i am sorry to be an annoying/complaining biker, but i have been biking up knickerbocker for work for ~5-6 years, and i am just struck how this business always has trucks or machines parked in the bike line, PLUS cars/trucks parked in parking line. so, bikers are forced onto knickerbocker which is often a busy car throughway, especially during rush hour. i genuinely feel shock/relief when i come up to this corner and am able to pass through on the bike lane.

i understand that cars and trucks and businesses need to use the bike lane sometimes, morgan just beyond here is also a madhouse a lot of the time, but what can you do with those huge businesses lining the street. this one business just really bothers me!!!

does anyone know anything about this business? or can anyone commiserate?

Chillin on Melrose, love the attitude

I always wanted to join a sapphic book club, but all those I came across are focused on contemporary books, or queer only themes.

I am still digging through classics, especially russian and ancient greek literature at the moment. Would love other likeminded queer women including transgender and non binary folks to form a little literary salon with me. Bushwick preferred for in person meet up discussions at some local coffee shops or quiet bars.

If someone could give me a related discord so I could post there as well, would really appreciate.

Anyone know where I can find some? I have a prescription.

All the Walgreens/Duane reade are out.
CVS is out of network
Capsule is out
I’ve called the local ones.

Any tips would be helpful.

Hi! I know there is a wild flock of monk parrots in the city but saw this little budgie hanging out in front of the dentist on Irving and Himrod, and figured it was worth a post in case he belongs to anyone! She was very friendly and seemed really comfortable with humans, i was not able to get her indoors as she flew out of reach.

Hi,

I'm looking to rent a basement apartment that is on Stockholm between Irving and Wyckoff. I'm aware that knickerbocker can badly flood especially during flash flood type weather.

Was curious does anyone live on the block? How has it been for you with flooding. Have you delt with it at all? If so how often ?

Are there other things I should be concerned about (sewers backing up?)

Thanks!

We are throwing a cheese party in Bushwick/Ridgewood on August 15th at a large artist studio with a backyard

We will have hundreds of pounds of all-you-can-eat cheese, there will be live music and stand up comedy

We are looking for more performers and artists..

Do you do live characature drawing?

Do you do flash tattoos at events?

Do you do stand up or improv or interpretive dancing?

Do you have a special talent you want on display?

Do you have a bit you want to integrate into the cheese party?

Are you a baker and want to bake a cake that looks like cheese but is not?

Do you want to lead an activity as if it’s summer camp?

Do you want to live build a cornucopia of seasonal fruit?

All while stuffing your face with CHEESE?! Surrounded by hundreds of cheese lovers?!

DM me here or on IG to discuss

Hello! 👋
I’m a dental hygiene student in NYC currently looking for patients interested in a low-cost, comprehensive dental cleaning.

All appointments take place at a dental school clinic and are carefully supervised by licensed dentists and hygienists, ensuring your care is safe, thorough, and professionally guided every step of the way.

🦷 Cost & details:
• Cleaning: $20
• X-rays only if needed
• Appointments are longer than a typical dental visit (around 3 hours) since we complete a full oral health assessment before treatment

What’s included:
• Oral cancer screening and head/neck exam
• Gum measurements and periodontal evaluation
• Personalized treatment plan
• Continuous dentist supervision and approval

This may be a great fit if you:
• Don’t have dental insurance
• Haven’t had a cleaning in a while
• Are looking for affordable, high-quality care
• Are okay with a longer visit for more detailed treatment

📍 Location: Downtown Brooklyn at NYC College of Technology (City Tech)

If interested, please email me at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])

It works great just needs cosmetic covers-- amazon sells (cheap!) adhesive pleather sheets and rolls for this exact kind of problem

+STORAGE +3 angle settings for back +can become a bed +2 separate pieces, chaise and love seat, that can attach to either side for 2 configurations

It's one of the coolest couches I've had - when you adjust it it sounds like you're working a steampunk ship sail- VERY satisfying heavy metal sensory happy clinks and clicks.

Explanation of cosmetic wear: a cat for the scratches + when i put a blanket on top to stop the scratches it rubbed off the pleather layer. -only a few real gashes on top border but would be easily covered by a full large adhesive sheet

AVAILABLE FOR PICK-UP ONLY TODAY AND TOMORROW/THURS

DM and i can send vids of the full function of both pieces- it wouldn't let me on this post thx

I want to keep it but too many memories of ex.

I live in Bushwick, Marco does not. On saturday during the storm my porter had to leave work urgently because his pregnant wife and son were at home while their basement apartment flooded. I’m still paying him despite missing shifts, and I’ve already sent him some money myself, just trying to see if there’s anyone out there beyond my normal IG circles that’s able to donate - every bit helps.

Thanks yall 🙏

Hi everyone!

I’m looking to get involved in my community and start volunteering. I’d love to help people experiencing homelessness, families in need, or any local organizations making a positive impact.
Does anyone know of any volunteer groups or nonprofits around Bushwick (or nearby) that are looking for volunteers?

Thanks so much! 😊

Are any of you in a run Ning club in Bushwick? I’m a new-ish runner. Mostly run on the treadmill but wanna make the transition to the streets. My pace is about 6-7”/km

What’s up with that

Looks like we’re in for another round of hard rain 😩

I’m begging everyone: please take two minutes to check the storm drain nearest you and clear away any trash blocking it.

Yes, our infrastructure is failing us, and yes, our elected officials need to do better. But clogged storm drains make flooding so much worse, and this is something quick and easy that makes a huge difference.

Worst case, you picked up some trash. Best case, you helped keep your block from flooding.

Attaching website pics bc I’m not home but I can send pictures of the actual things later today on request. Pick up off evergreen and Stanhope!

Some dude dressed all in black, with big piercings and what looked like a mini black golf bag slung over his shoulder, charged at me while I was walking and tried to grab things out of my hand, saying, "Gimme that. What is that? Give it to me."

I told him, "No."

He said "Why not?"

I say "Cause you're all up in my shit."

He then got aggressive with a woman who was throwing away her compost and smacked her phone out of her hand. She grabbed it and got away.

I stuck around to make sure things didn't escalate. Before leaving, he pointed at both of us and said, "Keep walking!"

Just a heads-up to be careful if you see this guy. He seemed like he was having some kind of episode, but he was also aggressive and physically confrontational.
