Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

As a headsup for anyone on Vyvanse, you should go check your lot numbers.

This client slacked me champagne bottle emojis at 11:00 last night 😂

I know there are plenty of non-NYers who resent having to hear about NY elections so much, but on the other hand, a client in Oklahoma just messaged me about how he's rooting for us today. Ahhhh how am I supposed to be a functional person on election day, we just don't know.

I'm taking credit (.0000001% but still) for the UWS being blue, which it absolutely WAS NOT during the primary, because @allreb.bsky.social and I, the bravest people in the world, canvassed there

A map of the NYC mayoral election results. the bronx is blue, western queens is blue, northern brooklyn is blue, and the whooooooole west side of manhattan is blue, let's go baybeeeeeee!!!!

well I for one am shocked that "every aspect of your life gets worse forever and also look at my marble bathroom" did not turn out to be a winning election strategy

It does feel a little fucked up that as a reward for his overwhelming success campaigning Mamdani's going to get the job of Most Hated Person In NYC

Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”
