nailtipflips:
Tumblr has amazed me with the amount of love and support we show for each other. So many of you chipped in to help get Mari a new wheelchair, and to help Friday’s mom with some financial troubles. I’m hoping that we can do it one more time for Rosa Sparks.
Irene blew through her neighborhood and left them with a mess of shit to deal with. Mainly, their power has been out for a...

Wow. There’s almost no traffic going through the Lincoln Tunnel right now.
On a day this beautiful, it’s easy to forget what just happened until you notice something like that.
Had to make one last pee run for Rocco
Once you decide to get wet, it’s kind of exciting to be out there.
Then I saw the tree. One of my favorites on the blvd. Roots in the air. So disturbing when you actually see it.
This is a great moment for local news btw. NBC4 is killing it.
