Tweets of the Week: Don’t mess with Bed-Stuy nurses

By Brooklyn Magazine

Every week (more or less) we try to read the entire internet so you don’t have to and curate (some of) our favorite tweets from the previous seven days. 

This week, we meet a nurse from Bed-Stuy who is not to be messed with. Also, a hipster Ronald Reagan for some reason. And NYC compost bins arrive in Crown Heights.

In no particular order, here are your locally sourced, organically grown, free-range observations for the last full week of Dry January (are we still doing that?).

There’s a squirrel darting around my backyard right now with half of what looks like a toasted everything bagel in its mouth and I think I have discovered the Midwood/Flatbush version of Pizza Rat.

Long Bushwick. Jefferson L micro-market won't be a price play forever.

You see, it all starts with young finance bros ending up at clubs their cooler, poorer friends take them to. We saw this in Williamsburg 10-15 years ago. Now they live in Williamsburg and party in Bushwick. https://t.co/ppfYIHo1qL

i love buying tonic water at key foods and looking down to see that it contains quinine, thus assuring me no malarial mosquito from the red hook waterfront to the gowanus canal will prosper

rewatching Broad City. Can’t believe Ilana lives in Gowanus and Abbi lives in Astoria and they hang out as much as they do

Brooklyn, we need help! Migrant families are being sheltered in Gowanus & need supplies, esp: menstrual products & winter clothes and accessories (gloves/hats) in kids' & smaller adult sizes.
