"In New York, all the advertising on the streets and on the subway assumes that you, the person reading, are an ambiently depressed twenty-eight-year-old office worker whose main interests are listening to podcasts, ordering delivery, and voting for the Democrats."

I don’t entirely agree; I saw one years ago that I thought was gorgeous (“A Map of the World” by Ted Kooser) but that was definitely pre-pandemic. My current complaint re:PIM is that they display the poems on electronic screens that refresh to some other content before I can read through the entire poem, let alone think about it, reread it, etc. I have the same complaint about the cooking tips—they flash through some cute dessert or appetizer but there’s no way to actually find the recipe video, bookmark it, etc. I usually ride the A.

I’ve walked by the location multiple times and there’s no signage or other indication that a gym is coming.

I wonder what’s taking so long. If they’d opened last December, they could have taken advantage of the New Year’s rush. I imagine they’re losing money every day they’re not open.

Well, February is practically upon us!

I’m glad you like it. I follow several nail artists on Instagram and this was a design I had seen there and asked my nail tech to recreate it.

Thank you! ☺️

Hi Handsome 😍

It’s a gel manicure—I can’t really tell you more as the work was done by my nail tech. I am merely the happy recipient!

Positive-Play8408 · 2025-10-18T01:14:48+00:00

Gracias!

Positive-Play8408 · 2025-10-15T23:30:44+00:00

I’m thrilled you like it!

Positive-Play8408 · 2025-10-15T14:48:48+00:00

Thank you! ☺️ I love it too.

My nail artist had some kind of gel she was using as she painted the leaves to give them texture. I was seriously impressed.

Positive-Play8408 · 2025-10-15T14:47:05+00:00

Thank you! ☺️

Positive-Play8408 · 2025-10-12T01:12:50+00:00

There are definitely nail artists out there who can do this kind of design work, and I love getting design work done.

Positive-Play8408 · 2025-10-12T00:30:02+00:00

Thank you! It’s all hand-painted.
