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?

CNN on the torture camp Israel has been operating since at least October:

If you know your history then you know that home theft and the otherwise cruel behavior of Israel’s government has been going on for many years now.

No, they don’t “have a right to defend themselves”.

And let’s remember that European gov’t’s and my country are very culpable for the violence of Israel. Fck war profiteers

Protesters block private jets at Hanscom Airfield - The Lexington Observer

Thank you to everyone that is addressing the reality we’re increasingly faced with - a system that destroys our future. The #climate crisis is here. We have to stop the insanity of believing in trickle-down economics and imagine with open-mindedness a different way of doing things

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 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?

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

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 😂

Creators on Nebula? I’d love to hear more about how Black creators and users have experienced this platform, since it seems fairly yt in my browsing so far.

#design #interiorDesign friends, do you have a favorite wood or wood stain?

I wonder what is most versatile design-wise. For some reason lighter woods like birch and pine can feel as if they belong in a kids room, but not always..?

Would love to hear your thoughts. I’m planning to reupholster this Varier variable Balans chair and figure I might as well consider a different stain while I’m at it. Lol the background…

Okay #MAPoli we have an election coming up!

A decent starting pt for info seems to be Ballotpedia (https://ballotpedia.org/Massachusetts_elections,_2024)

Several municipal positions are up this year. Filing deadline April 30.

Brandon James Griffin and Shiva Ayyadurai are challenging Warren for a seat in the U.S. Senate.

We need to ditch Stephen Lynch for sure—so if you live in District 8, see what you can do! Pls confront every incumbent b/c Washington is sick, and the closer you get they more slippery they tend to be.

CW: allusion to violence

---

My grandma was a kind, strong-willed woman. I miss her.

How she remembers a moment as a young person at home, faced with her father's raised hand: I looked straight at him and said, "If you touch me, I will move out and never come back!" My mother who was ironing in the kitchen below said, "Archie, don't! She means it!" He dropped his hand and that ended that.

Here's to reminding people that there's shit we will not tolerate.

Hard to believe dealerships think they can essentially punish us for taking an #EV rebate. They get the same money. And it looks like they’ve just increased the price of cars so the rebate is essentially worth less than it would have been. SEVEN percent interest on top of sales tax and everything? 😂

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.

Cycling is ten times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities

https://theconversation.com/cycling-is-ten-times-more-important-than-electric-cars-for-reaching-net-zero-cities-157163

While the particular details of this article might be different today (a couple years later), the content is incredibly relevant. Our cities need to push harder to reduce motor vehicle lanes/parking, make buses even more reliable, improve safety for people biking and walking…
