had the best run I’ve done thus far and Strava did not record it and instead of crashing out about it, I’m going to repeat it on Friday. This is me very clearly not crashing out.

❗️NEW: Governor Hochul announced an updated immigration proposal that would give police officers wide discretion to collude with ICE if they claim to have probable cause to detain someone.
This proposal makes a mockery of due process and will endanger countless immigrant New Yorkers.
a couple weeks ago I decided I would start going on runs regularly bc I could feel my brain melting.
we need more & we must demand more. The Legislature has put forward a plan to raise $10 billion to close the NYC deficit, establish a childcare workforce fund & expand the program, keep people housed through vouchers and more. Putting out a plan for 1/20th of that and taking a victory lap is wild.
For years Hochul has resisted calls to raise taxes on the rich - now that the public pressure is insurmountable, she has put forward a plan that is entirely insufficient. For context, $500 million is 8% of the City’s deficits and that’s completely ignoring the needs of the rest of the state.
I love being on vacation I love New Orleans everyone is so nice to me
got a tattoo of a one eyed cat in honor of my one eyed cat (they removed her eye last friday)
Your organizing targets are the people most likely to give you what you want. THAT IS HOW YOU CHOOSE ORGANIZING TARGETS.
got street harassed so much in the last three blocks of my run this morning but also ran my fastest mile yet so, yknow, I’m glad I went on that run.
taking my cat to the vet and she hates being outside except she loves mass transit.
gave the men who are very specifically Not Showtime™️ $5 because it had been soooo long since I had seen anyone dance on the trains. One of them told me I was the 2nd person tonight who had said that.
I committed myself to do something creative alone every few weeks and two weeks ago it was a poetry night and tonight I was not to the Whitney for member night and made some art while someone played classical music and honestly 10/10
"I have no doubt that rich donors are threatening to leave — in the comfort of closed-door fund-raisers...But we’ve heard this around other revenue-raising measures, and those donors are still here."
New York can’t afford not to tax the rich, in @timesunion.com:

walked across the Brooklyn bridge while I took work calls and honestly, fixed my brain. Spring I love you I’m so happy you’re here.
NY also has the highest concentration of wealth anywhere in the country.
We can lift NYers out of poverty by funding public programs (like Medicaid/Medicare, SNAP, childcare, HAVP) & we can afford it if we tax the rich.
Rising poverty is a policy choice @governor.ny.gov. Time to choose sides.
It is being reported on the ground in Cuba that everyone on a ventilator at this hospital died overnight.
As a Cuban, I'm devastated.
I don’t believe in fetishizing productivity!!!! I just love the Pitt and had a lot to do!!!!
started working at 8am when I went to the hardware store to get a key made for the office, had 5.5 hours of scheduled calls, went to a rally in manhattan, took a bunch of unscheduled calls, wrote for 2.5 hours & finished working 8 minutes ago. Watched an episode of the Pitt in between as a treat.
spent a few hours today helping a friend with an academic project and then went to a poetry reading and now I’m doing that thing again (considering grad school)

A friend invited me to go perfume shopping today & I like to buy a scent for the season. I smelled so many wonderful things that I loved but landed on one bottle from a small nyc-based brand and I got home and realized that I own 2 other perfumes from different brands made by the same perfumer
the algorithm for some reason really wants me to go see that volcano and Guatemala and that one beach with the salt basalts in Iceland.
