I once drifted a few sweaters which led to a mini beg bug scare. Luckily was able to catch the little aholes that same night so no infestation. If you're going to do drifting I strongly suggest you isolate the items and thoroughly clean and disinfect them asap.

In Manhattan there’s a couple of thrift stores by the new school that has good stuff from all the fashion students. I like beacons closet which is a little more pricey than a Salvation Army but you find more out there stuff. L train is more like basics and is cheaper. You’ll find a bunch of stores in Williamsburg/bushwick

Everyone sucks here but centra park could be a lot worse, and I really can’t see how much of these proposals would make it better.

Except banning peticabs and horses. Fuck them!

I kindof like the idea of painting the pedestrian lane. Maybe better demarcating the fast bike lane from the slow bike lane in some way.

100% chance your home town has better finds than NYC.

The rent alone means just getting donations and selling them for $10 doesn’t work. If you’re looking for $100 t shirts you’re in luck

There are plenty of cheap thrift stores but it’s all just a bunch of h&m and next

It's been awhile but my go tos were metropolis vintage and L train vintage. There's a ton of vintage and thrift stores in that area in general, the more mainstream ones being buffalo exchange, beacons closet and crossroads trading for consignment shopping. Also fun to check out search & destroy.

Bullshit. Democrats have had a plan for decades to reform the immigration system through expansion of courts and eliminating bureaucratic cruft in order to allow us to process more people faster. It’s Republicans who are the ones who are stonewalling that outright and then turning around and saying they’re “for open borders” and “weak on immigration.”
