Household Music - Finding My Own Groove

“There’s a step stool there if you need it,” said the bespectacled vinyl vendor, mercifully. I stood on my tippy toes with much strain, wishing I was a few inches taller to reach the crates in the back, the floral tote bag on my shoulder already heavy with more WFMU Record Fair finds than I’d budgeted for.

I also wished for better dexterity as I could tell the smug hipster next to me was waiting for me to leaf through the offerings faster, further adding to my strain as I was shaking from the thrill of the find, a hot flash coming on.

My first year at the fair, I felt like an amateur, convinced I didn’t know what I was doing. I was too aimless to belong there, wandering through the aisles unsure of what I was looking for, or whether I should be looking for something specific at all.

I wasn’t new to exploring music, but I was new to exploring it on vinyl.

The Battle Over Voting Rights in America Continues

Across the country, concerns over voting rights and the integrity of the electoral process have led to a surge in legal actions ahead of Election Day 2024. Fueled by the false claims of election fraud in the 2020 election, lawmakers in multiple states enacted laws restricting voter eligibility and changing voting procedures.

In response, civil rights organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the NAACP filed lawsuits nationwide, alleging violations of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which prohibits discrimination in voting nationwide on the basis of race or being a member of a language minority group. These legal challenges are rapidly reshaping the voting rights landscape, with the potential to significantly impact state, local, and national elections.

Ticketmaster's Practices Take the Spotlight

Seeing Taylor Swift live with thousands of other “Swifties” wasn’t supposed to be impossible. In November 2022, when tickets for Swift’s “Eras” tour went on sale, Ticketmaster customers encountered website crashes, sparse availability, unusable presale access codes, and outrageous prices.

Many fans, locked out of Ticketmaster, flocked to secondary sites to find tickets as high as $22,700 each, according to an article in The Guardian. After a flood of complaints, in January 2023 more than 300 fans (at last count) signed on to a lawsuit filed in California Superior Court against Live Nation Entertainment, Ticketmaster’s parent company. The plaintiffs allege the company engages in anti-competitive actions and predatory consumer practices, in violation of California’s Unfair Competition Law, which prohibits false advertising and illegal business practices. They are seeking $2,500 in damages for each violation of the California law.

Voters in 2024 Election May Face Restrictions

For the 2024 presidential election, voters in 28 states will face restrictions that were not in place for the 2020 election, according to the Brennan Center for Justice, a nonpartisan law and policy organization.

In its latest “Voting Laws Roundup” from May 2024, the Brennan Center reported that these restrictions include how mail-in ballots are handled and collected, shortened deadlines for requesting absentee ballots, and additional requirements for voter registration organizations.

Tackling Racism in Sports

The sports world may appear more integrated than other career paths, but Black athletes face racial inequity as well.
In the aftermath of the Civil War, Black athletes thrived in some sports, but none more so than in horse racing, which is America’s oldest sport, dating back to the early 1700s.
In fact, 13 of the 15 jockeys that competed in the first Kentucky Derby, held in 1875, were Black. The winning jockey that first year was Oliver Lewis, a Black man born into slavery in 1856, who rode a horse named Aristides to victory. In the Derby’s first 28 years, 15 of the winning jockeys were African American.

Muslim Women Face Discrimination for Wearing Hijab

Few garments evoke as much controversy as the hijab. Translated from Arabic as partition, curtain, or barrier, sometimes hijab refers to the headscarf worn by Islamic women, and sometimes it refers to the broader concept of practicing modesty by both men and women, according to the Women’s Islamic Initiative in Spirituality & Equality, a global organization dedicated to promoting women’s rights. For this reason, it is often referred to as practicing hijab or wearing hijab.

Head coverings for Muslim women come in different forms. The hijab typically fits snuggly from the forehead around the face and drapes down the neck. Nearly half a million Muslim women and girls regularly wear hijab, according to the Pew Research Center. Typically, young women start wearing hijab in public or around non-family males when puberty begins.

Athletes Navigate Transgender Sports Bans

Participation in sports—from Little League to high school to the collegiate level—is about more than just winning. Involvement in sports promotes life skills such as discipline, responsibility, self-confidence, and teamwork.

According to Inside Higher Education, there are currently 20 states that limit or ban transgender athletes in grades K-12 from participating in sports that align with their gender identity. The constitutionality of these bans is being challenged under Title IX, the landmark gender equality law enacted in 1972, which prohibits discrimination based on sex in any educational program receiving federal funding.

Holding Corporations Accountable for Climate Change

Everyone can play a part in combating climate change. Corporations, however, are uniquely positioned to play an even bigger role and are facing pressure to take meaningful and timely action.

According to a 2021 report, “Taking Stock: A Global Assessment of Net Zero Targets,” published by the Energy & Climate Intelligence Unit, a London-based nonprofit, 21% of the world’s 2,000 largest public companies agreed to net zero emission targets, but many of these companies did not include the most substantial and difficult to address Scope 3 emissions.

Net zero means balancing the amount of greenhouse gases entering the Earth’s atmosphere with the amount being removed. In other words, not adding to the amount of greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere. Net zero is a target that scientists have said the world needs to reach by 2050 in order to limit global temperature rise and mitigate the worst effects of climate change.

Social Media Platforms Profit from Damage to Teens

Instagram and its parent company, Facebook Inc., rebranded as Meta, have faced increasing calls to rein in social media practices that promote hate speech and online bullying. Additionally, documents obtained and published by The Wall Street Journal demonstrate that Facebook continues to pursue younger Instagram users despite internal data showing the platform’s detrimental effects on teenagers. These effects are most profound on girls whose body images can be warped by the platform’s unrealistic portrayals.

Spotlight: Jersey City's West Side Neighborhood

This is my community!
I have lived on the West Side for 3 years now and I LOVE my neighborhood.
It's a diverse community with beautiful Victorian homes and pre-war buildings, big trees, and homeowners who really care about their properties and their neighbors.

We have the sprawling and leafy Lincoln Park, which keeps getting better with a newly renovated playground and exciting plans for the former event space Casino in the Park.

Recently we've seen a handful of new businesses opening in the area, and West Side Avenue just became a Special Improvement District (SID).

The West Side light rail station, which connects to Downtown JC as well as the PATH train to NYC, is currently undergoing repairs and will be reopening next year. There are also several bus lines that run to the Journal Square PATH.

While I love every Jersey City neighborhood for different reasons, I think the West Side is JC's best kept secret!

Check out my favorite places on the West Side!

Syrian Family Finds Home in Union City

I imagine it was a bittersweet day for them.

About 5 years ago they escaped Syria in the middle of the night, all 8 of them, crawling through the dirt at one point.
It was their third attempt to cross the border into Turkey. This time they were finally able to get there and stay there.

They left behind everything.
Friendships, community, possessions, assets, culture, familiarity - everything.

They began again in Istanbul, where they lived for 3 years on work visas. But it wasn't their forever home and they began working with a refugee organization with the goal of seeking asylum in the United States.

They were all set to make their way to a new life, having left their jobs in Istanbul and their visas, when they received word that they would not be able to come to the U.S., probably ever, due to the travel ban that was enacted in 2017.
Suddenly things looked bleak for them and they were in immigration limbo.

Local Information for Prospective Home Buyers in Jersey City

We LOVE Jersey City!
Jersey City is a tight knit community despite being New Jersey’s second largest city. While Downtown is synonymous with Jersey City for newcomers, our large city has several distinct neighborhoods offering multiple transportation options, excellent restaurants, a vibrant arts community, well organized community groups, beautiful parks, and varied housing options.

Steeped in culture and history, Jersey City has become a destination outside of NYC and has welcomed many newcomers seeking fast commutes and more affordable options.

Our fair city was recently deemed 2020’s most diverse city in America. Its diverse population includes immigrants from around the world and a distinctive mix of long-time residents.

From the shiny luxury condos along the Waterfront to Downtown’s charming brownstone-lined streets and pedestrian plaza, to Bergen-Lafayette’s expansive Liberty State Park, to the West Side’s Doctor’s Row neighborhood and gorgeous Lincoln Park, to Greenville’s cultural landmarks and New Jersey City University, to the burgeoning restaurant scene and sweeping NYC views in the Heights — Jersey City has something for everyone!

Come see why Jersey City could be your next home!

Special Kids @ PS5

Dear PS5 Special Parents,
Welcome to the second semester! By now our little ones are well into their school routines and have built strong relationships with their friends and teachers. They are also deep into their curriculum and have, hopefully, been showing improvement in their skills and knowledge.
Often times we, as parents, are the first to realize when our children’s skills aren’t where they should be. But, being on the
frontlines, teachers are constantly on the lookout to see which students are struggling.

Special Kids @ PS5

Dear PS5 Special Parents,
I don’t know about you, but “Back to School” isn’t just a one-day thing—it’s a process. Countless phone calls, emails and texts with teachers, case managers, therapists, doctors and other parents, mostly to commiserate. But hopefully by now you’ve all settled into the school year and your kids are feeling more comfortable in their classrooms. Now that everyone is hitting their stride, it’s time to assess how things are going and work together
to find solutions for any persistent issues your children may be having.
