I want to read this but Time Out ALWAYS crashes on mobile! In Chrome and Safari, I keep trying! Any chance you know who I could send feedback to?

Of course!!! There’s a thousand other things that could have been said, couched in kindness and care, that may have helped you prepare for the future.
I have a looooot of assumptions as to the type of person (which is probably unfair). All I know is they couldn’t do what you do, not even CLOSE.

I am so sorry that was said to you. That’s unnecessary and hurtful and not at all “feedback.”
It’s wild how people assume “I went to your talk and listened to you, so now you should listen to me about how I was personally affected.”

My favorite part was getting to pretend I'm an old timey actor getting taken off the stage.

I can’t imagine what the rat paid for its seat in the front row.

My first year in New York, a man asked me out for “seafood.” Fancy, I thought.
No. He meant THIS Red Lobster.
I’ve always been one to do it for the bit. The date was awful, the food and the company. When leaving, he went in for a kiss. I said, “Midwesterners don’t kiss on the first date.”

Highly recommend using wax instead of tape for the cleanest lines, like they do for batik!

One LAST thing, I promise.
Teen Vogue does great work, and this piece does examine the crisis of individual versus corporate responsibility. My fist to the sky is about the larger conversation and misplaced blame.

Okay okay one more thing. Saying Gen Z “claims to care about sustainability but then uses ChatGPT” is very “Millennials eat avocado toast instead of trying to be financially responsible.”
Y’all, stop blaming young people for the circumstances they’ve been forced into.

As @bandarra.me and I discuss *all the time*, it’s a giant factory of machinery up against screw driver problems — they’re not so simple they could be solved without help, but the tools needed are smaller, MUCH less expensive, and often even better equipped to solve the problem you have.

On one hand, individuals can take responsibility for our climate impact, especially when the current government is stripping protections.
On the other, it’s giving the 2000s “stop using plastic straws”. Real impact will come from major companies making choices about responsible model usage.

(Of course, I already said elevators—obviously we know where my priorities are.)

If the management company hasn’t paid and ConEd follows through, that also includes the elevators and the boiler, and it’s pretty freaking cold in New York this week. But the lights are still on… for now.

Thanks for helping me clarify why we, the residents of this building, are absolutely screwed, @seejanemarie.bsky.social. Your work, as always, is perfect.

I’ve discovered that, unsurprisingly, the building management company is private equity. Right after listening to The Dream’s episode on this topic: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

So, there are times when I need to pay attention to the cancer, like, when I have to go to doctor's appointments, take a medication on time, or make choices regarding self-care to increase my quality of life.
But when I am not doing those things, thinking about the cancer is actively harmful.

While none of these thoughts are unique, the last thing we (American, and perhaps Canadian, TikTok users) have is shared, communal mourning.

At least, I’m glad, to be here.
