Welp. I thought I knew what to expect re funding sources for the "No on 3" campaign, but this legit astonished me.

$20k of donations from one wealthy Somerville family, another $19k from 69 other donors in Somerville ... and that makes up less than 20% of […]

I am a very slow canvasser, but I went out today to canvass for Jon Link. Had some really great conversations on the doors. Definitely felt like I was having an Overton Window discussion with a couple of folks. 😅

The mutual aid garden keeps on giving, both in friendships and in food bounty. Harvested beans for 30 min tonight with a neighbor. Now to curl up with my reading while @hakamadare cooks them for the household. 😍 #garden #mutualaid #gardening

Sometimes, what I need is to see flowers and the butts of pollinators at work. Sharing here in case that's also true for you. #bloomscrolling #bees #flowers

I did actually make it out to the end of the Fluff festival in #somervillema today. This is basically the only photo I got, but it's a banger! This guy said he voluntarily got decorated with a peanut butter and fluff sandwich. His partner said there would be thorough showering when they got home. 😆

I made this quilt top a year ago and still haven't managed to finish the edges off after quilting the sandwich, but fuck, I want to prove to myself I still do crafts, so I'm looking at this pic and feeling some pride. This was a ton of work. It's not done […]

@solcita.sunnie.org snapped this pic in my own garden. :)

Wooooow.

Not for nothing, but I was outside the house this week for way less than 40 hours. My Pro Flo mask filter is rated for 40 hours at 100 AQI.

I think this is the first time I've seen it go black before changing it.

Developer says they're trying to integrate the Revival window next door, which will be next to their courtyard. #somerpoli

Artistic renderings of what they plan the building to look like (next to Revival restaurant). Commercial elevator for accessibility. #somerpoli

I apparently talk a lot about how much I love beets... to such an extent that someone left me a box of fresh beets in the garden this week, and I honestly don't know who! 😅😅😅 I have begun putting them to good use, though!

Screenshot attached, and I will copy/paste the convo over the next few toots.

He'd asked me for my vote.

I replied: Hi, Justin, I don't think so. You blocked me on twitter for favoriting a tweet a few years ago that asked about why you were changing the […]

HA, this is a common occurrence around here, but I don't often manage to catch it on video! Carol Danvers went from purring up a storm, cuddling my foot, to twisting around onto her back and putting her (shaved somewhat recently due to illness) belly in the air. #cat
June 26, 2025 at 6:17 AM
Cuddle the nearest foot when a foot is all you can reach, I guess? Carol Danvers is very silly. #cat

Just when I thought Google couldn't get worse, it went in for more enshittification. We've got special brand map symbology for national brands & slogans for some! We've got suggested activities while there! (Telling me I might want to replace my car keys is […]

Not for nothing, but this is the first time I've ever actually seen CAO Lammis Vargas in any live form in Somerville. I'm still irritated that we have a CAO before we have a revised charter. :P #somerpoli

Also, everyone's protest signage is great, but I'm not sure anyone can top this sign from 2017, after the Charlottesville murder of Heather Heyer via nazi car. (This was not my sign, to be clear -- it was held by someone near me at a Boston protest against homophobic nazis.)

Not for nothing, but the city of Somerville posting excitedly to social media about the Braille printer tonight is A WHOLE LOOK. The machine was purchased over a year ago but never used! This ADA coordinator has also (within the past month) been publicly […]

I'm looking forward to this book talk next week! Copaganda: how the police and media manipulate our news. Wednesday, 6/4 at 6:30 pm at Connexion in Somerville, MA. #mapoli #somerpoli #policing #politics #somervillema

Today I learned a bunch about map projection stuff for my GIS course.

DID YOU KNOW that Florida uses two different map projection systems for different parts of the state??? This kinda blows my mind. (See image […]

My cat, Carol Danvers, is very very silly. She does this thing where she twists around and pets her own head and sticks her back legs straight out and flips over (sometimes falling off furniture) when she sees us looking at her and she wants treats. This pic […]

It is very very wee, but after thinning some of the hakurai turnips this afternoon (with my mutual aid buddies), I am having the removed turnips in my salad for dinner. This is VERY satisfying. First true salad of the season from my garden is still to come […]
