Yes we can afford to pay for important programs. We just need to make millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share for upkeep of our infrastructure.
Any law people in Massachusetts know what to do with fighting a fertility preservation company that destroys samples and charges customers for empty freezer spots? Looking for legal advice. #massachusetts#law#contracts#lgbtq#fertility#contractlaw
Mass. Man with Terminal Illness Wants to Find His Dog Best Friend a New Home Before His Death
He's on a mission to find Babs a new home before he enters hospice care. Fine told WJAR that he has no children and never married. His extended family can't take Babs in as she requires a home with no pets.
Moody St. bridge in #WalthamMA is currently shut down by police, can't drive or walk across it.
I spoke to an independent photojournalist on site (with First Arrival on Instagram), and he said someone was magnet fishing and found an old bomb
very old... like from some old war

"On Friday, the inauguration of the University of #Massachusetts Amherst’s 31st chancellor, Javier Reyes, faced numerous disruptions and walkouts by pro-Palestinian students and faculty calling for the university to cut ties with weapons contractors and drop academic discipline charges against 56 students and a faculty member arrested for a sit-in in October.
Home work on tags. Home of Martin Gibbons, 268 ? Centre Street, Roxbury Mass. James 11, years old; Helen 9 years and Mary 6, work on tags. Helen said she could tie the most (5,000 a day at 30 cents). Mary does some but can do only 1000 a day. They work nights a good deal. The night before Helen and James worked until 11:00 P.M. See also Home Work report. Location: Roxbury, Massachusetts.
@icedquinn for the vibe :neocat_floof_happy: nothing like catching a couple brookies with a brew in my hand. If I did catch a brooky and it was legal length, I would highly consider eating it because they do taste rlly good. Better than salmon imo.
Family of Mrs. Donovan, 293 1/2 Highland Street, Roxbury, Mass., tying tags for Dennison Co. This is the family that has worked on tags for 7 years and makes an average from that work $30 a month.

They often have to work late at night to get done. See Home Work report. Location: Roxbury, Massachusetts.
#Students have launched #protests and #encampments at more than a dozen schools across the country, from #Massachusetts to #Michigan to #California. They are calling for an end both to the #Israel-#Hamas war and their universities' investment in companies that profit from it or, more broadly, do business with Israel. #US
#Germany has said it will restore cooperation and funding to #Unrwa operations in the #GazaStrip after an independent review said #Israel had not provided evidence to back up claims that hundreds of employees of the #UN agency for Palestinians were members of terrorist organisations.
#Massachusetts, I’m irritated by the new e-bike rebate thing, because it has goofy income ceilings. 400% of federal poverty level (~$60k for single) is not actually that fucking much money in much of this expensive ass state, especially the parts in which cycle transport makes the most sense — Boston area, CT River valley, P-town, etc. $60k doesn’t let you rent a 1br apartment in some of those places. #BikeTooter
Yes, it’s a crummy picture. Blame the photographer (me) and the weather, but this is Emily Dickinson’s house in #Amherst#Massachusetts and Dickinson wrote her #poems behind that window at the upper left.
@msokolov I had that in the second paragraph. 😀 The fact that the Satanic Temple had been fail-fire-bombed by itself wasn't news - it was reported fairly widely the day it happened. Yesterday's news was that the feds arrested somebody.
@streetsblogmass It will be interesting to see the list of eligible bikes and what retailers end up participating. The Cape Cod rebate program still restricts its program to Class 1 bikes, and there are only 7 shops participating (three are in Provincetown). I’m wondering if there’s any data yet on the income distribution of the vouchers…
