Thursday – photo by Mitch Waxman Well… this is it. The shots from my last ride on the NYC Ferry, and the literal sunset for my interval shooting NY Harbor. It’s hard not to feel all choked up, as the harbor has been at the literal center of my life for decades. The tugboats, the bridges, Fireboats, the… Creek. Usually, when I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed or emotional, I’ll put on some…

fuck copyright law!!! can you imagine if all the paintings of the renaissance were locked between a copyright cage??? Imagine the total loss of history, the loss of artistic theory, the loss of ideas and expression. This is exactly what will happen with video games if corporations sue archivists and emulators. It’s not like they have any interest in preserving the history if it doesn't make them money

#like as a history buff i am heart broken about this!!!! #video games are one of the biggest artistic mediums today and greed keeps us from accessing its history #fuck corporations pirate and rip video games as much as u can #preserve that history when it inevitably becomes lost media and corpos dump thhe master copies into the ny harbor

rewatching vbros with me and emil's obsessive & insane titled "autism doc" that we fill out & write out at length after each episode . i am calmed by the fact that i like the early seasons (so far. we are only finishing up s2 rn) so so so much, and ik i like so many eps in s3, i am curious to see if i still hate the narrative tank in s4 & to see how much i dont like the narrative direction of the NY seasons . but i will always have the first few seasons to remember so fondly

#s1 was like def weak esp w b/rock but my god i really love s2 #there were eps in both i was like meh i dont remember liking that one much/am indifferent but on the rewatch it was like okay this rules #all to say if i hate the direction of the movie. whatever i have never like the NY direction its whatever #and i have so many fond memories of the early stuff. it makes me really happy [: its been so fun so far #BUT we shall see. so many eps i didnt think i cared much for turned out to be really good #im curious to see if something bigger like narrative arcs hold up as well. bc while eps i thought werent good just from a lack of interest #or having nothing memorable from my past rewatch. i do actually remember & still harbor feelings for narr. direction so it is. curious #text tag

Cedarmere

It feels wrong to gatekeep this just because it's MY FAVORITE PLACE ON EARTH and I don't want people going there and messing it up or seeing me weep over its immense beauty and magic.

Okay, I'm being a little dramatic here but truly, Cedarmere IS my favorite place on earth and it IS filled with beauty and magic.

LET'S START WITH THE BASICS AS USUAL BEFORE I START WAXING POETIC ABOUT A PARK ON LONG ISLAND:

💰: FREE

⏰: the PARK is open from dusk until dawn, 365 days (as of now, due to Covid, the mansion remains closed unless specified on the website)

📍: 225 Bryant Ave., Roslyn Harbor, Long Island, NY

♿️: there IS handicapped parking, but this place doesn't have paved paths, so do with that handicapped parking what you will

🏃‍♀️: beginner intensity, this isn't so much about the hikes as it is the "vibes" and the strolls

🐶: as far as I'm aware, pets are not explicitly forbidden

🚗: two parking lots, the lower lot around the curve is my preferred

📸: moderate "Instagramability",

William Cullen Bryant (1794-1878) was a prolific poet, an abolitionist, an outspoken activist for worker's rights, the long time editor of The New York Evening Post, and was the main tenet of Cedarmere. (He's also a huge reason we have Central Park and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, so big ups to WCB for all he did for New York back in the day).

Bryant created an oasis on the North Shore of Long Island that I don't even remember finding for the first time anymore but I knew that when I did.. this was something special. It's a very small estate and only has some small hills and short paths around the mansion and pond and down to the boathouse. Cedarmere, again, isn't about "the hike"; it's solely about the feeling.. the magic.. the serenity.. the beauty.. the intentionality of each piece of the estate.

This place was made with care and love and it shows.

Cedarmere is maybe a weird first suggestion of places on Long Island to visit for a "hike" or an "adventure", especially since it's small and unknown and the Nassau County Museum of Art is just up the hill (on former Bryant property as well). I think off the beaten path, the unknown and unexpected, yet completely remarkable are worth all the time in the world and the best places to seek out.

TRAIL SUGGESTION:

I don't really have a "trail suggestion" because there really is only so much of this park to explore. It is very small and I think the only technical trail is around the large pond pictured below.

Cedarmere doesn't have the trails or breadth of space, but it does have features. It has a definitely peacefully haunted house, a beautifully restored boathouse, a serene, murky and gentle pond, a stone bridge, strategic lookout points for glorious sunset views of Hempstead Harbor, an overgrown reflecting pool leading to a dilapidated fountain that fills with tulip tree petals and radiates pink in the spring, and a boxwood maze that surrounds the most beautiful magnolia tree you've ever seen in your life. Pictures and words are not enough, this place is spectacularly beautiful in the Spring especially but really, always.

Cedarmere brings me peace just explaining it to you. It is a place that makes you exhale and feel safe and still.

DRIVING ROUTE:

This will probably be the first and last time I give a suggestion of HOW to drive to a particular park. This may sound bizarre but just hear me out, Roslyn is a phenomenally old little town that is just steeped in American history and it is deeply picturesque.

My preferred route for the full effect:

If you're driving up from the southern parts of Long Island, I recommend the scenic route of Roslyn Road going North (which will turn into Main Street once you cross into Roslyn). Some of the oldest structures and houses in Nassau County live on this street and are treated with such care by their current residents. You can always stop in on Gerry Park to your right, but that's just a lovely little unnecessary stop if you ask me. Once you hit the Clocktower, which you truly can't miss, the road forks and you want to stay to the right and drive through town, a whopping two blocks? and you will hit another fork in the road. This time, you want to turn LEFT onto Bryant Avenue (does it feel like you're getting close? You are!). You will pass Diane's Bakery on your left before you go under the viaduct, and if you're looking for a little something to eat before heading to Cedarmere or after leaving there, I do recommend stopping by this long-time Rosyln staple. Once you pass under the viaduct, you should soon see a white house on the curve of the road and maybe even a gravel-filled parking lot (this is where you will pull in for the handicapped parking). I NEVER park in the first gravel parking lot, personally, I ALWAYS round the bend and park behind the house around the curve on the left side of the road.

The website has more directions but that's certainly my route of choice, and yes, I have been here enough times that I have a literal way I prefer to get there.

I've been known to haunt this place regardless of the time of year or time of day. It is most special in Spring though I think (although that's probably my opinion on everywhere as I really love flowers...).

Cedarmere is magic.

Go and experience it as quickly as humanly possible.

This is like #1 on my "Run, Don't Walk" list of places to go.

[six-of-ravens]

I have finished part 3 (about 110 pages in), so an update on thoughts and predictions:

Callum and Nico are more interesting than originally thought. Callum is still a rich asshole, but at least he's a rich asshole in a fun and evil way and not just a boring way. It's an informed trait that Nico is rich, but he doesn't act like the stereotype at least.

I read ahead to see who dies (disappears?), and after the last few chapters it doesn't come as a surprise. I won't spoil it, but while [redacted] is certainly strong in a magical sense, they're extremely insecure, emotionally vulnerable, and easily manipulated, and I feel like that'll be their downfall. Also, gotta break up the power couple to make sure you have a cliffhanger so people read the sequel *shrug emoji*

Reina is quite fun. Did not expect everyone to underestimate her, but she clearly gives no fucks and I like that.

Parisa is still a one-note mean girl seductress, and Tristan is still a one-note social climber with bad decision-making skills and daddy issues, which is deeply annoying. Everyone else got new Hidden Depths over the past few chapters, but not them.

Also, getting tired of Parisa being an unrepentant asshole to absolutely everyone (or everyone she wouldn't fuck) constantly. Does she come with an off switch? Like, I don't mind an asshole character but when all they do is snark at people constantly and (again!) have no personality traits except Hot and Mean, it gets old real fast.

Again, this is the problem with 6 perspectives, some are just not necessary because the characters don't have character arcs. We could've done with just Libby and Nico tbh, maybe Reina, but even her perspective doesn't seem totally necessary, much as I like her. Libby and Nico are the most developed, and the most plot happens around them (like, in the battle scene they split up, and we check in with Nico and see what Libby is doing through Tristan's perspective. We never bother with Parisa and Callum though!)

Also I worried about scenes being repeated too much, but now I'm annoyed at what's being left out, especially since this author seems to like to hold what you don't know over your head instead of finding a way to give you info throughout the rest of the story. Why didn't we get to see Parisa and Callum during the fight scene? Why is she mad now? I bet we'll never know. We still don't know what this recruitment speech was about and yet it's referenced quite often...

Speaking of, what a wild fucking fight. Like, all these people are suddenly powerful and aware and highly trained enough to fend off multiple attacks, both magic and gun-based?? From like 4 different specialized agencies?? Because apparently the day these new recruits enter the building is Open Season for whoever wants to rob the library?? I get the point the author was trying to make, but. Highly unrealistic.

For the sake of not sounding like I'm only hating on this book: the writing style is fairly good. And there's more to the magic system than I thought there would be, even though it's still pretty basic AAAHHHHHH I'm sorry but. come on. "magic uses energy just like sports" is what we've got. there has to be more than that!!

So yeah, characters I like so far: Libby (...somewhat), Nico, Reina, and potentially Callum. I have basically begun skimming Tristan's segments because my god, I do not care about your father and how much he doesn't love you and how you gave up your dream of an easy life for this for apparently no reason. And Parisa is the same as always. We haven't gotten a chapter in her perspective in a while, and it's probably because she spent the whole fight scene either trying to fuck Callum or trying to decide whether to fuck Tristan again. Or scheming about how to fuck Dalton.....you get the picture. If there's more to her, we have not seen it, and since we've been in her brain, I can only assume that's because it doesn't exist.

#steph reads tas #oh also we finally found out what they're doing at the library #basically just independent study and also security detail? #but the library of Alexandria is in England now. because why not. and it hasn't been moved because it had to be protected during wwii???? #the author does not seem to know england was devastated during the war but OKAY #SURE AUTHOR IT'S SAFER OUTSIDE OF LONDON THAN IN NEW YORK BECAUSE PEARL HARBOR #anyway time to make dinner #edit: re: the tags: apparently the US wanted the library moved to NY but was turned down bc Pearl Harbor #as if it was any safer just outside of london... #come on there were surely SOME countries that were fairly safe during the war! #iceland....new zealand...probably like...madagascar.... #idk much about wwii but i do know london was a bad place to be!!
