I'm glad the city is seeking our local people of colors for developers, but it does make me concerned to hear that as a solution for the community not feeling heard in previous development attempts. has a lot of potential to just be PR cover for gentrifying and shoving the existing community out

bit of a hike off the commuter rail, but there's a few decent hikes around Concord. Walden Pond area probably most notable among them

OP is discussing etiquette, not law. Anyone rising that way is a dickhead. even if we want to discuss law, the way a lot of people drive their scooters is reckless and riders on the sidewalk are supposed to indicate that they're passing instead of whipping around at the last second with no indication.

yep, opened on the 18th

the queer nightlife here has become largely event based. Sapphic Saturdays is tonight, but sold out as far as I can tell. LGBTQ Nightlife Events organizes a lot of events (particularly sapphic ones) in the area and is currently working on building a new queer bar. additionally, Queeraoke is a beloved local fixture and Club Cafe tends to have a few nights for the ladies here and there

unless I'm mistaken, it has reopened?

I meant for orange line, but yes the red line slow zones are worse south of JFK

also, I may be mistaken, but aren't the worst slow zones north of where the closure is? I guess it's more trafficked through downtown but fixing the slow zones on the north end of the line would do a lot more to reduce headways

it should be warm enough to but don't count on it

> I’ve tried getting the city involved but the health inspector cancelled the appointment because it didn’t fit in his schedule.

push this up the chain of command if you can. if you can't, contact your city councilor and mention this behavior, that might free up some room in this schedule. they absolutely shouldn't be cancelling on you without proper followup

I was expecting it during December, my assumption is that they're planning to do it when students are out, but there's no way they can wait that long

she's in assisted living now anyways, she's already being observed outside of the general public. criminal charges would just be jerking her around to end up in a mental health facility anyways

man I feel like Blaze Miranda is far too cool of a name to not get off with a warning or something. we need them out on the streets

man I hadn't heard about Brother Cleve, that fucking sucks. Chatted with him a few times at Paris Creperie and he was so fun and knowledgeable. gone too soon

it might have "stark beauty" if these pictures weren't posted several times a week

what you might have found if you checked why instead of complaining about a clock

keep an eye on transit apps and plan for traffic/train delays ahead of time

every single person thinks they're the last person to fit on the train, I think it's like main character syndrome

after any game at the Garden there's a ton of people taking the train in every direction, it's so jam-packed it's hard to even start an altercation. walk with the crowd to Charles/MGH and ride from there to make your life a little easier

I don't know the state of things now but they were doing excellent shibari courses in 2019
