you don’t really notice how PoMo our entrances can look until you see them in BRIGHT BLUE AND ORANGE

will be yapping about the Naval Cemetery Landscape for as long as I live here (thank you @nygroove.nyc for the nice feature!!!!!)

“so what’s your take?” “the city of New York must pay me $1 million cash in the next hour and I will kill one person for every minute they are late” “100% disagree”

the smugness of this photo is making me irrationally angry

HELLO MY BOOK IS OUT TODAY!! And just in time for spring and summer, arguably the best seasons in New York—and this book has a lot of great things to do! bookshop.org/p/books/roug...

One day until my book is out! If you want a cute little guide of things to do in New York for every season, I got you!!!! bookshop.org/p/books/roug...

this is like asking a person who has more than 1 child to pick their favorite child

being a menace in work Slack

It’s depressing that my therapist’s office needs to send this email, and with such typed force

one of the stars featured on Vulture’s reality TV covers this week is a regular at my gym and it’s extremely funny to me to think of them as a “famous” person when I’ve seen them grunting on the weight machines. d-list stars: they’re just like us!

few things are more humbling for one’s self esteem than getting a passport photo

I’ve reached the age where I’m scandalized by the stuff sold at Spencer’s Gifts, where TEENS also shop, despite having once been one of those teens giggling at the sexy items

*whispers* my guidebook is available for preorder on Bookshop bookshop.org/p/books/roug...

I got a copy of my book today! This is DELIGHTFUL

Based on my small sample size (driving around suburban Maryland this morning), “Livin’ On a Prayer” is now the most ubiquitous song on classic rock radio, toppling “Stairway to Heaven” for the title.

Time to play my favorite guessing game, “Will I shush someone in the quiet car today”

I’m starting to believe the “Geese is a psyop” rumors if only because every single Spotify playlist that I don’t curate has them on it, no matter the genre. Classic rock? Indie? Shoegaze, somehow????

I am mostly sharing this because my best friend is the voice of reason quoted throughout and that’s nice! (and yes the practice of news orgs partnering with these platforms is extremely not good)

I have been going to the gym consistently for a couple months now and I’m looking forward to getting swole enough that when the Gym Bros don’t rack the weights on the machines, I can just effortlessly lift the amount left on out of spite

This shouldn’t even be a question. Pedestrianize the bridge!!!!!

Fun news: I wrote a book and it comes out in a month! It’s a New York guidebook with things to do categorized by seasons—gardens in spring, beaches in summer, etc. But I hope the recommendations feel fun and surprising for seasoned New Yorkers, too.

wait I missed the part of the Geese discourse where the lead dude’s mom wrote one of the many polyamory memoirs of the last few years???? my god that’s Too Much Brooklyn

Post your favorite film from the year you turned 18: sorry to be an absolute cliche

me, looking at the temperature, and then at the patio above the subway where GYC is

Re-upping my original post because the RFP for a vendor to redesign the MTA's website is still open! Responses will be accepted through May 6 via the MTA's Procurement portal. More info in the 🧵 and I can provide contact info for our procurement lead as well.

SPACE IS SO COOL THIS IS SO GREAT

So who do we think is the Oscar winner that’s going to be on a future Taskmaster season? Olivia Colman feels like the obvious choice but is that TOO obvious

anyone need a photo of a dog who was given a monk’s tonsure by his vet?

A woman screamed “shut him up” at my girlfriend and I while we were walking her dog (who does have a loud bark) in Gowanus, and honestly, why do you live in a city if you’re angry about a dog barking

hell, and can I say, yes

Some extremely exciting news (🧵): The MTA is looking for a vendor to redesign our website! Ours badly needs a refresh—I manage it, I'm allowed to say that—and my dream is for a site that's modern, accessible, user-friendly, and that incorporates our very iconic design and branding.

It hit 80 degrees today You know what that means IT’S ALMOST GOWANUS YACHT CLUB SEASON

where is VetSky and can someone there tell me if there is a magical trick to manually expressing an animal’s bladder (the animal in question is a little old Shih Tzu, it’s been a HELL of a week)

The rumors are true - we've got a new app and it's great. Arrival times are more accurate, there's a new Accessibility mode, and there's a feature that lets you see arrival info for transfer points at upcoming stations. All very good stuff!!!

🚨PSA🚨: DOWNLOAD THE NEW MTA APP TODAY it lets you select by transfers vs speed vs walking and tells you which train car is best based on your transfers and exit location!

like so bad that “it only Tuesday” is not sufficient to describe it

things are really bad

Today’s mood.
