Here's a first look at the results of my public records request to the state police about that helicopter over the protests on Jan 10.

See, we need to adjust our framing. It wasn't a #Blizzard, it was "environmental enrichment". Kept us physically engaged (shoveling). It was good for us all then. Things I learned from seals. #Boston

One reviewer said I didn't understand nutrition science and focused too much on social science issues. The other reviewer said I didn't understand social science and focused too much on nutrition science issues.

This is appalling. BTW: if you have Canadian ancestry, trans families are succeeding with urgent processing of the #LostCanadian pathway submissions. Like really urgent.

They found him. He died. Another murder by our immigration goon squads

Do you think the #BrainDrain will come up in the #SOTU? I don't. It's real and it's a problem. For a generation, I'm afraid. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/24/m...

People try to discredit #solar panels with "what about when it snows in New England?" It has been our 10 year experience that the next morning most snow has slid off (except the very bottom edge). Our panels have been producing today, 1 day post-#Blizzard. Here is the array on our roof today.

Gov. "I can't decide how to answer questions about this" Ayotte? Well, okay then. Keep 'em coming.

Some of you may enjoy this. From tonight's WCVB's 11pm newscast. #cybertruck #blizzard

Help out the Somerville Fire Department and get a free ice cream cone!! Shovel out the fire hydrant in front of your house, take a picture and then come into Gracie’s (whenever we’re open next) for a free cone.

The #Blizzard took out the newspaper for tomorrow. #Boston www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/23/b...

(1/2) Hey, Somerville. As we continue to work through this storm, please know all City offices will be physically closed on Tuesday, February 24. City staff will be working on snow response and any services that can be completed virtually, so please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Well, that was interesting. I went downstairs to get my #lace out of the car trunk from yesterday, and found that we would have to shovel inside of our house for the first time is a quarter of a century that we've lived here.... Whoops. #Blizzard #SomervilleMA

Oh my: #MarketBasket is closing today. #Boston #SomervilleMA #blizzard www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/23/m...

Been there, done that, but luckily didn't get the iron lung: thetyee.ca/Opinion/2018...

I don’t know who John Davidson is. But I have Tourette syndrome. This is a tough situation. I will assume that he is not a horrible racist for the purposes of this thread. If he is, everything I wrote holds true for many, many other people with TS, the majority of those with severe tics are kids.

They towin'. Fast. #SomervilleMA

As my mother is no longer around to say this, in her memory I will note the following: "Governor Dukakis had the NICEST SWEATERS during the Blizzard of '78!" #mapoli

Me, super prepared: oh, I'll put out the camping light, make sure it's charged, and if the power goes out in the blizzard it will be easy to find. Cat: this looks fun. [Love the moji camping light, retrieved it from under the furniture] #Blizzard

Let's try this again 👋 Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA. I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

still unclear to me how the species made it this far

This is why my brewing school, Siebel, has moved to Canada after over 150 years in Chicago. It was billed as "America's Brewing School." Most of our classmates and almost half the professors were not from the US

#LostCanadians in #NewHampshire. Calling to you. BTW: I realized that Karoline Leavitt's nephew is eligible for this, should he need to leave the country.... www.unionleader.com/opinion/op-e...

Do not come to the US right now. Just don't. #WorldCup #immigration #ICE www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

A lot of people, including me, were wondering how an IRB could ever approve this study. The answer is that no IRB did. The person who “signed off” on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.

While we wait on Rubella's return, Mumps has stepped in to keep things scary.

They are grifter influencers peddling misinformation themselves. Vani Hari? Zen Honeycutt? Cranks to the max. They were using RFK as the driver of their clown car.

This is the world that RFK Jr dreamed of & he can make his dreams come true each & every day cuz he runs the US health system & let's not forget that his extreme anti-vaxx animus & conspiracy theories are also affecting vaccination globally such as through him defunding Gavi the Vaccine Alliance

Lie down with anti-vaxxer dogs, get up with a lot more than fleas. Cranks are not trustworthy. But I am enjoying the infighting. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/u...

Anybody who thinks it stops with immigrants and trans folks is delusional. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/n...

Ever wondered how your grant got cancelled? No we know. Some college dropout asked ChatGPT "is it DEI/woke"? www.techdirt.com/202...

Sometimes all you can do is laugh.

I wrote a long + thoughtful reply to a young person deciding on the US or Canada because of their #LostCanadian opportunity. I talked about scientists leaving, destruction of institutions, women dying from lack of health care, a looming trans genocide....and more. #Reddit removed it for "hate'.

Unreachable. The damage to this poor kid, and the parents are unmoved. #VaccinesSaveLives #vaccination #measles www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...

Yah. I missed a flight once. I try to be a supporter of public transit but when it fails it can fail you really seriously.

BIG NEWS: Universal broadband coverage is coming to Massachusetts. Internet access isn't a luxury. It's how folks find work, connect with loved ones and more. With final approval from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, we're bringing broadband to communities statewide.

I was going to post this tomorrow for #WIPWednesday but it turns out it's the perfect #MardiGras colors so here it is now. Laissez les bon temps rouler! Pattern: tattingbythebay.blogspot.com/2016/10/mary...

Oh look. Somebody put whistle in the little free library box. #ICE #Immigration

Who ever could have seen this coming

Someone pointed out to me recently that the logo for Wuthering Heights new film is actually... #lace! I am here for the lace font. I am agnostic on the actual film.

I've been hearing for years that the failure to teach/learn cursive handwriting was going to blow back somehow. I didn't really think so. Am now watching youngsters struggle with 19th century really nice penmanship in #LostCanadians forums (on church documents + census forms). Struggle. Real.

All men too. Just the way they want it. Speaking of: what is the name on JD Vance's birth certificate? I mean, I know he has a passport because he got booed in Italy. But I'm curious.....

Please read this long but important thread from an immigration defense attorney. If this administration is permitted to scale its current abuse, neglect, and inhumane treatment of immigrants to the breadth and scope for which they’re currently planning, we’ll all be witness to mass atrocities.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Roses are red, violets are blue, follow public health advice, thanks, we couldn't think of a way to end this.... Happy Valentine's day.

The battle of Big Food and Big Pharma? We live in interesting times. #GLP1 #MCD #PEP

Oh, wow: I had no idea. George Washington Carver was also a #crochet lace maker! You can try the patterns. #BlackHistoryMonth #lace pieceworkmagazine.com/george-washi...

I'm old enough to remember when interfering with some clergy was full-on outrage....
