Hi everyone! Please delete if not allowed! Thank you so much for reading and contributing if you can!!

I am a teacher who teaches at John F. Kennedy Junior school, a local Queens high school that services students with disabilities ages 14 through 22. My students are all non verbal older children with severe epilepsy or autism. All of my students are children of immigrant families whose parents work several jobs. As you know, special education is under attack in this country. We are having a huge spring fair next month! Each class is hosting a booth in our annual spring fair and my class is selling plants! All of our proceeds are going directly to the school, to students who can’t afford materials or students who can’t afford prom or graduation or trips, or for services to support our families. We are VERY limited in funding at the moment, so we don’t have the resources to buy sufficient amount of soil, pots or cuttings for the students and I to “build” the plants from the cuttings we have. I have created an Amazon wishlist full of soil and perlite and other materials that my class needs in hopes that members of the community can contribute. If you’d be so kind as to share this Amazon wish list or to purchase a bag of soil or perlite. It will be sent directly to the John F Kennedy jr school. Alternatively, you can send some to the John F Kennedy school directly using my name!

Please mark your calendars for the fair itself, it is a massive event where we sell a ton of stuff and have lovely games and it’s just a wonderful thing to do for the day. This year is the 50th anniversary fair so it’s gonna be even bigger and better. The event is on May 14 and 15!!

My dog was attacked by three dogs that escaped from their yard during his walk on leash. The attack was brutal, and what shocked me most wasn't just what happened—it was that NYC treats it as "property damage" because the victim wasn't human. That feels backwards.

I'm starting a petition asking NYC to classify dog-on-dog attacks more seriously. Right now, dogs that attack other dogs can't even be labeled as dangerous under city law. Meanwhile, similar incidents keep happening, and there's little stopping it from escalating to people.

We're asking for concrete changes: official classification of aggressive dogs, mandatory behavioral evaluations, muzzling requirements in public, and regulations keeping these dogs from being left unsupervised outside. These aren't extreme—they're preventative.

Anyone else had something like this happen to their pet? Or seen attacks in your neighborhood that felt like a warning sign no one was taking seriously? If this matters to you too, consider signing and sharing the petition, and adding a comment of your experience.

My mom used to work as a housekeeper for a family, and they were paying around $4,500 in rent 😳

This was at jmart basement food hall. I was googling the whole time. "They eat things like pig ears in a spicy soup" like Chinese are animals 😂

I followed with my eyes and they ate nothing 😂

Maybe they went to McDonald's

Earlier this week I had such a great time answering some really well thought out questions during my AMA! Thanks again!

But today's the BIG day! Holding a Town Hall in Flushing so I can hear directly from the community, and let you all know exactly what I'm about. Come on by, have some dumplings, and let's talk about how we can make Queens better for all of us working people.

Please be sure to arrive early as seating, space and dumplings are limited to first come first serve! Doors will open at 2PM, so I suggest joining the queue to enter before.

See you there!
