I actually don’t care what the founding fathers would say about the present and I don’t think you should either

you cannot expect the public library to be ALL THINGS TO ALL PEOPLE because you shuttered all of the other services and public spaces and then get mad when they need money

there's a double decker getting turned into a triple decker on our street and the old folks are MAD we won't sign a petition to keep it to two units. "The character of our neighborhood!" ma'am, you voted for Bloomberg and regularly park on the sidewalk. what character????

No, there is no "nuance" about the Prairieland defendants. Anything less than total condemnation of these prosecutions and sentences is capitulation to fascism. The leopards will eat your face too

This is horrifying. People getting sentenced to decades in prison for distributing zines, organizing mutual aid efforts, public protest.

RENT CONTROL: The Supreme Judicial Court ruled this morning that a ballot question to impose rent control in Massachusetts cannot proceed to the November ballot because it relates to religion, religious practices, or religious institutions. #mapoli

the fucking unibank plane is back

shoutout to whoever got us the new fancy 🚨 flashing 🚨 four-way stop signs. I was about to start carrying rocks, but this is probably better 👍

the Unibank plane has flown overhead three times in an hour. I feel compelled to tell everyone that there are two All-One Credit Unions in Worcester and so far they're very nice. ditch your national bank and join a credit union. you can do it online probably.

This is obviously a reaction to my recent piece about how it’s fucked that Toomey, an employee of the sheriff, has been public safety chair for a decade. But most ppl don’t know that and are instead going to see a 20-year veteran of the council asking what the council does. Lol. Got my ass Kate

my great enemy (ed augustus and the unibank plane)

very smart and kind of the city to fill in our local dog park with gravel, making it p much unusable in the hot weather.

*Another* pedestrian killed by a driver in Worcester. In a crosswalk. So much about this story is awful.

okay, fine. June 11th. we will put an AC in. eugh.

I am no traffic engineer, but I think we should simply design roads that make drivers nervous and scared so they slow the fuck down. We shouldn't want drivers to feel comfortable.

Democrats not let republicans frame every issue and constantly play defense challenge: impossible

Really recommend reading the whole thing

attn: asshole Worcester townies ⬇️

most ridiculous urgent care visit today but funniest? part was when the nurse or whomever took my vitals and then asked me to undress the wound, and I was like sure but it's probably gonna bleed a lot when I tug the dressing, and she goes ok. I remove it, bleeding everywhere and SHE JUST LEFT?

do the woosox know that this is who they're being mean to every week at 9:30pm????

if you write the words "student is noncompliant" in an iep, I think you should be fired 🤗 thank you for coming to my ted talk.

I've got space for a few middle or high school adhd coaching clients this summer, and summer young adult & adult lgbtq&adhd support groups start soon, hmu. sliding scale avail.

BREAKING: the Massachusetts House just passed one of the best data privacy bills in the country. It includes a total ban on the sale of precise location data and includes a private right of action allowing people to sue Big Tech over data abuses. HUGE WIN! But there’s more work to do 🧵

MASSACHUSETTS FOLKS! The MA House is expected to vote soon on H. 4746 the Massachusetts Consumer Data Privacy Act. This is a really good bill! Call your house reps and tell them to advance it WITH a private right of action so you can sue Big Tech for data abuse fftf.link/madataprivacy

All I want for Pride is for Massachusetts to require foster families to be affirming homes for queer and trans kids.

"The UN Special Rapporteur on Torture determined that 'The use of electric shock as an intervention for the behavior of students with disabilities violates the UN Convention Against Torture and other international standards' and called for it to be discontinued."

Right during "students are walking home" hours. Slow the fuck down, people. No one needs to die just so you can get to the next stoplight faster.

when one has a party and tries to put 15 watermelons in a yellow trash bag, then one is from Worcester

There’s a free mushroom walk that will be held at Green Hill Park in Worcester this Sunday, May 31st at 10 am sharp. Hope you can make it! baystaters.org/worcester-mu...

was omw to an IEP meeting and at 6:30am there was already stopped traffic on 3 south. how does anyone inside 495 live like this.

logging on to say again that one visitor at a time or per day for inpatient mental health units is a bullshit policy. siblings, parents, friends, all often come in sets of more than one.

I was in a sick visit with an urgent care doc who does not know me and she still felt comfortable asking if I had "ever heard of" ozempic. I was there for a lump in my neck (turned out ok, I'm fine)

For anyone wondering, separation of home and school life saves lives (source: me, alive beyond my 18th birthday)

For years now I've been dying to write the true & proper history of Worcester's most significant contribution to the world outside the dome, the SMILEY FACE, and I finally got to do so in PLAYBOY of all places check it out. tyvm to the @playboy.com team 😎 www.playboy.com/read/politic...

My petty Monday peeve this week is that everyone should say "public funds" instead of "tax dollars" and "public" instead of "taxpayer."

A firefighter was killed in a crash on Hope av in Worcester. Hit by a driver while walking. Another victim of our terrible car culture. www.telegram.com/story/news/2...

This is today at 10am!

fuck landlords, man. Neighbors' LL is replacing their 50 year old stoves and now jacking the rent another $300/mo. all three families have to move. none of them can afford to stay in Worcester. it sucks.

We really do always wave to Orson.

Hell yeah, baybeeee 😎

After years of union-busting and no contract, tens of thousands of REI members have pledged to boycott REI’s Anniversary Sale May 15-25. Solidarity with @reiunion.bsky.social in their fight for a fair contract. Stand with REI workers and don’t shop during the sale!

In my post this week I broke down why the council’s budget approval process isn’t worth paying any attention to because it’s fake and everyone involved knows it lol

may you be as pleased with the weather today as Goose is 💕

The only good new one is Rogue One.

More like Ass State Police am I right folks
