The April celebration Vaisakhi is a time when Sikhs gather for community worship, meals, and parades. Here I was in America about a century later trying to honor the community he helped build and, by extension, the Sikh faith. Anumeha Sinha for BINow in my late 20s, it's been 11 years since I've lived in a close-knit Sikh community. To feel closer to her community, Kaur said she's now making a personal effort to honor traditions she learned when she was younger. But outside the Sikh community — and increasingly after 9/11, like Singh mentioned — I saw people misunderstand our symbols of faith.

"Until the last 10 years, when people would say to me they had an Eames chair, I never knew which one they meant," Kirkham said.

A few weeks after Kenny DeForest died, a group of his friends gathered in an apartment in Los Angeles. The mood was somber — Mr. DeForest was only 37, and he had died from traumatic brain injuries after falling off an electric bike in Brooklyn. But Mr. DeForest was a professional comedian, and his friends were all comedians, and any gathering of comedians eventually comes to feel like a party. They were playing a game where everybody gets a card with a single word and then gives clues to help their teammates guess the word. Will Miles, one of Mr. DeForest’s best friends, plucked a card from the deck.

“We’re going to be making a beat,” Dannyele Crawford said as the kids settled noisily into their seats at a homeless shelter in Brooklyn. The room filled with clashing, tinny riffs leaking from headsets as the pint-size producers danced and bobbed in their seats. What the children did not know this recent Monday afternoon was that Ms. Crawford, 27, is not just a teacher. She is a music therapist, there to help children deal with the stress of not having a permanent place to call home. Since 2015, therapists who work for the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music have made regular visits to the 158-family shelter in the Brownsville neighborhood, run by the nonprofit Camba.

In these instances, and others, authorities have not offered many specifics about who the “outside agitators” are, how significant their numbers are or how they differentiated outsiders from university-affiliated protesters. “It seems to me that the ‘outside agitator’ claim is one to shift the focus away from the grievances of the students and their protest.”The emphasis on “outside agitators,” Morris says, detracts from the central issue that is driving students to protest: Israel’s war in Gaza. ‘Outside agitator’ trope has a long historyYou don’t have to look far back in history to find examples of the “outside agitator” narrative. “We want to say as clearly as possible - we welcome ‘outside agitators’ to our struggle against the ruthless genocide of Palestinians.”Still, the use of the term is more complicated than it seems. As pro-Israel politicians have amplified concerns around antisemitism, some supporters of students’ right to free expression have suggested “outside agitators” are undermining otherwise peaceful protests.

An Exxon gas station is seen on October 06, 2023 in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. Exxon Mobil on Friday reported first-quarter earnings that missed expectations as the industry came under pressure from eroding refining margins and collapsing natural gas prices. Natural gas prices have plummeted 37% this year, and refining margins are lower than they were a year ago. Oil and gas production profits fell 12% to $5.67 billion, compared with $6.46 billion in same quarter last year due to lower natural gas prices. Exxon's fuel business saw earnings plummet 67% to $1.38 billion, compared with $4.18 billion in the prior year, due to lower refining margins.

This year, particularly, I’ve been meditating on the fact that gardens and poems share critical, linked invitations. And because even as the planet warms, gardens and poems help cool us off, practically and emotionally. I don’t think I’m overstating the case to say that time spent with poems and gardens build pathways that actually repair us. In their own small plots, poems build diverse networks as well: Sinking into the rhythms and pleasures of literature stimulates the parts of our brains attuned to empathy, helping us build attention, kindness, compassion, regard. Gardens and poems invite that kind of dwelling.
