What Happened When I Posted About a Police Beating Near My Home on #Instagram

Yesterday, on my Instagram (which is usually just a lifestream), I posted the above screenshot of an article reporting on a police beating not far from my apartment in northern Manhattan, New York City. Sometimes I post screenshots of news articles like this because it's an easy way to quickly comment about a news story and have it crosspost easily to my blog. The vast majority of the time, this tactic inspires no one to comment on the original Instagram post. If someone does comment, it is always an agreeable response. However, this was not the case with this post about the police beating.

And this brings me to the question that is on my mind.

The #moon was looking pretty full and bright over my neighborhood tonight after the movie--especially #throughglass

Draw Every Day 4/21/12: Standing Man Fort Tryon Park

I started drawing this guy just as he decided to walk away. Literally. I started with the brim of his cap and then, after being there for a half hour, he left.  >_<  So, he's from memory and everything else is my interpretation of what was in front of me.

uh-oh! Two Mister Softee trucks this close together? This can't end well...

Saw this earlier today:

Irish Hunger Memorial at Battery Park City

Right in the middle of a bunch of modern buildings in southwest Manhattan there is a pile of dirt, a bunch of grass, plants, stones, a rock wall and the ruins of an old stone house, all of it taken from Ireland. Buried underneath part of it is an incredible light sculpture. The entire thing is a memorial to the victims of the Irish Potato Famine.

I'm not sure how effective this thing is, but it sure was neat to wander through and around it. When in Battery Park, the Irish Hunger Memorial is worth a visit.
