yes nyc is too expensive and the streets are icky with rats but sometimes when you’re leaving the subway your beanie falls out of your bag and everyone shouts YOUR HAT YOUR HAT and one man crouches down to scoop it up to your hands and it occurs to you, Ah, yes, I get it now

@isle_mcelroy Yessss this!! Also the solidarity of everyone warning one another not to sit in the one wet seat in the car!!

@isle_mcelroy @ginathechung Will forever remember the man who told me the one free seat had pee on it, then passed the torch to me when he got off the train
