NEW: There is a legionnaires cluster on the Upper East Side.

2 cases confirmed so far. But this is very early and more expected.

Zip codes impacted: 10028 & 10128.

If you live, work or have recently visited the two zip codes and have flu-like symptoms contact a health care provider ASAP.

Alito is very obviously retiring, they just jumped the gun posting it. He will be replaced by a 30 year old Federalist society hack who will be on the bench for 40 years.

Again, the results of everyone's actions in 2016 will doom the country for decades and decades.

Lauryn Hill eating off one solo album for almost 30 years is definitely iconic. I give her that lol

I really don’t want to hear anything from anyone when I move. I was here forever and you didn’t try, leave me alone when I’m away 🫩

I love when women go get what they want.
Even if it means they gotta leave their man/bf/husband to get it.

[Rachel Edwards @underthenettle]

if you're ever struggling to make plans with your friends, this works btw

real. courage only gets realised AFTER you have done something. you only feel safer and start trusting yourself more when you risk it all and lose it and get back on your feet faster than last time

re babysitting discourse

we have friends babysit for us all the time. this is our preferred method for one-off or intermittent babysitting because we want our daughter to have close relationships to our friends! also our friends do it for free because they enjoy it, or because it's important to them to form a relationship with her

i know i'm really really lucky to have friends like this, but i also suspect that most people are under-utilizing their friends

here's my advice:
1) when you're pregnant or have a newborn, some people will offer to babysit for you. believe them and take them up on this offer! you also might forget who offered in the haze of newborn sleep deprivation, so keep a list.

the people who offered weren't always our closest friends. some were baby-curious acquaintances (such as couples who were thinking about whether and when to have kids)

2) as your friends get to know your kid, add them to a group chat. we call ours "baby rose entourage." ours is still going strong two years later. 90% of the messages in the group chat are photos of our kid, but 5% are us asking if anyone wants to babysit. the last 5% are our friends riffing and joking around

3) since so many friends have spent time with our daughter, it's rare for someone to babysit alone. that sounds tedious tbh, and probably why babysitters charge $30. @TylerAlterman babysits every week, and he either invites other friends to come hang that evening, or takes her to an event. last week he took her to a gallery showing of his cousin's artwork. @evodevotee grew up in brooklyn, and her mom misses having babies around. so now every few months she picks up our daughter and spends the whole day with her mom and younger sister. they all really love it and have offered to do it continually. our daughter even did her first "sleepover" at their house so that Andrew and I could attend a late night immersive theater show by @puheenix and @personarotator

4) when our daughter was only a few months old, we would host "baby co-working". our friends would come together for a co-working session, and each person would sign up for a one hour timeslot to babysit. at the beginning of the session we would teach everyone how to change diapers and burp her. since we were in the house, whoever was caring for her could come get us if they needed help. this was a good way to ease our friends' nerves around babysitting, and give them a chance to bond with our daughter. i felt like she got higher quality attention than i could have given her, since everyone was really focused for their hour. my friends would serenade her, snuggle her while she napped, or walk her around outside so she could look at things

babies are really cute and silly and charming!! let your friends babysit for you 😊

i just read a post that said "life becomes so beautiful when you realise that one step backwards is also the part of the dance" holyyyy fuckkkkk

[No filter Skin @NoFilterSkin]

If you plan to be together a LONG TIME, get more comfortable saying these ↓

1. "My tone was bad just now. Sorry. You didn't deserve that. Let me try again."

[PAYWALLMEN.COM @ICONOCLASTIAE]

Hating men is the only way to get a good man. If you like men you’ll tolerate anything, if you hate them, only the best will be good enough.

[Annalise Keating 🇲🇦🇧🇷 @Ariannnyy_]

I love Barack, the man is a class act. But what often gets overlooked in the praise he receives is the grit, tenacity, grace, and vision that Michelle brings to the table.

You can’t desire a partner of this caliber without striving to embody those same qualities yourself.
