Wow! Of the 10 safest counties nationally (in terms of traffic fatalities), three of them are our #nyc boroughs. Kudos to #Bronx #manhattan and #brooklyn #newyorkcity #drivesafe.

This timid dinosaur (night heron) was trying to cross the path to the pond but didn't want to have to make small talk, so he kept pretending to do something behind this bench. #VanCortlandtPark #Bronx #Birds

I can say that in my entire childhood growing up in the #Bronx this never happened. Guess the city is going to the birds

I asked #ChatGPT to write a limerick about my home borough.

Next I'm gonna ask it to find me one person in the #Bronx who would rhyme 'hot' with 'bought' or 'caught'

In the Bronx, where the streets are all hot,
The bodegas sell snacks that are bought,
With a slice of pizza,
You'll feel like a sizzler,
And the Bronx cheer is what you'll get caught.

The passing of Irene Cara at 63 reminds me that we lose Black and Latine folks too soon in the US. Cara was from the Bronx. FAME taught me about New York culture as a kid growing up in California (along with Sesame Street), and it was one of the few shows that featured non-white people like me.

Peace upon Cara’s soul. Remember her name.
