I do not even know to whom I should address this letter, but here it is: Fix the fucking MTA before NYC takes to the streets and does something you will sorely regret. We are sick of 45 minute commutes taking 2 hours. We are sick of every single option to get home being “delayed…

My Dearest Michelle
My Dearest Michelle, It has been a little while since I last wrote a love note, much less a love letter and I find myself at a bit of a loss on how to start. I know that in our day-to-day lives I tend to withhold praise and adulation, but I do hope you know…

To Those Who Won the Genetic Lottery
To Those Who Won the Genetic Lottery: Not all of us can tan. WE JUST CAN’T. Please stop trying to explain to me the best way to get a tan, what methods of sunscreen application alternated with what-the-fuck-ever, and how long on each side for optimal crispiness without burn.

Dear Subway Rider
Dear Subway Rider, Thank you. I know I do not say this often, but thank you. The other night I donated whole blood for the first time in a while and it hit me harder than I thought it would. Typically I donate platelets which takes 1.5 to 2 hours and does not affect me very…
Dear Universe
Dear Universe, A poop that big is not supposed to come out of a creature that small. Sincerely, Disturbed Human
Hey Numbnuts
Hey Numbnuts, It’s fucking rude and annoying to stand directly in front of an opening subway door while on the platform for many reasons. Firstly, you are deliberately cutting in front of the people who are following etiquette and standing slightly to the side. Secondly, you are blocking the train passengers from being able to…
