Spending time this evening reviewing CPA projects submitted in Worcester. To the naysayers & cranks complaining about the increased taxes (1.5% surcharge after exemptions on property tax), I'm happy to have my $70 annually going to parks, green spacing, historic preservation, & affordable housing.

While I should't be surprised, why the Worcester 311 Center on Main St doesn't have replacement recycling bins is simply mind boggling. They're open on Sat and it would seem like a no brainer. Instead you have to go during the week to DPW at 20 E Worcester St. Make it make sense.

Nothing like spending the end of the year, completing a bunch of human subjects, GCP, and research security training. 🫠 Gonna need a lot more coffee.

Pretty damning if you ask me. Shameful that some candidates have received donations from John monfredo and have not spoken up and returned those donations.

National Coffee Day is coming: Here’s a list of places offering deals

Are we great yet? #getvaxed

I mean @ipickupworcesterlitterverywell may not love this, but I feel like this could be entertaining around the city. Turtle Boy? The new trash cans? The possibilities are limitless. #whydoialwaysfeelliketwhysomebodyswatchingme

Can anyone tell me how on earth my mom is the only person I know of who manages to pocket dial me constantly using an iPhone?! It is MADDENING! I'm not talking one call in a blue moon. I'm talking several repeat calls.

@massbike.bsky.social FYI. All for education and safety, but given some of our councilors positions on things like bike lanes or protected bicycle infrastructure, I feel like this is more of a veiled threat.

UPS just tried (incorrectly) to deliver to me a rather heavy package of what I can only assume were beans from a local coffee roaster. Managed to catch the driver and returned said package before they left. Fairly certain I am deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize due to this action alone.

Tornado touches down in Central Mass., National Weather Service confirms

Well that was fun. To my fellow parents in Worcester, are you choosing basement with the kids or solo tornado? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

On a separate note, WTFlorida. 🤦‍♂️Not only is this the worst timeline but it's the worst Florida. SMH. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Your CPA funds at work! Very proud of this initiative and hoping to continue to see more housing projects coming in future funding cycles

Anyone in Worcester interested in going?

Friendly piece of advice to folks running for office - do not place yard signs out in folks yards if you have not spoken to them about doing so. It's rude. If we haven't spoken or I don't know that our values align, then I have no interest in providing your campaign with advertising space.

What in the current hell-scape timeline is happening?

What's the point of data and reporting if this putz is going to just throw a hissyfit if he doesn't like the numbers. SMH.

Welp, my Raspberry Pi3 finally died. Likely overheated. looking at a 5 with a fan and better heatsink. only really use it for running home assistant and a number of bridges. Anyone got one they like?

American Cheese is disgusting. I would rather eat sandpaper. I will die on this hill.

The Tallest Man on Earth is performing in Oct. Do I know anyone who is interested? Been to two of his shows before and both were fantastic. #thetallestmanonearth

Does ANYONE know anyone who needs/wants a pack and play? Used, but in great shape. Happy to deliver it in the Worcester Area. #worcester #babystuff #free

Nice write up about the George Street Challenge, this Sunday. And if you REAAAAAAAALLY want to be involved, come help clean up at noon tomorrow, Friday. All the cool kids are doing it.

100%. Shocking when we build outdoor spaces where you don't have to worry about your physical safety that people WANT to use and enjoy them.

So pleased to have been part of this.

Very excited to see the first round of projects recommended for funding by the CPC going to City Council next week. Hope to see these approved as is. Also looking forward to our second round of projects later this year.

The Elm Park Playground rehabilitation project finished well before the July 31 target date set by the city, and in time for the Independence Day holiday weekend.

Solid line at Scoop's! So glad to see another ice cream shop in town, and in the neighborhood!

The LED sign folks at zoning board of appeals are really pulling all the stops to try and get this thing approved. A lot of we know better energy in my opinion.

Sad to see another Canal District favorite closing.

That feeling of rage when some putz in a pickup with "truck nuts" pulls out into traffic, cutting you off, and then they have the audacity to appear incensed. SMH.

Currently working from home in my attic bedroom. it’s beautiful and warm day outside. 79°, birds chirping happily, and the most delightful aroma of fresh lilacs wafting in on the breeze. It’s finally feeling like summer in Worcester Massachusetts.

"A winter scene by Dutch master Hendrick Avercamp was among nine notable paintings that were stolen from the home of the late industrialist Robert W. Stoddard and his wife Helen on Monmouth Drive on the night of June 22, 1978.

Definitely not my best parenting day, or best day as a whole. Gonna need more coffee and some deep breaths.

Oof, I’ll tell you what, some days there is simply not enough coffee in the world. (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

Anyone know any organizations or anyone in Worcester who needs a pack and play? Hate the idea of throwing it away. It's used but in great shape. Have the changing table attachment and all for it too.

“Sesame Street” has found itself a new home. Netflix announced that the decades-old public educational television program will premiere its 56th season on the global streaming giant, along with 90 hours of previous episodes.

Spotted another sign for @linhares4worcester.bsky.social on Salisbury today! WOOHOO! Let's do this!

Man child who court ordered to complete mandatory retraining to learn how to not exploit cancer charities has question on why a woman with a Doctorate in Education didn’t detect cancer.😑 The fascism is unbearable enough and the sheer stupidity makes it just that much more insufferable.

If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, one neat trick is to not engage in a campaign of terror around the country wherein you kidnap people off the streets to slave dungeons in accommodation of an autocratic fascist and his nationalist movement's desire for racial purity.

You know you’re winning when you post “We are NOT the Gestapo!”

Per usual - garbage take. It's the Boston Herald so I shouldn't be surprised they are pro police & anti police accountability. I oppose buffer zones like this as they are more of an excuse to both avoid accountability and prevent others from observing them. www.bostonherald.com/2025/05/19/w...

In a little over a year’s time, Cordella’s has fueled a buzz of life on a still relatively quiet street. The June Street neighborhood — in which co-owners Andy Jimison and wife Jessica Rao reside — got the coffee shop it thirsted for and found in Cordella’s a place helping to foster a community.

Took this beautiful shot of the @umasschan.bsky.social campus yesterday. Looking through my photos it looks like I had a similar one almost a year ago when the NERB was still being finished.

Caught up with some of the bike to work crew from @umasschan.bsky.social, @massbike.bsky.social , Seven Hills Wheelmen, and WalkBike Worcester. Sadly wasn't able to bike in myself but looking forward to more opportunities to do so and more infrastructure from Worcester and UMass Chan to support it.

In my quest to aquire licenses/credentials/knowledge, I'm going to spend time this summer getting my ham radio license and my boating license - just because I can. Any other suggestions from the peanut gallery? #getallthelicenses #gottacatchthemall #knowledgeispower #knowingishalfthebattle

Imagine is we finally fixed Gold Star Blvd in Worcester? gizmodo.com/salt-lake-ci...

Worcester definitely needs more of this!

More of what we need in Worcester

Wish Worcester could get something like this. Imagine how transformative this could be for both recreation, conservation, and for businesses. Businesses thrive along rail trails and other bicycle infrastructure. #worcesterbikes
