What the hell is going on at Nubian square? I’m curious to see what will happen with the bus driver who has refused to enter the intersection with blocked traffic, but more annoyed that I’m going to miss a mtg. We’ve been stopped at the same intersection for almost 10 minutes. Trapped

Anyhow… #Boston #music fans, as much and I’m pretty much constantly grieving and otherwise serious these days, I also need to hear some music in the company of friends. What are you looking forward to this year? I hope to see 1-2 of these artists perform

• Ben Howard
• Fitz and the Tantrums
• Janet Jackson
• Olivia Rodrigo

What do you think? Venues to avoid?

At some point maybe not this year, I want to check out the Newport Folk Festival, too.

Anyone here use #Inkscape?
I’m no longer able to see objects (for the sake of moving them backward-fwd/down-up) in the Layers and Objects panel. Is this a toggle/options issue or something you also have?

Since #Etsy has been so trash lately, I want to ask if any of you know about someone outside of there making great printed shirts. Designed front and back would be great.

Particular themes/topics of interest to me:

• climate
• LGBTQ+ joy / rights

God knows that I don’t need more clothing, but I do want to make some important noise.

Let me know if you have a lead!

How do you go about #scheduling meetings with people? Do you have a satisfying system for balancing rest and work? 📆
I’d like to have a link in my email signature to where people can go. It would be great to require at least __ days notice of a mtg request, too.

I’ve been wondering about a phrase that involves a duck and relates to letting someone do things their way. (Esp. in the kitchen?)

@wayword @wayword perhaps you know what I’m talking about. Or could you share my question?

Do you use a PC operating system aside from MacOS or Windows? I wonder if I should move away from the latter before they force users to pay even more cash and/or always be connected to the web.

When will #Firefox add the feature that lets you easily get the definition of a word? Double-click would be awesome. Even right-click --> definition would be a huge improvement over what we have now. @firefox

What’s the term for when people intentionally and technically follow a rule, in such a way that protests the role itself? ______ compliance, I think, but I can’t recall the first word

Housemate got a tornado warning on phone. They didn’t think much of it, still doesn’t. I didn’t receive one despite having a tropical storm watch alert. HOW?

My midwest self is concerned and confused. We ALWAYS took shelter in our basement b/c tornado warnings are MUCH different from watches—as in the is one nearby that could possibly go by.

S/o to some of our local #Boston media teams. GBH News and WBUR have been writing important pieces lately. We have other papers that are even more local, or cover different people, too. Keep up the good work ✏️

I wonder if any of you can recommend great picture books for the #Spanish learner? I realized this could be really helpful as I learn to think in Spanish rather than translate from my native tongue. Graphic novels?

The Fed says life is too good for people who work right now, so we need to make things harder. Amazing

If you appreciate your calendar app, what is it?

Of course I’m happy to pay a bit, since great tools are a lot of work to build and maintain, so, no need to be “free”.

Features I’m wanting:

• recurring tasks
• ability to have multiple calendars that can be toggled on/off
• due dates that can be checked off
• notes would be great as a distinct feature, visually different

I never heard of Capital One growing up. Do most businesses accept this type of credit card? What’s your experience?

“The intent to destroy a group is often seen as the most difficult element of genocide to prove and is often the distinction between a brutal war and a campaign of genocide. South Africa’s [case] submission shows how the genocidal rhetoric that has accompanied Israel’s campaign in Gaza has been overt and omnipresent from the outset. The running database of Israeli statements of genocidal intent and incitement compiled by the legal group Law for Palestine has now passed FIVE HUNDRED entries.”

If you've been studying #Spanish or find yourself fairly fluent at this point, how did you go about learning verb conjugations? Due to my aphantasia the "memory palace" route doesn't seem like a fruitful one for me

nerds,
do you have a favorite podcast or like a TikTok account? I’m struggling to stay motivated with language learning. In part, the arbitrariness of language can stop me in my tracks. I think having an interesting resource like @wayword @wayword can help. Mattiewex makes some fun ⏰ content. I’ll have to more intentionally/regularly tune in to both of these. Taking suggestions, tho, too. I had been doing ASL. Planning a switch back to Spanish…

This is wild. It really does seem like Biden supporters, the “four more years” people, have on blinders.

We have witnessed a horrific genocide at the hands of America—SEEN it with our own eyes. Today, the NYT reported that a coalition of more than 1,000 Black pastors representing “hundreds of thousands of congregants” has demanded that Washington stop carpet bombing Gaza.

Best bagel in greater #Boston? 🥯

Like, comparable to what you’d find in #NYC please.

I’m looking for a friend who is pretty new to the area and misses them.

Ignoring the label, does anyone know what this type of #packaging is? This style of #container?

I’m sure they’ve been around for decades at least, but I’m borderline obsessed and want to know where I can find more 😂

Anybody use Nextdoor to connect with neighbors, organize events…?

I want to build more community but haven’t been on FB in quite a while. Apparently there’s a ND invite sitting in my inbox. I’ve heard it can be problematic, but then it’s also just a tool, depends on how we use it?

OO, I haven’t had this kind of #tea in a LONG time :)

Thankfully it seems to be good despite the time spent on my shelf. (Have to let it cool dwn before I actually take a sip.)

Hope you’re all finding ways to connect and rest this fall 🍂
