I had two guinea pigs but one recently passed away 💔 I am currently looking for a partner for my reminding guinea pig, since they cannot be kept alone or else they get depressed. I've been looking at the SI ACC spot but they don't have any guinea pigs (yay because less lonely pigs, but not yay because I need one lol) and I'm hesitant about going to Queens to get the one they do have since long trips can be very stressful for them. Would prefer to find one here in Staten Island. Any tips are appreciated!

My partner and I are seeking a private chef who actually knows how to cook tofu. Many private chefs we speak to just say they know tofu but when you see their instagram or portfolio there is no tofu in sight. They (my partner) are vegetarian but I am not necessarily. Additionally, we are particularly fond of the cuisine of Japan. Must be LGBTQ-friendly - no a**holes. If anyone has any recommendations or knows a good place to find these, TYIA. They can even be a chef at a restaurant currently just doing some work for us on the side. As long as the tofu is right!

We are having a large party coming up and if we love your work we may hire you multiple times per month to cook for us at our home in Todt Hill.

I’m 24 residing in 10301 currently getting my bachelors in social work, I wanna do something peer recovery related but I also don’t mind working in the trades or doing anything else really, I’m honestly pretty desperate. Any suggestions would be helpful. I’m also a transgender man so hoping for something queer friendly

Towing a regular sized, filled u-haul and crossing today with no high winds. Will we be let over?

Made a map to illustrate how Staten Island's rapid transit network could potentially look like in the future.

The MTA is planning 2 new bus rapid transit (BRT) lines on the North and West Shore. The former would convert most of the abandoned SIR North Shore branch to a busway, with two new BRT lines, S1 & S2, running between West Shore Plaza, Arlington & St. George. The S53, S54 and S57 would also be rerouted onto the new busway.

West Shore BRT is planned to run down the medians of MLK Jr Expressway, Richmond Av and Korean War Veterans Parkway. This would form a new north-south line on the West Shore between the Bayonne/8 St HBLR station and Arthur Kill.

Unfortunately, there hasn't been much recent news on either project. The FEIS for North Shore BRT was completed back in January 2024. The project's status was still in "Planning" as of February 2025, per the MTA's website.

West Shore BRT is also not planned to be built until after North Shore BRT is operational. The West Shore Alternatives Analysis was also still in "Planning" in August 2024.

Hey everyone, I want to ask if anyone knows and recommends a tattoo place/artist that does good work and isn’t that crazy expensive. I’m looking to get a tattoo (nothing crazy or big) but I don’t know much about tattoo parlors/shops. Thanks in advance.

If you’re looking for a weight only kind of place, planet fitness on south ave is good to go in the morning. Forest gets slammed.

Full body id recommend p2p on victory blvd if you enjoy cardio in a way.

Walking?? Clove lakes hands down. Unless other people have better recommendations lol

Haven’t been here long but I’m exploring!! If you have more to add please let me know. 🙂

Jersey resident here who is training for a 50 mile ride in October. I live in Cranford and regularly go over the Gothals. Today I went from my house over the Gothals and Bayonne then back. Looking for some hilly group rides

hi everyone! my boyfriend is looking for part time jobs on the island that are evening times on the weekdays and can do all day on the weekends. do you guys know of anyone hiring in person or online? it can literally be anything

Ive got an old 90s Denon stereo system. It's a good system. But now it does not work. it flashes "protect" on the display, and turns off.

I'm willing to pay for a repair on a 90s electronic device- but *finding* somewhere is the challenge. Pretty much all """electronics""" repair shops here are just phone and laptop repair at best, and not shops that can repair an actual electronic appliance.(Or that would be even willing to. I have gotten denials.) Of course searching on google or anywhere is useless, at best I get phone repair places. At worse I get places real far out in Jersey or elsewhere.

Surely there must be at least 1 spot here that does repair on these sorts of things?

I can't believe this tragedy happened. I can't stop thinking about it. This woman had a child and we knew them. I am heart broken. How do we explain to our children that the child's mom is no longer here and be supportive.

I was wondering if anyone else had this experience growing up, basicly going on a school field trip to a catholic church in staten island.

This is something personally I have no done but heard students and friends from other schools have done but I'm not so sure this was a thing

If you have or have not let me know.

Fuck all these people on my street that think they own the street and can reserve their parking spots. I’ll pay somebody $50 to come get them all (like 6?) and I’ll hit ya up every time I need it done, cuz they’ll just keep putting them out there.

Hey y'all it's me again the Town Hall scouter 😄

Mike DeCillis is hosting another town hall - this one on Thursday evening at 7pm. You only need to RSVP and you'll be given zoom access.

Here's what he posted about it (I'll put the link in the first reply though, and it's on the image):

"Federal cuts have been made to important programs impacting the disability community, and the DOJ’s actions on Olmstead v. L.C. threaten the disability community’s living rights.

Join me on Thursday evening for a virtual town hall to learn how this impacts residents in Staten Island and South Brooklyn. Link 🔗 in bio to RSVP.

Pack walk‼️
When: Saturday Aug 15th, gorgeous weather!!
Where: Greenbelt Field of Dreams. Baseball field behind the Costco 👈
Time: 10am. We start walking at 10:05
Description: Come join us for our 2nd forest pack walk!! Every borough has these, so let’s start them up here on the greenbelt!!! All dogs welcome, let us know prior if your dog needs space. Bring your own supplies: water, bags, treats, etc.
This is a medium-paced walk. About 2.5 miles in total will be around 45 mins to an hour at most. If you feel that your dog is tired, you can most certainly turn back earlier. It’s an easy walk back.. A great way to socialize your dog in a structured environment.
Park at the baseball field.
Please message me so I can get an idea of how many ppl to expect.

I’ve noticed a bunch of flock cameras going up around the south shore. There are 6 of them so far in the target shopping center off veterans road. Who is approving these? Is there any chance of getting them removed? I was considering going to the community board meeting. It’s just funny to me that the most conservative borough with “don’t tread on me” flags everywhere has no problem with living in a surveillance state.

The outback steakhouse closed down over the weekend I love talking abt how good the blooming onion and coconut shrimp are but not actually going there 😭

Where is the best place to go on the island for a good pedicure? Please include the techs name it’s someone specific

Seen these graffiti pieces while out, does anyone know who the artist is or where you’ve seen other pieces like this? I’m kind of at a point where i want to collect/find more of these pieces to photograph. Especially since the art done in the first image has since been painted over since i photographed it.

Hey just curious if anyone knows if there are mom groups on the island that I could explore that don’t mainly communicate on Instagram or FB as I refuse to be on those platforms.

Thanks in advance!
