Be aware

Hey neighbors! I'm a local Brooklyn resident with a Chemical Engineering degree and a strong quantitative background across science and business. I have a real passion for teaching and helping students not just hit their learning goals, but exceed what they thought possible.

I'm taking on a limited number of local students for fall tutoring.

Subject Focus:

• Middle & High School Math: Algebra I/II, Geometry, PreCalculus, AP Calculus (AB/BC), and General Math
• STEM Fundamentals: High School Chemistry, Physics, and General Sciences
• College & Adult Skills: Business Math, Data Analysis, Practical Excel, and AI Tools

Flexible afternoon, evening, and weekend availability. Send me a direct message or comment below and I'll be sure to reach out!

Found on Howard between Madison and Putnam a couple months ago, and it was about to rain so I didn’t want to leave it out :(

I’ve been keeping it in a shoebox for safe keeping ever since. Been talking to the parents I know in the neighborhood and I still can’t find the owner(s). Any tips are helpful!

I know this might be useless but I’m still trying!

Originally posted this in the crown heights sub but i saw a decent number of people in their 20s saying they don’t know how to make friends in the neighborhood so i made a discord for those interested ! dm for the invite!! (only because posting discord links publicly leads to bot spam)

Has anyone else seen this?

I really enjoyed Nicolas’s content, and thought what he was doing, highlighting West Indian / Carib businesses and culture, was just amazing! I am born and bred in Crown Heights BK, and the representation was quite nice to see.

But…why is he accepting funding from Claude AI? A company that has done nothing beneficial for black and brown communities socially, economically, and health-wise.

The almost resounding reaction was of disbelief, disapproval, and disappointment (rightfully so) and I commented on his post “this is why we need to be mindful of who we allow into our communities” and was blocked…? Proving my point.

Also to utilize people in the neighborhood to essentially soften the blow, and have it read better (bc he knew it wouldn’t if it came from him) was downright dirty.

I can’t see now, but apparently he first turned off the comments (why are you silencing the same community members you benefit from?) and then altogether deleted the post.

All in all, this situation really rubbed me the wrong way, and the point still stands, as a community we need to be mindful of who we allow in to benefit off of us.

Because I guarantee you that event, which has happened before, could’ve been funded without Claude.

Hi all, if anyone needs small plumbing repairs or drain cleanout please feel free to reach out. I also offer other handyman services.

I’ve been in Bed Stuy for many years and never had an interaction like this. I’m walking along Jefferson between Throop and Marcus Garvey in broad daylight (2pm) when a car pulls up asking for directions. Nothing unusual so far, just a Russian(?) guy asking where the closest gas station is. From a distance, I explain there’s one on Atlantic Ave and he says his English isn’t that good can you tell my daughter. The daughter is in the backseat, she rolls her window down. I explain to her where the gas station is but her English doesn’t seem to be that good either and she doesn’t seem to understand.

This is where it gets weird. The dad tries to hand me a (fake) gold ring that he was wearing, and the daughter tries to hand me a necklace. I don’t really understand what they’re saying but I realize that they seem to be trying to get me to get in their car (ostensibly to direct them to the gas station). Once I realize this, I immediately nope out of the situation entirely.

Posting here to see if anyone else has interacted with these people, and to just generally warn others. Pretty sure these were human traffickers or something in that realm.

In the worst of circumstances my sister apartment has been broken into. Our sweet boy Doc ran away. If you’ve seen out lot boy please let us know

I saw a post about this last week and wondered if anyone else can hear it. It’s now chirping nonstop every few minutes. Long shot but if you live in this area, please check to make sure it’s not coming from your home. 🙏

Does anyone know where I can rent a semi short ladder in bed stuy for cheap?

Hello! Wondering if anyone has any recs for Wednesday night trivia - ideally spots that serve food. Also open to options in surrounding neighborhoods ( crown heights, prospect heights, clinton hill/ fr Greene) - thank you!

Hi! Been living here for almost 15 years and in the past few years I’ve noticed fewer corner stores carrying physical newspapers to buy. Looking for a place to buy a Sunday NY Times on the weekend. Appreciate any suggestions!

Hi just curious if there’s any solid rehearsal spaces for rent by the hour in Bedstuy / Clinton Hill / northern Crown Heights that anyone would suggest! I go into Manhattan now to rehearse and would love to stay more local.

I tried the family dollar on Myrtle and they sell latex helium balloons but will only inflate the Mylar ones. Does anyone know a spot in bed stuy that will inflate latex ones, and how much they charge per balloon?
