This week I’ve been confronting the fact that I am spending too much money on book subscription boxes. In one respect I don’t regret that because they are fun. But at the same time, I bought two this month that were total disappointments and I am trying to sell almost everything from them. I plan on sharing pictures and maybe even review posts soon BUT bookstagram has no chill and got very upset when I posted photos early (but only at me, not at anyone else) so I’m holding off for a while before sharing.

I got my new glasses this week and adjusting to them is taking longer (and leaving me dizzier) than expected. Also on Sunday I will be seeing My Neighbor Totoro for the first time. I’m excited!

Here is my favorite post that I shared on Instagram this week:

“You can find me anywhere.” ▪️ Sited near Eighth Avenue and West Fourteenth Street, New York City. ▪️ Several people were very annoyed with the original photo I shared today so here’s some street art instead. ▪️ In case you missed it (as I think most people did because let’s face it my account isn’t that big), I originally wanted to share a picture of the Owlcrate box for Vengeful and got chided for it. Which is fine except a lot of people posted photos in the same way I did and even earlier than mine and with a much larger follower base than me making the photo much more visible. In other words: I think the ship has sailed for anyone trying to use social media and avoid spoilers about it. ▪️ Anyway I deleted that photo. I’m not going to apologize for wanting to post right away since I was excited for some items and wanted to talk about them and (shame on me, I guess) thought I might get some new likes/follows by posting early about it. Lesson learned and I’ll never discuss it again. No shade on anyone who chided me I just don’t have the bandwidth for it today. ▪️ #ny #newyork #newyorkcity #nyc #manhattan #lowermanhattan #ny1pic #latergram #nofilter #citylove #concretejungle #cityphotography #nycphotographer #iloveny #cityview #streetlife #streetview #streetart #phoebenewyork #collageart #greenwichvillage #chelsea #westvillage #lowerwestside #youcanfindmeanywhere #collage #art #yellow #makeityellow #8thavenue
