I will be in #NYC at the #Alzheimer's Association to discuss "The Alzheimer's Journey: #Grief, #Guilt, #Memory, Love." It is a hybrid event (on line and in-person) that will take place on August 20th from 1 to 2 pm.
50 years ago tonight, television (in their original lineup with richard hell) tape an appearance on the underground tonight show at cafe wha?, alongside #PattiSmith & david peel & jackie curtis & others, aired on #nyc public access #television sometime later that year, surfaced incredibly in 2022: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLlhYiN4gmU#punk [1/2]
I came across this charming car with a cherry blossom design in the heart of Carroll Gardens in Brooklyn, New York CIty. The find was fitting since there were many cherry blossom trees in the area when I stumbled upon the car on April 23, 2024.

#NYC's corrupt mayor (redundant phrase) had the #NYPD attack/assault Columbia students protesting #Gaza genocide after a private call with several pro-#Israel billionaires who promised political donations for his reelection campaign. Such a succinct example of how the sequestration of capital, political power, and violence within a tiny elite is the norm in this country.
Giving out FREE plants today on my stoop. Hoyas, spiders, monteras, purple hearts, yucca. Approx 1.30 EST in Sunset Park, Brooklyn near 45th R. Before the Knicks game. DM for address. #nyc#plants
lol. Shelter wouldn't let us take home fosters (in a hard shell carrier) in the #CargoBike because "it's too dangerous". I even deflated the tires a bit for this, for a smoother ride.
[for background, every cat I've ever dealt with has been terrified in a car. They hate the speed, and the loud engine/vibrations. It's one of the reasons I started transporting my former cats by bike.]

Business titans privately urged #NYC mayor to use police on #Columbia protesters, chats show
A #WhatsApp chat started by some wealthy #Americans after the Oct. 7 #Hamas attack reveals their focus on Mayor #EricAdams and their work to shape #USA opinion of the #Gaza war.
Some plants today. Our snake plant at home has been blooming. It's fragrant flowers are dripping with nectar- but since they are indoors, no hummingbirds or bees to slurp it up. Also the plant next to the snake plant is also taking off since I have been watering it so much.
At BrooklynGlass I went to get some neon tubes this morning and saw this neon tube double vase. I should really pitch a quick one day intro class just making lil vases like this out of tubing- so fun!
5 points to anyone who can tell me what the plant next to the spider plant is?
Cargo trikes working in midtown #manhattan in the rain this morning. The Worksman does catering at construction sites. The dad doing school drop-off said, "It started during covid, and now it's a lifestyle."
For A Project™, I need to learn about the historical origins of #bitmap#fonts. Highly doubt these were first created on computers; where in the world have rectangular #tiles or #bricks carried a textual message? (The tiled signs in the #NYC subway are #mosaics, not based on a grid.) Where did bitmap fonts really start?
