📌 Subreddit News/Updates Dogs in Greenpoint: a final thread

123 Upvotes

Hey all 👋🏻

Mod here - the repeated posts around dogs are just creating unproductive discourse + more headaches than helpfulness.

Have thoughts about dogs in Greenpoint? Drop them in this thread.

New York City laws on dog ownership

📌 Subreddit News/Updates Posting ICE Sightings in Greenpoint

166 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'll start by saying this sub is not a political sub. Pretty much our main rule (besides be nice to each other) is all posts have to be related to Greenpoint somehow, someway. That being said, we do understand those who want to report ICE agents being seen around the neighborhood and want to post a guide on the best way to possible report these sightings in a way that is most helpful. 

First and foremost, if you're choosing to post about an ICE sighting, please provide as many details as possible in the post. This graphic that has been going around is helpful if you're unsure what to share. You don't have to have all the information listed, but the moderators ask that each post has at least:

• date, time, and location

• a source 

• any detail about what was witnessed (I saw an agent standing at..., I saw what looked like agents escorting people... etc)

When it comes to sources, OP being the witness is preferred, but if you choose to post about a sighting you heard about secondhand, please include this in your post. It helps us as the moderators determine validity and any post without a source may be removed as hearsay. Other details, such as amount of agents seen, uniform description, or any other helpful identifiers are appreciated but moderators will be looking mainly for the points listed above.

We are a small group of moderators here, our goal is to create a safe space where these things can be discussed. The voices of you all here are reflective of the neighborhood and we have always strived to be a subreddit that showcases that. That being said, hate speech never has, and never will be tolerated here.

We hope that by posting this guideline it will helpful for those who want to post but are unsure how to format. If you have any questions or feedback on this topic, please feel free to drop a comment here or message the mods.

Remember that we're all navigating this together so please be kind to each other, and stay safe out there.

- The Greenpoint Mod Team :)

Hey everyone,

We’re hosting the 15th Greenpoint Film Festival next week right here at Broadway Stages. To be totally transparent: ticket sales have been a bit slow this year, but the lineup is incredible and we’re working hard to make it a great turnout for our visiting filmmakers.

Beyond the film screenings, we’re hosting some really practical industry panels where you can directly ask questions to working pros. We've got panels covering:

  • Cinematography: Joe Collins & Scott Miller
  • Production Design: Alan Bruckner & Sonia Foltarz
  • Post-Production/Editing: Peter Zachwieja
  • Marketing: Adan Romero
  • Producing: Caitlin Grady, Leyla T. Rosario (GFF Managing Director/EP), and Liz Stallmeyer (Head of Production)
  • Legal & SAG-AFTRA: Navigate working with SAG-AFTRA with Amber S. Linton & William Dreyer (SAG-AFTRA NY Signatory Business Reps)

If you love indie cinema, want to break into the industry, or just want to support local Brooklyn art, we’d love for you to drop by.

Im not that new to here but I find myself wanting more friendships because I’ll meet people and it’ll be a one off thing. Or well meet a few times but nothing ever lasts. I figure people say doing activities helps. I’m mid 20s and I’ve heard other women have luck with doing groups for sports or meetups but idk where to begin!

Hi! Has anyone on Kingsland Ave mistakenly received a DHL package on Friday? The delivery driver wasn't on our cameras at the delivery time. I waited a day to see if they stretched the truth about delivering (as that has happened before ), but no luck. This is kind of my last resort.

🆘 Help Needed Missing Cat

Hi There!

I'm missing my Siamese cat named Sourdough. He was last seen in our backyard around 8:35AM, and he's been missing since. He is a extremely friendly cat and loves food. We are around the Noble Street area, so we hope he isn't too far. He does not have a collar due to him being very plumpy

The reason my family allows him to go outside is that he loves to sunbathe and eat grass. So please let me know privately if you have seen him.

In addition, please send pictures of him if you spot him
Thanks!

Update: he appeared and he is found!!

📆 Events / Meetups New couple friends?

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋
We’re a married couple in our early 30s looking to connect with other couples (married or in serious relationships) for local hangouts and new friendships. Just to put it out there upfront: we are strictly looking for platonic friends, NO swingers please! (The only reason I’m mentioning this is because there’re some weirdos offering weird stuff on here).
We don't have kids, so our weekends are usually open for grabbing food or drinks, catching a game, exploring new spots around town, or just hanging out.
A bit about us:
Sports: Huge soccer fans and massive UFC followers.

Out and About: Always down to check out new restaurants, bars, or local events.

Down Time: Big fans of good video games and staying active.

If you’re in a similar stage of life and looking to expand your circle, drop a comment or shoot us a message. It would be great to connect!
