I got really, really into knitting socks last year and these are two of my favorite pairs to wear. The Little Black Socks (left) and The Daily Socks (right), both patterns by Summer Lee. the fit is great and the yarns are two of the most durable I’ve tried. 🧶 #showmeyourknits

New York's (de)congestion pricing, which charges $9 to drive into Manhattan below 60 St, has reduced traffic, increased ridership, reduced subway crime, and is raising funds to fix the decaying transit system. Rare for a public policy to have this many benefits!

Not surprised that it's community colleges that are fighting back. Community colleges serve the greatest number of people facing systemic barriers. A large percentage of community college students are the first in their family to attend college.
