Every time I check her Spotify page, I'm astonished more people aren't listening to #PattyLarkin.

A #Boston #folk legend, she recently had a major accident at home that nearly left her paralyzed, and has been in rehab. She's back on her feet and touring again soon.

For me, #Larkin as a singer-songwriter is up there with #Dylan and #JoniMitchell. I suspect they'd admit she's a better #guitarist.

Never heard of her? Check out her 1997 masterpiece PERISHABLE FRUIT.

(Himmelsbach) But the indications I’ve gotten are that the Celtics are not considering trading Brogdon any more than they are considering trading any other player. His sour ending to last year aside, it is worth remembering Brogdon’s value to the Celtics last year. https://www.rawchili.com/3076630/

Hey all! I just wrapped up some contract work and could use help figuring out what is next. Categorically I have experience in land use (GIS, infrastructure, planning/zoning, horticulture—for example) but I am pivoting to air quality. City of Boston Properties Mgmt? In any case, I’d be happy to do some less relevant part-time work along the way—including remote. Please LMK if you have a lead!

Boston Children’s Hospital has appointments for Moderna boosters for kids (including under 5s), and they’re willing to give flu shots at the same visit.

I wish US cities had low-emission zones, like many European cities.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R63DdEe_8aM

Dense, carless cities connected by high speed rail with vast stretches of wilderness in between instead of sprawl (more national/state park/forest please!) is where I'd like to go. Build taller, denser; build for sound isolation; build for isolated, filtered, ventilated air. Save the planet while allowing population to grow

Last night, I took my teen to the #Massachusetts #IsForLovers music festival.

Now, we're covid-cautious people. My kid was just old enough to attend concerts when the pandemic hit, but we don't (normally) do crowded indoor spaces.

When #MAIsForLovers was announced at an OUTDOOR venue outside #Boston, it was perfect!!!

Her friends aren't into emo music, so I agreed to go with her. I don't follow the music myself, but it's okay, I'd been to my share of punk/alternative concerts in my day. 😂
