Rethink your words shirt

Product Description

I feel more connected Rethink your words shirt .With myself and my community on the subway than I do anywhere else. But as the tunnels have endured several high-profile assaults recently, culminating in a shooting on the same line my mother used to take to work in Sunset Park, I feel that connection fading and a piece of me withering. The subway defines home for a city of people united — above distance, race, class and labels — in relentless pursuit of dreams. And I am more scared of losing that home now than ever before.

In hopeful reclamation, I turned to Twitter, calling for subway memories Rethink your words shirt . As the many responses came in, I reeled from laughter to tears and back. In poured absurd stories of navigating the trains in impossibly elaborate costumes; of dodging urine streams, cockroaches and rats; of in-car concerts, break dancing, and a cappella. Of course there were accounts of violence, of children followed and women groped. But more than anything else, there were stories of community: good Samaritans assisting the lost, the sick, the drunk; passengers jumping to help others with luggage; readers bonding over books; dance parties sparking on platforms; and lifelong friendships forming from chance encounters. And time and again came a seemingly unanimous conclusion: The subway is the best, most cathartic public place to cry. If New Yorkers are unflappable, impervious and stoic on the sidewalk, we are raging, delighted, terrified, dancing, sobbing messes in the subway tunnels. How unsurprising, then, that the subway should be a pool of our collective pain amid the pandemic. The platforms are often a display of the frustrations of the unhoused and unemployed. The anxieties of those living without economic, emotional or medical support. The fears of immigrants and Asian and other nonwhite populations who find themselves scapegoats yet again. Though the subway has a unique power to bring New Yorkers together, in the pandemic it has also pushed us further apart. When the fear of Covid reached a zenith, and when I had been shouted at, spat on and shoved more than I could bear, I, like many other white-collar New Yorkers, worked at home and chose to travel by cab when needing to go any distance too long to walk. For many months, the pandemic kept me longing for the subway, but my privilege to avoid it also ensured my safety. In 2020, ridership dropped steeply in higher-income neighborhoods and in Midtown Manhattan, but the decline was less pronounced in neighborhoods in Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx, which are home to more lower-wage earners, people of color and essential workers.
