When it’s cold in December, frigid for the first time in the season and as the solstice approaches you decide to clear out the fridge/pantry, what better bowl to conjure than Pete’s Berbere Curried Bean Porridge..? #DoIt #Hearty #PlantBased #Stew #Slowcook #Spicy #Vegan #Winter #Hashtag #Again

The Spanish & Portuguese Synagogue on CPW is the current home of the oldest Jewish congregation in the US, established in 1654 by a group of Sephardic Jews, emigrants from then Dutch Brazil. My city, my nation, hotbed of diasporic fecundity. #Diversity #Thanksgiving #AutumnInNewYork #LoveThyNeighbor

On Bowery, just below Grand, the Southeast Asian grocery I frequent for sauces/condiments (Chinkiang vinegar, Thai chili basil, Sriracha, Tom Yum paste). Priced well, and I always discover a novelty (to me!) to throw into rotation. If you cook, take a look. #NYC #Chinatown #BonAppétit #Xinmòi

One season, one holiday at a time, please. Don’t rush me past the russet and gold, the amber and tawn. There will be plenty of time for tinsel and flake. Relax. Wait a while. This moment is precious. The world is in molt. We are divine. Why hurry? #NYC #AutumnInNewYork #LesFeuillesMortes

I first took notice of Zohran #Mamdani early in the year, when his campaign was just gathering speed. In the spring, I took this photo in #Chinatown, struck by the many communities energized by this guy, and wondered how far he’d go. Today, we find out. #NYC #MrMayor #VOTE

Early voting begins today in New York City. As a long-time resident with no party affiliation, I will be glad to cast my ballot for this gifted young man with a vision, a purpose, and a bond with New Yorkers of variegated stripe. Here’s to a brighter tomorrow. #VOTE #NYC #MayorMamdani #LetsGO

Man, remember when this was the ethos of a nation and not just a recreational equipment cooperative? Those were the days…and, we can get ‘em back. It starts with you, your neighbor, the truth, kindness, respect. You know, the shit all the great oracles and messiahs preach. #GetREAL #theAntidote

Should you run to the new Ruth Asawa exhibit @momanyc.bsky.social? You might do better to stride with purpose…but get there. It’s an extraordinary testament to ingenuity, rigor, form, practice. Astonishing productivity. She was a freaking badass. #Art #theAntidote #MOMA #DoIt #EveryDay #RuthAsawa

Every October, I wonder whether I will find the #Nobel laureate already in my library. Thrilled that the master Hungarian, László #Krasznahorkai, will grow his brood of readers enchanted, shocked, mystified, soothed. (Streak: 8/10 over the recent decade.) #Tsundoku #Library @nobelprize.bsky.social

Weekly harvest of sprouts: mung, fava bean, yellow pea and French lentil, radish, clover, alfalfa, and the king of sulforaphane, mighty broccoli. Care for yourselves well, patriots. The collapse of the American Republic is no fucking joke. #plants #eatyourveggies #vegan #nutrition #homegarden #DIY

I love to sit in Theodore Roosevelt Park at the AMNH, where this memorial column to Alfred Nobel stands, etched with the names of every American to be awarded a Nobel. I know that this is one place in New York where our current president will never be found…and that brings me a peace which I prize.

I picked up this copy of Lewis’ clairvoyance @strandbookstore during the quaint years of Bush II. That it should happen in this greatest of nations is absurd, tragic, pathetic, and terrifying. There is nothing #American about any of this. #RESIST #NYC #EPluribusUnum #WeThePeople #BuckTheHuckster

Today is a day I commune with my dad, and this belt I’m wearing is his, from the ‘70s, the buckle commemorating the year we declared our #American independence. It’s backwards in this pic, because of the way I shot it, but also as a beacon of distress. #RESIST #Patriots #MyDadRocked #Love #NYC #USA

Ladies, if you’re looking for a patriotic companion to ride out the storm, find someone who will make a seaweed wrap with freshly grown broccoli & radish sprouts (sulforaphanes!), cucumber, avocado, tofu, onion, and a red pepper tahini to tie it all together. #vegan #nutrition #LetsGO #NYC #USA
