I'm disgusted that my rep Chynah Tyler voted in favor of this Trumpian legislation. This does not represent the interests of her district which has suffered generations of environmental racism. #MAPoli
Graphic from Act on Mass that reads VOTE ALERT: DID YOUR STATE REP VOTE TO ROLL BACK MA'S CLIMATE GOALS with the images of eleven Massachusetts state representatives - all Democrats - who either vote in favor (7) or refrained from voting (4) on Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities, and Energy on advancing a sweeping bill to roll back MA's 2030 climate goals.

The part when the entire collection is reboxed, labeled, and barcoded is the most satisfying part of being a processing archivist. #Archives
Several shelves of neatly arranged gray, archival boxes with white labels.

I'm pretty sure the only light at this game was the camera flash.

I can't make a better argument for ranked choice voting than the fact that our current system will have the contenders in the general election be two candidates that 70% of the electorate didn't vote for. #BosPoli
Screenshots of the results of the Boston City Council District 7 preliminary election on September 9, 2025.

Trekkies: if you see this post your first experience with #startrek

So I was visiting my Uncle & Aunt in Florida, and my Uncle (jokingly?) announced he would not be going to Disney World with us that day. The reason: there was a Star Trek marathon on TV. The show that was on: "Shore Leave"
