living anonymously and having a bit of a haze over memory helps not feeling so scandalous, but if ur that girl ur that girl.

if yr ever in atlanta for an extended period of time, check out videodrome, our only video rental store in the city ! they have an really cool collection of international, arthouse, independent, and mainstream films (currently im going through abbas kiarostami’s filmography)
there’s something so refreshing about seeking out and consuming media without the influence of the internet, away from algorithms that tell you what yr supposed to like—it’s nice to browse around and take the ownership of yr own art consumption back in yr own hands

Pretty sick, went with a friend and it was very funny. $14 Movie Theater IPAs were hitting in a fantastic way. Then we went to see the second half of the Knicks game in some dive in the Village. It was a great time, stumbled on the escalator in front of strangers.

At the Lincoln Center Performing Arts Library you can watch almost any theatrical production performed in New York City since 1970. Due to union laws, you can only watch a production once and must stay in the library’s viewing cubicles. Recently, I watched John C. Riley and Phillip Seymour Hoffman in Sam Shepard’s True West. If you love theater, do yourself a favor and spend an afternoon watching an old production. I love theater and want new plays. I am imagining a burgeoning playwright creeping into the library to watch Meryl Streep in “Mouther Courage and Her Children” and going on to write their own Mother Courage (and casting me).

As New Yorkers (and self proclaimed bushwickers lol) we tend to lean into a scene. From the hardcore face tatted scene, the techno dolls, fashion gays, all the way to whatever the Pianos crowd is, we never stray away from the normal 3-4 friends we made years ago when we came here for art school. By we...I mean you, but as your friendly Native New Yorker I suggest you do what the girls call a "Solo Pump" and step out of your norm.
You put on an outfit thats only purpose is to make YOURSELF feel sexy, then you plan a club hope either in Bushwick, China Town, Greenpoint, Willamsburg 🤢, East Village, or if your thirsty for yerba Mattes, Ridgewood Queens. The purpose of this is to open yourself to the many lives you could be living in your time in NYC!
My "Solo Pumps" have not only given me some of the best smoke break conversations, but i've made friends with folk I'd never thought I'd share a life with. Solo cig huffs on a dark dance room floor can sometimes be more tranquilizing than all the K ya'll steal from the Derbys (seriously shout out to all the anxious Horses out there with no resources smh). As a New Yorker my favorite thing is meeting new people, you pick up new music, trendys, vape flavors, and you might even find access to the world beyond the L train line.
Next time you find yourself bored, borderline suicidal, at home consider taking yourself on a solo pump. A date night with yourself, a selfish spiral, and work on expanding your OWN independent life here in NYC. You'll be surprised with who or what you bump into, when youre not focused on getting all 6 of your friends in a Lyft at 4am.
Anyways, going to use this as a vague Bushwick Gossip Girl type of writing. Except I'm not writing about people social lives, I work as a bartender I see your lives its not worth blogging about lmao.
