Brooklyn Tweets of the week: Whippets, pansexual Melinda Gates and remembering Andy Kaufman
A roundup of (some of) our favorite locally sourced tweets
Brooklyn is “back,” baby! (Where did it go? What did it learn about itself?)
Anyway. It’s nice out. People are venturing into the world—sometimes with masks, sometimes not. They’re going on jogs and doing whippets. And fortunately, they’re tweeting about all of it.
Here, then, are a few of our favorite tweets of the week, hand-picked just for you. Come for the newly-single Melinda Gates jokes, stay for a lovely Andy Kaufman tribute.
Now it’s your turn: When you see something, say something, tag us and flag us.
nyc is “back” in the sense that cis women were crying in industrial bushwick, a maskless ariana grande cosplayer was in a deli at 4am lecturing a homeless woman about drugs, one goose stood alone in the middle of the road staring at us. 100 used whippets littered the sidewalk pic.twitter.com/atFC1ZjBfD

thought Cobble Hill was somehow ready for a revolution on first glance but it’s just an elevator for yet another dog that’s living a more privileged life than I am pic.twitter.com/FBMdE9Cvyv

Photo booth, Coney Island, opening day 1974. Spring always makes me think of Andy and how we waited for that day every year. #ThrowbackThursday #Throwback pic.twitter.com/rfTmWP3PoS
