NO FEE

I know that we all hate people and do not want to talk to each other without screens, but I have decided to host an in-person moving sale in my apartment. There are tons of things (not all is shown in photos), including furniture, small, decorative items, linens, organizational stuff, rugs, random kitchen things, and free puppies. If you are a murderer or have a deep contempt for humanity, I ask that you not join us on Saturday. 11 to 3, no early humans and no stealing my cats.

If I'm in a good mood on Saturday morning, there will also be lemonade.
Venmo or Zelle only.

If you want the address, please send me a message...

the tree outside the park entrance was cut down today. anyone know why they would have taken this action?

As a parent, this was deeply distressing to witness. Please do not citibike with your child strapped too low, while wearing flip flops, fiddling with your phone, and forgoing helmets for you and your infant.

I spent way too much time digging through class schedules, community calendars, and studio websites, so I figured I'd share the highlights.

Hi everyone,

Reposting with a photo and more information! This kitty urgently needs a foster by this weekend! Her current fostering situation is about to expire and she needs someone to take her on short or long term!

You may recognize the kitty from Ft Greene Pl where she lived her whole life with her sister, who unfortunately passed away a few months ago. After her sister's death, the tabby was forced from her territory and struggled with grief, but now that she's in foster care, she is healthy, eating well, and relearning to trust.

Some information about her:

She is 8-10 years old, 7 pounds, vaccinated/spayed, disease and pest free, and litterbox trained. If you've met her, you'll know that she's a real sweetie, well-socialized, very friendly and affectionate, mild-mannered with a sense of humor. A sweet lap cat personality is in her future.

We can provide a litter box, litter, food, and anything else that may be needed.

If anyone has any leads, please comment or shoot me a message! Help give back to a kitty who gave the community so much!
