hot takes: westchester is upstate new york. it’s literally geographically upstate and just because it’s part of the nyc metro area does not mean it is part of downstate.
also, long island is not diet westchester. long island actually has its own distinct regional niche while westchester is basically like most other nyc suburbs.
lockdown ain’t too bad now

Important
Hi,
We, the useless-countryfacts community has decided to make a joint call on this topic, as this isn’t a political problem anymore, it’s a humanitarian one.
The war in Yemen has brought heavy consequences to the population, the biggest one: lack of resources. Cholera hit the country ten days after the sewersystem gave out, and the lack of food and medical assistance led to 80% of the people in great need of humanitarian assistance and protection.
Out of 30.5 million Yemenis, 20 million are being haunted by hunger every day.
We want to change at least something, by showing you options for donation, as this is very very important and not overseeable anymore.
The UNHCR is providing the citizens with protection, humanitarian relief, medical supplies and more. Please consider donating, and if you can’t then please please reblog this.
Thank you.
Do not count part 3 on the NYS English Regents
here is the link to the petition btw
i woke up to seeing this......i didn’t know it was that bad despite seeing the memes
what are regents?
instead of finals for some classes, new york public schools has state tests called regents and they count as a final grade in high school this is something unique to only our state. and since new york follows common core, all the math and english regents are to common core standard. the regents offered are, algebra 1 common core, geometry common core, algebra 2 common core (they are first offering it this year), english common core, global history, us history, earth science, living envirornment (bio), chemistry, and physics. everyone takes every regents, except for science where you only need 3. they used to have regents for foreign language classes, but they cancelled those. a mastery score is 85 or above (exception of algebra, which is an 80, and english which is a 75). these tests are 3 hours with multiple choice and short answers, however, you are allowed to leave after the 2nd hour if you are done (lets face it: everyone does for bio, even i did.) colleges do not see your regents grade (it is part of your grade) unless you go to a suny school.
td;lr: when people from new york talk about having regents, they are standardized final exams.

9/11
This is a bit late, but I’m going to talk about how 9/11 impacted me and my family. For those who didn’t know, I was born in New York City days after 9/11. That in itself has shaped my life. For the short period of time I lived in Manhattan, I was outside the city half of the time due to safety. I also have weaker lungs due to the smoke from the debris. The debris was carcinogenic, and my uncle (technically second cousin once removed, but still) was a first responder who survived 9/11, but he is one of the many who died because of the debris. He passed away from cancer this August. Someone close to me passed away due to the effects of 9/11. 9/11 has made me and Nw York stronger.
