  • Hey, I actually voted for Mamdani! I live in Brooklyn and the support was there for him. There were people canvassing until the last day . Don’t want to give away too too much info on here, but to see him win and be able to overcome all the hate and Islamophobia is really inspiring. I’m also a first gen immigrant, and when I came here as a toddler I didn’t know any English. I’m glad he’s demonstrating that this is our city too, we will it to run, we do the dirty jobs, see the unseen, clean the filth, care for the old and sick only not to be seen as essential. Personally I’m not Muslim, but I’ve always had respect for the values of the religion. When I read The alchemist by Paulo Cuelho (the first time) it was amazing to realize that people could truly be bound to do good by religion. NYC has always been a melting pot, and it shouldn’t be run by someone who doesn’t see and appreciate that. Anyways, know that your hope and my hope are the same. Come January we’ll begin and see if there is still something worth fighting for. We really are only at the precipice.

    This is stupid and it doesn’t make any sense. People should have a right to know if it’s inclusive? If other races are portrayed? If other sexual orientations are portrayed? The only people who mind are bigots, and they can just move on. What’s especially remarkable to me is that bigots aren’t satisfied with not partaking, they desperately and pathetically need others to share that view, because in their minds, then it isn’t wrong.


  • There isn’t any more. Honestly, it’s just you. You can keep commenting to no end, but my kindness does expire. No one is going to want to be part of your community if you don’t see a need for kindness. Why don’t you keep going? Maybe there is someone here who is the same sort of desperate. Maybe you can find them. This is why communication and communities exist.


  • You might not have anyone to talk to, and I’m genuinely sorry for you, but why persist in replying to someone you don’t agree with? You seem to want some engagement whether negative or not. I honestly wish you the best, because it seems like you’re trying extremely hard to grab attention, get a reply, and have some reply. Just know you can do that positively, and if you did, I’d forgive you for it.






  • I think it’s important for people to know how their body works; besides that I guess they would understand why saliva can be used as a DNA sample. It can also be used to identify blood type, so maybe someone who doesn’t want to get blood drawn because they are afraid of needles can have their blood type identified that way. Isn’t this a community for information, just for information’s sake? Whether it’s useful or not is ultimately subjective. I can delete the post though, if it really is that redundant.
