Photos Showcasing My City

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, and I've heard a lot of misconceptions about my city. This isn't like HONY (which I love, btw), because this isn't about the people of New York. This is a blog about the interactions and the places that we've made....

Anyway if you live in NYC i have resources for parks advocacy, if you wanna reach out
Which may seem small potatoes, but it’s actually a very broad umbrella covering water ways, climate resilience, food security, and more, and I’ve personally found it to be rewarding because you can physically see the good you do, and you can spend time around very good people working together to make a positive change, so if you’re looking for that, and you want to build community, hit me up and I’ll try to get you started

I don’t generally take pictures of people, especially if I haven’t asked, but I need you to know that a shirtless, greased up clown just north of Times Square was blasting his boombox and flexing his tits at people across the street tonight (I presume, because the mask made it hard to tell if it was at us or if he was spaced out and flexing absently to the music)

"He's the first NYC mayor to be indicted while in office, which is saying a lot given that most US history courses have to run through Tammany Hall" - my husband, sending me into hysterics

Today I learned about the Totally Kid Carousel in Harlem NY.
Artist Milo Mottola was inspired by the rush of winning an art contest as a child and wanted to give children in the community that feeling of pride and accomplishment in an even bigger way. Each child whose drawing was chosen for use in the carousel received a $50 savings bond (the Prize the artist won as a child) as well as free rides FOR LIFE!
