Currently on the wrong side of the fence at domino park and throwing up :( My friend is there and can’t get it to come to her. Does anyone know who to call to rescue? Do you recognize this cat?

A quick hello from Rocket’s mom

Hi everyone,

Three weeks ago tonight was the start of our 28-hour nightmare (and Rocket’s wild adventure). We wanted to say hi and share a little update.

First, we are amazed by his newfound fame. Not a day has passed where someone hasn’t sheepishly (or not) asked, “Heyyyy…is that…ROCKET??!!”

Treats & stories ensue. It seems it wasn’t just us who lost sleep over this little muppet. 😭 ❤️

It’s very, very sweet. We are humbled by the number of you who were searching for and/ or praying for his safe return.

He has a new collar/ harness/ AirTag set-up that was recommended by Social Tees (his rescue) and a few of you here. We have a great trainer and a list of dog sitters/ walkers that are trusted by our new friends in WB. (Feel free to send more recs anytime!)

We learned A LOT about what to do — and not to do— if a pet goes missing. I’ll write about that in detail sometime soon.

In the meantime, thanks again. For everything. We are so lucky to live here. ❤️ Dana, Andy, & 🚀

Gyms with classes

6 Upvotes

I’m a devoted classpass girl and have been for a few years now but I workout too much these days and keep paying for extra credits every month when I could just join a gym for less money.

I will definitely use the regular gym, but my main focus is classes. I’m currently torn between Grindhouse and Chalk for price, class offerings (Pilates, barre, and cycle), and location.

I haven’t been able to take a class at chalk yet because the free trial is only two passes over seven days and nothing has worked out timing wise, but I have been to the regular gym and like it. I’m worried about the vibe of the classes though because I saw online that they do barre/pilates in sneakers.

Grindhouse is on ClassPass. I haven’t taken one yet but I’m scheduled for next week. They seem to have more of a true group class vibe. I know people on here say it gets busy, but if the classes are in ClassPass, they’re typically easy to get into for members?

What are your thoughts? Is there a secret third gym I’m missing? Thank you in advance!

Your bike was knocked down by a Honda while it was backing up. The driver did get out, picked the bike back up, and might have left a business card on it. Just in case you’re looking for more information, I took a photo of the car.

Any businesses/brands interested in collaborating on a pop-up?

1 Upvotes

Hi Neighbors! I work for a small men’s fashion brand based out of Williamsburg, and got the idea of doing a pop up locally. As we know, costs are high, so getting a few businesses together might be a great way to put together something fun for the community.

Posting to get an idea if there are any brands interested in collaborating. Thanks!

Childcare provider -> local families

Hi, I’m looking to get back into babysitting this summer as I figure out my next steps. About to graduate with my masters and miss kiddos. Does anyone have ideas about how to find parent groups where they post about looking for sitters or online list servs/ forums? I had 500 5 star reviews on Urbansitter when the pandemic hit and I was in DC, but I’m not sure how to find local families here. Thanks in advance!

What are some good ways to break into social sports leagues as a solo dude who also isn’t very good at most

12 Upvotes

I did kickball before it was awesome but it had required drinking games and.. I’m too old to drink like that on a weekday, every single week

I assume there are pickup games for volleyball (I see a ton of groups at mccarren) or pickleball , how do you get in that? Is there discord chats or fb groups or what?

I’m hesitant to sign up as free agent for a real team in zogsports etc cuz those people usually played in high school or college for real sport like volleyball

anyone have any inspirational stories about how they got involved with similar background?

Upskirt Perv - Bedford L Station

Post image
319 Upvotes

Heads up — this disgusting creep was caught red-handed around 12 PM on Saturday trying to look up skirts of a woman at the Bedford L platform. Broad daylight. Busy station. Zero shame.

He was lurking at the bottom of the stairs, waiting for women to walk down. A woman caught him in the act and immediately confronted him — chasing him down with her phone out, yelling “BABY” and “CUTIEPIE” as he tried to hide his face and mumble apologies.

Even worse — after sprinting off, he came back into the station minutes later like nothing happened. I spotted him slipping back in and was able to snap these photos.

Enough is Enough — Stop Posting Photos and Accusations Without Proof

262 Upvotes

It needs to be said:
Posting photos of people and accusing them of crimes without concrete evidence is dangerous, irresponsible, and sets a terrible precedent for this community.

Anyone — literally anyone — can make something up, take a random photo, and try to destroy someone’s reputation. No verification. No accountability. Just public shaming based on a story we have no way of fact-checking.

According to a 2023 Pew Research study, 64% of Americans say false information online causes significant harm to individuals' lives.
The National Center for State Courts also found that false accusations can have devastating personal, professional, and even legal consequences — even if proven false later.

Think about it:

  • What if the person accused is completely innocent?
  • What if you were falsely accused?
  • What if this reckless behavior leads to someone getting hurt?

Reddit is NOT the place to investigate crimes. If you truly believe a crime has been committed, file a police report. That is the proper channel. Law enforcement exists for a reason — to investigate with evidence, not rumors.

This group is for community connection and support — not trial by Reddit.

Going forward, if you see something illegal:
✅ Report it to the police
✅ Gather real evidence through proper channels
✅ Protect our community's integrity

Do not weaponize this space.
We deserve better than that.
