Tweets of the week: Bed-Stuy sun, Williamsburg moon, Bushwick rising
This week our locally-sourced tweets span space and time, where Brooklyn is ever-changing and somehow eternally constant
Every week we at Brooklyn Magazine read the entire internet in order to curate (some of) our favorite tweets from the previous seven days. These are locally sourced, organically grown, free range nuggets of wisdom and jest for the week ending July 29.
This week, Brooklyn remains defiantly local and undeniably global. It is undeniably in flux and remains defiant in its constancy. Also, some of these tweets just made us laugh, so enjoy and keep an eye out for Boka the bodega cat.
Yoncé got me walking the streets of Bed Stuy like it's a runway … in Birkenstocks lmao

everyone in NY now is like “I am Will Arancini, and my family invented arancini. I am an artist living in Bed-Stuy. I have $700 million. I have been in Italy for 3 months because my best friend Sarah Croissant of the Croissant dynasty in France, is marrying Daniél Tapas of Spain”

#BayRidge is one of the most special places in NYC. I've met some of the most incredible and diverse organizers and friends here, who work day and night to make their neighborhood better without much recognition. I'm proud to call it homehttps://t.co/mtkFAvuzrH

RIP Vin Scully, an ancient Irish seanchaí in a broadcast booth, whose gilded voice soundtracked the eternal blue summer, who could distill a century's worth of wisdom into a single at-bat, the last link to Brooklyn, the last link to a collective memory, the greatest of all-time. pic.twitter.com/UzsDeUSAKR
