Jennifer L. Pozner

Thanks you! I'll try to get there.

A woman on an airplane with dark red hair is wearing a blue New York Jews For Zohran tee shirt. She has a travel pillow around her neck.

Wearing my @jfrejnyc.bsky.social NY Jews for Zohran tee on ✈️ to Seattle...next to businessman watching Dick Cheney's funeral, then Squawk Box (a financial news w/stock ticker).

I wonder if (not, wait: hope) he thinks I'm trolling him?

So tempted to ask if this flight is him fleeing NYC...

Thanks! Sounds great. (Do you know if any of these places seat outdoors? It's a constant battle to try to stay Covid safe in the colder months -- restaurants sometimes will allow me to put one table outside. Sometimes not.)

I probably don't need pizza while I'm out here (as a native Brooklynite, I have Big Feelings About Pizza), but thanks for the rest of these. I'll check them out.

I'm surprised to see a hotel restaurant getting a nod. I'm used to hotel food being mediocre -- not the case here?

As a NYer, a former Village Voice writer who had my first Media Watch column in the much-missed feminist newspaper, Sojourner:

1) yes;

2) I really, REALLY want an old red Voice newspaper box. Been hunting for years. Not a repro--a real one that proudly weathered snow and rats on the street.

Oh, good, now the robots can talk to each other. And no one has to ever have an actual conversation with their friends, family, or coworkers ever again.

Ha! Reminds me of when I ran media trainings and told activists to imagine that NYT, WaPo, or local paper reported on their cause/work in ideal way -- then, write the headline & lede of that story.

1st group wrote fantasy text as if living in utopia.

I had to clarify: IRL, actual news coverage!

I mean, if cats of Bsky had ceased being cute I'd have major questions.

All hail fellow book nerds!

I'm ✈️ now, was planning to text you tonight! I'd love to see you again this trip. Maybe another seafood dinner? My weekends are spoken for w/my nieces, but I don't leave until Dec 8 so I'll have some weekdays free. (Haven't finalized much yet.)

Staying in a free empty house this time= longer visit.

The Seattle Space Needle through trees and clouds just before dusk. I snapped this picture this time last year.

Seattle-area folks, food recs? Fave restaurants, esp w/outdoor dining or delivery?

Visiting fam in Renton; can cab to Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, etc

Food I love:
1. Salmon & scallops
2. Freshest sashimi+sushi
3. French
4. Pho
6. Freshest veggies+salads
7. Thai, Italian, American, crepes, brunch

The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, an emblem of fascism and white supremacy inextricably linked to the murder of millions of Jews and that more than 400,000 U.S. troops died fighting against in World War II, as a hate symbol, according to a new policy that takes effect next month.

Now that’s a lede.

Hi #Skyfriends! Been ages since I was on here regularly -- but I think I'm ready to come back. I've missed chatting about media, politics, po culture, activism, and comedy w/you.

What's changed on Bsky since Feb? (I✌️out when endless fascism+RFK+Elon+🧊 gave me chronic migraines+nausea. I'm ok now.)

2/2 PS: I finished writing & describing the visuals for the book in early 2024, or I'd have used that chryon in a panel in the framing or disinformation chapters (sneak peek 👇).

Back end process of graphic novels is lengthy, but stay tuned for pre-order links from @23rdstbooks.bsky.social!

Btw, tools in "It's Not You, It's Media," my forthcoming ML graphic novel:

*Identifying target audiences

*Understanding how stories are framed

*Legit news source or propaganda?

*Arming yourself against disinformation and conspiracy

Excellent!! Please feel free to tell her that I'm happy to brainstorm with her even before the graphic novel comes out if she needs support teaching media literacy.

LOVE to hear it! What grades does she teach? This is aimed at adults, w/strong potential for YA/young adult readers.

I'd love to get the book in high school classrooms. (Maaaaybe precocious younger teens?) That's why--even as a native NYer--I limited profanity except for a few impt media quotes.

I'll try to remember! But it's going to be a while before the link is available. (Never fear, I'll be plastering it everywhere once it's ready.)

I really hope it can be useful to as many people as possible. I truly believe we wouldn't be enduring fascism if we were a media literate nation.

Woman in a No Means no Cuomo t and a young man with hair in braids who’s holding up a Zohran flyer

💖story from @jennpozner.bsky.social that shows the value of volunteering for Zohran today. She met a young man who was vaguely aware of the election but didn’t plan to vote. His mom runs a food bank & he spoke re the value of serving the community. They talked for 15 minutes! He’s voting Zohran!

Again for the night owls: HEY NYC, Do you like to sing? Want to elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social? Get in touch ASAP!

Seeking a few more folks to sing this 👇funny anti-Cuomo/pro-Zohran parody song during a poll site visibility shift in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn.

DM for lyrics/time/place!

SEEKING SINGERS! Pls share:

Me & @jfrejnyc.bsky.social need singers for 👇 parody song for election day poll site visibility, 3-7/8ish-pm, Brooklyn!

***We need a "Cuomo" soloist--is that you?

Let me know ASAP
DM: lyrics+location

100% agree w this.

Have lived in Calif (20+ yrs), Texas (4+ yrs), Wash state (2+ yrs), DC (long time) MA and MS and GA and outside US (long time). Not NYC.

No one outside NYC spends ten seconds caring who the city elects as its mayor.

But you can recognize political talent, which ZM surely has.

Cuomo's mannerisms are...what, groping? Sneering? General barely contained fury, racism, and misogyny? 😂

EXCELLENT! I took some extra lit from my canvas today as well. Do you think you want to do the Cuomo solos for a while?

This is fabulous, funny, and factual. I love this city and the smart, sarcastic souls who make it what it is

❤️❤️❤️ (Was just about to text you! Any interest in singing this on election day at poll site visibility in Ditmas Park 3-9pm? I'm putting out feelers -- so far we have a couple folks able to do it, but we need a few more to round out the chorus -- and we need somebody to do the Cuomo solos!)
