I’ve come to realize adulting makes you crave genuine companionship, whether in a bestfriend or lover. You just want to have one person u can rely on through it all.
Nobody should have to go through these things alone.
a lot of people saying “it’s easier said than done!” and it is..if you don’t respect yourself. married or not. kids or not, you do not HAVE to continuously go through bullshit that you don’t want to go through w a person who shows you they dgaf 😵💫 (unless it’s life or death)
So you mean to tell me Erica went through all that emotional turmoil, Safaree was affecting her mental and physical, having break downs on national tv cause of this nigga. And then she still keeps having sex with him ??*STARES BLANKLY* yeah ion wanna hear no more crocodile tears
You're not serious about ending homelessness if you don't address the systemic barriers into housing.
Application fees, credit checks, making 3x the rent, no pets, giant deposits.
It's hard for a housed person to get into an apt. - imagine how hard it is for someone in a tent.
H.W., Labradoodle (15 y/o), Dekalb Ave. & Washington Park, Brooklyn, NY • “His name is from There Will be Blood. He’s the type of dog that people who are not dog people are deeply akin to. I didn’t grow up with dogs, and the second my mom met him, she was obsessed with him.”
the “I don’t owe anyone anything” has fundamentally harmed the way we have viewed friendship is + has made it more transactional imo. ur friends are your community and we should be supporting and loving them fully.
Sam, Pomsky (8 y/o), Fort Greene Park, Brooklyn, NY • “He’s a Pomsky, believe it or not – I just found that out two months ago. I also thought he was six, but now he’s eight. He’s a rescue from one of the Carolinas. He’s really mellow and sweet.”
Obi, Samoyed (2 y/o), Greenwich & Barrow St., New York, NY • “He has a stash of our clothing by the door. His favorite activity is trying to take our socks off. We rescued him from the Chinese meat trade.”
Georgia, Great Pyrenees/Labrador Retriever mix (3 y/o), Washington Square Park, New York, NY • “She’s a rescue from Kentucky – I’ve had her for five months. She’s very calm, and she loves going to pet stores. Loves to shop, loves to spend money.“
Gucci, Jack Russell Terrier/Poodle mix (8 y/o), 35th St. & 31st Ave., Queens, NY • “We got him from my sister-in-law. Originally he was somebody else’s dog, but then she got him, and now we have him. He’s really hyper.“
Goose, Australian Shepherd (2 y/o), Fort Greene Park, Brooklyn, NY • “She barks in her sleep – we call her ‘Underwater Goose’. If the door opens she’ll just immediately grab a toy and wait by the door. Like, it’s just a package… but what if they come in?!”
Gallito, Giant Schnauzer (2 y/o), Carlton & Willoughby Ave., Brooklyn, NY • “I’m his walker – I’ve been with him since he was a baby. Once we’re back in the house, he’s just a big cuddler. He has a sister who’s a year younger, and she’s like a little muppet.“
Duchess, Pit Bull mix (10 y/o), Hicks & Pierrepont St., Brooklyn, NY • “We got her at nine months with three legs. She’s lazy and she loves being belly to the audience on the couch.” A rescue via @nyanimalrescue
