📣 New Podcast! "30 November 1963: Brooklyn rent strike" on @Spreaker #black #brooklyn #history
https://www.spreaker.com/episode/30-november-1963-brooklyn-rent-strike--68370905
Scientists used historical tidal data to predict that future storms in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Red Hook will produce surging waves reaching at least 11 feet.
The area’s yet-to-be-built flood protection system is only 10 feet.

A secluded alley in Japan…
…Village, in Brooklyn, NY. Japan Village is actually a bustling marketplace occupying two buildings, and this may be the only “secluded alley” it has. It’s a lovely sliver of quiet where I can pretend I’m elsewhere, if just for a moment.
Sharing this as an homage to all the great Japan street photography I see on this app, but have never had the chance to try myself.😊

Three friends an I are going to see Chappel Roan later this week in Queens. I like her pink pony club, and have been making a variety of pink ponies lately.
I decided to make some tiny pink "pony"s that the four of us could wear as necklaces to the concert. They also could be clipped onto hats. I got the tiniest 6mm blue phosphor glass I could get my hands on and filled them to just 8 torr neon (normally 18torr at this size) so they are nice an conductive an the battery lasts longer. Pure neon fill- so I can fix em if they break.
I do have to double check the rules of forest hills. I guess I could lie an say they are LEDs :). One of my friends requested a heart tiara (I think the tour has hearts in its theme) so I made two lil ones filled for battery life :).
I sure hope we can dance with the neon as a pink pony club :)

phosphor coated glass pony on the pattern before attaching the last electrode. You can see the tube I was using as a handle cut off right next to it
ruby hearts next to a now paint dipped ruby WIIFM crackle tube and a pony that I fixed (I dropped it when I got it home). Blue tubs also on the agiing table
four lit miniature glass "pony"s on the agiing table
one single neon mini pony being driven by a DC input transformer. The DC power supply driving it is only needing .78 amps at 12 volts.

coming across her (excellent) name in a benefit concert from 1935 in an article in the Brooklyn Eagle reminded me about Kitty Okryenetz (1925-2006), a small-time Yiddish singer & entertainer whose 1953 album I was charmed by years ago. (free account required to stream the album.)

We don't have a word for this new anti-enshittification, anti-oligarch, anti-carbon baron movement yet, but perhaps that word might be "solidarity." Solidarity is the opposite of fascism. The solidarinet is the opposite of the enshitternet. Solidarity is what stops disasters from becoming catastrophes:
