Spider-Man

#nyc #newyork #newyorkcity #spiderman

Yesterday was a lot of fun. I got to around trying to help people and parkouring in NY, so I had a whole bunch of side quests throughout the day. Y’know that one scene from spider-man homecoming with blitzkrieg bop, or the miles morales game? Yeah, it was like that kinda stuff. (My phones about to die lol, I’ll edit the caption later so it’s not dry af 🤪🤪🤪 or I’ll forget about it.) (I’ll probably forget about it.)

Note for slide 8-9: There was an accident and I ended up assessing and mending a guy while we waited for NY first responders because I volunteer EMS here in Virginia. taken in New York City by @swallcrawler

My friend @olivia_biochem has made a sensational food map of the valley! I’m reposting it (with permission) to this account in the hope that it can find more people and serve as a valuable community resource! The rest of this caption comes directly from their post. I’ll be updating my account to include this link.

@olivia_biochem : Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm for my local Food Map of the Valley! I started with two pins yesterday, and we are now up to 61 locations!
In the process of making the map, l’ve discovered a neat feature shown in the video below: You can keyword search the descriptions of all the locations using the search bar by typing in what you’re looking for, ex: “eggs” (without hitting enter) and seeing which pins pop up in the drop down below.
You can also click “highlight all matches from my map” in the drop down, and it will highlight every pin with that word in the description with a white halo. I’ve included as much detail as possible in the descriptions, so you can also search the name of your city, ex: “Staunton” to see if any further away places offer pick up closer to you (for example, Mt. Crawford Creamery is in Mt. Crawford but supplies over 50 stores, including ones in Staunton and Harrisonburg). You can also search the terms “SNAP” or “EBT” to find farm stores that take those benefits.
I made the little image with QR codes below for anyone who wants to to save and share, so you never have to worry about losing the links.
The links to the map and Google Form for getting your operation on the map are repeated below (click the link in my bio for both):
This is the map: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit? mid=1-MMqxF6FuT4CcXgi2LAgGnunviqzJA8&usp=sharing
And this is a form to fill out for local producers who want to be added to the map: https://forms.gle/3z5neHc8poFxMfm39 by @swallcrawler

This is gonna do numbers with the melodramatic crowds. (It’s okay though, everyone feels this way, whether they talk about it or not. That’s the case for most things) by @swallcrawler

What a WEEK. I’m actually so exhausted right now that it feels like pulling teeth to actually write this out. I can’t even take a day off though because I HAVE SCHOOL TOMMOROW. UGHHHHHHHH :(((((((( WTFFFFFFF >:(((((((((.
I’m chill. I’m so chill. I’m Joe chill. (Look out Thomas and Martha Wayne)
But to sum it up, this week we closed up the cooling shelter (we do need volunteers on the 11th to help clean up), and I’m back to the grind on the streets now that everyone is uhhh… back on the streets. :/.
It was really hard seeing the shelter all empty, and knowing what that means for so many of my friends. But when there’s nothing you can do? You do what you can. Life isn’t as melodramatic as a lot of people make it out to be. I mean I’m pouring my heart out on the internet despite how ill-advised that is nowadays. Not to be a hypocrite about saying “life isn’t as melodramatic as people make it out to be”, but life is cruel, chaotic and unfair. And it’s gonna hand you a lot of awful, disappointing and ill timed situations. But you gotta make the best out of each and every one of them, no matter how exhausting it gets!
Just keep going. “Just keep swimming.” Even if you’re crying, tired, unshaven & exhausted? You keep going. You’re not any stronger for not crying about it. You’re stronger for it. You’re not stronger for not being scared. You’re stronger for having the courage to have fear and keep going. That doesn’t mean you don’t gotta change course sometimes, especially when life hands you hard circumstances. And sometimes you have to make choices that absolutely hurt your soul. But that’s life! Life can be so cruel sometimes. But you have to keep going. for me? That means getting back out there (not that I ever left, but I’ve been running a shelter for a hot minute), and doing the best I can in school and fighting for my community. by @swallcrawler

Let me tell you something. This Spider-Man stuff???? IT GETS INTENSE.
This week started off SO BADLY.
I was late for class, I was late for work, my schedule was a mess and my knee looked like a deviant art account’s interpretation of a swollen knee, and my laundry chair? Well… I don’t wanna talk about my laundry. That’s a WIP…

And yeah, I got CHEWED OUT this week, and honestly I deserved way worse than what I got, but I think my mentors & my bosses know me well enough to know that Ill do 80% of the work on chewing myself out if they tell me straight up that I need to get my S#!t together. Needless to say? I needed to get my head into the game this week, and that’s exactly what I did.

Homework? Finished.
Quizzes? First one to get it written down and head out of class
Internship? Breezy. I found a free CPR class nearby, and I’m pretty sure I can schedule a safetalk class by the end of the week.
Helping people? Kicking butt per usual.
My knee? Actually I should probably rest it a lot more than I have been.
Laundry?? ….
Scheduled a full week of volunteers at the shelter.

I think my greatest weakness is how I organize myself. I need to get better at that. Maybe I’ll just buy a calendar for myself to put in my bookbag or something. by @swallcrawler

So… I haven’t posted in about a month now? Let’s talk about that. What’s cracking? What’s popping?
A lot actually. A lot is popping.
Ive been setting up & organizing events, volunteers, and have been being spider-man pretty much full time for 3 weeks now, which is insane. In that time I’ve been able to help people build non-ai generated resumes, apply for local jobs, college, Fafsa, swing them over to their appointments, & retrieve ID’s and SSN’s. Am I tired? I’d answer yes. As a matter of fact, I’m typing this post at 3:12 in the morning (EST.) But I’m tired and fulfilled! I wish I had taken research methods sooner because my alter-ego would LOVE to go to city hall and RUUUUUUUUUB the accomplishments of the shelter in their face. Idk if many of you watch the show will and grace, but it’s my “Aunt Mays” favorite. Well in the show Grace does this little diddy called the “told ya so” dance. Ans It goes a little something like this: “Told ya so. Told ya so. Told ya. Told ya. Told ya so.” I’d like to do that little dance, and rub it in that maybe there IS a necessity to have a shelter and easily accessible services for your constituents. Am I being cocky? Duh. But I don’t think my cockiness is without merit. I’ve fought alongside these guys for 3 weeks, and I’m incredibly proud of everything they’ve all achieved in such a short amount of time. I’m cocky even if I were to fail & crash and burn, I fought with every atom in my body. And no matter how hard we get hit? We always get back up here. And my friends here at the shelter have taken son big hits and have still gotten back up. I’m a man of my word. And I will fight for my community with my words, presence, time, resources, actions & fists until I can no longer do so. And even then, I’ll still find a way to keep going.
I’m not a RLSH. I’m just a vigilant masked college kid. A friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. :) by @swallcrawler
