The algorithm in the feed isn’t meant for folks who want to share their work & don’t have thousands of followers 😑. Stories is the only thing we have to share our stuff and make sure folks at least get to see it exists. This app is the worst bruh

that’s literally the audacity of a man, calling you crazy in the middle of a fight while eating the food YOU cooked. Ooooo this scene got me hot lol
This week's ¡Hola Papi! is all about heartbreak, a topic I unfortunately know plenty about. No pay wall on this one because I know many of my beloved readers are heartbroken and broke.

This part! I’ve been able to put all that extra energy into myself & my life has grown so much bc of it but it still hurts to feel like yesterdays trash despite all the love I gave. Not even a goodbye & to peep they’re still putting energy to mutual friends hurts but we move on
@GuerillaMemoir
Toni Morrison and James Baldwin; no matter how many times I’ve read their works it still gives me chills. They def feel like an unattainable level of skill and talent.

Right for a 174k salary they could do way better but it may not be in UES. That apartment isn’t even fully updated for 4.3k.

Honestly Seema was so relatable in this episode. And it wasn’t framed in a shameful or “hatery” way.
💯 @ “sometimes you need to put your needs first.”
@rod_c_l
Best pitching practices? Saw someone else on here say they deleted an email pitch with a script attached bc they didn’t request the script. Where’s the line between “shooting your shot” and “closing the door on yourself?” If that makes sense.
okay, let’s have a little lesson in police propaganda🧵
on Monday, the New York Times repeated Philly PD that riders on the El ignored a woman being raped.
4 days later, the Delaware Cty DA had to correct the story:
“That is simply not true. It did not happen.”

NYC mayor Eric Adams is demanding city libraries to cut their budgets by $13.6 million by the end of fiscal year 2023, and another $20.5 million over the next 3 fiscal years. This will be devastating for the services and operations of the library system.

You mean to tell me Spongebob could drive a big rock with invisible pedals and steering wheel but he couldn’t drive a BOAT?
Why he didn’t just take the rock back home with him???
Now that im back to my regular life and business as usual my very first thought this morning was “I want my days and my time back.” The financial instability of unemployment is awful but I yearn for the free time to enjoy the sun, hobbies, time with family, etc.
It sucks that living near your friends is a privilege of wealth in NYC. All my friends are 1hr plus away and that rly sucks on beautiful days like today. Spontaneous hang outs are not rly a thing😔.
