Elon’s son is named “X”? It must be in honor of Lois Gould’s classic tale, “X: A Fabulous Child’s Story.” You really can’t get more gender-inclusive than that! 😂🥳 waylandbrown.wordpress.com/wp-content/u...

I’m disgusted by NYU Langone (where I receive some medical care) caving to an EO that has highly questionable legal status — without even a fight — and worst of all damaging so many lives in the process 😫😭 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/n...

Due to their capitulation to anti-Diversity/Equity/Inclusion "proclamations," I will no longer shop at Whole Foods. Today I called Fairway Market at 74th Street, and was assured that they will continue to uphold DEI. So that is where I'll shop (along with Costco and FreshDirect)!

My first week on Blue Sky. (Left FB a week ago; never on IG or Twitter.) Heartfelt “thank yous” to all those I’ve found here offering insightful analysis, challenges, compassion, empathy, & gritty determination. I’m very grateful to be among so many like-minded folks in these rough times. 💜🙏🏼💜
