Had a great turn out for today's event at CUNY York College. Hoping someone shares pictures of participants in action with me because I can never take photos while making paper with people.
We made casts from 2 sections of the sculpture. I think people enjoyed it and appreciated the sculpture in a new way!

A green metal arch in the courtyard of a brick building, partially covered with pieces of green and white paper. The sky above it is perfectly clear and blue, and the arch casts a crisp shadow. There are small trees and a tall building in the background.

I was delighted to get & read my copy of Alt-Text Selfies — https://alttextselfies.net — a project I found out about at WordHack in #nyc.

The book has great examples of #disability poetics (or writing, if that sounds too elevated), notes from the three editors (Olivia Dreisinget, Bojana Coklyat, and Finnegan Shannon), & two essays. There are no photos, just ALT texts!

These gave me new insight into access. I also learned about selfie and self ekphrasis; the lessons there are for everyone.

My copy of Alt-Text Selfies has the standard handwritten cover, pink with black lettering and a heart symbol. There’s orange coil binding and a strip of Braille text. Raised stickers from the dollar store are applied all over; my favorite one is the gemstone-like heart.

The back cover has some handwritten folksonomic tags: Narrative, funny, word economy, multi-sensory, sexy, multi-photo, movement, movement, nature, lush description, fashion, smell, animals, objects, collaborative, feelings, time travel, disabled body, apt metaphors, inventive language, birthday selfie, gender play, embodiment, self-reflection. And, ISBN: 979-8-9898562-0-6

Public Transit Should Be Free, example # 9231834: https://hellgatenyc.com/my-long-twilight-struggle-to-get-omny-to-take-my-money/

It was upon my return to Brooklyn that I got the "Card Not Accepted" message. I tried again; same message. I then realized what must have happened—I had maxed out my credit card with the subway ride from my apartment. I then approached the MTA worker at the station for some assistance. I told her, I'm sure you deal with fare evaders all the time, but I'm not one of those. I'm a grown man, a professional with, yes, a maxed-out credit card, but a checking account with thousands of dollars in cash in it. I'm ready to pay my share and ride the train, and you're paid to help people pay for and ride the train. We're a match made in heaven. What do you say?

"I can't help you with your card. Call your bank," she replied.

No problem, right? My functioning debit card is also in my Apple Wallet, and I also paid down my credit card on the Bank of America app then and there. I just need to switch the ole payment method and I should be riding the subway via OMNY to my heart's content…

This is when things got fucking annoying. When I clicked to pay the outstanding charge, the payment method that popped up was my old debit card. Nevermind, I thought, I'll just pay with my actual debit card, or my now-functioning credit card, both of which were listed as payment methods. But when I clicked on the outstanding $2.90 charge, there was only the option to pay with the card that had declined, which got declined because it no longer exists.

The MTA was dead set on getting $2.90 from my old Susan G. Komen Bank of America Debit Card ending in 0114. Any other way, they weren't having it.

It was outside of business hours for OMNY customer service (but within business hours for the subway and bus systems), so I didn't call. I shot over an email and went to sleep, sure that by the morning, I would hear back from OMNY and my transit life would be back on track.

But that morning passed, and so did another, and then another. Life got in the way, and I got used to life with a MetroCard again and resigned myself to forever owing the MTA $2.90. But then I returned from a trip to California, and full of hope, decided to try to use my phone to pay for my AirTrain. Perhaps the passage of time had fixed things. No: "Card Not Accepted," "Card Not Accepted." Enough was enough. OK, you're not getting the $2.90 from the Visa ending in 0114, MTA. That's not happening. You're going to have to accept that the Spirit Airlines Bank of America Free Spirit® Travel More World Elite Mastercard is all we have now.

I finally called OMNY customer service. Sixty people were ahead of me, but I waited, and finally, I got to Levi. "I couldn't explain to you why they made it that way," Levi told me, referring to the inability to switch payment methods on a declined charge, "but that's the system we have to work with."

way," Levi told me, referring to the inability to switch payment methods on a declined charge, "but that's the system we have to work with." Could he fix things? He told me that he had to try to use my old debit card to pay the $2.90 I owed on his end, and then I had to try it again on my end on the OMNY website, and then, and only then, would I be allowed to change my payment method and reawaken my OMNY tap-to-pay. Three "Your Payment Was Not Successful" emails later, we had done it—we had switched my payment method.

I went to the Parkside Avenue subway station and tapped my phone. It lit up red again. FUCK. But it said "Try Again." So I did. Green. My nightmare was over…

Even as the MTA plans to phase out MetroCards by the end of this year, it's still treating OMNY as if it's a neat experiment, and not a robust system that the entire city of New York is going to need to use to get around. If I've learned anything, it's this: Don't max out your credit card on a subway ride.

Fancy new building amenities, seen near the Javitz Center #nyc #photography #iphonephotography #EastCoastKin #streetphotography

Photo taken through a thin blind from one building of the side of another new building on the very west side of Manhattan. It is a new glass and steel façade with a deck with many lounge chairs for the residents. To the left side on the deck is a very large sculpture of a yellow character that looks like Bert from Sesame Street doesn't have the shirt

Good morning from Harlem

#Photography #GoodMorning #Sunrise #NYC #Windows #GoodMorningFromHarlem

Looking through an arched window an hour after sunrise the sky is full of large lumpy gray clouds. Pointed roofs of Harlem brownstones with red brickwork are across the street, and a taller apartment building can be seen in the distance.

A sticker featuring Warren, the cute, hoodie-wearing, elephantine mascot of Masto.NYC. In this one, Warren is riding in a yellow taxicab. The sticker’s applied to the corner of a MIDI keyboard.

This sticker of Warren emerging from an NYC subway station is affixed to a notebook.

This sticker of Warren buying a snack from a street vendor (who is a raccoon) is on a laptop lid.

A larger sticker of Warren tagging a brick wall with “Find me on Masto.NYC” using a spray-paint can held in their trunk. It’s stuck to a PlayStation game console.

“Wake Up and Smell the C*VID: An evening without Eric Bogosian”: new play takes aim at NYC mask ban and more

https://www.thecanary.co/global/world-news/2025/03/31/wake-up-and-smell-the-covid/

"As New York State’s budget deadline looms, so too does the specter of a proposed mask ban …"

"Wake Up and Smell the C*VID isn’t a typical play—it’s an intervention. A rupture. A refusal.

It refuses the erasure of an ongoing mass disabling event."

Apparently under corrupt #NYC mayor Officer Adams, the NYPD had a policy of "throwing out misconduct cases without looking at the evidence" which has supposedly ended.
