I hate FSAs and HSAs with a passion. Waste of my time and an utter scam meant to send my healthcare money into the hands of finance guys instead of my doctor

Been a poll worker for 5 years now. Very long days in NYC and these moments are a huge pick-me-up to us all.

Daniel Mainz @dtmainz.bsky.social · 5d

Which is harder, the NYC marathon or poll working from 5am to 10pm (2 hour lunch at least)? Felt like huge turnout, even after all the early voting. Nice to run out of Future Voter stickers so early in the day too.

Cheering is more fun!

4th NYC marathon, and 4th this year because I, um, it’s complicated. Thanks to NYRR for excellent logistics and my fav civil servants, the DSNY for all you do.

My traditional marathon medal shot. Some people like scenic backgrounds. I don’t.

4th NYC on deck. No time goal. Let’s all have fun in the best party in the city.

My NYC marathon kit for tomorrow’s race, bib #33961. Starting 10:25am, finishing likely after 3pm

What about the tattoo??

So, another reason to hate Fanatics dot com?

Mission accomplished. Let’s make NYC kinder, together.

My supercute NYC Halloween Voter sticker featuring the official city bird, a pigeon, holding a trick-or-treat pumpkin bag in its beak.

Parking in bike lanes. Parking on sidewalks. Parking in loading zones. Parking at bus stops. And … people giving me any attention at all. Where are my adoring fans? (Oh yeah, Westchester and the Island.)

In this Michigan Coney Island, folks have three questions: how’s the Greek salad, do the Wings need another defender, and when will Olivia Reinhold land the dream job she most certainly deserves.

Everything is natural!

Flagstaff? I’m probably too plugged into running but that place is a hotbed for serious training. I’d assume this person is just the local normal.

Daniel Mainz @dtmainz.bsky.social · 15d

Yay!

I am torn between instant gratification and the bonus “marshmallow” of the Halloween I Voted sticker.

(7/X) You know the old quote about why do you rob banks? Because that's where the money is.

Why do "free speech" people try to appeal to cranky reactionary old men? Because that's where the money is.

Just use Burbank! Even if there's a stopover somewhere, you'll still hate your life less!

I guess I’m just hoping that the Georgetown set, the Beltway Tories, finally get upset about this. The same people that hated the déclassé Clintons from Day 1. Yes, this ranks low on the total list of Trump outrages, for normal people. However the David Broder and Maureen Dowd types aren’t normal.

OMG as the kids say
