Halloween won’t be on Saturday again for 11 years! (2037) I didn’t believe it when I heard it at first, but apparently 3 leap years between now and then will do that. So party it up, fellow revelers! 🎃👻🧙🏻
My daughter’s 4th grade teachers dressed up as characters from “Saved by the Bell.” All us parents immediately recognized Lisa and Slater. The teachers told us they’d never seen the show because it was BEFORE THEIR TIME.

😲 I didn’t know other forms of scaffolding existed!
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 3d agoNew Yorkers deserve sunlight on their sidewalks, visibility on their storefronts, and a walk to work that doesn’t include ducking. Since January, we’ve had over 1,400 construction sheds removed — 17% of the city’s total, and twice as many as 2025.
Always one for a good prompt but I couldn’t figure out what #ArchForma was as I scrolled through my #photography feed. #LinesLinesLines
This is one of the reasons I abandoned meta. At least Bluesky does better.

Ah, NYC radiator season is upon us. When the steam pipes start blasting heat and it makes absolutely no difference how tightly you close them. The apartment is a sauna. Our kid woke us up at 2:30 am because he was so hot he’d had a nightmare that he was trapped in a burning building. 🥵
Fall foliage along the Palisade Parkway. My poor colorblind kid can’t see the autumn colors, just all looks the same to him!
I hear the hole in the ozone layer has improved. Remember when that was the scariest climate crisis we were facing?

Hope scrolling this trending topic this morning. 🥰 Negative bias is real, human (and necessary for survival!), have to actively fight it by looking for the good.
If you encounter ICE, here's what every New Yorker should know.

Texas Paul@realtexaspaul.com · last wk.Machines switching votes, fewer polling places and long ballots can all be defeated by voting early.
Give me 4 versions of you: I have very little main character energy, so I couldn’t find many photos of ME. But these are all from different special times.

Photo taken from the Oberbaumbrücke (not far from East Side Gallery in Berlin). Fun fact: Berlin has more bridges than Venice! #travel #photography
Ms. (almost) 9: “S is kinda like a Brooklyn person.” Me: “What does that mean?” Ms. 9: “You know, they think they’re really great, but they’re not.” Say you’re from Queens without saying it. 🤭
Throwback to almost 10 years ago. None of us can decipher what he was saying in the middle of this story. 😆 toddler storytime was so cute
Cloudy skies and empty boulevard. I liked the composition of this one (another snap taken by husband on his run, so I can’t take credit for photo or run 😅)
I want to contribute to the beautiful photography on Bluesky too! My husband manages to get some really nice snapshots on his runs, like this one #photography #running
My Discover feed was full of beautiful photography this morning. Photos taken by real people. How lovely! ☺️
