New Yorkers agree on what needs to be done: Plastic pollution and its negative environmental and health impacts are so blatant every time we buy food & beverages, order things via mail, try to lead our everyday lives. ⁦Sen. Stewart-Cousins⁩, please act! beyondplastics.org/press-releases…

In which an elected official does not know the difference between constituents speaking their minds after years of industry-led delays on #climateaction and 'bullying.' Who does she think she works for?!?

“You can really tell that a man built this tech,” the Daily Show host Desi Lydic joked last week. “She’s like, ‘I have all the information in the world, but I don’t know anything.” ⁦A joke or the stone cold truth? UltraViolet is not paying for this⁩ theguardian.com/technology/art…

Oh the irony of the Biden Victory Fund using a photo of young climate activists to rally the troops when he STILL has not bothered to declare a #climateemergency and peaceful activists are being viciously repressed by the State…his State.

Enlightened leadership admits when they've been ignoring the Biggest Problem at Hand for both their collections and society at large...and does something to fix it. baltimoresun.com/2024/05/16/bma…

New York Times was This Years Old when it discovered lowriders (which is very amusing for this CA girl.) nytimes.com/2024/05/19/nyr…

Penny-farthing polo looks really fun.

It's Sunday and New Yorkers want to know: Mayor Eric Adams - why is the library closed???
