Hi @laserbeams.bsky.social! Nice to hear from you. I defer to @davidfurst.bsky.social on that one, I think he was hosting.

Bike in the weeds down a hill.

Hey @citibikenyc.bsky.social if you’re missing a bike, it’s at the northernmost end of Inwood park, halfway down the hill by the train bridge.

Happy birthday @michael-hill.bsky.social!! We’re so glad to have you here and working @wnyc on your birthday! 🎂🥳

Me: *absolutely knocking it out of the park*
Them: that actually belongs in the park

Sun shines on the ocean, foreground is snow covered sand.

I saw someone skiing down the beach today for my first time ever.

Kid drawing of a bunch of angry-faced cats storming a building labeled “White House” with signs that say “litter,” “I heart litter,” and “more box.”
