@mikiesherrill.bsky.social been waiting for Light Rail to Westside for 20 minutes in the wind and rain. It’s rush hour and 4 trains already went pass for other destinations not my own.

When do you think you can join me in commuting to and from work to get my vote?

That’s the first I’ve ever heard of a local politician doing that! I wish I could vote for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Today I took questions from more than a dozen South Asian news outlets and spoke about our agenda to make this city affordable for each and every New Yorker.

Zohran sits at a long conference table, back to the camera, with more than a dozen journalists, some with cameras, facing him.

But I hope you like tempeh? Soenes Roti Bar & Grill is an option.

Indonesian food is a little tougher because even though the dish is vegetarian, they might use fish sauce, so make sure you say vegan instead. Try Betawi.

I hope you’re also eating good Surinamese and Indonesian food!

Day 3 in Tuscany: Montepulciano was less crowded than Siena, so I had a better time walking around; plus the weather was fantastic! 🇮🇹 #ciaheartstuscany

Every time I finished a chapter, I sighed. #ciaheartsbooks #booksky 💙📚

“I wondered how it would feel to like who you are, changing it up as needed to stay on top with ease. […] I felt safer in those waters, honestly. Technically Emmy was like me: dead dad, messed-up mom. But damned if you'd ever guess. She seemed like a person born to have sidewalks under her feet.”

What is RED? It’s not because they’re running extra service because of the #NYCFC v Red Bulls derby, is it? Because if so, IT SHOULD SAY BLUE 🔹🔷🔵🔷🔹 #ciaheartsfutbol #njtransit
