Hey #Boston area #BikeTooter - we’re coming up fast to the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. Is anyone organizing a bike reenactment/re-tracing of the route? I know we have the Midnight Marathon the same weekend, but that’s a different route.

Folks in Somerville, MA. I hope to see you at City Hall soon.

I live in Somerville, MA, where PhD student Rumeysa was taken from Tufts University. After work, I attended the protest at Powder House Square for as long as I could. Here are my photos. In the evening, I need to take care of my son, so this little bit of citizens' journalism is the best I can do.

(Update: I removed some photos for a legitimate request.)

Hello #fediverse! This is GBH #News bringing you the world from #Boston. It's 38F at Logan Airport and visibility is 10mi.

The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to halt a lower court order to rehire federal employees.

Japan's official cherry blossom season starts today.

New rules are restricting where Porchfest musicians can perform in #Somerville after a surprise Guster performance blocked streets last year.

Earbud fodder:

#somerville porchfest announced (Saturday may 10th) and it sounds like it’s going to be a bit more locked down this year: https://somervilleartscouncil.org/porchfest/

Getting ready for my first protest in a while -- gotta make some signs to support the Tufts union professors who will be picketing in the morning! Nothing says love like the smell of sharpies at midnight!!

Boston-area peeps!!!

I'm in town seeing family. This Sunday (Jan 12) I'm going to park myself at Diesel in Somerville from noon to two. If anyone wants to drop by, please feel free! No prior interactions required.

I'll try to grab a table in the back.

(Looked to see if I had a photo of Diesel and the one I have is so old it's from the days when if you took a picture while moving (on my bike) it sometimes was distorted.)

#SomervilleQuestion6: Yeah, there's a 6th question on the ballot in Somerville! https://www.somervillema.gov/departments/elections/sample-ballots It would be an increase in funding for the Community Preservation Act, which sounds great. This would be based a small increase in real estate taxes, with some carveouts to make it a progressive tax.

I think this is the first year I can recall hearing crickets or other singing insects in #Somerville! @athorn pointed it out to me and now I hear them day and night.

Did I somehow just not notice before? Hard to believe that. This is new, right?

Will be casting an enthusiastic vote for the reelection of Erika Uyterhoeven to represent #Somerville in the state legislature tomorrow. She's been doing important work and deserves reelection.

In the past 30 minutes in my #somerville apartment it started smelling like smoke outside and my air purifiers started going off. Is something in the city on fire? Seems to be outside somewhere. (I went outside to confirm I smelled it outside.) #camberville

(This is the sort of thing Twitter used to be really good for. Not as optimistic about Mastodon for it.)

Any #Boston area #improv #actors out there want to join some really nerdy ensembles? Two shows that I'm a part of are holding auditions on August 12th!

Improvised History is a US history based show performing monthly down in #Roslindale

Junebug is an improvised space western, loosely based on Firefly and Cowboy Bebop, with heavy borrowing from other sci-fi properties as well. It will be performing at the #Somerville Armory Cafe.
