More of the fire performers, this time jump roping with a fire whip. Special thanks to Hunt’s Photo Video, Sony (even though I don’t use a Sony Camera), and Cirque Delight for doing this.

Spent most of the last two days cutting out and interfacing a huge stack of messenger bags. I’m hoping to have these ready for on May 4-5 - I’ll be selling stuff in the Armory and will have lots of tote bags, aprons, and messenger bags for gamers, bicyclists, and nerds of all varieties!

My this week is tracking down this historic lace pricking [the paper or parchment with the pin holes for our pattern].

Found in Gertrude Whiting's "Tools and toys of stitchery" from 1928.

I found the ship--it is an Edward Savage rare print from 1799. I couldn't believe it. Anyone with insights--please share.

Discussion of this triggered the memory of my of my lace group friends, who knew of this "lace or needlework" pattern from ~1720. Dated because it's on the back of a deed in #Boston.

Gosh, I love a rabbit hole through archives.

WaPo says will have a 93% with a peak at 3:29pm.

This is mostly a note to me, because I keep forgetting to put it on my calendar.

You can enter a city for an estimate.

Metam0re is looking for vendors/artists for Summer Id0l Jam 2024, to be held on July 27th in Framingham, MA. It's a free entry single day idol-themed con-type event, mainly featuring idol showcases (plural!!! :mexcitedmiku: ), singing, and a cosplay contest. Last year's was easily one of the most fun events of the year. They're looking to grow it out a lot this year, in one way by having a market area for vendors. (Because we clearly need another way to spend money on merch. The Miku pin I bought at the artist alley last weekend was a need, it was Miku day! :leafeonmoney: ) Figure I should post about it here since word tends to spread mainly on instagram, but there are a decent number of fanartists and folks in the Northeast US/Boston-area specifically on Fedi!

This is somewhat late notice, but anyone in #BostonMA looking for some great music on a Sunday afternoon, I'm singing again, now with the Masterworks Chorale!

Although Bach is the headlining piece, the Dett "Chariot Jubilee" is fabulous and the soloist singing with us, Fred C. VanNess, Jr., is SO good.

And we're also singing the Alice Parker (RIP 💔) arrangement of "Wondrous Love" which is one of my very favorite choral pieces. 🎶

Rep. Stephen Lynch gave a very strong speech in support of funding for Ukraine at the rally in Boston today. I'm just sorry that more people didn't turn out. Only a few hundred, maybe. #Ukraine #Boston #BostonMa

Well, they finally updated the wastewater data for the greater area. The update only shows data up to December 27, and there is a nearly vertical leap at the end, so I can only imagine what it's going to look like when it is next updated.

Hello #Boston #BostonMA @universalhub! Does anybody know why the daily usage data has suddenly disappeared from the Boston Water & Sewer Commission #BWSC customer portal, and whether/when it will be restored? I use this data to monitor my home for leaks. It's a significant disservice for it to be taken away.
