36 years ago today, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law. This came after decades of advocacy from the Disability Rights movement and changed our country and our City for the better. More than 1 million New Yorkers live with disabilities. Our City government doesn’t work for anyone if it doesn’t work for everyone. From accessible bus stops to investments in special education, we’re building a City where every New Yorker can truly thrive.
From Washington Heights to the Lower East Side, Nuyoricans have defined this city for generations.
Here's to celebrating their contributions, their history and the future of our city.
This country is fucked. There is no recovery even if that embarrassment of a president dies in office. I will be dead long before a return to normalcy if that even happens.
"Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride."
-Anthony Bourdain
Can we please be done with the "All thanks to my lord and savior . . . "
YOU put that work in.
Take credit and thank your family, coaches, team mates, and doctors.
Enough of the virtue signaling.
@Pennsyltuckyan It's ok for them to credit God or a higher power for their success. There's an outside force guiding them as well. Faith can be just as strong as their strength and grit it took them to get there. A lot of these guys have heard they'd never be anything their entire lives.
