greeting a bodega cat AND eating knafeh at al-Sham in Astoria??? 😍😍😍😍 my choice for mayor AND the itinerary of a perfect first date

Screenshot of a text message reading "Can just go around telling everyone that my apartment is actually yours because it was promised to you 3000 years ago lol"

briefly considered going as a z**nist for halloween (z**nism -- the true horror) but couldn't figure out how to do it without covering myself in hate symbols and my friend who is hosting the party suggested this

My momma bestie is my auntie
My auntie friend that go to her church is also my auntie
My 75 year old cousin... is also my auntie

"Auntie" is what happens when you understand the expansive proposition of family

"That's not your aunt" is what happens when you live outside of restorative community

oh you mean "I don't ride in yellow cabs because the the mob shot me in a yellow cab" or "Zor-han Mamdami"?

Nothing says “land of the free” like armed agents of the state saying “show me your papers if you want your daughter back” bsky.app/profile/nbcb...

"Live your life in a way where Bibi is never praying for you"

I did not say this but I so wish I had

or why a health insurance CEO with the blood of thousands and thousands of people on his hands is a victim while the man who allegedly shot him is a criminal

“Black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a white person’s slot”.

-Charlie Kirk

"that's not funny, no one should lose their lives to gun violence" so true! that's what we've been saying all along. I'm so glad you agree

... and what nuclear proliferation and New Math and Fanny Hill were (and maybe also about masochism??). I'm pretty sure I sang "The Elements" in front of my high school chemistry class.

"When you attend a funeral
It is sad to think that sooner o'
Later those you love will do the same for you..."

I grew up listening to and singing #TomLehrer -- my dad (who kinda looks like Tom Lehrer) is a pianist with a quiet wry sense of humor and I was a loud theater/choir kid. TL was where we met in the middle.

TL taught me words like "genuflect" and "transubstantiation" and who Werner von Braun was...

The clerks where I get my lunch said a man came in last week and asked them where the public entrance to 26 Federal Plaza was. He locked his bike outside, and it’s been there since.

Boom, Belgium — In what may become a turning point in the global pursuit of accountability, Belgian federal police have arrested and interrogated two Israeli soldiers credibly accused of war crimes in Gaza. The action came in response to an urgent legal complaint filed by the Hind Rajab Foundation and the Global Legal Action Network (GLAN) earlier this week. The suspects were identified and arrested with a clear show of force at the Tomorrowland festival in Boom. After being taken into custody, they were formally interrogated and released. The Belgian Federal Prosecutor’s Office has confirmed that a criminal investigation is now underway.

Thanks to the Hind Rajab Foundation, 2 Israeli soldiers accused of war crimes were arrested by Belgian authorities while at the Tomorrowland Festival and interrogated. A criminal investigation is underway.

Belgium is fulfilling duty to international law.

I use Canary Mission as a rolodex to find doctors, lawyers, pharmacists, student researchers, potential interns, bakers, angel investors, accountants etc I’ve heard Canary Mission described as the most exclusive dating service on Earth

I was never a regular but I still have so many memories. The Oloffson is where I was drinking a ji grenadya when I heard Duvalier was back in Haiti. It's where I earned the worst hangover of my life. It's where I met countless friends and heard countless stories.

it's like the "gangs" (and their sponsors) are trying to destroy any piece of national heritage the earthquake spared

Drone image of the Hotel Oloffson, Port-au-Prince, with the entirety of the wooden building burned, only the brick skeleton remains, surrounded by trees.

Hotel Oloffson is gone. The iconic Port-au-Prince gingerbread was set alight and burned to ash last night. #Haiti

funny how a bunch of 20 year olds saying "please stop killing babies" is antisemitic but the president doing explicit public antisemitism is chilllllllll

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

Seeing a lot of folks post the little NYMag item from 2002 where 11yo Zohran Mamdani requested video games for the holidays, but nobody's posting the ADORRRRRRABLE photo of him that ran alongside it:

I feel this more every single day

YouTube video by Brad Lander for NYC Brad Lander: "I'll keep coming back to court, week after week"

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process.

But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.

That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

This Pride Month, Stand With Andry “I think Pride Month is an opportunity to highlight his story even more,” Rep. Robert Garcia said about Andry Hernández Romero, the gay asylum-seeker unjustly purged to El Salvador by U.S. officials.

“His mother does not even know whether he is alive.” open.substack.com/pub/americas... #FreeAndry

Lander says he's fine, lost a button in the scuffle earlier. "I will be fine but Edgardo will not be fine," he says of man taken by ICE when he was detained. Lander says he has not been charged at this point.
