Metro North Penn Station Access finally breaks ground in The Bronx with four new stations to be ready by 2027
After over two decades since it was first announced, the ground has broken for the much-anticipated Metro North Penn Station Access which will bring four brand new Metro North Stations to the East #Bronx and reducing commutes by as much as 50 min each way
After decades of promises and false starts, ground has finally broken on the transformative Metro North Penn Station access in The Bronx today. The ceremonial groundbreaking event was held at the site of the future Parkchester/Van Nest Metro North stop—one of four to be constructed in the East Bronx—that will bring direct rail service to Manhattan’s Penn Station as well as points north to…

First Book Anniversary
The article has some technical and grammatical issues (I didn’t write it), but hey it’s my first print interview. I’ll take it! They say you shouldn’t publish your first novel. WHOOPS! It’s the one anniversary of The Ananda Accords, my first book, being self-published. Hard to believe it’s been a year. November 26, 2022. I’ve learned so much and done things I never imagined doing. I learned how…

While i work I've been listening to an LP of the Telltale Walking Dead Games (the ones with clementine, I do not care about the others lmao). Ages ago when I played these I was well aware/amused that part of season 2 takes place in Parker's Crossroads/Parker's Run because I grew up right next to it and the detail stood out to me. But I never caught the line of "We'll head to parker's run. It's just up the road from here" until just right now. So I had a sort of "wait, where the fuck are they supposed to be right now?" (search)

ARE YOU SHITTING ME LMAO So by process of elimination, since it's the only city with anything even remotely resembling a large home supply store, that would mean they're in my literal hometown. My tiny hometown in the middle of nowhere that's never in anything that barely anyone knows of. How in the fuck lmao

But have we given a thought to monsoon horrors? The continuous drip, drip, drip of rain against your windows that goes on for days and weeks without the hint of a single sun ray and and the churn of dark, filthy water thick with the city's refuse sloshing through the streets and insects crawling out of flooded ditches and creeping in through the pipes of your house and the water-level rising every hour every day and the river bank eroding and oh, oh it's gonna be a day or two before the entire village is taken down the river bottom forever and being stuck inside for days and the vegetation outside rapidly overgrowing and turning everything green and becoming a colossal entity that can never be tamed again be garden scissors or axes and hours and hours with only yourself for company and slowly going insane as electricity goes away after a particularly bad bout of rainstorm and never comes back and the food's running low and as you hold the knife and peer into your supplies you think of what you have to do to live on because this rain never ends

as a huge Dark Souls fan who honestly loves the games more for their lore and themes than ooo big boss fights, i wish i was coherent enough to make a big long beautiful dissecting post about the themes of DS and HK, but honestly. I just like that there is a possibility of 'saving' Hallownest. Not the kingdom itself perhaps but. All isn't so totally lost like in Dark Souls. There's still room to rebuild, there's still folks who haven't given up, there's still most of the infrastructure and even groups of bugs like the Mantises or the denizens of Deepnest (the creepy noble ones I'm talking about with the bench) that thrive (?). In Dark Souls, there is... Nothing to really 'save.' The best ending options, in my opinion, are to just let everything *rest* at last. Let the fire fade, let the cycle begin anew. You won't survive, nor will anyone you've met, but existence itself will, because you let everything be burned away at last.
But I don't feel that way about Hallownest. Society still hasn't fallen... *That* far, compared to like, Lothric and Lordran, and hell even Drangleic. I can't quite think of one character in HK who even mentions just waiting for death at this point because that's the only good way anyone is getting out of this (not in a self-death way but like, the world of dark souls is very much converging in on itself because it's been kept in stasis for *so* long to try and preserve Gwyn's Age of Fire. It's not sustainable.) I think Cornifer is a great example for this. He hasn't lost hope, he's got a clear purpose, and yes, he takes your geo (as does Iselda), but both of them take it with the future in mind. They both look forward to the day Cornifer can come home and they can just settle down together. In Dark Souls, there are merchants, but many of them are just kind of... Taking money for money's sake, really. There's not much to *do* with it, there's nothing to look forward to with it. They're getting it for the feeling of power that comes from wealth. There are a few exceptions (Shoutout to my man Domhnall of Zena the best character in DS1) but on the whole, it's a very different vibe. Even Sly, who says himself he just likes to be rich, doesn't seem to be taking it to die rich. No one is waiting for Hallownest to fall.
I don't know. Dark Souls will always be my favorite series, but there's something to be said about how Hollow Knight took a similar path and I prefer the feeling of the endings much more. Sure, in the case of the endings like Dream No More, you shed your shell and *you* return to the void, but Hallownest lives on. Not only does it live on, but it lives on WITH NO (or very, VERY little) CHANCE OF THE CURSE/INFECTION COMING BACK! And hell even your self-sacrifice is viewed as a good thing for you, the Ghost, and the Hollow Knight, because you get to finally *rest*. It's not even painted in a horrible light for the ghost personally.
Hollow Knight lets you kill the Undead Curse and Hollowing itself (i.e. the Infection). It lets you undo the mistakes and wrath of a vengeful god who wants to keep grasping at what little power they have over the lands. A lot has been lost, but not *so* much that everything is for naught.
Hollow Knight makes the best endings the one where the world survives, and I think that's beautiful.

NYC public payphones alive and well in The Bronx
NYC public payphones alive and well in The Bronx
Call it the biggest fake news story of 2022. For the past several days, there has been a media frenzy that the last public payphone in New York City was removed in Times Square, bringing with it an end of an era. But the viral news wasn’t quite accurate and in fact, quite misleading. Although a rarity in New York City over the past decade, public payphones are still, in fact, alive and well…

fuuuuck can inquiring minds get a recipe for the uterine blaster blend. or is it proprietary for now
Omg yeah well I should preface this by saying I’m not a doctor I’m a food scientist for gatorade (they don’t employ me or know who I am). But it’s just a simple blend of raspberry leaf & wineberry leaf (virtually the same, wine berries are closely related lol and I only add them bc they grow all over my yard and I like to put fresh leaves in), red clover, and motherwort. But because I’m super willy nilly and only drink teas that taste good I also added lemongrass lemon balm and chicory for flavor. But I super highly recommend even just raspberry leaf from your co-op, it’s that wonderful combination of good for you and really yummy (see also: tulsi). This tea doesn’t even need extras for flavor bc the raspberry and wineberry and clover are so nice.
Also another disclaimer is that a lot of people touting this shit are like scarily trad sometimes so like also see your doctor and whatnot and not pictured in the teas are the multiple Tylenols and ibuprofens I also take even though I know how to make a perfectly good willow bark tincture lol. And third disclaimer even a cursory google search is a good idea before heavy use of any herbal medicinals bc some like ashwagandha or whatever can build up their effects over time or mess with your meds and stuff but everything I’ve put here is super safe just research before you go too crazy :-)
