By: Gabriela Yareliz Have I gotten weak? I wondered. I watched the woman walk across the train platform in a beige tweed blazer. You have to understand, the day has 100% humidity, and it has rained on and off. It’s not cooling rain; it’s steaming rain. The air is sticky, or as Theo Von says,Continue reading “Summer Tweed”

Looking Around the Salon
By: Gabriela Yareliz “Did I tell you about the drugs?” the elderly woman under the hair heat lamp asked her stylist after a long period of silence.

A Rainy Day
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s raining inside of my train car. It’s not supposed to be raining in here, but there is a steady drip-drip. An Asian girl held out her hand and laughed, trying to catch a drop of the mystery liquid falling. I almost opened my umbrella in here, but instead moved to anotherContinue reading “A Rainy Day”
The Pole Battle
By: Gabriela Yareliz Some days on the train, we fight for our lives. Other days, we fight for our pride. There was a man who was leaning his whole body against a pole I needed to hold onto.

Rollerblades
By: Gabriela Yareliz Where did all the rollerblades go? Did someone kidnap them all and bury them? Did they disappear with Toys-R-Us? Did the manufacturing center go bankrupt or burn down? We used to rollerblade so much on the 90s. Why is this not a hobby anymore? And don’t tell me it’s because too manyContinue reading “Rollerblades”

Car Life
By: Gabriela Yareliz Have you truly lived if you didn’t have a car that needed bottles of anti-freeze in the trunk, a gallon of water in the back, bottles of power steering fluid or oil or frequent stops to fill up the tires? Like, what is life without a car you have stories about? Also,Continue reading “Car Life”

Hellloooo my summer chickadees, What a week it has been. Here in NYC, we endured the heat wave, legionnaires in the water supply (bless you, UES), The Odyssey premiere (bless you, traffic of the UWS), Canadian wildfire smoke (is the fire punishment for the Canadians killing all those Emus? Kidding— but also not), and lifeContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 07.18.26”
