#FotoVorschlag “Bling-Bling!”

#photography #figurine #bettyboop #brooklyn #nyc

Photo of a Betty Boop figurine, one of several Betty Boops in a quirky window display in an apartment in Red Hook, Brooklyn. This one has been posed in a dancing position almost like a dap, with one arm extended and the other bent at the elbow, and with one leg raised. She’s wearing what looks like a 1920s flapper outfit: short black skirt, blue corset studded with pearls, silver bracelets, gold earrings, and a silver jewel-studded headband with a large blue-rimmed disc to one side. The figurine stands on a surface with a little step behind, all covered in green felt. The window glass reflects some cars parked at the curb and a storefront across the street.

More photos of the Romanian tall ship Mircea at the Brooklyn waterfront.

#SchiffSamstag #ShipSaturday #ship #tallships #brooklyn #nyc #photography

Another angled view looking up at the tall ship Mircea, this one including all three of its masts as well as a lifeboat hanging off its side. The ship is backlit by vague sunlight in an overcast sky. Small banners attached to one of the rope lines flutter in the breeze.
Closeup of several coils of rope lined up along the wooden railing of the tall ship Mircea. Beyond are some blue-and-yellow banners. Blurred in the distance are soccer players on a green field, which is adjacent to the pier where the ship is docked.
An angled view looking up at one of the masts of the tall ship Mircea. Three horizontal spars cross the vertical pole, though they’re angled slightly diagonally because of the orientation of the camera. Rope lines crisscross and connect with the spars at various points, and a mesh of rigging descends from the mast’s midpoint to the deck. One line of rope carries a series of small banners. The sky is overcast with gray clouds.
View looking up at a lifeboat hanging off the side of the tall ship Mircea. We see the underside of the boat, its hull painted white with “MIRCEA” in blue letters near its prow. Below is the larger ship’s hull with a broad yellow stripe running across its portholes and a series of blue-and-white banners along its top. Behind the lifeboat, one of the ship’s masts rises into a cloudy sky.

#SchiffSamstag #ShipSaturday

The Romanian tall ship Mircea, docked at the Brooklyn waterfront earlier this month after participating in New York’s Parade of Sail. I’ll post more photos in the comments.

#photography #ship #tallships #brooklyn #nyc

A large three-masted barque with its sails furled floats next to a pier with people milling about outside and on the deck. Its hull is white with a broad horizontal yellow stripe. In the image it’s off-center to the right, and behind it is the East River with the skyline of lower Manhattan. The sky is overcast with gray clouds.
A vertical wide-angle view onboard the deck of the tall ship Mircea, looking up towards the rear mast. The vertical pole and horizontal spars — as well as the diagonal ropes of the rigging radiating out from the central mast that’s just above and behind camera — create an image of striking geometric lines and angles. On the deck is a jumble of coiled ropes, furled sails, and covered lifeboats.
A view of New York Harbor through some of the ropes and rigging onboard the tall ship Mircea. The ropes run diagonally from upper left to lower right as well as horizontally, creating a wide mesh, with a wooden pulley in the foreground. Beyond is a wide expanse of water, with Governors Island and a very tiny Statue of Liberty on the horizon. The sky is overcast with low clouds.
A view of lower Manhattan from the deck of the tall ship Mircea. The deck has a yellow top railing with white and green sections below. A jumble of slack ropes lies on deck while other ropes extend upwards past the frame. Three long metal cylinders lean diagonally rightward and appear to connect some rope lines to the deck. Past them we can see the East River with Manhattan’s buildings on the far side, some of their tops disappearing into fog in an overcast sky.

Some creepy contrasting windows for today
#Photography #BlackAndWhite #AltText #nyc

A black and white photo taken at an upward angle towards the upper half of Saint Patrick's Cathedral. It seems to be listing a little to the left and behind it is a giant Black building with all glass windows. The giant spires of Saint Patrick's Cathedral jut up into the air and below them are arched stained glass windows and in the middle is a round stained glass window. The stained glass windows are of course not as noticeable in black and white. At the bottom are some tops of trees with branches and no leaves. The the rest of the photo is a clear gray sky. The photo has a Gothic creepy feel to it.

i honestly did not think she had it in her to do this. am pleasantly shocked and am saying it right now: she has won her re-election.

#NYS cannot afford to give away our drinking #water to OPEC backed vultures. NYS has one of the most extremely managed water systems in the world because, without it, #nyc wouldn’t exist.

Nannette does not look too pleased with her new friend 😼 #NYC #AltText #Photography

A color photo of a tortoiseshell cat whose mostly black and orange especially on the face but with a white bib and white paws. She is standing in between a bed and a small bench looking a little bit annoyed but right at the camera. Next to her is a pillow that my friend had made for her son. It's a picture of Nannette in the shape of her sitting up. Evidently Nannette is very suspicious of the new Nannette.

#FensterFreitag

Instead of the many usual windows, today is just the one reflection. I offer it to everyone in this country that needs to grow a spine. The holiday and the heat are making me testy.
#Photography #NYC #AltText #iPhonePhotography

A color photo that was taken looking into the window of a interior decorating place. The reflection from the window is many brown stones across the street and a large lamp post with a banner on it, as well as a white car towards the bottom and the sidewalk. Coming through from inside the store is a light fixture on the right hand side that is made up of more than a dozen little round light orange bubbles with light inside of them. But the main focus of the photo is a glass vertebrae that was hanging in the window. It looks just like the skeleton of your spine only made out of glass

so we’re having our own #canicule here in The City.

in Forecastie it says it’s 102°F (39°C). in OSS Weather it says it feels like 106°F (42°C).

what worries me is that purple Air Quality Index:

❝ Very Unhealthy.
Health alert: everyone may experience more serious health effects.❞

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_qual…

#ClimateCrisis #nyc #AQI #elNiño #weather

screenshot of the OSS Weather app’s forecast for New York City showing today feels like 106 degrees farenheit; maybe up to 110 degrees
image of the Environmental Protection Agency’s chart for measuring air quality. please go the Wikipedia page for a proper read-out of that information.

RE: mas.to/@therightarticle/116839…

in #nyc, the vast majority of #GenZ are of South Asian and MENA ascendancy, followed by the rest of Asia, Latine, diaspora Blacks, African Americans and the sundry euro-americans called white.

GenZ is USA’s first MINORITY MAJORITY.

collectively, it’s a majority LATINE of originario (native) & african ancestries; but in nyc it skews ASIAN & AFRICAN.

Mamdani represents that shift: he’s diaspora Indian born in Africa’s Uganda.

GenZ is a diaspora well acquainted with necropolitics & genocide

Heavy Metal

I visited Penn Station for the first time since the renovations, I don't travel much 😂 I had to get a ceiling photo of Moynihan train station #Photography #FensterFreitag #NYC #AltText

A color photo taken of the window ceiling of Penn Station. The upper 2/3 of the photo is covered in the small square windows of the ceiling. It was a grey day and everything looks very white. The ceiling is being held up in three places by huge steel beams that come to points in the middle and have other steel pieces that make triangles in between another beam going straight across the bottom. The bottom third of the photo shows the third beam through which you can see facing out the window another brick building that looks like it's encased in fog. In the middle of the photo is a round white faced clock surrounded in square black metal on a pole that cannot be seen. Across the bottom is a black metal beam and the words Daniel Patrick Moynahan Train Hall can be seen in tiny letters.

#NYC #Photography #AltText #Pride #ally

A color photo taken at the NYC pride parade. I couldn't get very high and I'm a little bit in the back. I did crop the photo so that no one was recognizable in the crowd. A girl whose face you cannot see and has black hair wearing green kitty ears, is holding her arm up in the air. She is waving a traditional pride flag that dominates the middle of the photo. The rest of the photo are the heads of people matching in the parade and bits of signs and other flags. Across the street are many old lighter colored buildings. The parade had an amazing energy😊🏳️‍🌈

#Voting #DemocraticParty #NYC #BlackMastodon #BlackFedi #BlackTwitter

The main stream Democratic party needs to wake up and smell the roses. People are tired of their complacency. NYC comes in very similar to DC. thecityreporter.nyc/2026/06/23…
Critics trying to minimize the fact that some moderates won are missing the point. Progressives don't need to win every seat, just enough to outvote the established main streamers who are afraid to fight.
