I probably won’t ever talk to them or even say hi, but it feels good to see people I recognize around my neighborhood or on the commute. Oh shit it’s the guy with the blue hair. Is that the woman who had that amazing coat? There’s that server from the ramen spot.

I can’t tell you how many people I’ve come to recognize from them walking past the window of where I work every day. Some of them I have a rapport with. Some wave. Some don’t even know they’re in my life. Sometimes I see them in other places in the city. It’s kind of sweet, it makes the city feel small

obviously not in a creepy way but once you start doing this you’ll actually recognize the same people if you’re in a walking neighborhood and it starts to really feel like a village!
Love recognizing an old coworker, your local tailor, or just nodding at your barista on the street :)

you should know/say hi to the people on your commute not just to foster community and be a kind warm welcoming New Yorker (all the real ones are) but also because it will make you a happier person! my local garage boys tell me I’m a princess every day, the weed smoking guy on the stoop with the cool motorcycle tells me when my outfits are slaying, and the deli guy and I vent to one another about our love lives on the reg! we <3 human connection

a study issued last month found that dancing is the most effective way of treating and mitigating depression. Walking, therapy, and yoga also outpaced SSRIs. and if you're saying 'oh this was probably funded by Big Dance', there's no evidence of that and if you're saying 'that's just what a Big Dance shill would say', well honey you're right

Do your own homework, read the books yourself, do your own writing, dig in, research, engage with different views. AI is not the answer. Reading and writing to develop your own voice is a lifelong pursuit. Your opinions and knowledge are precious things. That pursuit will make you more interesting, more engaging and fill your soul. The ideas you have should be the product of your own experience. Don't cheapen them by outsourcing your education to a server farm. You'll only sell yourself short.
