On the way to my wedding, my mom—an ER nurse with 35+ years of experience—was the first on the scene of a crash. In her dress and gloves, she held a woman’s airway open, directing EMS and officers with steady hands. Witnesses called her “the woman in the pretty dress saving a life.” Hours later, she walked me down the aisle, blood-free but glowing with courage. My hero didn’t just raise me—she saved lives that day. 💖👩⚕️

@aliciaandrz I’m a newly retired teacher. When I first started teaching we didn’t have these drills. I don’t remember when they started exactly, but I can still remember that day, sitting on the floor in the dark with my 6th graders and crying bc I couldn’t believe this was our reality.
English
my kid did an active shooter drill at school & her beloved gym teacher showed them the places to hide & told them, “I’ll do everything I can to keep you safe.” when she told me about it she paused & said, “mommy, who will keep Coach Patrick safe?”
& my heart broke—for all of us.

@aliciaandrz What a wonderful partner! I’m glad you have that support! 💖

I’ve been paralyzed when it comes to work lately & my book proofs were due back Friday. that evening I told my copy-editor husband I was going to miss the deadline & he went & got his computer & sat with me making corrections until it was done.
I’ve definitely got a partner.

@aliciaandrz I try to go for a walk every day. I tell myself that I just have to go around the block and I can come home. Inevitably, the walk is a lot longer but that little trick gets me out the door!
English
the way I get myself to go to exercise classes is I give myself permission to half ass it, just lie on the floor if I want. getting in the door counts.
then, of course, I’m too embarrassed to just lie on the floor so I do it. begrudgingly.

those of you who’ve followed me for a while know I got 2 years of sobriety then relapsed during a major depressive episode. I thought I wouldn’t be alive much longer, so it didn’t matter.
I’ve been struggling ever since but I’m proud to say today is two weeks sober. we carry on.

@limpbroozkit This is amazing! Thank you for sharing sharing how this works. I’m so glad you have this technology.

@Puppieslover Omg! I live on the UES (obviously under a rock). I’ve never heard of Gus! What street is this, please!

@fourteenkitties @AlecMacGillis @BaltimoreBanner That was my first thought too! I used to read that book to my classes. I love Maniac Magee.

@AlecMacGillis @BaltimoreBanner Bro is a real-life Maniac Magee

Incredible @BaltimoreBanner story about a 9-year-old boy, Tristan King, who has been living out on his own, eluding authorities, since September, through the harsh winter. The government even sent armed US marshals looking for him.

I just got tipped off that anarchist groups are on the way to Gracie Mansion to attack @JakeLang .
Looks like round two .

I remember MTG and others screaming constantly during Biden’s SOTU and they were not removed.
James Morel@Mr1derful28
Being removed from a state of the union for exercising your right of free speech while the crowd cheers and chants, “U.S.A.” over you being removed is as dystopian as it gets.

When we were kids, blizzards meant Grandpa and Dad dumping jars of change on the table.
We’d line the pennies up by year and build a century out of copper.
Today I told Harry about it this morning
He was locked in for hours and almost filled 100 years.
Now it’s our mission to hunt down the missing dates and get this framed for his room ❄️🪙

@DOEChancellor @NYCSchools How do students not have devices in February?!? Remote Learning is the choice for emergencies (weather and other). All students should have had devices since September!
English
Remote learning remains an important tool and can be effective as we saw with last month’s storm, however despite our best efforts to distribute devices throughout the weekend, we couldn't be 100% certain that every student had access to the devices they need for remote learning.
English
Our schools are more than just educational institutions.
They’re critical to the stability, health, and wellness of nearly 900,000 young New Yorkers.

I've faced more peer pressure to eat protein as an adult than I did to take drugs in my teens.

My wish for survivors is that you all feel safe, wherever you are right now. 🙏

@mcharlesworth7 I’m confused, are you agreeing he had a phone in one hand and his other hand raised or are you saying he should have had both hands up?

NYT video analysis is pretty definitive. He was out of the path of the vehicle when he fired, the tires were clearly turned to the right, and the President and others are relying on the poorest quality clip to argue he was struck by the vehicle. He wasn’t.
