Very cool.

When it comes down to it, all of us can’t live in New York City. All of us can’t live in Williamsburg. A bunch of us live in Jersey.
Holla atcha Jersey girl right here!
New Jersey was my favorite character in The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.
Oh, me too! And I went to Rutgers! I know I’ve mentioned it before, but I saw Diaz read there in 1998 when I was a first-year. He was the first writer I ever saw/heard read, and Drown was the first contemporary literary work I ever read.

On the train again. Didn’t get on here - took this from my window. In the background you can see how my alma mater is taking over the city. Then as the train starts moving, all the hospitals. The dirt parking lot behind one. The girl in the hillel t-shirt and pants with a hole who met her boyfriend on the platform and kissed him but he seemed embarrassed. Like the typical train platform kiss described in “Franny” by J.D. Salinger. “Somewhat inhibited in the follow-through” is part of how he describes it, I think.
There was also a shitty parking lot surrounded by a chain-link fence with a bunch of beat up blue U.S. Postal mailboxes tossed in any which way. Dead letter department of sorts.
Women fought long and hard for the right to vote a century ago, not without resistance. Honor their legacy by making sure your vote counts this season.
