It wasn’t even 11am, but saw a craft brewery sign so we checked it out. They didn’t have a problem serving us that early. Their stout was great and the sloth branding wasn’t bad either. They’re @colorsbrewing on Instagram and they’re in Bijagua in Alajuela Province Costa Rica 🇨🇷 #ciaheartscostarica

@customeradvocate.bsky.social because you’re the only one who could be timely and responsive, can you please have them salt and shovel the Garfield Avenue Light Rail station? We have ramps here that elderly neighbors use. Thank you!

There’s a Tashkent Supermarket (from Brighton Beach, Brooklyn) on Waverly Place/6th Avenue now in the West Village and the buffet choices will drive you nuts! They have a kazan with Uzbek plov with beef; we gave ourselves geography and history lessons while we enjoyed it. #ciaeatsnyc

I don’t have other social media accounts anymore but I wonder if there’s anyone in Bluesky based out of Jersey City who would buy a never-really-sat-on swivel chair for $400? I’m selling because I’m never in my home office anymore due to RTO.

Book no.1 of 2026: “I Who Have Never Known Men” by Jacqueline Harpman. The copy was gifted to me last month; so far, it reads like “1984” and I like how I have no idea where it will go. #ciaheartsbooks #booksky 💙📚
