Tell me your bagel order and I will tell you *based on NYC cultural expectations* if you have won or lost your election for political office in NYC.

One of my favorite things about NYC is whenever anyone runs for office here they are required to disclose their bagel order.

Yeah I am always happy to have more women in the world

TERFs aside I think a lot of women know that being a woman can really suck shit and anyone who wants to be one enough to transition must really be one

I think the sign is just a turtle eating a concha (hence "Concha see?") but I don't have any context for why there is a turtle eating a concha specifically.

But these, to me, are tennis shoes first and sneakers second

Also as a note on regional terms for footwear: normally I call athletic shoes sneakers, but if they are thinner, more lightweight ones closer to Chuck Taylors I mentally classify them as tennis shoes. I don’t know what this says about me.

I think the Weiss tenure is going to be brief

Prem Thakker ツ @premthakker.bsky.social · 5h

Update: Bari Weiss’s first pitch at CBS — a roundtable with Antony Blinken, Mike Pompeo, and Hillary Clinton that ended up being a virtual interview with Clinton & Condoleezza Rice — has about 150 viewers on YouTube.

Added with the 24/7 CBS stream, it’s just over 1200 viewers.

This is funny because my sister’s Tigrayan mother-in-law seems to only cook meat

If anyone is looking for vegan recs in central Brooklyn the big two I love are Ras Plant Based and Aunts et Uncles, tho there are others I still have to try!

Lux "Nightmare" Alptraum @luxalptraum.com · 6h

Well that’s often more vegetarian than vegan (though I think Jains are vegan?)

It’s funny that people assume all vegans are white because all the vegan restaurants near my apartment are Black owned
