What’s up guys? Please follow me on here, I need an incentive to make the big switch over from Twitter. If I can’t engage meaningfully on here then I can’t really justify being on.

I feel like this was the greatest celebrity post of all time because you initially want to make fun of it because we’re all irony poisoned jerks but the sheer scale of human compassion overwhelms it and you end up going yes Vincent I also want to help a pig see the stars for the first time

We won in civil court this afternoon. We will have to pay $1,000 in rent. We live in Williamsburg and so that is essentially the best deal in the housing market, next to free. But I’d much rather pay to have privacy, rights, and freedom.

My brain just forgot that it’s almost Thanksgiving Day. But my body yearns for the candied yams and turkey stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy and pie.

Stuff you should just have around if you have a sensory processing sensitive child:
1) shaving cream
2) glue
3) borax
4) cornstarch
5) lots of containers
6) food coloring or 🎨

It’s all very cheap and the fun your kid will have is insane for the value. They’re like cats with cardboard boxes…

I’ve been bamboozled into making a gigantic mess by Arya. First she cutely manipulated me into getting cornstarch to make a non-Newtonian liquid (oobleck) — then slime. I cannot tell you how much of a wreck my clothes and room are. But, can I tell you something? I had too much fun 🥹

A city known for producing stars just lost a project to let New Yorkers see them.

The Amateur Astronomy Association, a nonprofit volunteer group, will no longer be following through on its plan to bring the city’s first free public observatory to Jerome Park.
Plan for City’s First Public Celestial Observatory Comes Crashing Down
The Amateur Astronomers Association said the city’s demands for its insurance coverage proved unworkable.
