In the subway, a man was wearing a Kinky Boots Broadway show jacket whose back was adorned by what I expect is the show tagline: “Just be who you want to be”.

I guess it means well and makes sense in a fictional narrative that I believe has a happy ending, but the “just” qualifier makes it rather callous for the people who are currently trying, and whose society are making it more difficult than it should be or that this “just” implies.

On the other hand, a woman in the same train was wearing a bead bracelet reading “Happy Bitch” and I 100% support this message.

Old mural ad in Brooklyn:

You haven’t done this dental work
Because you are afraid
But you still need it
Come to <practice>
We cater to cowards

The other day I was walking on a #Brooklyn sidewalk when I saw a man throw some crumbs on the floor for the pigeons to eat. I was starting to get annoyed when he produced a handmade net catcher and with a swift movement betraying a long experience, caught a couple of bids attracted by the food.

I have no idea what he did with them (eat? sell?) but I’m glad he’s doing this service to the city 🫡

I will never stop to marvel at the string of historical political decisions that led to the naming of the "Interfaith Dental Center" I drove past in Brooklyn today.

I just saw a New York City squirrel with a dead mouse in its mouth looking at me defiantly like “What are you going to do about it, punk? Nothing, that’s what you’re going to do about it.”.

This is why I dub them “combat squirrels”. #OnlyInNYC

Living in the formerly-named New Amsterdam colony means that when I read “Van Owners” I’m first thinking about a Dutch last name.
