EL-SAYED: And to all the parents who struggled to explain to their kids why the president openly mocks someone for their name or how they pray, let them know tomorrow that the bad guys lost.
Oh what a beautiful morning! So happy that racism and hate did not prevail. First Muslim senator Abdul Al-Sayed, first Black woman governor Keisha Lance Bottoms, first Native American governor Deb Haaland 💙💙💙
All the kids had remote school today for Election Day and I learned they use Kiddle search engine for research. It’s powered by Google, so might also no longer work. Hopefully all our DOE devices will have alternative search engines installed, if that’s how Google wants to play.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 3d agoGoogle is trying to use its monopoly power to force AI into our public schools. No corporation should have the power to dictate how we teach our children. Our public schools exist to serve students, not to grow the profit margins of Big Tech.
I couldn’t decide between two photos for this week’s challenge. Food photos always spark joy for me. #ArchForma #foodphotography #OTTColourTexture

Now that Halloween is over, we can return to our regularly scheduled programming: jumping out of our skin and hiding whenever someone knocks on the door or rings the doorbell.
Halloween won’t be on Saturday again for 11 years! (2037) I didn’t believe it when I heard it at first, but apparently 3 leap years between now and then will do that. So party it up, fellow revelers! 🎃👻🧙🏻
My daughter’s 4th grade teachers dressed up as characters from “Saved by the Bell.” All us parents immediately recognized Lisa and Slater. The teachers told us they’d never seen the show because it was BEFORE THEIR TIME.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · last wk.New Yorkers deserve sunlight on their sidewalks, visibility on their storefronts, and a walk to work that doesn’t include ducking. Since January, we’ve had over 1,400 construction sheds removed — 17% of the city’s total, and twice as many as 2025.
Always one for a good prompt but I couldn’t figure out what #ArchForma was as I scrolled through my #photography feed. #LinesLinesLines
This is one of the reasons I abandoned meta. At least Bluesky does better.

Pickles the seal gave @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social a kiss! Which is more adorable, the seal or our genuine, wonderful mayor?
Just when you think, “Well at least ai can’t replace my job as a mom.” That poor child is gonna need so much therapy.

Ah, NYC radiator season is upon us. When the steam pipes start blasting heat and it makes absolutely no difference how tightly you close them. The apartment is a sauna. Our kid woke us up at 2:30 am because he was so hot he’d had a nightmare that he was trapped in a burning building. 🥵
Fall foliage along the Palisade Parkway. My poor colorblind kid can’t see the autumn colors, just all looks the same to him!
I hear the hole in the ozone layer has improved. Remember when that was the scariest climate crisis we were facing?

Hope scrolling this trending topic this morning. 🥰 Negative bias is real, human (and necessary for survival!), have to actively fight it by looking for the good.
If you encounter ICE, here's what every New Yorker should know.

Give me 4 versions of you: I have very little main character energy, so I couldn’t find many photos of ME. But these are all from different special times.
