I wish I can slap phones off people’s hands when they’re using it while walking.

NJ Transit bus(ted) stop for the no.16 on Claremont and Garfield Avenues:

After the most recent layoffs at work, we are expected to now do our own data analytics, some engineering, and QA as part of our initial responsibilities as product folks. “The most important skill in prompting is expertise in the domain you’re prompting for.” www.seangoedecke.com/llms-reward-...

The premise is SO misleading: “A modern social media influencer who promotes a curated "tradwife" lifestyle online is suddenly transported back to 1855, forced to live through the real hardship of the lifestyle she romanticized.” It’s one example why I try not to read anything ahead about any book!
Cia@ciabernales.com · 6d agoBook no.17 for 2026 💙📚 “Yesteryear” for the Amtrak ride back home from Cape Cod! #ciaheartsbooks
Back from vacation and commuting to the office for the first time in a week; HBLR to Tonnelle Ave is 6 minutes early and is on the West Side tracks when it stopped at Garfield. We all ran in the rain to make it. No notifications in the platform, of course. #njtransit 😡😩
Two dishes tonight courtesy of the garden: Fuschia Dunlop’s fish-fragrant eggplant (one of my stand-bys but with ground pork) and mizo-glazed eggplant #ciacooksjerseycity
Cia@ciabernales.com · 3d agoSunday afternoon in the backyard, August 2, 2026 😀 Pulled all the carrots, a couple of Asian eggplants, and the remaining beets 🥕🍆 #ciaheartsgardening #urbangarden #jerseycitygardens

What on earth happened to Soldier Field’s turf? Worse than #NYCFC baseball patches ⚽️ @chicagofirefc.bsky.social #ciaheartsfutbol
We tackled the inside of the greenhouse today: pea gravel in between the pavers; used water jugs as my cold frames this winter—they’re on a shelf I picked up from the street; a raised bed the same color blue as the potting table is coming next #jerseycitygardens #ciaheartsgardening #urbangarden
Cia@ciabernales.com · 2w agoIt took a lot of time and patience in between heat waves, unhealthy air due to the wildfires, and rainstorms but the latest addition to our backyard is finally assembled and standing! #jerseycitygardens #ciaheartsgardening #urbangarden #nativeplants
Apple MLS finally has some new commercials LOLZ except you RBC Wealth Management #NYCFC #ciaheartsfutbol
First tomato harvest of 2026 is called Black Beauty. First BLT of the summer season is also a beauty. Peter Luger bacon, Gotham Greens lettuce, Tom Cat toast. #ciacooksjerseycity #ciaheartsgardening #urbangarden #jerseycitygardens
Thursday afternoon walk in the backyard, July 30, 2026 😀 After a week of being away, the tomatoes shot up and everything I wrapped are starting to really ripen; the eggplants multiplied and want larger produce bags! #ciaheartsgardening #urbangarden #jerseycitygardens
I love the Amtrak quiet car. I love the old folks who insist on other passengers to be QUIET while in the quiet car.
The MLS All-Star kits are awful LOLZ that Chime logo is so bad #ciaheartsfutbol
Book no.16 for 2026 💙📚 Bluesky folks told me about this one: “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This” by Omar El Akkad. Not a Cape Cod beach read, per se, but a very important book nonetheless. #ciaheartsbooks
We carved out a little plot here on Cape Cod and planted a few seeds last month to see if any will grow without regular maintenance. The tomatoes grew! Except that I didn’t plant any tomato seeds LOLZ #ciaheartscapecod
I’d like for NJ Transit HBLR to move Jersey City residents on time and frequently on weeknights and weekends!
Colleen Wilson@colleenonthescene.bsky.social · 2w agoWhile NJ TRANSIT moved a historic number of people for World Cup (370k over eight matches), they would do a few things differently for the next big MetLife event. More on that and dissecting the numbers on mode of travel for the World Cup.
Book no.15 for 2026 💙📚 I’m only halfway through but “Angel Down” is just too good; and it’s dark; and it’s morbid; and it’s funny; and it’s absurd; #ciaheartsbooks
#NYCFC thoughts now that we are back: 1. Weird to see James Sands back, but awesome 2. Malachi is unrecognizable without his locks, but still awesome 3. I hope Matt Freese is not feeling bad about that WC mistake anymore 4. A Crew, but I wish people saw more of Arfsten during WC #ciaheartsfutbol
Beautiful Monday evening walk in the backyard, July 20, 2026 😀 Native plants are going wild! #ciaheartsgardening #urbangarden #jerseycitygardens
It was a great year for movies but I had to pick one!
