Atlantic Avenue Subway Station I know graffiti is “just graffiti” and I shouldn’t read into it, but I did. I generally agree with the sentiment here (access to affordable, healthy food should be human right, especially according to the values on which our country was founded), but don’t think it accomplishes anything. Clearly, the intended… Continue reading

Thinking about “Networking”
My friend Alisha thinks very similarly to how I do about “networking,” and she just wrote a great post about it. Here’s an excerpt describing what networking should be and what a lot of people try to make it: What is networking, even? To be honest, I hate the term.

You find screened, skilled neighbors to help with tasks - grocery shopping, babysitting, fixing things, party planning, etc. - and then hire them. Once a task is complete, a task is also done for a child in need (sponsored by Unicef). I also love Done.’s values statement, which includes such items as assuming good intentions… Continue reading New website alert! Done.com

He was wearing a metallic number 6 pin on his lapel, and the only explanation his publicist gave… Continue reading “It was for the veterans’ ‘got your 6’ campaign”
Orange Street, Cranberry Street, Pineapple Street
I never knew why downtown Brooklyn had streets named after yummy things, but not I know it’s because of Miss Middagh. Miss Middagh’s family, who immigrated to the area when it was still New Amsterdam in 1652, was very influential in the area.

Here’s the form to register to vote in NYC
I have always voted absentee in CT because in all honesty (and at risk of embarrassment), registering to vote in a new place wasn’t transparent to me. I don’t have a NY driver’s license, but it seems like it doesn’t matter.
