there’s convo in the comments about “post-pandemic”… it’s a tweet, not thesis babes. if you are raw dogging MTA air — you’re wild. whats the currently popular political slogan “we’re not going back”? that’s me with an n95 mask all day, every day on these subways.

I’ve been off Twitter / X for several months now. But today - the morning after #EricAdamsIndicted - called for a return. It’s a must. I’m happy to be here with all of you.
