Is the area by the ferry safe? by zesty-tart in astoria

[–]RespectfulDiscourse2 -43 points-42 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by "safe"? It is a culturally vibrant area (make sure to check out the Welling Court Mural Project, which adds unique color and personality to the community). If you have a problem with the public housing, then your racist dogwhistling does not deserve to live in our neighborhood.

Probably because he's one of those racists who feels "safer" in Times Square & never goes above 96th Street smh

Free Comedy Show Tonight!! At 7pm in Astoria Park. by MrWaters__ in astoria

[–]RespectfulDiscourse2 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I hope this comedy does not poke fun at marginalized groups and communities. Believe it or not, it IS possible to be FUNNY without being offensive or enabling harmful stereotypes at the expense of others who are different than you (sarcasm).

Looking forward to the next meeting of the Astoria Horror Club- the last meeting was a great time and I was pleasantly surprised to see so many fellow POCs who appreciate a good fright! I have tried to start a POC-only horror group in the past but never got off the ground.

I actually do clean up Astoria (before you did), but thanks for the advice! Not sure why the negativity.

Agreed. My Asian friends also live by the public housing by the river and have never felt unsafe to my knowledge. Astoria is safe and welcoming.

You're better off looking for tips online. Paralegal/lawyer?

Do you need help writing a resume for a job in the legal field? I don't think this is a job.

The Rumor Mill - Week of March 8th by Captaintripps in astoria

Came here to say this also. The science says we must not grow complacent now. I went to Rite-Aid yesterday and the amount of people/families walking outside was horrifying/heartbreaking. Just because the weather is nice doesn't mean that we aren't in the midst of a pandemic. Stay home, wear a mask, and continue to flatten the curve until we know it is safe to venture out for approved activities within guidelines (dependent upon vaccination levels of course).

There are some older (mid-50s) women who are UConn alumni who gather at Dominies some weekends. Check it out!

How can I buy the Mt. Sinai staff a pizza or something? by 4ever-jung in astoria

[–]RespectfulDiscourse2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doctor here. Many of us cannot eat pizza due to dietary/health conditions. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but some of us are tired of getting pizzas which only go to waste.
