punks are living on the rooftop across from me

(haha, where the hell did i go dancing?? i think it was a thursday night at Parking. yes, and i was wearing impractical shoes.)

After I left my friend moved in, then after him, another friend of ours, now a girl from Singapore we know lives there. You can't hand rooftops on to just anyone, you have to trust them.

doesn't the computer store know about this? punks can't be good for business

some urban farming craft bozos were keeping one or more beehives on the rooftop down the street. today a beehive sits abandoned on the sidewalk outside, bees buzzing about in encouragingly languid and nonthreatening circles. "punks," i thought.

oh btw the building that was home to the beehive is a loft that's been converted into 'luxury' places. the building the beehive was left in front of is a residential facility providing "long term transitional housing and on-site support services to 40 adults with psychiatric disabilities and a history of homelessness." privilege, ladies and gentlemen.

classy

lol

Not OK

ugh wtf

I mean the bees aren't gonna do anything/hurt anybody... unless someone tries to move it

i've passed along some numbers for beekeeping associations in the area so hopefully a safe removal can be accomplished. also hopeful that the neighborhood's various security cameras caught the schmucks that did this, they deserve to be on the cover of the daily news with a mocking headline e.g. "HIVE BEEN A BAD BOY"

follow the honey

one of their flatmates probably has a histamine allergy, can't believe you're all being so heartless to these bearded innovators

the cops cordoned off the area and i just saw the beehive loaded into the back of a car by someone in a beekepers' suit and gauntlets, with lots of boxes/canisters of something, labeled "BEE." we were told that it would be taken to one of the area botanical gardens or something like that. the neighborhood in general seemed pretty entertained aside from the backed-up through traffic.

wish i'd had a beehive rather than a sinkhole now

my road's going to be closed for like another month

is it possible someone else in the posh flats didnt like the beehive being there and stole it and put it out to trash?

bees would've swarmed if that happened, most likely

if you move the queen while a substantial portion of the hive is out foraging, they freak out

That'd show those little SOBs

I see what you did there.

with lots of boxes/canisters of something, labeled "BEE."

killing me for some reason

I see what you did there.

It wasnt intentional but then I realised what I'd done!

well okay but 1) a random stretch of the sidewalk is not the trash 2) especially when what youre handling is basically a booby trap or biohazard that at the least creates a huge hassle for strangers wherever you leave it and 3) they didn't leave it in front of their own building but in front of the neighbors. whoever did it, they're scum

a random stretch of the sidewalk is not the trash

lol it is where I live.
