BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Original landscape oil painting by Tisha Mark, "Homeland No. 2602" oil on Ampersand Gessobord, 6"x6" (2026). A peaceful atmospheric landscape painting of lush green gentle slopes with a loosely painted tree in the foreground on the left, underneath a light blue sky with textured breezy white cloud formations.

This Great Blue Heron has chosen to winter in Central Park. I see it regularly, standing stoically on the ice--but never fishing. Hoping it is going to make it until the ice thaws! πŸ’™πŸ©Άβ€οΈ #Herons #CentralPark #birding

Felt like the coldest morning yet in this epic deep freeze, as you can see by how floofy this beautiful Northern Cardinal is! It's amazing they can survive this bitter weather. πŸ€Žβ„οΈβ€οΈ #Cardinal #CentralPark #birding

A vaporous spirit floats up out of a deck of playing cards that’s also a source of water. The spirit has its hands out in supplication/invitational display. It wears a steel helmet with deer antlers coming out the sides.

I ventured out to Central Park early this morning during the Blizzard of '26. It was beautiful and eerily quiet, and I ran into a couple of avian buddies, including this Northern Cardinal, all puffed up to keep warm! ❄️❄️❄️ #Cardinal #CentralPark #birdcpp

In addition to calling 311, however, Strang also suggested several questions to pose to an unsheltered person you may know from your neighborhood:
β€’ Are you staying warm?
β€’ Can I pick you up some hand warmers or blankets?
β€’ Have you had enough to eat?
β€’ What's your plan for tonight if it gets colder?
"This is absolutely about life and limb," Nugent added. "And people will freeze in the street, and we can help with that."

it’s now deadly cold in new york, and will remain that ways for days. we have a very good guide on how the city responds to unsheltered people, and how to help them, when winter gets bitter

Wrote a lot this year, most of which I’ve scrapped but both deepened my sense of the project and characters and reactivated a love of writing itself, as a practice with/for myself. Solid writing year.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.
