All right, who's coming to Roosevelt Island to look for this wild turkey with me??

hellgatenyc.com/astoria-wild...
A beautiful and majestic wild turkey walks along a Manhattan sidewalk. Her reflection is visible in the window of the building behind her.w A screenshot from the linked article that reads, "Over the last few days, perhaps tired of Midtown (who wouldn't be), Astoria has decamped to the leafy and worm-rich environs of Roosevelt Island."

The city can't pay for any of these things that actually benefit people, yet somehow Eric Adams can find endless amounts of money for police overtime 🤔
A screenshot from a Gothamist newsletter with bullet points. The bullet points read: "Advocates for New York city seniors are warning that dozens of centers for older adults could close if Mayor Adams' proposed budget cuts go through. The Main Chance drop-in center, a 35-year-old hub in Midtown that offers homeless New Yorkers a place to rest and eat, will likely shut down this summer if the city ends its contract with the organization. The non-profit GrowNYC closed its Fort Greene Farmers' Market community composting sites on Saturday, marking the organization's latest site closure following Mayor Adams' elimination of funding for community composting."

Forgot to mention this in my original post, but I am available to pet sit in NYC for cats and small pets (rabbits, mice/rats, lizards, snakes, etc.) I just can't do overnight stays because I also have to take care of my cat.

TCAF is coming up so please tell your friends!

I am looking for work and could really use some help. Any leads you can give me would be greatly appreciated as would sharing this post. 🙏

See pics for more info and also a cat tax.
Hi friends! As some of you know, I've been looking for a new job for... awhile, and I could really use some help. If anyone has any leads they can give me, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm looking for a job that is either in NYC or fully remote and am also open to part time/freelance work. I'll post more about my experience in the comments, so you can get an idea of what I'm looking for. If you don't have any leads, but you know someone who might, feel free to share this info. Please help me keep putting cat food on the table! TY! TLDR: I'm looking for jobs in admin/data entry/shipping or something related, and am open to staying in the art world or doing something outside of it For the past 18 years I've been working in art galleries, mostly as a Registrar. I have tons of database experience (20+ years) and am well-versed in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook) and Google Suite. I have tons of experience with domestic & international shipping, including dealing with sales tax, customs, and VAT regulations. I allso have some bookkeeping experience - like, probably not enough to be a full-on bookkeeper but enough to be an assistant bookkeeper. This includes experience with Quickbooks. I'm not an expert, but I do know Photoshop and a little bit of InDesign. Oh yeah, and I can draw too. So basically I'm looking for an administrative/data entry/shipping position or something adjacent to that, and I am totally open to doing something outside of the art world. That's just where most of my experience is, but I have a lot of transferable skills. Some things I don't want to do: sales, anything that involves working with children, a job that requires a lot of travel, and I would really prefer not to answer phones or deal with the general public but I CAN do that if necessary. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me! Please let me know if you have any questions. A picture of my cat with her face very close to the camera. She's a brown tabby with a little white spot on her nose and a white chest. Her eyes are green, and she is extremely cute.

I literally just found out about Participatory Budgeting, and I feel like more people should know about it.

If your NY City Council district is participating you can vote to decide how some of the budget is spent. You can vote online thru April 14th, and it's super easy!

Happy Solstice! It’s officially winter now, but it will also stay light a little longer each day (and some of us really need that). ☀️🙌

One thing I've learned from my deep dive into NIN is that MTV's censorship policies in the '90s were wildly inconsistent

Shit & piss got bleeped but bitch & whore didn't. They wouldn't show Trent's hands bound above his head in the Closer video but showing him with a ball gag in his mouth was a-ok

It's my least favorite day of the year
A meme from The Simpsons showing an angry-looking Lunchlady Doris looking up with twilight behind her. Her dialogue reads: Eternal Darkness, Well, that's just great. Smithers stands behind her looking drunk and miserable.

Her Potato Bay Couch Puddle side really comes out during the summer
A tabby and white cat lies on her side on a charcoal colored couch. One side off her face is smushed against the couch, and she looks at the camera with half-open eyes. Her floofy white belly and three little white paws are visible. She looks super cute.
