i walked almost 20 miles in manhattan yesterday & i must say, the city feels homogeneously bad the ENTIRE city felt like a penn state frat party; like there were girls picnicking in tompkins sq in dior & st. marks looked like newport i’m so sorry nyc; i promise not all of us are like this 😭😭

I've never felt the class disparity as bad I did this recent trip The city has separated into: 1) trust-fund bourgeoisie larps 2) run-down service class that puts up with 1's bullshit Felt it most acutely taking the L into manhattan on Friday evening and taking the L out to queens on Sunday morning. Same train, very different people

i’ve lived in & out of manhattan for almost a decade now & have never seen it THIS bad it was truly gross; i had a visceral reaction walking down the west side & thought it would be better coming up the east… my lord… it used to be contained

In 2019 I used to commute every morning into Times Square at 5am on the Q and every morning something crazy happened. I had already been living in bed-stuy for 8 years at that point but it was eye opening in a totally different way

Word. Also if you take the L at 5AM and 8AM. Very different people.

NYC is the city where you can run as fast as you want, but there are 10 people right behind you. I’d steam roll the fuck out of the trust fund bourgeois.
