The line between between healthy and pathological use of social media is razor thin and leans towards the latter.

It is extremely difficult, but not impossible, to maintain mental health in our world.

I am at a #local #coffee shop drinking an iced #chai latte. I am waiting for my client, Marvin, an #undocumented #immigrant to work on his case. I hope he makes it. He is driving from upstate into #manhattan.

I am at the #CharlieParkerJazzFestival. And I feel some kind of way that we have to resort to sponsorships by corporate plunderers like #capitalone bank. 🤮

A friend’s son begins graduate school at #columbiauniversity soon. Both my #friend and her #son are great peeps.

We had cheap #pizza for dinner. Went out for it. Sat in the #park to eat it. The #summer is in the home stretch. It is sunny but moderate outside. #broadway is full of people enjoying the start of the #weekend: new #mothers strolling with their #newborns, #tweens zooming on their scooters, #machos driving their garish cars, #teens playing #hoops #señoras playing #bingo in the park.

I heard that #oligarch #oprah showed up at the #DNC2024 convention. Who cares? The #usa is circling the drain and #Oprah, and her ilk, will sit pretty in their fortified, guarded compounds while the rest of us bake, starve, and attack each other. #demexit

I am on the bus, headed home, from work. I am excessively tired today. I need to do an errand for a friend after dinner but, after that, I am #gettinghigh and coasting, listening to #thebeatles #letitbe.

I am at #work in my #office in #westchestercounty #newyork. Out of the windows, I can see City Hall with its #artdeco #architecture. I have two more hours to go in my shift. I cannot wait to be at #home with my #wife, #cats, and #books again!

On the 1 train #nyc heading to #work in the city of #yonkers. It is sunny and a bit chilly.
