If you live in NYC and you are interested in organizing with others around our public libraries, you are invited to join our work @nycplan.org. We have a chance to increase and stabilize funding for our public libraries and you can help make that happen. actionnetwork.org/letters/city...

Feeling inspired to take action this morning? Join us in calling our City Council members and demand .5% of the budget be committed to fund our libraries! Already called? Tell us how it went: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Somehow I will muster the energy to call randos for Zohran tomorrow night and then canvass 2x on Tuesday. How? IDK let's find out

Oh my fucken god IF I WANT TO MAKE A LIST I ALREADY KNOW WHAT MY LIST IS I DONT NEED HELP WRITING MY LIST Go figure out how to fix global food distribution or something (no wait sorry your AI is too stupid and billionaires are blocking us from actual solutions)

guys please sign up to canvass www.zohranfornyc.com/gotv

Ran into Zohran canvassers on the way to vote and showed them my Hot Girls for Zohran shirt 🥰

January is gonna be fun! Love a remote conference 💞

Another reflection I have on the job hunt: Looking at the numbers of responses to applications, the rates look pretty low, about 5-10%. That is concerning, because that is the rate you expect from sending out a survey to a randomized population. Not a targeted one where you craft and personalize it.

Cool thoughtsssss~

Still parsing all the things that went so well about the tenth @gdocexpo.com. Probably will be for a long time. It was especially meaningful to receive a token of appreciation from the home that I love. Grateful for everyone who had helped make 2025 the best version of the Expo yet. 🙏🏾💖

On this beautiful Saturday in Brooklyn, it was honor to receive the endorsement of Congresswoman Yvette Clarke (@voteyvette.bsky.social). "Unlike his opponents, I have no doubt that Assemblyman Mamdani will never surrender this city...for the sake of his own self-preservation."
