i’ve seen the statue of liberty a million times and visited it up close once, but idk why i still haven’t been to ellis island! even in the fourth grade we had “immigrant day” where we all dressed up and learned about ellis island and the immigration process back then but for some reason they didn’t take us on a field trip there…

I’m obsessed with this thing, it unlocked the five year old battleship fascination that I skipped because pokemon got to me first. I used to date this guy that lived on 59th and like tenth ave and every time I’d drive past that ship I’d think “wow. Can’t believe this thing is headed for Ukraine. we really are a nation at war..” still have never been inside but its size and grandeur impresses me

i worked here for a few years and often got emotional just entering it (dramatic i know!!), it is just such a marvel, truly emblematic of the city/iconic, visiting the top was always such an adventure, also my fav part was that there are these murals throughout the lobby (mainly the ceiling but also the reception desk wall and in the elevators) that feature gears in celestial formations it is extremely steampunk!!!!

i had it for a little over a year until i was like wow this is actually terrible! i genuinely think it has negatively impacted society by ruining people’s attention spans, having a horrific algorithm, and most of all by the most mind-numbing or outright harmful trends -
fake words that people now use IRL (“unalive”), trad wife tiktok, shein hauls, body-focused fitness vids that encourage fatphobia and unhealthy habits, shallow political/feminist theory and queer discourse, “alpha male” podcaster tiktok, encouraging overconsumption in general, trends ruining local spots or niche things… the list goes on
