Apenas mi segundo día en Mastodon. Como hay #MonochromeMonday les comparto esta foto que hice en 1986 con apenas 17 años, siendo estudiante de arte en la Universidad Cooper Union, donde no llevé ningún curso de foto. Para entonces ya tenía 4 años perfeccionando mi propio laboratorio. Sur de Manhattan, NYC, cerca del distrito financiero. Le puse Minos. El Minotauro de especulación y avaricia todavía parecía contenido. Al año siguiente hice mi primera expo individual titulada Madrid-NY-San José. Nunca las subí a FB ni IG. Si quieren ver más de este tipo de trabajo comenten y busco donde escanear mis viejos pedacitos de Tri-X #UrbanExploration #urbanphotography

Neither circumstances nor weather, she determined, would decide either the course or the mood of her day.
If it were rainy, she had an umbrella; and if it were sunny, she had a parasol.
Either way, she knew that this was going to be a great day.

The real victims of #EricAdams #NYC #corrupt #bargain might go to #Gitmo.
We aren’t talking enough about the real victims in the shocking quid pro quo that’s likely to end the #criminal case against New York’s corrupt Mayor Eric Adams. His promise to allow President #Trump #immigration #cops free rein in America’s largest city is #terrorizing essential New Yorkers that their mayor should be protecting. https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/commentary/eric-adams-justice-ice-raids-20250216.html?int_promo=newsletter#democracy #ruleofaw #AttorneyGeneral #maga #corruption #legalresearch
I just added a colorful feature to my free NYC buildings app: a kind of noiseometer! Each building has one of 10 colors, according to how many 311 Noise complaints were submitted in the last 12 months. There’s also a setting for Heat/Hot Water complaints.
My thought is that this might be useful for someone looking to move in the five boroughs. In any case, this update gives the app some much-needed color!

so, if y’all didn’t know, though i was born in #NYC, i grew up all the way into adulthood in #PuertoRico. so USA culture is like my adopted cousin twice removed culture.
which is why i didn’t grow up with Dr. Seuss or Thomas The Tank Engine books or tv. so when i became a mom, Dr. Seuss was a yeah but the creepy, proto-fascist train was a rotund, NO!
others agree with me 👇🏽

Hats off to the organizers of Pride, who've really gone the extra mile this year.
It was a summer night, warm though the sun had gone down. The lights of the city sparkled, the river in front of them caught the reflection.
They were in the perfect place, at the perfect time, with just the right person. Was there any way, they wondered, to stop time and make this moment last forever?

Alice Austen’s body of work is considered among the earliest and most prolific by a female photographer.

I'm about as strategic a voter as they come ... in general elections. If it's down to two evils, I'm there, every single time, first in line to vote for the lesser one.
But I will scream until my dying day that primaries just aren't for that. Primaries are about preference. They're for picking the one you like best. That's why I love giant primaries with a dozen candidates and ranked choice voting. It's my favorite kind of democracy. It's both effective and sincerely fun for me.
So if you're in New York City, a city I love but don't vote in, please vote your preference, not what someone else tells you is smart or strategic. Vote your values and don't believe them when they say you have to compromise. Not yet. And please, please, don't rank Cuomo.
"Here’s everything we know about this year’s primary results, from how the votes are counted to when we can expect to see unofficial and official results:"
