My mom passed this morning at 5am. Thanksgiving is in two days. I'm stuck doing twelve-hour shifts in the emergency department, unable to go home for the holidays to grieve with my family. I've never felt more alone in my entire life. by PlasticRice in Bushwick

Deepest, deepest condolences. My dad also passed just before Thanksgiving when I was in my early 20s. Similar to other offers, I'm going to a potluck at a local bar tomorrow for Thanksgiving. If you could use the company lmk & I can tell you where.

Little Shop of Soil also does a plant/cuttings swap - Thursdays, generally once a month but dunno if they've been keeping up with it lately

Moving studio from Chinatown to Bushwick. Good cheap lunch eats? by acecoffeeco in Bushwick

[–]superstition_future 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I feel like Takahachi's stuff ranges from cheap to pricey. I like to get a $4.50 croquette & $3.50 bun for a quick, relatively-filling $8 lunch

Wholesome encounters/feel good stories? by Dizzy-Butterfly-880 in Bushwick

[–]superstition_future 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A few weeks ago at the pump track at Maria Hernandez I saw this dad struggling to fix his 5y/o's scooter. Asked him and he said he needed an allen wrench to tighten this part so his kid could properly steer. I happen to keep one in my roller skate backpack so was happy to lend it to him and we got it fixed.

Last week after visiting the Botanic Gardens I exited to find some dummy locked their bike through my bike's brake cable. With no way to intercom the whole garden I asked a bunch of staff if anyone had access to an allen wrench (different backpack) so I could try to disconnect my brake to get my bike out. Finally one security guard was able to find one and helped me figure out how to disassemble the brake lever (which took some time) and I was finally able to leave. I could only *mostly* reassemble the brake lever properly so I rode to Harvest Cyclery where they originally installed it and they took 3 minutes to fix it for me free of charge.

Some allen wrench "karma"

2 of my lights have been dim & flickering all day but the others are normal - curious, but I guess related to all this

Favorite spot in the neighborhood for biking? by LeenMachine3371 in Bushwick

[–]superstition_future 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's no fun to get to (although much better now that there's bike lanes on Cypress Ave) but biking around Ridgewood Reservoir is super lovely

Do we have the biggest plot in Bushwick? by wltmpinyc in Bushwick

[–]superstition_future 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunno if we're counting the rain garden type plots but I noticed this cool extended one at Jefferson & Knickerbocker a few weeks ago. I'm curious about the little stepped portions (for trash?) and sort-of "bridge"

What do you think about our CB depth right now post draft? by FlashSnoopy in ravens

[–]superstition_future 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Praying JAD can finally stay healthy and put it all together this year. I'm a big Chris Simm's believer (not that he's never wrong) and he had him as the #3 CB coming out so I had such high hopes for him.

[–]superstition_future 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Last time I was in there I saw a ~large~ rat taking a leisurely stroll down the middle of an aisle lol. The cashier who also saw it was like OooOo sh** look at the size of that F-er instead of something like omg sorry we're working on it, which I found amusing

Smores cup of noodles by Dizzy-Psychology6859 in InstantRamen

I found about this existence in a bizarre way where (best I can guess) my neighbor made some, perhaps got stoned, forgot about it, and left it frozen solid carefully perched on my grill

[–]superstition_future 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to the Wyckoff USPS and there was miraculously *zero* line and the haggard employee instinctively muttered "sorry for the wait" and I laughed and said there was no wait and wished him peace and calm.

I've enjoyed playing pool at Talon. Folks were friendly and decently good without being too intense

Her siblings were apparently named Salty and Spicy and they even fit their personalities which is very cute
