New Yorkers! We need your support so people who were adopted from outside of the United States can obtain NYS birth certificates reflecting their names. Listen to Lianne’s story here and tell your senators and assemblymembers to support A.1944/S.3765 https://t.co/l9Zyg9qkTr

Hey, @MuseumModernArt @whitneymuseum @metmuseum and @brooklynmuseum, my son is studying Basquiat in his art class and would like to see some of his work on this (soon-to-be) rainy Saturday. Do any of you have any on view right now? Thanks!

The wait is over. ❄️❄️ Central Park recorded the first measurable snowfall of the season this morning, with nearly half an inch as of 5:30 AM. This is latest first measurable snowfall for the season since record keeping began in 1869. #NYwx

After 5 long years, the court just approved my clients to adopt their son. It has been a long slog but I am so happy for them.

Update: I was deeply wrong about the shells/skins assessment. They were in their shells. I boiled them for 20 minutes per @Nigella_Lawson’s advice then realized my error when I tried to take the “skins” off. After shelling I roasted them for a bit. It’s a learning experience.

2 families at an #adoption conference today asked me how Dobbs would affect their ability to become parents. A gunman killed 5 people last night at a gay bar in Colorado that was planning a drag show today. This is what it is to be LGBTQIA in America in 2022.

In a disappointing opinion, a judge in the Northern Dist. of N.Y. held on Tuesday that NYS Office of Child and Family Services cannot enforce nondiscrimination regulations against an #adoption agency that refused to serve unmarried and same-sex couples.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A federal judge ruled that New York state could not require a Christian family services agency to provide adoption services to unmarried or same-sex couples.
