THE CITY @thecity.nyc · 9d

Across the city, more than 164,000 New Yorkers flocked to the polls this weekend for the first two days of early voting, according to the Board of Election, a staggering turnout that nearly matches the entire early voting count in 2021.

Every time I pull into the Atlantic Ave B/Q platform, I can't help but hear the voice of a long time subway conductor, who, when announcing the connections, would finish up his spiel with "And the Loooooooooong Island Rail-road".

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

This weekend's marches did stir the pot a little bit causing that very reactionary *shit post*, but he is an entertainer and would have found another way to get a laugh from his court. Just a lot of energy from 7M to further highlight his crassness.

We used to point this out a lot in our neighborhood FB group. People would put up a post about, say, the trash and the dumping. The act of posting made the neighbor feel like they did something about the trash but in fact they did nothing actionable.

talia jane ❤️‍🔥 @taliajane.bsky.social · 16d

sums it up. headlines on crowd sizes and the feeling that maybe something happens (somewhere else) aren’t action, and getting a bunch of people to show up to a party for nothing isn’t organizing.

find your people and build something real.

“Although there aren’t available statistics on how many N.F.L. players have made nursing their second career, The Times spoke to five current and former athletes about their decision. Some are still playing and plan to pursue nursing when they leave… while others made the shift after retirement.”

Unless you got up everyday and had to face it I can see how the scope of devastation was lost. I also think the pressure of acutely losing independence without that context made many quite bitter. Leaving jobs to homeschool kids, losing jobs, no vacations, just the four walls of where you lived.

Every 20 North/South blocks is one mile. So if they are traveling north to South that is 1.5 miles x 70 ft wide (average width of street and sidewalk) of humans who showed up.
