If you're doing volunteer work going door to door, please check the attitude there.

I get it, its hot out, you're going door to door in the heat, people probably don't want to talk to you and hear what you have to say and can be mad rude. That sucks and I see you. But some of us working at home are genuinely unable to have a chat at the time you come ringing our bell multiple times. I always try to be as nice as I can when I say I'm unable to discuss whats being pushed at me because I want your day to go well too. I dont appreciate the amount of times people give dirty ass looks and comments when I turn down their prepared speeches. You signed up for a gig where people are going to turn it down more often than not, expect that, match someones energy if they're an asshole to you, but dont be an asshole to people trying to respect your time if we don't have time.

Looking for a co-working place in/near Bushwick. Does anyone know of anything like that?

I work from home and am really interested in finding a place to go during the day to change up my scenery. I've used places in the past, but most places are too expensive. I'm not really looking for anything other than a comfortable place with WiFi that isn't a coffee shop. Thanks!

Beddy, a sweet 2 year old calico girl, looking for her forever home!

Hi all,

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend!

We’re looking for a forever home for Beddy, a sweet 2 year old calico girl that is currently in foster. Beddy is spayed, vaccinated, and FeLV/FIV negative. Beddy was found when a kind neighbor noticed her on the street in a box and began feeding her. They posted about her in the Crown Heights subreddit, and then I saw the post and reached out to Court Street Cats. Court Street Cats went to the location the Reddit post said she was at and lo and behold there she was (the corner of St. Marks & Bedford hence her name Beddy)! She was very easy to trap with food, and then I posted in the Crown Heights subreddit looking for a foster and a wonderful person stepped up and has had Beddy for the last 3 months. Beddy is really a Reddit cat rescue and I’m hoping this community can help us find her a home to make her story full circle. Below is some information about Beddy’s personality written by her foster mom.

Beddy is an extremely playful, curious, and sweet Calico. Despite starting off afraid and unsure, she has warmed up tremendously and will follow you from room to room to investigate what you’re up to, and then loaf by your side. She will occasionally leave you to perch on the window sill, her favorite spot in any apartment. Beddy loves treats and with patience you can easily win her over with them! She also loves to play, run, and jump! Any toys with catnip in them, a long ribbon or a wand toy with a big fluffy feather attached are extremely alluring to her. Once you bond, whenever Beddy wants attention she will roll over on her back until you give her head and chin scratches. 

Overall, Beddy is extremely friendly, playful, and cute. She will grow on you, but she does have an initial scared and shy side! Give her a few weeks to acclimate to a new environment and with love, patience and treats you will easily win her heart and loyalty. Beddy will need time to adjust to her new home, and starting her in a bathroom or another small space would be best for her! We’re looking someone who won’t just write her off because it takes her a couple of weeks to get comfortable. Beddy has been doing fine as a solo cat but is so friendly and playful that she could probably warm up to a companion cat with proper slow introductions.

You can see some of Beddy’s journey on the rescuer’s instagram

The adoption form link is below, and feel free to PM me with any questions.

adoption form: https://www.jotform.com/252784448601058

If you’re interested in setting up a meet and greet with Beddy, please fill out an adoption application first (it’s not a commitment to adopt, rather a demonstration of your intentions) and the rescuer Ashley of Court St Cats will be in touch and get you in touch with the foster to set up a time for you to meet Beddy. Just a heads up that Beddy may be shy/hiding if you go to visit.

Thank you for taking the time to read this!! Please share this post with anyone you know that might be looking to adopt a cat! If you can’t adopt and don’t know anyone looking to adopt, your upvotes and comments help to get this post seen by more people and up the chance of Beddy being seen by her forever person so they’re all very appreciated.

Fridge is messed up after heatwave

We were luckily out of town for the heatwave but when we got back, noticed our fridge wasn't cold enough (milk went bad) but the freezer is chugging along just fine (everything frozen the way it should be). It's a pretty old fridge so it could just be broken... did this happen to anyone else? Trying to see if there's a world where coned brown outs might have caused anything to go awry.

Seriously, do fireworks have to continue past 1am?

I’m REALLY lucky I don’t have somewhere to be really early, and I’m a late night owl myself. But this is ridiculous.

You guys are gonna blow off your arm or something.

Say Goodbye to Hellfire Heat and Hello to Biblical Flooding

It will be much cooler today and this week, with temperatures in the 70s to lower 80s, but it's going to be soaking wet for the next couple of days. It's going to rain today. And tomorrow. And into Tuesday. Just waves after waves of rainfall, which will be heavy at times and could be accompanied by thunder & lightning.

NOAA's Weather Prediction Center indicates at least a 15% chance of flash flooding on Sunday and Monday

There is a marginal severe threat (i.e., winds > 56 mph) but nothing on the order of what we saw this past week. The main threat will be flooding. The National Weather Service forecasts anywhere between 2-4" of rain (RAIN not snow!) over the next 48 hours, with greater than 50% confidence in over 3 inches. Rainfall rates are expected to be as high as 2-3" per hour.

NOAA (NWS/WPC) 48-Hour Total Rainfall Forecasts

Today (Sunday) shouldn't be too bad, with just some light, scattered showers. The rain will really pick up tonight with the main event on Monday. Sewers and water drainage will be quickly overwhelmed. Subways will turn into rivers and waterfalls. Basements will turn into swimming pools. Any other vulnerable low-lying areas will certainly flood as well.

NAM 3km (00z July 5) model reflectivity demonstrating what the radar might look like through 8am Tuesday.

Stray Cat Linden and Evergreen Ave

I always see this same cat around Linden and Evergreen Ave when I’m heading to the train. I recently moved to the area but just wondering if there’s a cat colony around the area or someone that takes care of the stray cats here? I’ve seen plenty of others too but this guy is who I see most often. Breaks my heart as a cat lover 😔

Any AA spots in Bushwick?

I’ve come to accept my major flaw of being an alcoholic. Now I’m not embarrassed of it but I would love a supportive group and AA group to attend to. Let me know if you’re familiar with any spots
