Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:

The president is a pedophile. Half of Hollywood is in the Epstein files. You can’t breath the air, you can’t drink the water, some of the food is contaminated, and thousands of people and animals have been affected by the New World screwworm in 2026…and I STILL gotta go to work! I’m tired.

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc. Choices. Simple.
Graphic showing a 9 m wide track for metros can move as many people as a 175 m wide, 7 lane road for cars.

“If you can’t cook there are services” “If you can’t support yourself just tell them & get help” “If it were really that bad support would show up” This is internalized ableism. Most of the time, help isn’t available. Support doesn’t come. Disabled people are on their own.

A grim reminder this 4th of July: The US has the highest incarceration rate of any independent democracy on Earth, making it a leader in mass incarceration. Far too many people are locked up in the “land of the free.”
Graph showing that the U.S. incarcerates people at a rate of 614 per 100,000. This is at least 4x higher than any other founding NATO countries.

So, if your immediate response to someone complaining about the material conditions of their lives is to tell them to eliminate a luxury or a small pleasure, you might consider shutting the fuck up and taking a hard look at your values. Alternatively, you could fuck off into the sun. Either works.

To be clear, eliminating things like the hypothetical avocado toast will do fuck all to change the fact that assholes in power have created a world where few of us have the material stability to enjoy life without a nagging thought of what it will cost us, or how we might afford it.

Black text on a white page that reads:

🚨EXTREME HEAT WATCH IN NYC🚨
 
Wednesday through at least Saturday, heat indices will surpass 100 degrees, potentially reaching 109 on Friday.
 
These are extremely dangerous conditions, and New Yorkers must plan now to stay safe and help their neighbors do the same.
 
The best way to prepare for extreme heat is to identify a safe, air-conditioned place you can spend the hot days.
 
If you don't have air-conditioning at home, plan to stay with family and friends or visit a free, public cooling center. Beginning Wednesday, the City will activate hundreds of free locations across the city. 

Find one nearest you, including accessible and pet-friendly options, by visiting nyc.gov/beattheheat or by calling 311.
 
Once you have your heat plan, check in on your neighbors — especially seniors, outdoor workers, and people with chronic health illnesses — to make sure they have one too.
 
Under the City's Heat Emergency Plan, the City has been planning since last week for what may be a historic heat wave. We will continue to share heat safety guidance and emergency updates throughout the week.

Sign up for emergency alerts by texting NOTIFYNYC to 692-692 and visit nyc.gov/beattheheat for more guidance.
