Currently on my way to work with three hydro flask products on my person (soup, water, coffee) and boy do I not feel like a cool girl

can’t overstate how much this country is still saturated with eugenic thinking

Having intrusive thoughts again about what kind of society we could live in if we didn’t insist on, say, paying $13 million dollars per prisoner per year torturing people on Guantanamo Bay

I've been stuck while trying to do some writing about liberalism, and revisited @jelaniya.bsky.social's 2021 New Yorker piece on CRT & Derrick Bell thanks to a Notes from America rerun. So generative! Passing it on: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/09/20/the-man-behind-critical-race-theory

legally, Times Square has to bring back the porn theaters now, that’s just how it works

I absolutely search for every participant featured in the NYT "The Hunt" column on LinkedIn and then proceed to make various conjectures about what degree of inherited wealth is factoring into their decision before voting. This... is how I have fun now.

what possible argument is there *for* house style as erasure of meaning when it comes to languages that are not english

Working a shift at a beloved LES bookstore embroiled in a nasty NIMBY battle. Lots to say, but in the interim: I implore you to organize people you know about how to Eric Adams capitulation to the NYPD’s fiscally irresponsible demands is making life harder and more dangerous for all New Yorkers

Screaming into the void!!!!

Today, Eric Adams veto'ed an expansion of the housing voucher program.

I wrote about the legal impact of the consent decree for unhoused people living with HIV in the context of COVID here: https://disabilitycovidchronicles.nyu.edu/shelter-in-a-perfect-storm-struggles-for-medically-appropriate-housing/

Driving me particularly insane is the fact that Eric Adams seems hell-bent on worsening the already catastrophic housing crisis in this city. Last month, he signed an executive order challenging a decades old consent decree requiring NYC to shelter the unhoused in a timely way. (1/)

pat robertson is dead, rest in piss to one of the worst people this country ever produced
