Such is an amazing list of authors; shocking that they haven’t won one of the major prizes, but one will now.

It’s hard to go to? Wdym it’s hard to get to—just take the PATH to Newark Penn then transfer to NJ Transit then get on the air train. 🤷‍♀️

This U.S. Airport Was Just Ranked the Most Stressful in the World New Jersey's Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) ranked the world's most stressful airport, according to a study.

We’re #1! And honestly most people just can’t handle how we do things here. www.travelandleisure.com/most-stressf...

What do the colors represent?

All mail-ins so far though, no?

NYC used to send NJ its trash; now we get its garbage data and higher utility bills.

Wore what I thought was an Audrey Hepburn-esque black turtleneck today; an 8th grader called me Professor Snape. 🫶

I would like 1) not to grade/work/plan on weekends/vacations and miss important family and down time and 2) have health insurance for my family. Those desires are mutually incompatible. This is about universal health care.

America’s Children Are Unwell. Are Schools Part of the Problem?

This is a solid critique but fails to mention that much of the stress about college has come from defunding state schools, making college both a economic necessity and an impossibility, in an age of rising income inequality: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/m...

More Americans are getting their power shut off, as unpaid bills pile up Average electricity costs have risen 11 percent since January, more than three times the rate of inflation.

Food/vegetable/fish/animal migration first. Politics next.

I appreciate Sam Sifton getting daily food and vegetable references in the NYT morning briefing. Much better than random neoliberal opining of prior editor/writer.

The deadliest roads in America The number of pedestrians killed by vehicles has increased in the U.S., with road infrastructure and inadequate safety measures among key contributing factors.

Bad infrastucture and SUVs/light trucks account for increase in pedestrian deaths; vehicles disproportionately hit Black and Latino peds on multi lane city roads: www.washingtonpost.com/business/int...

Four times a year, end of marking period grading season always manages to bring to mind the last line of "A Good Man Is Hard to Find": It's no real pleasure in life.

I know two out-of-state college students coming back to vote because their mail-in requests were not received (and a third who never received her mail-in ballot and is distraught but can’t make it back). Their votes will be just before 8 pm and count. They care that much about this outcome.

So grateful and honored to have my story, “Wool,” nominated by @cincinnatireview.bsky.social review for Best of Net.

Third story of an NJ resident college student out of state not receiving/having processed mail in ballot. Three makes it a trend.

NAACP sues Virginia officials, accusing them of disenfranchising student voters The NAACP has sued Virginia state election officials, accusing them of disenfranchising students by rejecting voter registration forms from students that do not include details like dormitory names, room numbers and campus mailbox information.

GOP-led states are blocking college students from registering to vote with campus addresses.

In the context of broader attacks on vote-by-mail and early voting, these efforts will systematically disenfranchise young people across the US.

In NJ, my own son in college out of state and that of a colleague sent in mail-in ballot requests with plenty of time—and the request was never received. They are each able to take a few hours trip to vote in person. But I wonder about other stories of college aged voter disenfranchisement in NJ.

Air Pollution From Industrial Facilities Is Far Worse Than Estimated The Trump administration has put a stop to EPA rules that would have required more than 130 industrial facilities to install air monitors to measure pollution. Millions of people living near these pla...

More than 5 million people face an increased cancer risk because they live near a type of industrial plant that would have been subject to rules put forward by the Biden.

The Trump administration is rolling them back

I have a handful of “struggling” students who seem (for now 🤞) to be thriving in ELA class in part because we have fun together. I love the way they think; they make each other laugh, while talking about texts; there is space in our room for that laughter. Will AI give students that feeling?

My dad used to have a ford pickup in the 80s that was about the size of an average crossover today and same capacity as today’s pickups. There’s zero functionality conferred by the height yet it does add to mortality: www.nsc.org/getmedia/18f....

Bike ride through Jersey City turned harrowing. Light turns green, I go straight in left side protected lane. Pickup truck driver sees me, then turns left; I brake hard, wheel goes up, near miss by inches. No amount of infrastructure can help drivers who can’t see over windshield. Ban light trucks.
