first time feeling like the attacks were an affront to
My
city

not to the country as a whole that everyone says i should claim
but i’m still not so certain

and it has to do with
time
community
and electing a mayor i’m so proud to have represent us

in all events

yes, even/especially at happenings for memorials and things
tonight

so fuck your anti-Muslim sentiments
because if we can’t all be americans
we can at least all be New Yorkers

i know this

and i’ll wear that badge of honor everywhere

July 19, 2026

the only thing i looked up
in terms of the world cup
was what day it
ends

that’s today!
that’s today!

i won’t have to deal with my
city, my
commute, my
life
being interrupted
anymore
after today

[and i made sure today was a day
i stayed the fuck at home anyway]

good riddance to these hassles

and good riddance to the idea
that people would come into this country
as it slides down its slippery slope to abject fascism

i hope it was boycotted to the point of abject failure

[i sure know i’d never pay $93 to take a bus to jersey]

*side note: at least those who did travel, met american citizens in these cities
who showed our allegiance is not with the current administration,
and perhaps world relations are bettering in some ways

which i suppose is part of the point of the world cup

ugh…
