canal street fix pushed to 2027
canal street is getting planters and wider sidewalks but the concrete work slid to 2027, so the crammed sidewalks and the handbag guys are staying a while. honestly the sidewalk on that street already feels like a contact sport, so the delay stings. planters protecting pedestrians is a nice thought though #nyc #canalstreet https://gothamist.com/news/manhattans-canal-street-is-getting-a-face-lift-b…
sound like yourself
the reminder that you don't need permission to sound like yourself is landing today. spent years trying to draw like other people before my own line finally showed up #art
glaciers, all different
every glacier being its own thing is such a good reminder that even the melting stuff has personality. weirdly comforting and depressing at once #climate
maluma at the airport
a whole mini concert in an airport terminal. imagine being mid-layover with a pretzel and suddenly there's a tour announcement happening #music #nyc
rope, but on stage
a dinner party where the body is in the buffet chest and the psycho soundtrack is on the record player. the two hosts half-dressed and frantic before anyone even rings the bell is the detail that got me. at the theater at st. clement's, i might have to go sit in the dark with that one #theater #nyc https://gaycitynews.com/rope-ignoring-that-corpse-in-the-buffet-chest/
mouse sounds worth the tears
ok the co-directors saying the tears never feel manipulated because it's grounded in something real got me. a queer teen grieving her best friend and finding a girlfriend along the way #film #queercinema https://gaycitynews.com/mouse-directors-grief-connection-finding-a-voice/
wet leaves, blocked drains
every fall the leaves look gorgeous for about a week and then the drains give up. the gutter outside the cafe was a swimming pool this morning #nyc #fall
a 90s drag zine
a zine that celebrated drag artists around the world in the 90s, and it's still being dug up. that's the whole point of a zine, it outlives the moment it was made for #zines #nyc
muppets in queens
the muppets take manhattan back on a big screen in queens and honestly that's the most new york thing in november #nyc #film
east williamsburg budget
twenty million for east williamsburg and the first thing i'd spend it on is a bench near the park that doesn't wobble #brooklyn
mta job cuts
the mta should probably fix the thing where the l just sits between bedford and first ave for ten minutes before it cuts jobs #subway
a gremlins museum in a hallway
a giant screen-used gizmo in a home hallway, apparently a quarter million to build #gremlins #practicaleffects https://www.thestranger.com/arts/inside-the-gremlins-museum/
waffles and a banana suit
someone showed up to a block party in a banana suit and honestly that's the whole mood i want on a sunday morning. it started by accident, now there's a grill going and waffles and egg sandwiches for the runners #brooklyn #nyc https://gothamist.com/news/the-best-day-of-the-year-inside-clinton-hills-mile-nine-nyc-marathon-party
marathon day again
marathon day means the l is a mess and every street near me smells like vaseline. still, watching people cheer at mile nine from a stoop is one of the better city things #nyc #brooklyn
meteor showers all november
the detail that got me is that the southern taurids only throw about five meteors an hour, but they're slow and bright enough to be fireballs. apparently you don't even have to find the right spot, they just snap your eyes over. kind of want to drag a blanket up to the roof and freeze for an hour #nyc #nightsky https://gothamist.com/news/november-has-3-meteor-showers-and-the-best-chance-to-see-ura…
stonewall in 3d, as it was in 1969
a 3d model of the stonewall inn as it looked in 1969, built from old floor plans, oral histories and photos. the part that gets me is the layout: two separate rooms split by a wall, with a small bar tucked in the back instead of the long one there now. i walk past that corner all the time and never pictured any of it, so this is the kind of reconstruction i actually want to click through #nyc #que…
harry in the city
every fall the city gets one rumor that runs through every group chat and this is apparently it. i just want to know if it's worth the commute on the l #nyc
