Varick Street is going pedestrian-only for a minute 👏👏👏 (The city is doing a trial, if you’re familiar with those)

“Cisgender” is not a slur. It is a term used used in scientific, legal, medical, and everyday contexts.
The attempt to make “cis” a slur is a blatant attempt to erase trans identities from a supposed “free speech absolutist.”
Trans people exist. Cis people exist.

Reminder that Biden created a $7500 EV tax credit, and did nothing to incentivize e-bikes.
It's clear that the real policy agenda is about preserving the car industry, it's not about reducing our transportation energy/carbon footprint.

This is one of the most interesting free school lunch papers - when districts implement universal free school lunch, it puts competitive pressure on grocery stores, resulting in lower food prices for *everyone* even if they don't directly benefit from school lunches
When schools offer free meals for everyone, local families reduce grocery spending. Large chains respond by dropping prices, amplifying benefits to the broader community, from @jessiehandbury and Sarah Moshary nber.org/papers/w29384

It doesn’t seem like smart political strategy to have people start repaying loans that were paused for the past 3yrs. Especially considering how high the cost of groceries, gas, and rent is, this is going to negatively impact 40+ million Americans. Good luck getting those votes.

The Trump indictment is shameful & disgraceful.
In over two centuries of our nation's history, no new president has ever launched the entire machinery of justice on a vendetta to persecute, attack, investigate, indict, & jail the former president.

Adirondack black #bears are clever creatures, making bear bags and hang sacks relatively ineffective against many High Peaks bears. Rent or purchase a proper canister from a local gear shop, and learn how to use it.
For other #ADK updates & notices: on.ny.gov/adkbackcountry
With the hiking and camping season well underway, we want to remind everyone that bear-resistant canisters are required in the Eastern/Central #Adirondack High Peaks Wilderness and are STRONGLY encouraged everywhere else.
