It's happening! www.mass.gov/news/several...

dropped my Spotify account down from premium to basic, which drops the Hulu with ads add on (and also saves me a dollar a month lol)

Man there's a shakedown and then there's a *shakedown*

The ancestors compel me to choose light blue but I love laghman so much, dark teal beckons... Pink is cheating but if we're allowing for diaspora communities that's the choice

Was able to get a covid (and flu) vaccine at CVS in Massachusetts, no fuss. I was also not the only person doing it on my lunch break, shout out to the health nerds of greater Boston

I read the lady who never checks a bag and was on my way to being negatively polarized against it and then they have to go and find Scaramucci

Yeah it's very waffles/pancakes thinking that people can't handle drawing multiple analogies. This admin can be like the Taliban *and* a continuation of white Christian extremism in America, lucky us

Reports that ICE is on the Boston College campus currently

The headline and story are about the plunge in Latino spending but Asian drop is also notable. Turns out ICE raids and tariffs have effects! www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The Earth is the common heritage of mankind and no corner of it should be denied to anyone merely on the basis of race, religion, nationality, ethnicity, or place of birth.

Whales are literally "elephant fish" in vietnamese, it's my favorite compound word ever

Re blue state coordination, apparently something is cooking wrt public health service coordination (the states in question are the new england states minus new hampshire plus new york, new jersey, and Pennsylvania) mobileapp.bostonglobe.com/08242025_f01...

This is a Biden admin change (the one that made MENA a top line category) a. There are recent white immigrants, they should be able to express the fullness of their identities like eg Asians b. People with multiple nonwhite identities do just check many boxes, white people don't get to be exempt lol

Bowl of clam chowder, an actual live lobster, regular at dunkin, second molasses flood, the options are many

They’re just burning $10 million in birth control (originally for USAID, was stored in Belgium, bound for Africa) instead of even selling it mobileapp.bostonglobe.com/08082025_01b...

(farthest you've been) N: somewhere in the Scottish highlands 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 S: Mekong Delta 🇻🇳 E: Hong Kong 🇭🇰 W: San Francisco 🇺🇸

this is what beit hanoun looked like (from arabi21.com/story/155862...)

Our long nightmare is over mobileapp.bostonglobe.com/07232025_179...

Watched Superman after seeing a ton of people recommend it here. It was great, love my woke immigrant boy scout superman

I've always enjoyed the lengths to which the freedom trail people try to disguise the fact that it's currently a Chipotle www.thefreedomtrail.org/trail-sites/...

Me, a Vietnamese American

Made a bunch of japchae! 🍽️🍜 (used hot pot glass noodles because that's what I had on hand lol)

Nope lmao

We are dismantling American higher education & scientific research & health care & all the other things to fund concentration camps

ICE has kidnapped the manager of the popular Suya Joint, a West African restaurant in Boston, and his family need our help to cover his legal fees. Please contribute and share if you can:

In case the Bloomberg screenshot is cut off, it includes the words "hot commie summer" lmao

I can't believe a good thing is happening, good job new york

Watched the colbert extended interview with mamdani and lander and I didn't really get the impression he was going after mamdani, more giving him space to address the concerns (as bs as they are) that people might have

Yeahhh go OKC! (I used to live there, tho I left before they got the thunder, lol)

OKC defense has been insane in the second half, I don't think pacers can do this if they keep it up

Crazy good game 7 so far

Was in Freeport and Brunswick, Maine over the past few days. Highly recommend, favorite was probably the Arctic Museum at Bowdoin College, which had a cool exhibit on Inuit textiles: www.bowdoin.edu/arctic-museu...

illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president

Jalen Williams is cooking 🔥

Incredible steal from OKC

Indiana found their offense 🍿cmon OKC!

In non end of the world news, OKC looked good in the first half!

(desperately searching for a silver lining) at least we're getting more sports on bluesky

doing rough math and decided the funniest outcome is if a bad sports trade in Boston activates enough disaffected gamblers to create a movement that overthrows the goverment

It's cool the red sox don't have to win I say, crying

I binged a bunch of This Old House episodes around Christmas last year

That's more than the actual population of Boston proper by a long shot, wow (and a fifth of the metro area!)

Boston's combo #NoKings but YAAAS Queen event

OKC pulled it off somehow ahahaha #NBAsky

Man they are fouling and missing free throws all over the place

If OKC pulls this off, this'll be incredible

OKC, what are you doing

I saw Yao Ming at Costco once, way back when he still played for the rockets. He was walking out with a supplement or medication bottle accompanied by a short (ie normal height) woman, prob his translator. I was at the food court and everyone else there was also like yeah makes sense he shops here

FULL clip of agents throwing Sen. Alex Padilla to the ground and handcuffing him. Officers threw him and held him to the ground even while he is seen as not resisting. Footage from Sen. Padilla’s staff

Pride at Fenway! #baseball
