mastodon 4.7.3I have a tattoo of a mammoth, so Mastodon seemed right?
Nebula-Award-winning author of stories, mediocre social media observations, and books, including BLACKFISH CITY, THE ART OF STARVING, BOYS, BEASTS & MEN and KID WOLF & KRAKEN BOY. Exhausted activist. Queer Jew. Obsessive gamer fully stuck in 1991. He/him.
Surely I'm not alone in suspecting that the TV show "Friends" was part of an epic conspiracy to gentrify New York City?
What? Just me?
Well. I wrote a short-short story about it, out now in the awesome new issue of the fantastic Baffling Magazine, from Neon Hemlock.
@angusm@mastodon.social Congrats!!!!
@adam@social.lol @bixfrankonis@social.lol awww I love that
@adam@social.lol @bixfrankonis@social.lol As long as it wasn't Albany Academy lol - when the swim team competed there they were such entitled assholes to us it's prejudiced me against anyone from there for life
(I mean I've since met awesome folks who went there of course, but my first response is suspicion)
@adam@social.lol @bixfrankonis@social.lol oh shit what high school did you go to
@bixfrankonis@social.lol @adam@social.lol ah, yeah I was 7 in 86. Didn't start going there on my own until 94? Ish?
@bixfrankonis@social.lol @adam@social.lol oh damn what year was that? Must have missed it 😭😭😭
@bixfrankonis@social.lol I was fortunate to grow up in a region with so many excellent place names! And I remain committed to providing little moments of recognition to the far-flung Upstate Diaspora! (of which I am a not-so-far-flung piece, in NYC)
One of my favorite New York City spaces. Anyone recognize this?
