My cat did not react at all to the boom and building vibration from the bolide/meteor but she does run away every time I sneeze within a few feet of her.

Another cursed Boston spring, aka beautiful warm sunny weekdays and rainy and cold weekends.

Went to seven indie bookstores in four cities today. Bought six books (five are novels in translation). Saw Mother Mary. May never recover physically but had an amazing day!

Love to get a cold that hits its peak on my three day weekend but makes sure I'm better to go back to work.

I am not in contact with anyone from high school hool but I am still close to my elementary school best friend (we went to different high schools which probably kept us closer in the long run).

I'm so sad 😭

The Testament of Ann Lee is no less astonishing, emotional, ecstatic the second time. So lucky to have seen it in both 35 and 70 mm. Also so lucky to be able to leave my apartment and walk to an incredible indie theater in under 5 minutes!!

I grew up on the Hudson (more upper than lower), and now I live near the Charles.

Yes, please!! This would be so helpful and save me from relying on fan wikis' summaries to jog my memory. Some of the series that have done these have written them in their own universe's style. Shout out to Shelley Parker-Chan, Saara El-Arifi, and M.A. Carrick!

Spent some of my first day of 2026 enjoying History here in Somerville, MA – 250 years since the first raising of the Grand Union flag on Prospect Hill.

Looking at some nice towels and am flabbergasted by the fat tax on the "oversized" versus "regular" towels. The oversized are 4" longer and 4" wider, but $18 (!!!) more.

It's practically 2026, can we stop putting scratch-off pin number sections on gift cards? Amazon has peel off ones!

Jason Momoa almost stepped on me at a comic con in Boston in like, 2014. Yes, I know we all joke about hot celebs stepping on us but this was incredibly mundane. I was sitting way too close to a walkway at the end of the day and he and his entourage walked right by.

an entire generation losing their minds that their children and grandchildren would DARE to do anything they don't understand and turning the full might of the world's imperial powers against the people they profess to love most

At the stage of being away from my cat where I just look at her through my pet camera and mumble apologies for not being there.

What did I do to deserve seeing all of you have such wrong opinions about Rogue One, a great movie that was great before Andor.

Breakfast? Slice of cake. Dessert? Slice of cake. That's a Birthday right.

Can we normalize trains?

this is the result of extremely committed work from the Somerville for Palestine folks. proud of my neighbors.

On Sunday, I made soup for the first time this season and it is so good, it has set an incredibly high soup bar for the many soups to follow.

Accidentally won a costume contest tonight before a screening of Wake Up Dead Man, after seeing Bram Stoker's Dracula this afternoon (on film!) – good Halloween!

I assure you that this Oreo will never use AI (she does not know how computers work).

My initials are SAS so I am SAS in short. But also this is only a representative part of me so my online presence is me in short.

What's your sign? (Playing off Jamie's here)

Parallel play but it's my cat and me napping in the same room on separate surfaces (unfortunately she claimed the bed first so I'm on the loveseat).

Look, PSLF absolutely needs reworking. As it currently stands, it's inaccessible for many LIS workers. That said, the proposed changes are going to make it even harder for us. The administration could potentially disqualify public and academic libraries, without any challenge process.

The thought of more than once a day service between Boston and Albany that might not take FIVE HOURS is too much, I am verklempt.

Mass! The Watertown Library has been experiencing organized harassment for including 2 books on summer readings lists; A Map for Falasteen & Homeland: My Father Dreams of Palestine It got over 2K emails from across the country & some local harassment, claiming these books are antisemitic 1/4

the thing that kills me about “people in red states deserve to suffer” is we live in a red country under that definition and none of these people think that they themselves deserve suffering just because they live here

I don't have words to describe the disgust I feel for the overwhelming majority of academic institutions at this period in our history Quislings, guarding money and access

Today is a particularly good day to support trans mutual aid as a concrete way to fight back against the fuckers trying to take their healthcare and other rights away. 🧵 of a few groups, campaigns, and individuals you can donate to:

Hey Chuck, this decision rips health care away from Americans

So grateful to the @bostondykemarch.com for always being the unapologetically queer, radical, & communal protest I need. 💖

“Trans dignity is a losing issue for Democrats, Palestine freedom is a losing issue, the dignity of the homeless and immigrants is a losing issue.” I do not fucking care! Fight for it anyway or give up. What else are we fighting for if not?

Honestly, embarrassing for Bluesky that we can't get @mbta.com to use their account here.

It's cruel. It's an incredible escalation of their anti-trans culture war. And there is still a chance to stop the provision in the Senate, so if you have a trans person in your life you care about, I implore you - make your voice heard with your Senators. Both of them. Republican OR Democrat.

There have been a lot of horrifying stories about ICE terrorism in Massachusetts the past couple weeks. We want to do a thread about what you can do here in Massachusetts to stand up for immigrant communities. #mapoli 🧵

this sunday, come protest the anti-trans groups holding a fundraiser in Kendall Sq, Cambridge. 5pm, at 450 Kendall St.

heads up y'all help stop this anti-trans fundraiser in kendall on sunday, 5/18 #CambridgeMA #BostonMA #SupportTransPeople

This isn’t just an op-ed either, it’s the editorial board of one of the most important legacy papers in the country. They are absolutely trying to launder transphobia as a respectable centrist opinion turned elite consensus, as happened in the UK.

May we become a nation worthy of Rumeysa Ozturk's faith.

So therefore the court finds that she does not pose danger to community or present risk of flight. THE COURT ORDERS THE GOVERNMENT TO RELEASE OZTURK FROM CUSTODY IMMEDIATELY. "Ms. Ozturk is free to return to her home in Massachusetts."

We are sorry to announce that we have to cancel all screenings through Monday, April 21 due to a building-wide emergency. This is a big financial hit for our single-screen cinema. Please consider making a donation today to support The Brattle: brattlefilm.my.salesforce-sites.com/donate/?dfId...

One of my favorite places in the world is having a tough run of luck. I understand this isn’t a good time for anybody but here’s how to help if you can and are so inclined.

This is where your Harry Potter money goes

“I told her to keep going out, to be with her community. I wanted her to live her life,” E. recalled, her voice breaking. “And then she got abducted in broad daylight.”
