It’s always come through for me. Although I do want neighborhood lemons or tamales on fb marketplace it still hasn’t been the move, maybe I need that killer furniture come up but until then, it’s CL for me, baby!
F*ck Meta but dang there’s nothing more wholesome than a local Facebook Group. Seeing my Brooklyn neighborhood come together to refer local joints/find a lost AirPod/give landlord advice/recommend the best loaf of bread in the neighborhood is my FAVORITE pastime.
Are you in your micro-neighborhood’s “Buy Nothing“ group? Free shit!!
I like asking this at parties and on first dates and other introductory meetings. It's a pretty disarming question and usually elicits an honest answer. It's a gateway to much deeper convo about growing up and who the speaker is now. It has made a few people really uncomfortable though. I don't like to pry if they're off-put by the question. I usually follow-up with, yea I don't like mine either haha... (I like my flawed parents).
This is the best Winter salad. One of the best salads ever. (period) Fennel, radicchio and oranges. Add in some grapefruit and toasted almonds for an extra *pop* of flavor and color. A little olive oil, some white wine vinegar or balsamic. All u need.
