This is a photograph of the intersection of Myrtle and Vanderbilt Avenues in Brooklyn. This is the border of two neighborhoods: Clinton Hill and Fort Greene.

I did however use this photo for an article featuring a different stretch of Vanderbilt Avenue (that is why I took it), so I figured why not share a bigger version on Pixelfed.

Seen on Cambridge Place in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn (New York City)... a zebra... on a home. I will hold off on asking about asking about the disco ball until we get to the bottom of the zebra situation. I took this photo with the GrapheneOS camera app on my Google Pixel 6a on March 27, 2025.

When I describe this as "back of the fridge wisdom" - I mean it literally. We're a day late for Valentine's, but some things are evergreen.

They told us that Santa flies around on a reindeer-drawn sleigh. However, this set-up in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, made me reassess everything I thought I know about Santa. The scales fell from my eyes.
