brits and Argentines are arguing in the comments of some random “what’s is like to live there” Reddit forums.

Second time this week, I’ve had the MTA rent-a-cops checking that people have paid their fares on the buses that should be free. 😡

Brooklyn Runs on Unkin’/Uncin’

So then why partner with OpenAI? We are at the point where my kids’ school merch was designed by AI. So many kids and parents who would have designed a logo for free but no—let AI do it.

Everyone immediately assuming that an attempt on the President is staged is probably not a sign of a healthy democracy.

oh do news reporters know what it's like to be a public school teacher now

Once again:

Nevermind—I’ll hold it—and never return.

*mutes “Mets”*

Nothing like witnessing a parent abuse their 2-year-old for not sitting still to really get the blood flowing in the morning. 😡

Very awkward to celebrate library workers when you're cutting public library budgets so I guess we'll just pretend that #NationalLibraryWeek isn't happening.

Damn I love my city.

*The fact that it’s Friday and not a single team signed Tasha Cloud is really pissing me off.

Oh my god why have we not resigned Tasha Cloud??? Zohran???? Can we make this a DSA campaign priority????? SHE WORE A YANKEE JACKET!!!

Oh hell no.

Say "weak on crime" again. I dare you.

$6.4 billion dollar budget yet they can’t figure out how to safely do whatever the hell this was. #NYPD

JD Vance is truly the Urkel of international relations.

I feel like this is healing a tiny bit of my Challenger trauma

Once upon a time a coworker saw my laptop background and asked if the man on it was my husband. Me: “No, that’s Carl Sagan.”

I wish Carl Sagan were alive for this moment. 😭

NARRATOR: WE DID NOT IN FACT GET IT TOGETHER IN TIME

Sobbing. Just one of those moments I can feel proud of our species,

My tween fashionista told me my new haircut and pants were “slay” so I’m unstoppable.

I must confess: I love Brooklyn, but my first and forever love is Manhattan.
