amazing piece but basically woke up in the middle of the night wondering about the unanswered question here: if book freak richard hell has been in the same wee spot since '74, what does he do when his shelves are full? does he have storage spaces like verlaine? does he deaccession at the strand? #nyc #books

"One thing that’s never changed is this rent-stabilized apartment, where Mr. Hell, now 76, spends his days surrounded by poetry and literature.

Good morning from Harlem
#Photography #GoodMorning #Sunrise #NYC

Looking through an arched window fifty-three minutes after sunrise the orange sun is just above the buildings on the right and the slate blue sky is slashed with several dramatic lines of grey clouds above the horizon. Pointed roofs of Harlem brownstones are silhouetted across the street, and a taller apartment building can be seen in the distance. The window is grimy on the bottom.

It remains silly that the "express" F train switches to its old routing on weekends (stopping at queensbridge instead of court st), despite being slower to do so and also confusing af for riders. Make it make sense.

If you imagine #NYC police as Cartman (from South Park) doing the whole "respect mah authoritah!" bit, the behavior of the NYPD around the snowballs incident makes complete sense. It's not that anyone was hurt, nor was there any damage, but their fragile egos just can't handle not having their authority respected. Even when they do completely dumb shit like wandering into the m…

The NYPD's dragnet against revelers who took part in the viral snowball fight in Washington Square Park on February 23 has now nabbed a second New Yorker—this time, a teenager.

On Wednesday morning, 18-year-old East Harlem resident Eric Wilson Jr. turned himself in at his local precinct, and was arraigned yesterday on misdemeanor charges of obstructing government administration and harassment in the second degree, according to the Manhattan DA's office. Following the snowball fight, the NYPD…

And here is the mother’s message in the original Spanish:
Hola mi nombre es Karol Fuentealba. Soy mamš de Jeremías, 18 años, Emiliano, 17, y Mía de 4 añitos. Vivo en Queens, New York, junto an mis hijos. Hace algunos años tomé una de las decisiones mšs difíciles de mi vida: dejar mi país Chile 🇨🇱 para buscar un futuro mšs seguro para mis hijos. Durante años estuve expuesta al maltrato físico y psicológico de parte del padre de mis hijos. Empezar de nuevo en un país diferente no ha sido fšcil. Hemos tenido que enfrentar muchos desafíos, momentos de incertidumbre y sacrificios.pero cada día sigo luchando con Esperanza, por qué lo único anhelo es poder darle a mis hijos una vida digna segura y llena de oportunidades. Hoy estoy tratando de reunir el dinero necesario para poder obtener nuestros permisos de trabajo y mis documentos. Para muchas personas puede parecer algo simple, pero para mí significa todo: significa poder trabajar legalmente, poder ahorrar para vivir con tranquilidad fuera del refugio que actualmente nos encontramos hace 8 meses y asegurar la estabilidad y el futuro de mis hijos. He logrado ahorrar una parte con mucho esfuerzo pero me falta completar el monto necesario antes de la fecha límite. Actualmente tengo 10 días para reunir ese monto que son 2,240 por los 4 y tengo reunido 700. Por eso con mucha humildad y con el corazón abierto quiero pedir ayuda. Cualquier apoyo, por pequeño que sea puede marcar una gran diferencia para nosotros. Incluso compartir este mensaje ya es una manera de ayudarnos. Cada gesto de solidaridad nos acerca un poco mšs a la estabilidad y al sueño de construir un futuro mejor para mi familia. Gracias de todo corazón por tomarse el tiempo de leer mi historia y por cualquier apoyo que pueda brindarnos. Tu ayuda significa esperanza para mí y mi familia.

Here is the message from the mother of this family:
(Translated from Spanish)
Hi, my name is Karol Fuentealba. I’m a mom to Jeremías, 18 years old, Emiliano, 17, and Mía, 4 years old. I live in Queens, New York, together with my children. A few years ago I made one of the hardest decisions of my life: leaving my country Chile 🇨🇱 to find a safer future for my kids. For years I was exposed to physical and psychological abuse from the father of my children. Starting over in a different country has not been easy. We’ve had to face many challenges, moments of uncertainty, and sacrifices but every day I keep fighting with hope, because the only thing I long for is to be able to give my children a dignified, safe life full of opportunities.
Today I am trying to raise the money needed to obtain our work permits and my documents. For many people this might seem like something simple, but for me it means everything: it means being able to work legally, to save up to live in peace outside of the shelter where we have been for the past 8 months, and to secure the stability and future of my children. I have managed to save a part of it with great effort, but I still need to complete the amount before the deadline to resubmit. I currently have 10 days to raise that amount, which is $2,240, and I have saved up $700. That is why, with great humility and an open heart, I want to ask for help. Any support, no matter how small, can make a big difference for us. Even sharing this message is already a way to help us. Every gesture of solidarity brings us a little closer to stability and to the dream of building a better future for my family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read my story and for any support you may be able to offer us. Your help means hope for me and my family.

Darkness, where all you can see in the darkness is a set of three lantern lights on a black pole. The lanterns are old-timey looking, with yellow light glowing through the glass lantern windows. Really only two lanterns are visible, with the third being behind the pole. There is white snow piled on top of the lanterns, and also covering the arms of the lanterns, and also slightly covering the pole. There's also snow falling (blurry) around the lanterns. It's both spooky and beautiful.

Me: "pretty much, yep!"

Brooklyn had in 2008, but also—finally!—bidets in those aforementioned five bathrooms.

"We will be installing a few bidets into Gracie Mansion," Mamdani said on Tuesday, adding with a laugh, "That's an aspirational hope; we'll see if we can get in done."

If installing a bidet is "aspirational," where does that leave universal child care?

Perhaps Mamdani is referring to the cost of buying five bidets—the TOTO Washlet S5 (the one I own) currently retails for a cool $587.70 on BidetKing.com, …
