people say new yorkers are unfriendly but twice in the past week- including tonight - there have been accidents on my street and groups of neighbors have immediately assembled to make sure the person is safe and okay and has their belongings & medical care no fuss no muss

i was going out for a smoke and feeling lonely and 3 seconds later me and 2 other strangers were lifting a revel scooter off a guy who flipped over, getting him an uber to the hospital & securing his stuff. no drama just gentle firm action these other ladies were incredible

honestly being an agoraphobe perching on a corner doesnt necessarily preclude you from seeing or partaking in dramatic rescues in nyc, it turns out

i never wanna leave this city

1. i did not want to run because i feel like a sadsack full of sadshit. i ran anyway. like i had glue on my feet, but i ran.
2. i weigh "strangers gently cheer me on when they see me running" million pounds. its very embarrassing.
3. still, 3.5 miles.

you really dont need to cheer when you see a fat person running. you really dont

to all the people defending this practice, for some reason, 1) the devil doesnt need more advocates 2) you can also leave me alone

the show: jürgen likes to play the trombone with his family to serenade the brighton waterfront and his rabbit, humphrey.

tom runs a model train business.

also matt deadpan singing the flintstones theme song in german ("yabba dabba doo zeit") was a pure genius moment

i wanna fuck the sexy greek man. im also sad that we're lacking two stock characters, the english rose and the chaos gay

is a wall of hanging knives too threatening do you think? or cool

I guess I could do a wall of hanging knives on condition of resigning myself to a life of celibacy

the context is i bought a mystery box of knives to do this silly unboxing video and a limited number of visitors take me up on the offer of a free knife and now i just have a weird amount of knives in a paper bag under my bed

it turns out running in the surf makes me obscenely happy. even just 25 minutes / 1.5 miles! i am happy i get to be alive and do these things, happy for a mile i couldn't run a few months ago.
