btw Astoria Bookshop (queer-owned! my former workplace! a beautiful store!) does 10% off for all book club selections so even if you can't join us for a meeting, i still highly recommend grabbing a copy and reading The Call-Out because it's sooo good astoriabookshop.com/item/kJGRmM4...

honestly it is almost comforting that every new york city landlord is like "let's just slap a fresh coat of paint on that leak" and then acts surprised when this happens

trying to figure out a birthday party that doesn’t involve TOO many ppl in my apartment at once (have an easily overwhelmed dog) and i think the solution is to watch Dekalog all day and have friends come over only during their favorite commandment

been thinking about this a lot and want to (again) plug Astoria Food Pantry which will need extra funding to help our neighbors if/when SNAP benefits are cut off. we've already been running out of food faster than usual this month—any donation amount will help! givebutter.com/afp2025

have met with so groups and ~vetted chats~ and orgs etc in the last couple months and nearly every one of these conversations ends with me practically begging them to actually talk to their neighbors who are not on signal
