rewatching You’ve Got Mail and just got hit with the realization that Meg Ryan’s character is absolutely a NIMBY

today’s good thing is we ride the Angel’s Flight funicular twice and it was delightful in both directions

found the worst car of all time

on the bright side, I am riding trains in Los Angeles

not that I was feeling particularly great about the state of journalism these days but this week is really breaking me re: the future of the industry, not gonna lie

My new shirt design is a very serious PSA that I was asked to make, because apparently a lot of people don't know. roryblank.bigcartel.com

Has anyone ever been hotter than these two men in this specific photo (RIP)

Folks, I know things are a little bit crazy right now, but Lindsey Adler’s fluffy goofball Fisher was involved in a bad situation today and is facing some serious medical care and bills. Anything to help would be extremely extremely appreciated. All the money goes to Fish. gofund.me/db767a303

Got double vaxxed yesterday with absolutely no trouble or fanfare! If you’re in Brooklyn, the Target pharmacy at City Point was efficient and easy

I went to City Island today and you know what rules? City Island

the legend lives on from the Chippewa on down / of the big cheesy cake topped with blueberries

I think something that could unite us all is building a new SS Edmund Fitzgerald

this is just my personal pet peeve but it sucks to feel bad all the time and i am not into it

the only thing keeping me going this week is the knowledge that I’m seeing Jarvis Cocker’s freaky ass live tomorrow

feels like I’m the only indie-inclined woman in her 40s who lives in Brooklyn who did not see Rilo Kiley last night

I met a boat dog today and that was good

I still do not understand labubus tbh

So I’m supposed to look my students in the eye this semester and tell them that hard work, diligence, even adherence to basic journalistic principles is the right way in this field

we live in hell!!!!!!

Happy Skyscraper Day! (architects dressed as their NYC buildings, 1931)

"bluesky is dying" that's cool man. i go on here to make funny posts with my friends

finished half of the first draft of my guidebook

It’s my 25-year New York anniversary so I went to the beach and you know what, this place fucking rules

If you saw an irate woman yelling about people going the wrong way down a one way road, including one DRIVING IN THE BIKE LANE, in Boerum Hill, yes that was me

I can

replacing Batman fight onomatopoeiae with old midwestern brewery names

Them: “Cities are all rotting hellscapes!” Cities:

I don’t know what would happen today if a subway train was taken hostage by a group of criminals in trench coats but Taking of Pelham 123 did get a lot of the inner workings of subway operations right from what I know

boats good, Seaport Museum good

book research took me to Fraunces Tavern and Federal Hall, neither of which I’ve ever visited before. pretty cool!
