Wall by Aine, whose work is everywhere in Bed Stuy... Not sure if this one is new, but it's the first time I'm noticing.

Sign of life: this grocery store is BLASTING Leona Lewis. Another shopper and I made eye contact as we sang along to "Bleeding Love" (a perfect bop).

My neighborhood route!

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in

Is it fun here or, like, what're we doing? Who has bits and goofs?

(I'm off The Other Apps, so just being nosy.)

Haven’t fired up this app in over a year, so I’m acclimating myself to the ecosystem. What’s the tea?

How do I mute every “X city is better than Y city” conversation, in perpetuity?

Took to the seaside

Letter of recommendation: if you’re like me and just need to watch low-stakes, give-me-less, gentle nothings, might I suggest “Book Club The Next Chapter.” It’s like too-milky tea: indulgent, comforting. It’s set in Italy, the cast is charmingly batty, and there’re oddly a lot of dick jokes.

Please support striking workers in the way they’ve asked for. Instead of a viewer boycott, which they haven’t asked for, can you commit to donating to the strike fund, which they have? Maybe an amount equal to what you pay for streaming each month, for even one of the streamers, if not all?

Oh no I flew too close to the sun aka I had too many open tabs and crashed my computer

Thank god for the group chat 🙏

I've said it before, I'll say it again: if your fav show is on forced hiatus bc of what's going on over in hollywood, the correct framing is "shows are not filming bc studios refuse to pay their writers a living wage, forcing writers to strike" NOT "shows are not filming bc of the writers strike"

No influencers here (yet) so I think I shan’t do more than squat on my username over at Threads.

Cute as hell. Beans for brains. Prince of flops.

Welp

A twink ate his roommate’s chicken tender and it became Twitter discourse™️(???)

I’ve been so offline I learned about the Fire Island chicken tender demon twink from my famously unsocial SO. What is happening.

Awww thank you Julia! ❤️

Who are your fav food writers + editors (and related folk) who’ve migrated over here? Can we have a food writer thread please?

I’ll start with a non-exhaustive list of a few favorites:
@bettina.bsky.social @nigella.bsky.social @nigelslater.bsky.social @nicmiller.bsky.social @joeybear85.bsky.social
@wordloaf.bsky.social

and legacy admissions were outlawed, too?

This is a logical stage in the “anti-woke” backlash, which among prestige writers was in part a reaction to the moderate integration of elite newsrooms, bestseller lists, and major prize recipients

My afternoon treat lately has been a lil parfait of yogurt, matcha, chia seeds, seed butter, granola and sour cherry preserves, and truly it has been like Xanax for my soul. (Packed some for the office today.)

doing numbers on bluesky (20+ likes) feels like making all my buddies at the bar laugh while doing numbers on twitter feels like accidentally alerting The Predator to my location

damn now this is a good skeet
