Brooklyn Tweets of the Week: The borough is hot—and weird

A roundup of (some of) our favorite locally sourced tweets for the week ending August 27

Weather-wise, it was a wild week. But Henri couldn’t put a damper on things. You know what almost did? Getting glared at reproachfully by “SVU” zaddy Chris Meloni for wanting his sweet scrawl tattooed on our bodies. But we digress (more on that below).

If you see something, say something: Be sure to tag us if you see anything that should be noted next week. Have a great weekend!

A random chicken keeps showing up in my parents’ backyard and apparently today she brought a friend. In crown heights. I know 2020-2021 has been unlike anything before it but TWO chicken comfortably chilling at a black family’s house is another level

Is there a bookstore in Brooklyn called BOOKLYN or is life truly a disappointment.

Anna and I just walked home drunk singing the oogie boogie song. Thank God we’re in bushwick where this is socially acceptable behavior

This is the appropriate face one makes at 11 pm when accosted in the streets of Bushwick by a group of women demanding you write “anything on their body” so that they can get a tattoo of it https://t.co/b9WwMHRynn
