Brooklyn Tweets of the Week: Pythons and ravens and pigs, oh my!

A roundup of (some of) our favorite locally sourced, hand-harvested, organic free-range tweets for the week ending October 29

By Brooklyn Magazine Staff

There’s a lot of spooky activity in the borough as Brooklyn has been overrun by critters this week. There’s a pregnant Burmese python on the loose in Bushwick. (uh, yikes?). A popular NYFD teacup pig has gone full anti-vax on Instagram. And large ravens circle Prospect Park just in time for spooky season.

If you see something, say something: Be sure to tag us if you see anything that should be noted next week. Have a great Halloweekend—be sure to check out our roundup of local events (both kid-friendly and not)!

(takes a deep breath): A teacup pig who went viral for living at a Park Slope firehouse just came out as an anti-vaxxer after posting a rant on its Instagram Stories opposing the FDNY vaccine mandate. https://t.co/hcjeWsiXGC

I saw two MASSIVE ravens this morning along Prospect Park West. Excellent Halloween decor in my neighborhood.

Went to Greenpoint for dinner … sat outside across from a table of 20 somethings , my child (who is 7) says, “you know what the problem with this place is? teenagers”.

something they don’t tell you about the park slope/prospect heights area is that everyone loves to create little vignettes with skeletons on their stoops during halloween
