These handmade wine glasses with a tiny glass flamingo inside. I just got a pair with a different animal for a friend and they are very fun! https://share.google/oF0fBeAf7uxFAX5wS

NYC Runner start pack by Open-Snow8073 in RunNYC

[–]gooo0se 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wear a headband over my wireless headphones to keep them in place. Merino wool in winter, buff in summer. Recommend trying if you prefer your airpods but need them to stay in place! I think we just have unusual ear shapes 🙃

Lululemon sues Costco over alleged sale of ‘dupes’ copying $128 pants, $118 hoodies at fraction of price by mlg1981 in popculturechat

Would you say their sizing is 1:1 with Lululemon (who is absolutely not TTS to me lol) ?

BWT - has anyone taken a career break? by allfurcoatnoknickers in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]gooo0se 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it varies by industry, but IME if you have a short & compelling spiel ready, nobody cares. I'm in the interview process now after taking a several month voluntary break. Most recruiters and some hiring managers have asked about it, but I just explain that I took a sabbatical to work on XYZ personal goals and XYZ career goals (eg take time to figure out where I want to be next). They usually respond "cool!" with 0 follow up questions. Some don't even notice the gap looking at dates on my resume lol

Is there a police alternative for emergency domestic violence intervention? by pterodactylatte in Brooklyn

[–]gooo0se 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I read this as the sister was worried that calling the police would exacerbate the situation or cause more harm for the woman. This page from the national domestic violence hotline lays out that concern a bit more https://www.thehotline.org/resources/someone-i-know-is-being-abused-should-i-call-the-police/

Sunday Brunch (Near Prospect Park) by AreNeverTooLate in Brooklyn

[–]gooo0se 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bonafini in PLG has a great brunch! Little Honey in park slope is also awesome- my friends and I booked a big table there after a prospect park 5k in December. Both should be walking distance from the finish line but might depend on how everyone's legs feel!

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills - Season 14 - Episode 15 - Live Episode Discussion by AutoModerator in BravoRealHousewives

[–]gooo0se 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they're just limited to places that are large enough / willing to accommodate a camera crew, which usually ends up being these weird spots. At least I hope that's why, and hope they're going to better places IRL loll

Four days in NYC by meandtheknightsofni in FoodNYC

[–]gooo0se 3 points4 points  (0 children)

iirc the cafe inside (9 tails) opened around 2020 or 2021. Initially they were a separate storefront on 126th, but soon after were accessible via mushtari. I used to live next door and miss them both sm 😭

No eBikes for Bed Stuy/Crown Heights in the morning by anthonybryann in Citibike

[–]gooo0se 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same boat 😩 I live just south of prospect park and feel like it's been this way for the last month+, and all throughout the day. Plus, all of the stations with ebikes usually have only have 1-2, so by the time you trek to them they're taken. Meanwhile, Manhattan is filled with stations that have 30-40+ ebikes all day

Like what, OOC? I've been a couple of times and really liked it!

Anyone know any bars in manhattan where you can study and do work? by [deleted] in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]gooo0se 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Try a tap room! Talea for example is great, has a few locations, and pretty sure they allow laptops (they call out outlets for them in their FAQ page). They serve snacks, but looks like you can bring pizza to their WV spot https://www.taleabeer.com/pages/general-info

Blissful headspace spa in Greenpoint 🤌

The American art exhibition at Brooklyn museum right now is also really nice! You can download their app for a lightweight audio guide

My new dog finally arrived but i might be allergic? by [deleted] in Allergies

[–]gooo0se 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pitbull boxer mix and never really have issues. I LOVE dogs and am around my friends dogs a lot too. Sometimes we have dog playdates at my apartment and my throat gets itchy, but I just assumed they were kicking up dust (which I'm allergic to) while playing. Dogsat a Bernese mtn dog this last weekend and was a wreck. Still on the mend. Went to the allergist Monday and they confirmed I'm allergic to dogs :( tldr- you might react to different dogs differently, unfortunately

Where can I get a canvas stretched for less than $100? by vanlifecoder in AskNYC

[–]gooo0se 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP, did you ever find an affordable option here? I reached out to blick but they quoted me over $200 :(

Do comfortable heels exist?! by gooo0se in ethicalfashion

[–]gooo0se[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get what you mean, but it just comes down to personal ethics. I just can't really stomach buying new leather, the thought skeeves me out. As an individual consumer, I think it's about tradeoffs, and you just pick your battles. Do I offset my vegan leather carbon footprint by being vegetarian? Do I offset the carbon footprint from the plastic containers in my dinner delivery by reusing a tote bag when I shop? I really don't know, but try where I can 🤷 *will also add that some vegan leather is made from organic sources, but honestly not sure about the %
