A #bike jumble in every U.S. city would be massive #ClimateInfluence. "She was off to buy a lock, she said, as she gazed lovingly at her blue bike, with its retro orange and yellow logo. 'This is my new commute,' she said. 'I’m so excited.'” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/n... Thx @dodai.bsky.social

My fave guide to Paris was written in 1953 by Ollie Stewart, my great-uncle, a WWII correspondent, + one of the many Black expats who chose Paris over USA's Jim Crow -- his little book for Black travelers is called PARIS HERE I COME 💘 www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/t...

This is lovely:

learning to write... is learning to think structurally, intentionally, deliberately it organizes how one arrives at conclusions

CBS published a story yesterday about this, but if you want to read @dodai.bsky.social ‘s original story from early January, it is a much better read.

He’s a Security Guard at the Met. Now His Work Is Showing There. Beautiful story by @dodai.bsky.social. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/08/n...

Mr. Khalil had an idea and a piece of wood — part of a stump — that he had found close to a park a few blocks away from his small storefront studio in Bayonne, N.J. Over the next six months, he plotted and created his sculpture. By @dodai.bsky.social

On this day of horror and impending chaos, a wonderful NYT story by Dodai Stewart of an immigrant from Egypt, now U.S. citizen, who found his dream job as a security guard at the Met Museum, and now has his sculpture featured in one of the its major exhibitions. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/08/n...

In 2023, Armia Khalil, a security guard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, saw a visitor wandering through a gallery, clearly looking for something specific. The encounter was brief — five minutes, maybe less — but it changed Khalil’s life… nyti.ms/3Wcevnr

I'd heard @dodai.bsky.social was working on this story, then found myself in the exhibit one day a few weeks ago while trying to get someplace else in the Met, so stopped to find the sculpture and was quite taken with it. I'm looking forward to reading the full story over my morning coffee.

I love this story by @dodai.bsky.social. Free link www.nytimes.com/2025/01/08/n...
