new yorkers, a moment of your time. i know you think, based on the chill early this morning, that it’s time for that one autumn jacket. but if you peek at the forecast you’ll find it’s supposed to be 73 today. so unless you want to fill the jacket with the odor of sweat you must put it away again

My use of the first-person plural is intended to implicate me under that characterization!!

Somebody mentioned r/standupworkshop and I recommend you take a look. Just go for a wander.
