@JoyceCarolOates I keep getting ones coming from a number with an Estonian country code 😒

can someone confirm if this is (probably) a scam: a text message came to me, though without my name, informing me that this is the final notice for me to pay a traffic fine in Essex County, NJ where I have never driven. the form looks official but there is nothing specific about me or my vehicle. assuming that this is a scam but is it a familiar one? no actual fine/fee is stated. thanks for advice:

@mamboitaliano__ I made this impromptu shirt out of a literal bodega bag in the middle of the night bc I was overheated & discombobulated & it looks more like Sargent than that tacky shit 😭

✨ The much-criticized dress worn by Lauren Sánchez at the Met Gala 2026, which to some looked like a Temu-style evening gown, actually had a different intended meaning Lauren Sánchez Bezos in fact paid tribute to the iconic portrait Madame X by John Singer Sargent (1884) with her custom Schiaparelli gown, honoring the gala’s theme: “Fashion Is Art” The original portrait, Madame X, depicts Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau, an American socialite married to a French banker The painting is famous for its provocative style: a deep-cut black dress, bare shoulders with jeweled straps, an elegant profile, and an aura of scandal (at the time, it was criticized for its overly daring décolletage and sensual pose) Today, it is considered one of the iconic masterpieces of the Metropolitan Museum of Art John Singer Sargent is probably rolling in his grave

@imaslimeyou I kinda want to do a “WIEAD as a depressed baddie” ✨” 3 chips, Açaí vitamin water a Hot Tamale, & my ex fiancé shoved half a bodega sandwich in my face ✨

did she use an actual cup to measure a cup of popcorn i’m crying

@AdemLuz Then don’t eat the park chicken, you can procure a $17 fancy sandwich by walking appx 5 minutes in every cardinal direction jfc

My rent is 2,600

@rameenwhile Thinking abt how this is setting up a movie plot where Trump nukes the Earth while the astronauts are still in space 😭

thinking about how easy it would have been to feel uncomplicated joy at the miracle of humans going to the moon if half of the world wasn't currently actively being butchered and amputated in part by the people who sent them there

@desusnice That was Wed-Thursday, I transferred at Delancey-Essex bc I was about to get frostbite waiting for the above-ground G, the MTA makes shivering shame-sluts of us all

first “I left my crib when it was 70 degrees” spring walk of shame home

@notgwendalupe 104 years ago, James Joyce included the nonsense poem “If You See Kay” in his novel Ulysses, which was promptly banned on more general charges of obscenity 😒

17 years ago, Britney Spears released 'If U Seek Amy'. The song was banned on the radio after it was discovered it secretly spelled the f word

@molochofficial @eleanoir Sleeping on Peruvian chifa & Nepali chow mein 😴 🤤

@eleanoir This sort of thing

potluck idea: bring your culture’s version of Chinese food

@tapatiomagic @ghostiesdagger I enjoyed Night Shift but the internal inconsistencies were driving me insane! Also when “NYU” was on the UWS & a “short drive” from fuckin BRIGHTON BEACH & one could order delivery pizza from Little Italy to like Bay Ridge I chalked it up to a non-NYCer but wow yeah

Enough is enough. The_green_fairy, creator of Heated Rivalry fic Night Shift, uses AI in the creation of their fics and refuses to acknowledge it. @ghostiesdagger and I compiled the evidence of their inconsistencies, lies, and output. See it for yourself. drive.google.com/file/d/1xvnkeQ…

@HenryEOliver This is so vexing/insulting bc while yes I did read a gay hockey player book I also read It Would Be Night In Caracas & some of the new Berryman Dream Songs, I wait on the door slab motherfuckers

@franhoepfner One time I didn’t get into Sisyphos in Berlin bc I was standing too close to French teens confine them to France to stop their terrors

using my high school level skills to tell a bunch of French teens to stop crowding the platform at jay street metrotech

Ok that one scene from the Don Giovanni Sir Neville Mariner recording is actually wild on headphones bc the Commendatore is full stereo but Leporello is only on the left side & Don Giovanni is only on the right 🤯

Walkable city discourse aside it’s so annoying when there’s about to be a blizzard & the deli you want to go to is 3 blocks in one direction but the grocery you want is 2 blocks in the *other* direction like let me live bitch

@james_f_thomas I was in Paris in late November & it was the exact same temperature as Brooklyn (high 30s) & I was So. Fucking. Cold. makes no sense

I lived in LA for a couple of years and we had one historically cold winter where it was in the 30s for a few days. nothing has ever been colder. I've lived through multiple Iowa polar vortexes where it was ~30 below zero, but I swear, LA was colder

@CoraCHarrington Oh man I need a corsetiere, I’m not even that thin but have an extremely short waist & strongish obliques so I’ve never found an otc corset that can squoosh me adequately! 👯‍♂️

@mollyculetheory Nope. A good corsetiere can make a corset that does its job on thinner bodies as well.

So many corsets are coming down the runway and so many of them lack a curve. Corset look, but no corset function. A boned rectangle.

@Pat_Stedman This is all so fucking stupid from both sides, you go somewhere and get a drink & if there are vibes you get some small plates to share & if there are still vibes you go kiss in a park & then retreat to yr respective corners & evaluate further

This is bad game. You don't tell a woman directly that you don't do dinner first dates - kills the dynamic, makes her feel unvaluable and unexcited to see you. Yes "logically" she should get it but emotionally it's very unromantic. Do this only if you're looking for exclusively casual sex, because it compromises energy and connection in order to save time/money, which is self-defeating. Instead, when you get an objection like this you need to give some personal reason why ("I have dinner plans with my friend already before") or better find a place with small bites (my favorite option, more flexible). You are ALWAYS supposed to make a woman you are interested in feel special, even if she isn't really to you. The only women who will chase you when you demean them are ones you'd never commit to in the first place.

Mozart rarely composes only for piano, it’s all the instruments in his noodle u gotta sit on that bench like “oh no now I’m s’posed to be a cello fuck now what an oboe” & deal with it, at least mostly everyone else harder is at least like “yeah so it’s just a piano”

@SOPROSOCIAL I get zero likes *and* naked that’s zeugma baybee

Have you ever seen a beautiful woman naked?

Fam how normal on a scale of 1-10 is it to wake up in an existential panic from a dream where u wrote a formal sonnet about small dogs in pirate hats & then listen to Mozart’s Confutatis/Lacrimosa 4x in a row asking for a friend
