I really don't want to harp on this person but I really need my English teacher friends to hammer home to their students the idea that you are the Reader, a particular and vital role in the literary world, and not the Author nor the Characters.
I remember the opening of the Astor Place Starbucks lamented in 1995 for ushering in the blandification of the neighborhood.
I remember the closure of the Astor Place Starbucks lamented in 2024 for marking the loss of an iconic neighborhood third place.
The WNBA needs to put an end to these people targeting and trying to provoke their athletes. No other league would allow this kind of nonsense. It should have never gotten this far to begin with.
The mother of one of the girls who was attacked by Seattle Storm co-owner and players speaks out
She says they were told political signs aren’t allowed however leftist activists were allowed to bring signs in while they weren’t.
Her 16-year-old daughter was so excited for her dream to sit court side and left crying after being attacked.
Leftists will literally destroy a girl’s dream if she doesn’t want boys in her bathroom and sports teams.
The confusion being that a lot people living here full time have been using their vacation/other family’s homes out of the city to pay cheaper car insurance or skip out on city income taxes, and now they can’t update their license at the DMV in time to submit for an exemption
Let's be honest here. A lot of the frenzy about the pied-a-terre tax list is not on behalf of helpless little old ladies.

Now those people have to choose. Income tax or pied-a-terre? Do you live here or not?
fascinated by people who proudly feel the need to announce their bigoted views but are utterly appalled by being identified or associated w/bigotry. all social dynamics (even those that are conservative) it seems are organized around performances of liberal civility and moral righteousness in all of its fragility
seeing my super smart & capable mutuals who can dissect the most dense critical theory and history fall for blue check engagement slop from accounts based in nigeria & india gives me so much empathy for old people falling for whatsapp/facebook misinformation. nobody is immune 💔
Hi @phoebebridgers in your new song Lost Boys when you sing “On a motor bike, doing 90 in a 55” can you change the lyric to “In a Honda Accord doing the speed limit” for your fans that drive Honda Accords and drive the speed limit? Thanks in advance. Much love, cait
replies here are very telling....feel like people have been using it as a stand-in for "boring white people" as if chicago and detroit aren't places in the midwest that are urban, diverse and culturally rich
