"𝑉𝑜𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑖𝑠 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑎 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑒. 𝐼𝑡'𝑠 𝑎 𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑚𝑜𝑣𝑒." - 𝑅𝑒𝑏𝑒𝑐𝑐𝑎 𝑆𝑜𝑙𝑛𝑖𝑡

found an old to-do list, part evergreen and part of its time:
-- get Time Warner Cable to remove weird cords from my room
-- buy more Mason jars, because they’re really cool and multifunctional
-- go through clothes and get rid of things. contemplate buying new, better things.

Brooklynites: with SNAP benefits expiring as of today, here are two ways you can help feed neighbors: donate to CHiPS, the food pantry/ women's shelter in Park Slope: www.chipsonline.org. Or leave food in the community fridge on 6th Street between 4th and 5th avenues, next to the Postmark Cafe.
