(PSA: I'm long gone outta here, and suggest you leave, too! Threads is not as good as Twitter once WAS, but it's better than it IS. Migrating may feel difficult, but I'm old enough to have moved from Friendster to MySpace to Facebook all before Twitter even existed; it's easy.)
"As soon as you place an equal value on the lives of the poor, it becomes devastatingly clear that all the nice enticements that tempted you down [South] require you to stand, at all times, on the necks of your fellow citizens." hamiltonnolan.com/p/the-cannibal…
Genuinely thrilled to be headed to @iBDFest this weekend, a legit music festival a few blocks from our house in Quincy with big names but also amazing bands I hadn’t heard before— like @wkndfriends out of Portland, they’re so good! Listen: weakenedfriends.bandcamp.com/album/quitter
We love our cars, but they are also The Problem, and this magnificent book excerpt by @VeronicaODavis in @NextCityOrg captures all the reasons why: nextcity.org/urbanist-news/…
Today and every day I am so, so grateful to librarians whose work is absolutely essential to making art and information available to all--even amid absurdly difficult working conditions. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I’d rather ExxonMobil build up tolerance to lower profits.
The first house Barbie had was released in 1962, over a decade before women's mortgage liberation, where it was technically legal for financial institutions to refuse loans to single women and/or to require them to have a male co-signer.
Hey! I’m playing a free, family- and dog-friendly show tonight! In fact I think our dog Watson will be there, and he would love to meet/lick you, so come say hello! TONIGHT, Sat. July 22nd, at the Ruth Gordon Amphitheater, Pageant Field in Quincy, 6-8:30pm (I’m on at 7:40pm).
@CGS_Earth In his latest for #LandLines, @jongorey explores how technology can equip nonprofits, advocates, and policymakers with powerful insights to help identify and defend affordable housing threatened by speculators and absentee landlords. Learn more: go.lincolninst.edu/l/153411/2023-…
“Florida is not a free state.” This is a really important story, and one more reason I’m proud of, and in love with, the great commonwealth of Massachusetts. bostonglobe.com/2023/07/14/bus…
FYI: Tonight's show has been POSTPONED until SATURDAY, JULY 22. With severe thunderstorms in the forecast, the organizers have rather sensibly decided to postpone this very-much-outdoors show until the following weekend. Hope to see you then, and sorry for the inconvenience!

Took 1 hr 35 min of my one and only life to go 11 stops on the Red Line yesterday — including a 31-minute wait for a Braintree train—but at least it didn't catch fire? 😅 Can you even IMAGINE if we had to host the freaking OLYMPICS next summer??!! Who were they kidding?!

Owning a 100-year-old house is good preparation for living in These Times, when you can't look at anything too closely if you want to go about your day without curling up in a ball of despair.

1.1M Followers 987 Following "Being Henry The Fonz and Beyond"...My Autobiography …Is Out!Today, @Pontifex released Laudato Deum, an update on the 2015 encyclical. It's not so much a breath of fresh air as it is a bucket of ice water, straight to the face of those who are standing in the way of and delaying climate progress. Here are a few highlights:
On the science: "Despite all attempts to deny, conceal, gloss over or relativize the issue, the signs of climate change are here + increasingly evident. No one can ignore the fact that in recent years we've witnessed extreme weather phenomena." I agree. nytimes.com/2021/08/17/opi…
On inequity: "There are those who would place responsibility on the poor, since they have many children. As usual, it would seem that everything is the fault of the poor. Yet the reality is that a low, richer percentage of the planet contaminates more than the poorest 50%." 🔥🔥
On denial within the church: "I feel obliged to make these clarifications, which may appear obvious, because of certain dismissive and scarcely reasonable opinions that I encounter, even within the Catholic Church." 🔥🔥🔥🔥
And finally, "To the powerful, I can only repeat this question: “What would induce anyone, at this stage, to hold on to power, only to be remembered for their inability to take action when it was urgent and necessary to do so?"
Wait wut?
Who do you think would do a better job responding to a national crisis: Joe Biden or Donald Trump? Trump 52% (+10) Biden 42% .@QuinnipiacPoll, 1,910 Adults, 9/7-11 poll.qu.edu/poll-release?r…
Fun fact: Every government shutdown in the last 30 years occurred when Republicans had control of the House of Representatives. Last time it happened, it drove people to food pantries and forced an $8b hit to the economy. They treat people missing paychecks like it’s no big deal
Can we *please* recognize that greenhouse gases come from: - producing and burning fossil fuels (about 66%) - agriculture and land use (about 22%) - and other industrial emissions (e.g., cement, refrigerants) (about 12%) It’s not fossil fuels alone.
Wake up sheeple!!! Commuting by car is part of a big government and big auto conspiracy to rob you of your freedoms. 🚗 Do not consent! 💪 Take back your freedoms and bike or ride public transit. 🚲 🚊 🚇 🚌
One more lane oughta fix it.
Janitors are being asked to stand up to gunmen because GOP lawmakers won’t stand up to the gun industry.
The janitor(s) at UNC Chapel Hill shut/locked the classrooms and the building off from the intruder. The janitors put their lives at risk to do this. To save my son.
Anti-housing advocates often use the 'nobody wants this' line referring to apartments. They completely erase the humanity of all the people who live in apartments and want more built. They live in a bubble protected from the reality of diverse city life around them & otherise ppl
Every "but what about...?" argument against human-caused climate change is already covered by @skepticscience's handy list; so why won't it convince people? Because it's never been about science or facts. It's solution aversion so any excuse that justifies that position will do.
One consequence of Prop 13 is that there are CA homeowners living in structures worth <$200k, on top of land worth >$1M. They don't NEED home insurance. Their insurance policy is that they can still cash out on their land value after their home burns down.

Tennessee House subcommittee members had state troopers physically remove gun safety activists who quietly held signs from a hearing. We bow down to this woman who - visibly shaking - said: “You will have to drag me out.” Moms will win.
“It’s an example of how there is now so much going on that it is difficult even to digest it all. There’s just too much. It’s everything everywhere all at once when it comes to extreme climate events this year.”
