If you like droning #metal and standing around with nodding battlejacketed longhair types, the Armory's a spectacular event space in #SomervilleMA (RIP #ONCESomerville).
Doors at 7, #EstherBlue opens at 8, tickets ~$30, All ages show!
These will all be for sale this weekend at Somerville Open Studios - come see them in person at the Armory mezzanine, stop #45, 12-6p Saturday & Sunday.
Using the dryer rather than...just hanging things up is a not-eco-friendly American addiction, and I appreciate a well-built drying rack.
I saw a house in St Johnsbury, #Vermont with 4x of these wall mounted rotary clothes airers on their porches and thought they were a great idea, and finally found the right search terms today for a source.
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 #somervilleopenstudios 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 union, the Somerville municipal employees association, has been without a contract for 650 days now. And the last time we got a raise was July 2021. We are the people who work at the public libraries, we are the people who clean and maintain the streets, we are the school nurses and the city hall clerks.
If you live in Somerville and have feelings about this, please consider contacting the mayor. The mayor is the one who ultimately decides whether we get a contract or a raise
Found just enough snow on Prospect Hill to do a single and surprisingly dangerous ceremonial sled ride on the sled I bought yesterday in anticipation of the storm. #somervillema#mawx#whoohoo
Here's a fun story published in 1903 about the rise of automobiles in #SomervilleMA, including a debate over steam vs gasoline (steam was more popular but gasoline car owners were sure they were right). Also included is a comparison of the price of owning a horse. So much has changed, but so little has changed. #history#cars
