Deep inner suffering inevitably arises when the human person is reduced to performance, consumption, or a statistical datum. Many young people today live under the yoke of expectations to perform, immersed in an exasperated competitiveness that generates anxiety, fear of not measuring up, and disorientation.
We ask city agencies to do so much, with such difficult constraints. To have the chance to structurally change some of those constraints to allow city workers to do what they need to do is a total dream!

NEW: High school student who was called "hot" by a school board member shreds the school board for failing to protect her.
"You're all cowards," she said.
High schooler Hannah Campbell ripped the Washington County, Tennessee, board after board member Keith Ervin told her, "God, you’re hot, you know that?" last month.
Despite the incident, Ervin was not fired. He claimed that he called her "hot" because she was asking "smart questions."
"You know, I’m old school. I’m an old farm boy. And I didn’t mean nothing by anything. I just was proud of her," he previously said.
What a story! A janitor at a Yale University teaching hospital earned a college degree while working full time, then went to med school and is now returning to the same hospital as a resident in anesthesiology! https://t.co/STrVfb4q9l Mentors matter so much!
I just want to give a shoutout to Ahmed Tigani, the commissioner of DOB. This man was personally workshopping with tenants during the day and then answering questions from the public on his personal Instagram at like 8pm on a Friday.
What an amazing choice @NYCMayor
Ridic text to footnote ratio. At this point, just put it in the body. We need to organize to get this stuff under control. Print media is under attack and we cannot afford such intrusions on comfort.
i think NYC would really benefit from having a giant mythical bird that lived here. maybe roosting on the empire state building. or maybe one in each borough. something along those lines. pokemon
One of my passions is 2000s-era informational websites that are still around. The layout, the graphics. Everything I know about art, history and culture has its roots in scrolling sites like this on a random Sunday morning, eating clementines.
