I contain multitudes Oh Oh shit My multitudes containment system is failing, everyone retreat to a safe distance

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

I went out for lunch so I probably shouldn't order dinner but hear me out: what if I do anyway?

First real job was at a magazine...which went out of business a year before all the other magazines did so it was still possible to get hired. Applied to a website b/c of my late 90s/early 00s basic HTML and CSS skills (learned to make Sailor Moon fansites), got hired, stayed in digital forever.

Remember: the only way to save New York City from Donald Trump’s wrath is electing Andrew Cuomo.

I am pleased with how some pottery things are turning out but I can't share pictures because, you know, Chanukah presents 😀 (This is particularly nice after I've had to pivot to handbuilding because some of my joints decided to stop working this summer so I can't sit at the wheel, SIGH.)

Not to subtweet but it's taken me a bit to work through why I had a kneejerk unhappy reaction to the post going around that's (gently) laughing about someone asking if the fae are open source after reading a few romantasy books.

Happy Friday, here’s a little excerpt from this week’s Fix The News for you ♥️

When I visited Japan last year, I loved being a tourist. I tried to take the tourist home with me to NYC, where I've lived for nearly 20 years. It turns out even my home block is full of beauty and wonder when you look at it with fresh eyes!

I’m howling.

this poem. this feeling.

Unlike most apps these days, Scrivener does not use AI in any way. However, if you’re on a Mac, you may see an AI prompt. . Here’s why, and what you can do if you want to remove this: buff.ly/MlAq0rL

Apparently raccoons are showing signs of proto-domestication, which is great, could they please speed that up so I can have one to snuggle like I've wanted since I was a toddler??? www.scientificamerican.com/article/racc...

I'm at the Target boycott, I'm at the Starbucks boycott, I'm at the combination Target boycott and Starbucks boycott

This is perhaps the most Monday of a Monday I've had in awhile.

If you thought women ruined the workplace, wait until you see what us enbies are doing. Flex hours, pay equality, plants on the desk, diverse hires, accessible desk spaces ... Real "9 to 5" shit, just like Dolly Parton taught us.

Hey that's my mayor(-elect)! So glad I knocked doors for him!!

An abridged book is edition by subtraction.

A lesson from Mamdani's election, that is not an only-in-NYC thing: People are hungry for ideas and ideals, and will follow leaders who provide them, whether or not those leaders have party backing. And when the party shits on them, they will be mad as hell and knock a million doors. Just saying.

Sending relieved love to all of my friends 🏳️‍🌈

Hopefully this is correct and what's happening now is desperate Republican rumors. However!! It never ever hurts to tell your senators how you feel!! Anyway Schumer's NYC office won't let you leave voicemail outside regular hours (wtf) but his DC office will. In case you were wondering. #USpoli

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

I'm watching The Fugitive for the first time in years and hey did you know, this movie is very very good?

an arc where the former governor of NY loses increasingly inconsequential elections until the series finale is him trying to run for senior class president at a local high school and getting his ass kicked by some 17 year olds.

Oh, that ending. Perfection.

How about a trio?

Fact-Checking Claims About Zohran Mamdani https://theonion.com/fact-checking-claims-about-zohran-mamdani/

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

He beat the wrap.

More New Yorkers voted Working Families Party than voted Republican.

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

Fellow elder millennials, this is the "Auto-Tune the News" dude, how's that for a blast from the past

I can't believe I actually have to work today and not just celebrate, that seems unfair!!!! What will Mamdani do about this violation of my human rights!!

This client slacked me champagne bottle emojis at 11:00 last night 😂

gotta do everything myself

Good morning 😀😀😀

I feel like the universe just played Fuck-Mary-Kill with Jonathan Bailey, Zohar Mamdani, and Dick Cheney

I'm taking credit (.0000001% but still) for the UWS being blue, which it absolutely WAS NOT during the primary, because @allreb.bsky.social and I, the bravest people in the world, canvassed there

“I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life”

BRAD!!!

“He doesn’t have a mandate” are you fucking kidding? Dick Cheney died the day Zohran is elected he has the mandate of HEAVEN

well I for one am shocked that "every aspect of your life gets worse forever and also look at my marble bathroom" did not turn out to be a winning election strategy
