I'm gonna be so pissed if he dies right after my whole family got together for a big party with champagne and everything. What a missed opportunity. I mean. Not THAT pissed...
Disabled New York pedestrian, music lover, plush jaguar caretaker, professional hater of Eric Adams. Putting you all on nicely organized lists instead of doing follow-backs for my own sanity. <3

Sitting here figuring out the most efficient way to cross state lines without a car to get a vaccine in the year 2025 because a bunch of assholes voted for a lunatic
To be fair, I'm not sure my family does, either... it's apparently a big ask!
How do you think I feel! It's only Monday here!
"Kids should eat more vegetables" vs. banning life-saving medicines and cancelling cutting-edge cancer research. Both sides are the same, they tell me, as my face melts off.
And when September ends, I've got my song queued up...
I already miss Parlor Room!
Sour cream and onion.
Have they met RFK Jr.? ðĨē
Maybe you need to add that having a covered license plate is against the law ð since the NYPD seems generally unaware.
This is one of those things that you see and just think "rich people need to pay more taxes". The world absolutely does not need that house to exist while human beings don't have food and medicine and homes.
I remember them because Memorial day is M, for May. Veterans day is alphabetically last and also the last one in the year (November).

Me reading this while panting slightly after a brisk walk ðĪŠ
Good luck! I love making bread, but haven't tried sourdough.
Grr! Reminds me of when a group I was in booked a bar for an event which they told us was wheelchair accessible, and it turned out that like 10% (and the bathroom) was accessible... and then the rest was up several stairs. Hey, you can get in the door and pee, what more do you want ð
Cute forg fren!
You gotta get them at a local farmer's market or something. They're sooo good in season and perfectly ripe. And try the little mini ones, I think they're called the sugar cube variety. Amazing. I used to love cantaloupe and then last year I developed an allergy, I am so mad about it.
Driving past inactive bus lanes while we're stuck in horrendous traffic on 5th Avenue makes me so mad. I've had to get out of buses multiple times and switch to a taxi to make it to an appointment on time (or slightly late) after thinking I was leaving more than enough time for traffic.
Mom still has my 2024 Mother's Day card on the mantel. Guess that was an all-timer. ð
Thank you for arranging this for my dad's birthday party ðĨģ
President Michaelis, this "insane toddler with too much caffeine" video edit is clearly a deepfake. We all know how realistic those videos can be these days. We've all got your back! ðđ
That shit is expensive, too. They want you to shell out $100 to have someone wave their hands near you for a little while. I can think of a lot better places to give my money away.
Someone told me to try reiki. I can't even remember what for. Migraines or one of my various pains.
We don't get nearly enough snow in NYC.
Well some people just aren't built for the cold. That's not me. I crave the peace and silence of the winter when everything is dead. LOL.
Am I saying my friend who spends her hard-earned money going to a psychic and not getting vaccinated has been hoodwinked by a bunch of grifters and assholes? Wellllllllll yes yes I am
Arg. I've had them schedule appointments at 2 or 3 in the afternoon and be like "you didn't fast??" I mean. Who would assume they are supposed to fast for a 3PM appoinment?
Doesn't it drive you crazy when they don't tell you ahead of time that they need you to fast??
You can tap your credit card/Apple Pay at the turnstile. But folks who are disabled, elderly etc. have discount cards and many of us are still using the Metrocard machine because the discount cards haven't all been upgraded to the tap-and-go style of card.
Just had one of those special summer moments where you have an intense craving for it to be about twenty degrees and the middle of January. It's not even hot this week, I'm just done with summer.
The only metrocard machine in my neighborhood has been broken for 11 days. Still waiting for my Fair Fares OMNY card to arrive. ð
I have been getting ads for class action suits already since I live nearby. There is no excuse for this kind of negligence. Seven dead (so far). Dozens hospitalized. Because the city didn't do building maintenance...
Source of the multiple fatalities is confirmed to be the city run hospital ð They are supposed to be inspected and maintained very frequently. But staff shortages and blah blah. Fucking Eric Adams administration... there's no problem they can't fail to fix. People are dead!
I think they're making it sell slushies.
It's been a long week, Drew!
Everyone's got those "At least it's Friday ðŪâðĻ" vibes today.
Happy birthday Nichole!! The birthday turtle is coming your way!
"they were forced to stand around for about three hours while the federal agents checked their records" Wow! The entire group of firefighters was forced to waste three hours for this while they were right by an active fire??
It is almost starting to feel that way just living in NYC. People come to visit and have a whole list of places to visit that I've never heard of. All these TikTok and IG "viral" eateries and specific spots you "have to" take a photo, etc. Just ... so odd.
I'm obviously not the target market, but Disney just sounds like a hellish experience to me these days. Sort of the Instagrammification of an amusement park. They algorithmed everything & made it all into something you can snap a pic of and post online for your friends, at the expense of being good.
Exactly. He'll be prepared to go to Mar-a-lago every weekend.
There is a (I think) semi-legit theory that mitochondria have something to do with chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis, so some of us may actually be able to say that our mitochondrial challenges are keeping us from being able to do a thing ð
I think either way we don't have to deal with them.
We can put you on one of those explodey SpaceX rockets.
They were just trying to avoid making it New York centric because you people keep complaining about that ð
You mean that isn't your preferred pronoun? ð At least they skewered him on air via your words, I guess... taking the small wins. ðŦĐ
Right. If an apple a day keeps the doctor away... surely a thousand apple cores a week keeps the... ðĪ viruses...meek?
And it would be fine if it was easy and simple but when your mother has had cancer and 7 autoimmune disorders, and you're on 10 medications and have an extensive medical history, it is FUCKING OBNOXIOUS to have to write it out OVER AND OVER for no reason!
Just spent a full 25 minutes filling out a survey to see a new doctor (after filling out the standard check-in survey) for a fairly minor issue. Full medical history, parents' and sibling's medical history, etc. etc. I have written this same shit out so many times and they never read a word of it.
I did that for my last blood draw because the first stick in my arm didn't yield any blood and I just didn't have the patience that day for a bunch of attempts. Told them to go for the hand. I had a giant bruise for like nine days, too.
If I were dictator of the world, all landscaping crews would be banned from using gas-powered tools. Rakes instead of leaf blowers! Manual lawnmowers! It will save the environment, their ears, and my brain.
want new members and then you'll figure it out after another visit or two. But it's hard to say on the first try. I always feel awkward in new spaces and it's definitely nicer when they are welcoming... but sometimes persistence pays off and you end up being one of the regulars.
I would give it another couple of tries if you like it. IME groups are sometimes suspicious of newbies but will warm up to you once they discover you are a decent sort who really likes whatever the thing is (books). Of course it might turn out they are really a cliquey social club and don't 1/2
My weather guy gave today a 10 out of 10 here in NYC!
Then my friends started leaving reviews ð
Years ago FB let just anyone make a "location" where you could check in, and I made one for my bed. What I didn't realize was that every time I checked in as a joke, like, "Another migraine! Time to stay in bed all weekend!" it added a check in. "17 people have checked in at Sarah's Bed" ðŽ ð
Crossover from fantasy football to football fantasies ð
My favorite is when I type a word correctly and autocorrect straight-up changes it to something wrong. WTF. I wanted it to say "your" or "their" not "you're" or "there."
ð They are all so different to me! Your handle is making sense to me now. Everything rhymes! All the words.
The one that gets me is Mary/marry/merry. Who are these people that just pronounce everything the same! ð
"Back in 2023, high school students with the Hyde Square Task Force reported that prices were higher at Stop & Shop stores in low-income neighborhoods compared to suburban stores." Food prices in my low-income urban neighborhood are way higher than in the suburbs as well. It's so shitty!
Hear hear. I am an e-mail spam extremist.
Oh dear. I guess witness protection is out...
Just tell everyone you got banned from TikTok and maybe they'll stop ð
Hell yeah ð
Plus, adding even more taxis to NYC further devalues the taxi medallions that people paid through the nose for. Horribly unfair. We don't need more cars and we don't need to put anyone else out of work.
I can't imagine why the concept of Brennan losing it would be on people's minds? ðĪ
I scanned the newspaper advisor's signature and printed up an endless supply of identical signed hall passes for me and my BFF to get out of study hall anytime we felt like it. Of course, we were very hardworking kids who used them to go do homework in the computer lab. LOL.
My mom (southern but has lost 95% of her accent) can't hear the difference between pin and pen even if when I say them differently. When I lived in the UK I had a convo with British people who swore law and lore were pronounced the same. It's a weird phenomenon! I say cot/caught differently. ðĪ·ââïļ
I've spent the last year with a partially clogged ear and constant low level congestion and intermittent skin reactions and (rambles on for five minutes about my various allergic problems) so. Yeah. I really want to see one!
Trying to! Finally got an appointment with an allergist this week, I have wanted to see one for ages.
Yeah. ð And instead of coming together as a community, a lot of people keep pulling each other down like crabs in a bucket.
âđïļ Nothing in this country has been feeling too comfortable lately...
ðŊ! As a NYCer with many friends in other impacted cities...
They'll probably update with "Trump will send the army after you (and we like it)"
Hold still! ðĄïļðĒ
Also secret from viewers until the moment it was released on a livestream (today). But you know. No one is making you watch it. ðĪ·ââïļ Be a drag, I don't care.
It was kept secret from the host of the show...
Every day I feel a little more relieved about selling all the American stocks in my retirement portfolio just after Trump became president ðŽ
Oh damn now I have to watch a secret episode of Game Changer instead of going to the post office??
Red shoes can be cool but not on a person from an administration that makes you worry they've been dyed in blood.
The internal panic is real. There are so many terrifying things you can accidentally say when pants doesn't mean pants any more. "Oh no, what is all over my pants? Is that chocolate?" ð
Most of what I picked up when I lived in the UK was a few word swaps like pants/trousers, sketchy/dodgy, etc. And it left me with a few permanent confusions like never being able to remember what you call a roundabout/rotary/traffic circle/whateverthefuck where I live now.
So, this was easily the best part of my weekend. Kenny Wollesen's 17-piece "Rose Thorne" project. Beautiful, uplifting, heartbreaking, amazing. He rarely gets a chance to do his own big projects like this, but they are always stunning and so creative. Really special, I feel lucky being there ðĨ°
Guys desperately trying to remember which accessories you are supposed to match. Your watch to your belt? Your lapel pin to your cufflinks? Ahh! That's right, your shoes to your tie.
I've been saying for years I wanted to be a philanthropist when I grow up. Not millions to the museum. I wanna be the person writing checks to commission a new piece or rent a piano for a week at a scrappy DIY space.
Unfortunately some jackhole has been doing extreme loud music since 9AM so no collapsing into rest after 30 hours for Sarah ð Migraine as predicted though. We are doing the one where every noise and light and movement makes me nauseous.
He looks very trustworthy to me.
She'll refill these via messages on the portal, so it's not even that! (I have had doctors like that before, though.) I don't even mind coming in frequently since I have chronic illness. But I absolutely don't want to have to constantly worry about running out of medication. I want a sane schedule.
Cheap af generics, nothing that is even remotely near a controlled substance. I've been on them for between 4 and 20 years so I'm familiar with the prescribing. She probably could have done 12 mos. ðĪ·ââïļ She also wrote "dermatology" on the referral for my ear and sinus problem... ð
I will never understand my primary care doctor. I have three daily meds that I get filled through her. She renewed the Rx this week and they have: two refills. Three refills. And four refills. So each will run out at a different time and I'll have to contact her 3 different times when they run out.
I'm obviously a (mostly) happy city dweller - 29 years between Boston metro, NYC and London. But I don't like this thing people do where they act like you have to accept all negative aspects of city life without question. Some complaints are valid and should be addressed.
And people use "race" and "culture" and "cities are loud" as an excuse for literally ANY personal behavior that causes noise in a city at any hour of the day. Which is ludicrous. Some people are just assholes and should knock it off.
Do you live in a city? My building neighbors aren't the issue, it's the outside street neighbors. There's no window glass in the world that will soundproof against these noise levels. The solution is people not being antisocial assholes. This didn't happen on my block pre-COVID.
OK but my neighbors have not been quiet for 13 hours straight and it's 1:30AM?
Absolutely. I had a frozen shoulder which triggered very severe arm pain, and holding my arm and shoulder funny for three months triggered my lower back going all wonky, which turned into severe back pain, which has worsened my neck problem, which turned into severe pain in the OTHER arm, which... ð
My plush jaguar when I leave him home alone.
Scariest transpo I ever did in NYC was a taxi in which the driver was shouting racist epithets at people on the sidewalk for literally no reason #2 was the Uber I took where the driver was actively discussing drug deals with his partner "Sarah, why don't you take taxis at night for your safety? ðĨī"
