Joining @muppybean.bsky.social's successful "poop bag in tree" found on the other side of the Hudson, we have the new art installation of "this small probably-Amazon package stuck on the front door light." How did it get there. It is ten feet up.
A brick building exterior features a doorway with the number "265" displayed. A decorative wall-mounted light fixture is visible, partially covered with a plastic bag. To the right of the door, there's an intercom system with a wooden panel.

OK, I love you. My colleagues at the HS for Math, Science and Engineering at CCNY love you. Will you marry my colleague and his fiancee, who tried (and failed) to get an appointment to get married at City Hall on Oct. 16? I know you're pretty busy, but I thought I'd ask, anyway.... ;)

Cripple
And if you are disabled, and even if you're not right now, there will come a time in your life where you become a Cripple. A being built of rage and bitterness and love and compassion. Vexed and spiteful, surging and furious, as an until now calm ocean amidst a fierce hurricane.
A life of languishing in the margins.
Gabapentin and Naltrexone and Baclofen and Ambien and Lamotrigine and Tramadol.
Barely scraping by on mutual aid, perpetually looking for a curb cut, forever unable to access the top floor of that one shop, because they only have stairs.The Cripple. The one whose joints creak like a door hinge in a shed that has stood for generations. The one they call wheelchair bound, ignoring the fact that you are not imprisoned, but rather freed. Those whose collection of canes with bespoke prints could feed the gaping maw of an art gallery for a month. You who are perpetually fatigued, and yet still find the energy to love beyond all reason.
A Cripple is furious, and of otherworldly beauty when measured by the soul. Their work ethic exceeds the rest of the world by orders of magnitude, and all that energy and tenacity is spent nearly exclusively on remaining alive.This will be you one day. Your body will ache, your joints and spine and brain will fuck themselves up horribly, and your medication list will rival a fantasy novel in length. And at that time, you will be happy that you fought for us.

I met an actual shaved poodle today. Well, a shaved labradoodle. He is a trainee for Caring Canines at a nearby hospital (where I met him). He had a Puppy-Typical Incident and had to be shaved except for his tail which still has a big ol' floof on the end. I told him he was doing great.

Everyone! Please give me your favorite US tea shops, bonus for those with NYC tasting rooms or who let you order samples online. I am hunting a loose leaf green tea for people who don't like green tea. Two of the four people are also allergic to mint so have to be extra careful.

My husband is extremely talented at tarot readings; I wonder if anyone would buy them over the internet to help fund our rent and maybe some groceries? Like, the man is real good at the thing and he and his long-running deck have some incredible interpretation vibing. I'm okay, but he trained me.

I don’t remember whose insight this is, but it blew my mind when I first read that to understand American history you have to get that race law was designed to increase the number of enslavable people (one-drop rule) and decrease the number of claimants to indigenous land (blood quantum)
Jamelle Bouie writes: yeah this is a separate conversation but one of the things that hasn’t quite bubbled up from scholarship into mainstream thinking is that american slavery was a system centered principally on reproduction. forced birth for capital accumulation is what it was

Woke up again crying so I'm gonna say something after all. When your friend with stage IV cancer isn't around in a while you fear the worst ... and then it's confirmed. The part of me that wants to believe in an afterlife hopes my best girl Tori is welcoming Jessie. They'd have been good friends.

Still not sure on this, but the hard decision if I do get the contract: - Enough to set it all aside and have 6 months of rent but be able to afford literally nothing else, as now, or - 3 months of rent + new glasses + maybe fixing one of my six broken teeth, but then housing insecure again Which?

Everyone cross your paws, I might have a 12 week contract that pays SIGNIFICANT DOLLARS. If chosen I will be dying of exhaustion for 3 months but health tech will be improving and I will be making many months of rent in not as many months.
