Was traveling from Halsey to Manhattan around 7pm tonight and only got halfway to Myrtle before they said there was an explosion and fire? We reversed back to Halsey.
Anyone know what happened? They said at first it was a broken train and then all of a sudden there’s an explosion so it was very confusing.
Offering water vacuuming tonight only, low square foot pricing! Girls and gays prioritized, no creeps
Hello everyone! I’m hosting a creative social x variety visual arts fundraiser show this Friday 08/21 from 6PM-2AMish at the Tiny Cupboard!
We will have an art/graphic design/photography gallery + animation/film/projection showcase + open mic/performance sections + trinket sharing segments
There will also be board/video games, a collaborative playlist during figure drawing, a communal leaveonetakeone library for business cards/events/fliers/pamphlets/services/zines, communal art, karaoke, vendors, and more
The vision is to connect with other creatives and their passions, to get inspired by those around us, and to feel brave and empowered to share our otherwise private work for the sake of showing someone. I want people to embrace creative freedom; you can submit anything, you can perform anything, you get to choose what it looks like. There is no theme so frame whatever your heart desires even if it’s a picture of a partner/pet/sky. Previous participants are welcome to display again!

The CDJs work perfectly and have little to no cosmetic damage. Have been exclusively in the studio.
The flight cases are from the 70s and need to be refoamed, but they’re heavy-duty.
Hey all - I started subletting my place in April (though this sub!) and am looking for a roommate to start the new lease with, since my current roommate is moving out of state for work. I’ve loved living here so far—the location is super convenient and I’ve had almost no issues with the apartment/building/area. I’ll be starting a 1-year lease and looking for someone interested in that term, with the possibility of re-signing assuming it works out.
About the apartment:
- Common area pictures are taken in .5x, yes it’s smaller in person! The photos of the room itself are pretty size accurate.
- Has dishwasher, central air, working video doorbell/buzzer, and small balcony
- Laundry in building, decent gym & roof access, & package room w/ key entry
- Utilities have ranged from 70-130 per person since I’ve lived here, wifi 30 per person per month
- Off Myrtle-Wyckoff, easy commute to manhattan on L/M
About me: 24F, I work full time at a marketing start up. My typical schedule is WFH mon/fri and in office tues-thurs. In my free time, I love going to movies (low cinema regular and metrograph/FLC member!), trying new coffee shops, and going to shows (lots of DIY, punk, post hardcore etc). I’m pretty chill and easygoing as a roommate—I mostly keep to myself at home, but I’m out often and not a huge homebody. I also travel usually at least one weekend a month and occasionally have friends crashing on the couch, which you would be welcome to do as well.
***On a scale of 1-10 I would say I’m between a 7 and 8 on cleanliness, looking for someone who’s the same or better! I keep the apartment generally clean always (no dishes left in the sink overnight, etc) and hire a cleaning service every once in a while.***
About YOU: ideally mid to late 20s non-man, employed full time either fully in office or hybrid. You will need to sign onto the lease so decent credit, proof of employment, etc. I have no pets, but cats are allowed (for a fee) and I would be happy to have one in the apartment! Totally down to just cohabitate or become friends if we end up vibing.
Feel free to message me with an intro to yourself & any questions! Planning to show the place this weekend and hopefully find someone/have you submit your application to the management company ASAP
I’ve seen multiple threads about this Honda Odyssey and it’s alarm has been incessant the last few days. Is there anything, ANYTHING one can do?
I need to get a pair of derby’s resoled. Just a new rubber Vibram lug heel needs to be attached

It's "Bring An Umbrella To Work Day" tomorrow. People are going to look at you funny on the Subway during the morning commute, but you'll have the last laugh on the ride home when they're drenched and they're looking at you with jealous eyes.
Short-term computer modeling provides high confidence for a fast-moving line to bring heavy rainfall, and possibly some elevated thunder and lightning to our region Thursday evening. Flash flooding will be the main concern while the severe threat appears fairly minimal.
A short event duration should mitigate high rainfall intensity. Strong surface/low-level frontogenesis and PWATs over 2" could support rainfall rates around 1.5-2" per hour in the heaviest downpours. According, to the official forecast, most of NYC will probably receive between 0.5-1.0" of rain, but up to 3" could be possible in isolated spots. Model QPFs are significantly higher than the official forecast. A Flood Watch may be issued.
Our Local NWS Office (OKX)'s latest Quantitative Precipitation Forecast for Thursday.
A comparison of model Quantitative Precipitation Forecasts (18z HRRR, 18z NAM, 18z RRFS).
As far as timing, rain will be possible anywhere between 2pm and midnight, with the highest likelihood of heavy rain and flash flooding occurring between 5-9pm. Yeah, right in the middle of the evening commute and dinner hour. Not ideal.
Now there is one "X Factor," and it's while I used the word "Possible" in the post title instead of "Likely" or even "Probable."
This entire set-up is going to come down to mesoscale factors that cannot be modeled accurately until maybe a couple of hours out, so the precise location of storms is hard to pinpoint right now, and there remains a possibility that this is a total bust with little more than a modest rain shower.
Every action has a reaction, and everything that goes up must come down. Low pressure induces lift. It also causes the atmosphere to stretch. This results in areas of high pressure on either side (north or south) of the mesoscale low. High pressure results in subsidence and sinking air.
The strongest thunderstorms are forecast to occur well to our south, and depending on how that develops, it could actually result in subsidence and sinking air over/near NYC, which would cause approaching storms and rainfall to weaken if not die out.
Was anyone around Ditmars street last night who saw what was going on with a bunch of people and dogs in crates on the sidewalk? Action seemed to be on an apt building that I think had squatters? But maybe also a puppy mill? Seemed like a mess but the ppl standing around with all their shit and dogs on the sidewalk didn't seem pressed.
Has been reported to DSNY and they’ve been there (citation has been issued), but the poison has not been removed. This is ongoing.

Reported to the state pesticide team - pesticidesR2@dec.ny.gov - please reach out to them to report any further incidents. I am working with a real human on this.
Anyone know of a grocery store selling king oyster mushrooms? I’m tryna make a mushroom rendang.
I have a bunch of rolls of standard film to develop -- what are your favorite labs in the neighborhood? Good picture, friendly/easy to use, and ideally won't break the bank!
I started the Maspeth/Ridgewood Mutual after I started putting stuff outside that my family did not want anymore and we couldn't sell on the Marketplace. I noticed the items would disappear and my neighbors would bring items to replace them. My friend who helps shut ins in Glendale brings over whatever food she has left and leaves that on the table for people to take who visit my mutual aid table.
Thursday August 6th, I received 6 deliveries of donations (clothes, food, toys, housewares, books, DVDs). By Saturday August 8th the table is empty.
Items that are in high demand:
FOOD FOR PEOPLE OR PETS
CLOTHES
TOILETRIES
SCHOOL SUPPLIES
DIAPERS FOR BABIES & ADULTS
TOYS
BACK PACKS, LUNCH BOXES & POCKET BOOKS
Books really don't go on my table, so when I get a donation of them I wait a few days then I bring them down to the Little Free Library in PS 153's school yard.
Donations can be dropped off, and you can take what you need 24 hours a day & 7 days a week:
5938 60TH ROAD, MASPETH
Donations can be dropped off at certain businesses during business hours. Just label them Maspeth/Ridgewood Mutual Aid Table.

Hey everyone,
Working Artist here & saw a few weeks ago someone needed cash. I offered up but they didn’t take it and although a few people dm’d me it looks like it’s just easier for me to make a post.
What you’ll do:
• hopefully familiarize yourself with my work without me feeding you the research but it’s okay if you don’t have time
• pick up a small box of about 45 New York Times newspapers (approx month & a half’s worth) on Saturday morning at my gym (in public) - I should be there at 9am
• spend any 5 of the next 24 hours looking for a particular word(s) (this one is mostly in its own section) and cutting the whole section out (have one sheet instructions that will come with the box and also will send to you when we agree). Essentially this is WFyourH and I’ve budgeted 5 hours of your time. As long as it gets done it makes no difference to me where you do it however I do ask you allow me & my work the privacy of keeping the process to yourself so maybe not at the park or on a train etc.
• deliver to my gym 24 hours later on Sunday at 9am. There will be $100 in envelope at the desk or if you prefer I have all the things (Zelle, Cash App, Venmo etc).
Gonna add a pic of what a month looks in the comments like so that you can see the level of organization required (so please consider if this is your lane before responding).
Things you should know:
• will provide scissors
• my gym is Absolute Power on Wyckoff
• my order of preference for this work is Artist, Woman, locals, general Bushwick community. Hopefully this is the start of being able to do this consistently, but for this one I’d like to have a direct impact on what’s at the top of the list of things I am most passionate about.
•if this goes well I want to do this weekly & hire some more people
Message me if interested and tell me a little about yourself - I’m gonna be away from Reddit from now til tomorrow mid-morning but will reach out to you then & we can go from there.
UPDATE: Just getting on here now and a little overwhelmed - gonna sort through all your messages & comments and will reach out to the person for this round by this evening and also contact anyone else that feels like a good fit for the future. I know there are going to be so many of you I want to hire but for right now everything I’m doing is on my own dime so it’s a slow build, ha, but I’ll be reaching out to you too to keep in touch for the future.
UPDATE 2: I’m gonna meditate & take a nap. Some people are crunchy on here & need a break lol
Thanks ahead of time,
- Tania Scott
