Ancient crone. She/her. Having a hard time making it through another ROC gray winter and the long winter of the soul we all seem to have entered. Love Lake Ontario but still miss California.
Oh my. When I started reading I thought this was a satire of right-wing racist panic about Mamdani. But no, it’s real. #WaPo is well and truly dead.

I believe it’s the old Hickey-Freeman factory. H-F sold the factory to the current owners and has moved their manufacturing to Mexico.

I know a lot of otherwise intelligent, highly educated people who believe catching or spreading COVID is no big deal because they think it’s essentially harmless, esp. if you’re vaccinated. They assume CVD isn’t a problem because no one in authority tells them it is.

OMG Cuomo is where he is on the ballot because he LOST the Democratic primary (after which he should have dropped out) and had to run on the line of a bogus party he made up

I don't care if they're on the Democratic line, I refuse to vote for anyone who accepts the Conservative Party endorsement.

Teen Vogue was doing such good reporting, I knew this would happen, but hoped it might take a little longer

Because per 2020 census, 8.5 million people live in NYC, about 2.6% of US pop., this race is seen as a bellwether for the direction of Dem party nationally, and MAGA hates NYC. Also, some of us find Mamdani’s joy & positivity life giving.

Plus you know the people who flippantly say "churches should do X" aren't doing any of the volunteer work that sustains congregations, & sure as hell aren't going to volunteer for long shifts washing dishes & chopping vegetables. A wealthy nation shouldn't rely on charity to feed its people.

So clueless. My smallish church has a pastor, a few part-time staff, and a whole lotta volunteers. We do a lot to help our neighbors--but to think we could add a full-time food service operation to the work already needed just to keep the heat on, doors open, and staff paid, is absurd.
