Laughter, tears, awe, surprises, spending evenings out with people I love, sharing the experience of live performance with strangers, and riding a N train home packed with people holding Playbills smiling and buzzing with delight. I ❤️ NY.

Closing out 2025 at Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s Lightscape, my favorite holiday tradition. New this year were the doves and disco birds. #lightscape #brooklynbotanicgarden

Reported the jerk business on my walk to the gym that didn’t shovel their sidewalk so it’s currently a sheet of ice— they typically park 3 SUVs on the sidewalk, forcing people with strollers and mobility devices into the street just to pass 👍

Rainey Park, Astoria

This should say “if you must drive a car”. Plenty of us travel using the subway.

Good snow day morning to everyone whose dog does little bunny hops in the snow

“He believes the cause was a burnt-out battery inside a bike that was on the scene.” Thank God no one was hurt.

Horrifying and saddening crash. Traffic violence destroys lives and leaves behind mourning families across continents. This was caused when a driver (who also died) crossed over into the opposite lane.

Merry Christmas

Remember to tell your kids that Santa won’t come to your house tonight unless they’re sound asleep! He doesn’t visit the houses of awake children! Then you can relax w/ whatever special bottle 🍷.

Oh forgot to mentioned I saw Him this morning - the bike lane snowplow 🤩

Another pedestrian death in our city. A 19-year-old driving a Hummer crushes a 66-year-old woman to death. He stayed at the scene—he won’t even get a ticket after a little of the “I couldn’t see her, I’m just trying to get home safe, etc” routine Enraging abc7ny.com/post/bronx-w...

Absolute psychopath who doesn’t deserve to live free among the rest of us. Men truly believe their cars are an extension of themselves; their car is their entire life and source of happiness and self-esteem. He bashed a small child into a car window over a thrown snowball.

Dude’s charged with criminally negligent homicide, leaving the scene of an accident [sic], and failure to yield to a pedestrian. Good. It’s a start. He should also lose his vehicle and his license, and the city should immediately install raised crosswalks citywide.

Dutch Kills

It is heartbreakingly cruel that a woman is simply walking across the street to get to where she’s going, and in seconds, she’s gone. Another SUV driver has killed an innocent person in NYC in a crosswalk. A family is about to have the worst holiday season of their lives.

LMAO grading finals and one of my students’ papers just reminded me of when Eric Adams told us to send him photos of cops staring at their phones

He was allegedly watching a video on his phone, just like 90% of drivers that I witness as I bike next to them. Regardless of his legal status, he drove while distracted, a systemic yet normalized problem that our transportation authorities have failed to address.

In my field, anyway, white women benefited the most from DEI. Countless job apps say “women and minorities encouraged to apply” as if they are equivalent. White women are still white! ⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️

Going to see this at the Angelika the day after Christmas

I am going to have to take the subway today ugh Gonna have to find a way to get an hour of cardio at some point then.

Should I bike tomorrow?

A great thing about New York City is that we leave it up to individual homeowners, businesses, and landlords to decide whether they feel like clearing snow on the sidewalks that we all use to get around. If they don’t bother, oh well 🤷🏻‍♀️. Eventually it’ll melt.

Based. Never forgive, never forget.

A whole host of societal failures happened here. The hospital released this woman after a year of treatment onto the streets where she promptly bought a knife and stabbed someone because voices told her to. If only there was a place to put people like her where they can be safe, so we can be safe.

♟️Chess ♟️was a hot mess in terms of its book and direction but the songs are banger after banger, the cast is amazing, and Nicholas, Aaron, and Lea sang their hearts out. Blown away by their talent

An 84 year old man cruising up a 65mph highway decides, hey I think I’ll bust a U-turn! Why not? Then of course he slammed into another vehicle and killing himself and his 81 year old passenger and then severely injured a 21 year old in another car.

Drivers do not care about you. They will murder you or maim you in a crosswalk, and the public will defend their right to do so. The cops will take the driver’s side, you’ll never see justice, and the road will never be redesigned to prevent this.

This attack haunted me when I first read of it. A 54 year old woman was walking down the street when two monsters walked up to her and beat her into a coma. For no reason. She has spent the last two months in the ICU. Imagine the cost and suffering— her life irrevocably changed.

My second commute up 3rd Avenue from 23rd St. Fewer left hooks and less box blocking which is good. I took 52nd over to first this time- I always forget it’s a “protected bike lane” since it’s blocked by parked trucks 99% of the. We yearn for crosstown lanes and true connectivity

Another final research paper received for my class on New York Stories, another student who quoted Dave Colon @davecolon.bsky.social in their essay about the MTA

Water is indeed wet: A dirty NYPD cop parked his Benz at his Staten Island home and commuted to Manhattan in a department vehicle on job time, stealing $20,000 in tolls. nypost.com/2025/12/06/u...

The more I read about this, the more I think the security guard was an idiot for attempting to stop the rioting mob when he was outnumbered and had no jurisdiction. “Rusch put the security vehicle in the middle of the circle, hoping to deter the drivers” lol, are you new here?

What was he charged with? Driving without a license, not for killing a person, same as if he had been driving a car.

18°F bike commute? No problem. When it’s sunny, dry, and not windy like this, it’s a pleasure to ride the same way eating a hot fudge sundae is a pleasure. Body is warm; only face is cold, and when you sense the crisp air you feel totally alive and invigorated!! Hell yeah

Well, it’s not raining yet!

Rode the ✨brand new✨ 3rd Avenue bike lane from Murray Hill to the Queensboro Bridge. Pros: wide, good for passing, no hills unlike 1st Ave, and no parking garages & tunnel and weirdness. Cons: left hooks and a lot of box-blocking.

Um, I have to take LIRR this week and I cannot for the life of me figure out (online) where the train platform is. Is it in the new Moynihan Hall (seatless, fancy) or in the old Penn Station? The website is so unclear!

To be clear, a Republican lawmaker wants to make it easier for drivers to kill children.

Somewhere out there, an SUV driver who just murdered someone is quietly washing the blood off his front end. RIP.

They saved their disabled elderly father from the flames, but perished themselves. How sad for the family.

Damn so the entire ground floor of the new luxury building that also helped finance the new MTA elevators at Queensboro Plaza (Grubb Properties) is going to be… a no-name café that also sells smoothies? It’s an entire city block long. Where do they get the $ for this huge ass space?

Autumn Sunday night as a bike commuter: time to charge 🪫➡️🔋seven different devices for the week (pair of bike lights, numerous GoPro batteries, portable speaker, heated bike gloves)

Lol, a Republican who lives on Long Island ran for City Council District 21. He managed to successfully file for candidacy and appear on the ballot, receiving 3700 votes (he lost), and no one seems to mind.

These are the drivers you share the road with.

I wish it were sunnier, but this is the perfect NYC biking temperature, sorry to say. Gloves and light layers, no winter gear needed just yet, no sweat, no sun exposure, and the fair weather riff raff is out of the bike lanes.

Scene on my block: a woman backed (lightly) into a NJ driver’s car as she’s sitting in it waiting for alt-side to end. NJ lady gets out screaming then says “give me your information!” Woman refuses and then NJ says “well I’m gonna call ICE!! ICE or 911? Who should I call???”

I’m sick of how 💨 windy NYC has become. It didn’t used to be like this

This is not justice. The mass murderer had a suspended license and amassed $11k in fines for traffic and parking tickets, including 21 speed camera violations. In a city that takes reckless driving seriously she’d have had her car impounded before she had the chance to kill.
