Oh I get it and relate entirely.
A table foreground, two side-by-side bookcases background, all in a light wood finish.
So excited to finally have bookcases and a table, place suddenly feels 1000% more like home.
Ruptured a tendon in my thumb playing dodgeball.
Selfie with thumb in a splint.
Happy moved from a cast to a splint to all who celebrate.
Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.
Parks Dept. programming is something that makes life in NYC markedly better. Exciting to see this renewed focus on it, but ultimately it deserves more funding!

Guess who has a hopefully successfully reattached extensor tendon and could NOT be more excited for this well-timed little friends trip?
Doughnut with a gorgeous scarlet glaze
Was a bit bummed my local doughnut place didnβt have pΔ czki for PΔ czki Day but this loganberry glaze was a *very* yummy stand-in.
(As mentioned in the story, this is not an endorsement of feeding wildlife though. Please donβt do that!)

Storm King Mountain and a frozen Hudson
Hudson River with chunks of floating ice
Bannerman castle ruins, ice, sun through clouds
This is nice, we should have the Hudson freeze every winter.
I donβt think Iβve ever experienced a bigger dopamine hit from the temperature barely hitting 45Β°. First nice day of spring energy even with snow on the ground.
Sending good vibes for a smooth recovery! β€οΈ
Yeah, I need to look around, Iβm sure thereβs conversation groups I could find. Thanks so much!
Spanish, so thankfully very easy to find media/people to talk to! I have a wedding coming up in Chile in about a year and I want to have fixed up my speaking skills, especially, by then.
I meant to recover fluency in a language at which you used to be better.
So many good tips, tysm!!!
Oh nice! Thatβs a great thought. Confidence is definitely a major part of it; my listening and reading skills are still pretty good but it comes out more in speaking. Iβm attending a wedding in Chile about a year from now and I really want to be super comfortable chatting in Spanish again by then.
Oh love the listening/writing/speaking combo!
Has anyone here gotten a language youβve kind of let lapse back to fluency? How did you do it?
I am feeling deeply skeptical about the movie but this soundtrack? A mood.

Will this single-handedly solve climate change? No. Would I feel awesome about generating a decent chunk of my own electricity every month and saving a bit of money on my utility bill the process? Hell yes.
The *second* NY makes this legal I am purchasing a solar panel. Cover every last balcony in the city with them!!!

A stoat in its white winter coat, or ermine. This small weasel-like animal is standing on its hind legs in a field with patches of snow and is absurdly cute.
In a way, we are all Winter Olympics winners due to the mascot-related increase in stoat content.
Thank you to the truck driver who yelled βSuperman! Clark Kent!β at me in the crosswalk minutes after learning Iβm gonna need surgery to reattach this tendon. Very encouraging.
