Awful and sad and infuriating to lose a great advocate this way. She did so much for Boston and it's a shame Boston couldn't do more for her

AB Housing Action held a pizza picnic on the new Allstonway at the ERC last evening. Fantastic new public plaza with 345 units of new housing + lots of bunnies! The cafes, hotel, lab buildings and Harvard conference center have ground floors open to the community to linger, work, read, and relax.

Once upon a time, on April Fool’s Day 2023, I pranked myself by dropping my car keys down my building’s elevator shaft. Fast forward to this past weekend and the elevator broke down. I asked building management to fix the elevator and please check for car keys while they were at it. 🛗 🔑 1/2

The United States of America: a country where you get the privilege of paying hundreds of dollars a month for health insurance yet still have to ask yourself, “Can I afford to get a diagnostic procedure?”

My hospital has this on their gastroenterology page. I’m rolling my eyes so hard I’m gonna need a referral to an ophthalmologist.

I still occasionally get emails for science-related job opportunities even though I’ve been a full-time nanny for 6+ years. So uhhhh… If anyone wants to work the night shift at the medical examiners office… There’s an opening…

My takeaways from the house oversight committee hearing: @mayorwu.boston.gov is a champ. Cool and calm while being berated and 8 weeks postpartum. Dang. Eric Adams is a coward @ayannapressley.bsky.social shouldn’t have been silenced Republicans think speaking over people makes them right.

An ad put up at a bus stop in London today.
The advert is seen at the end of a bus stop. It says “GOES FROM 0 TO 1939 IN 3 SECONDS”.

My cat has her own TV at this point and it’s bigger than mine. (I got a free tv but it’s annoying to set up so now Maggie gets to watch bird and squirrel videos to her hearts content)

Is this your frozen turkey? I saw it at Chestnut Hill Reservoir. Not sure if it’s a lost or if it’s an outdoor frozen turkey

Oh boy, the anniversary effect is rearing its ugly head once again. Too many death anniversaries in the next two weeks. Even if my conscious brain pretends to forgets, my body is on edge every year at this time waiting for something bad to happen.

What a weirdo storm! Usually the snow leaves the Boston area alone in a little bubble and areas west get way more snow. This time Brighton has about 4” and the Concord area has 1”. Definitely breaking the 1” margin in Boston @efisherwx.bsky.social

BREAKING NEWS: The City of Boston has had enough with complaints from drivers and cyclists about bike lanes so here’s the new plan: The city will be car-free and bicycle-free. As we anticipate continued climate change and sea level rises, we’ve decided to adopt the Venice model of city planning.
