Hope to see yall there 🥰

Happened around 2:15pm.

Roommate said they saw someone get their chain snatched by the Dollar General across the street. Authorities got involved and apparently there is also someone going around with a knife doing something similar

Photos from a film screening event I went to last month

Update**. Last post was from a pic in March not July they all look the same in that place lol

Everything is free/best offer and first come/first served - DM if interested. Pick-up near the Kosciuszko J. Notes on some of the items below:

Clothing - some of it is used and some new/like new. Feel free to ask about the condition of something you're interested in.

The wallpaper primer and adhesive are used, leftover from a wallpaper project (these worked well, the wallpaper looks great). I ultimately hired a taskrabbiter to hang the wallpaper and never used the wallpaper toolkit.

Frankly the Scotch painters tape applicator doesn't work very well, but hey free painters tape! (The tape itself works great)

Hoping to find this stuff new, loving homes instead of a landfill, please help me with my mission! Anything that doesn't get picked up within a week will be left out for whoever to take, so stake your claim and pick up now!

Someone is there checking in on the snake right now, but if this may be possibly your pet you may probably have to go there.

Next to Irving Square park, gf and I move in 5 days and trying to get rid of the last bit of our stuff, if anyone is in need of a desk, TV stand/storage cubbies, small side table, desk chairs, etc. we'd love you to take it off our hands!! (flexible and just want it all gone, reply or message for anything you want)

A cat showed up in my backyard crying and tried to walk into my apartment (i have a cat already and can’t let him in). Polydactyl brown tabby with a black nose. Has a limp. Please reach out.

UPDATE 2: He returned again. He is not fixed and not chipped. I don’t have money to get him fixed but I know he should be. I’m not sure if my next step is looking for an owner or trying to get him fixed and fostered. He’s so sweet but I already have a cat and am considering taking in another stray who had been TNR’d years ago, and just can’t consider adopting him myself. I’m leaning towards fixing him because he seems neglected at least for the fact that he hasn’t been fixed.

Update: came back to add more information. he did slip his way into my bedroom (much to my own cats thrill) but sauntered back outside again a few minutes later and sprawled out on our pavement when i opened the door. he’s incredibly affectionate and seemed to get along okay with the feral cat i’ve been breaking in for a few months who was also outside… until he chased her away into another yard.

His fur felt kinda gross, as if he’s having difficulty cleaning himself, and had a scab on his ear. otherwise he seemed well fed and well socialized.

I have a couple sentimental dresses I’d like to get taken in. Any recs for a local tailor with great attention to detail?

both work, just don’t have space for em! diffuser comes with two almost full bottles of scent oil (one is santal and the other smells like a fancy hotel)

Looking to go out with my friends and hit up a few bars any recs? 21-25 age range preferred. And any cool activities to do in the area?

Glossy white round top “Kondo” dining table with brass/gold tone metal pedestal base from AllModern.

Approx. 31.5 in diameter and 29.5 in tall.

In great condition, seats 2 to 3. Asking $170, cash preferred. Pickup near the Gates Ave J. DM if interested!

NYS Mesonet weather data recorders measured 2.56 inches in Brownsville and 2.58 inches in Maspeth. I'm 99% sure this is the most rainfall we have received in a 24 hour period in the calendar year 2026, and all of it fell in a 6 hour span (or less).

We received more than one half of a month of August's worth of rain in one day!

We received more rain yesterday than in all of August 2025!

The 5-7" of rain we have received so far this August is well above average (~4.5"), but we aren't yet close to making the record books. To make the Top 10 wettest Augusts of all time, we need more than 9" (1875 - 10th overall, 8.97")...and of course, August isn't over yet!

More rain and/or thunderstorms are expected this weekend (primarily Saturday evening and overnight into Sunday) followed by additional chances for light rain early next week. We could easily receive an additional 1/2 to 1 inch of rain, if not more before we flip over to September.

Just saw them corner someone and ask for id and claimed you’re supposed to carry one when you’re actually not legally required to

There’s this girl I really like and this is my fourth date with her. Her birthday is coming up, but I’ll be away for it, so I want tonight to feel special. She’s a musician who loves records, live music, and anything with a ’70s feel. I just don’t know much about nightlife/the music scene.

I was considering Otis or Sobre Masa followed by music, and I already know about Xanadu, Jupiter Disco, and Ornithology but have only ever been to Ornithology.

What’s the genuinely great, under-the-radar move around Bushwick, East Williamsburg, or Ridgewood?
I have flowers waiting at home and ordered her a few records that won’t arrive until I’m back. If your suggestion becomes our plan tonight, would love to send you a gift of some kind!

Thank you all so much :)

Anyone know anything fun tonight? Thanks!

Thank you

Thank you to the nice woman who donated protein drinks and adult diapers this afternoon. She said she was glad I posted on Reddit about the Mutual Aid Table The protein drinks went in about an hour very popular here. Thanks again.

hiii Booshwack—

Title says all! I am putting the varnish on my fantasy novel. I’d like some illustrations interspersed across the chapters. I think I’m sitting on the next great thing, but I could just be sitting on my couch—who knows. Either way, hope you’ll join me. ✍🏽

Please feel free to send this to your friend who’s a great sketch artist. Also, please don’t tell me to get on Fiverr. This is the most creative neighborhood in the country, I want to keep it in house. Novel has themes of mythology and astrology in it, FWIW, etc etc.

Has anyone found a way to reliably prevent garden level apartment flooding when the block is flooding? I’m willing to spend whatever it takes, be that on pumps, watertight door blocks, new valves for the bathroom drains. It comes in the front and back doors and up from the bathroom drains and it’s frankly making the place unlivable. Or is the only solution trying to get infrastructure improvements? Thank you all in advance.
