Spotted a Fisher cat on the side of Little River Road in Dartmouth late this afternoon. It was favoring one of its front feet (the one it has weight on in this photo), but didn't look obviously injured otherwise. I waited for it to move off the road before proceeding.
I saw people out working for the #ElizabethWarren campaign in front of the grocery store today. A few years ago, I gave her $300 and voted for her. With her background and messaging, and coming from the #CFPB in particular, I hoped she would actually fight for Americans with no wealth and little income.
Instead, most of what she did for two years was call for Biden to subsidize the upper middle class (her donor base); and convince young, left-leaning people to hate #Biden

Not good for #GOTV this November, she may have helped elect Republicans.
And she’s been a pivotal figure in creating a misinformed public on inflation, student debt, and the economic situation of poorer Americans

A robber fly eating what appears to be a species of biting fly. This act of predation is occurring on my Subaru in Framingham, #Massachusetts. The biting fly had it coming. An iPhone 5 photo taken 13 July 2013. Ish.
The Ether Dome at Massachusetts General Hospital. This surgical amphitheater is where the first use of ether anesthesia. In 1846, a patient slept comfortably while a tumor was removed from his neck. He woke up stating he had no pain. The use of anesthesia was transformative.
The sales tax implications of buying an automobile in Massachusetts is a money grap. You buy an automobile in Massachusetts, you pay sales tax. After a while you sell it to someone and they pay sales tax. They later sell it to their 16 year old neighbor and the neighbor pays sales tax. All these transactions are for the same automobile. #Taxachusetts#massachusetts

#Massachusetts folks, please call your state senators and reps and ask them to support H.4263 which shifts responsibility for plastic waste to the producer from the consumer, incentivizing industry to shift away from plastic. It needs to be favorably reported out of Ways and Means. This would be a game-changer in the fight against plastic waste.
Good op-ed from legislators in today's Globe in the next post. /1
"During the isolation of the pandemic, I had the opportunity to revisit my archive of negatives and contact sheets from the 1980s, and discovered a number of interesting images that I had never printed. These photographs were made between 1979-1985 in a pre-digital, largely un-air-conditioned era, when people fled the heat of their houses to hang out in their yards and on the street. I notice a kind of relaxed sensuality in many of the pictures. Time moved more slowly; restlessness led to spontaneous play."
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!
“In a drastic attempt to protect their beachfront homes, residents in Salisbury, Massachusetts, invested $500,000 in a sand dune to defend against encroaching tides. After being completed last week, the barrier made from 14,000 tons of sand lasted just 72 hours before it was completely washed away”
An unsparing report on Massachusetts' administration of public housing, from #ProPublica and #WBUR. More than 180,000 people are on the wait list, while more than 2,000 apartments sit empty.
