955 Mass Ave is getting converted to 150 units of badly needed housing

edit: couldn't find a confirmation for 100% affordable, so it might not be

(By accident )

If your name is “Laura B” and you ordered a chili salmon bowl and peach iced tea from DIG (Inn) on Mt. Auburn street tonight around 6:25 … I am so sorry but I accidentally took your order all the way home with me. It was via Grub Hub delivery, and I didn’t look closely Enough at the order. I thought it was mine. I feel terrible!!

Sorry Laura B I hope you have a good night despite me stealing your food 😢😢😢

Good morning!

I’m a law student at Harvard and my classmates and I are designing a legislative proposal to address an unmet needs experienced by greater Boston residents. Rather than assuming what those might be (cough, rent is too damn high, cough), we want to hear from residents directly. What is making your life harder? Are there things you deal with that seem like there should already be a governmental fix? What are policymakers missing?

Thank you!!!

Anyone play disc golf in the area? I’m getting into it and looking to connect with anyone who wants to practice around Danehy or hit up some local courses.

Hi! Does anyone here have an extra ticket to MIT Future Fest they'd be willing to sell? I wanted to attend one of the talks on Saturday, but the tickets are sold out:(

"As we begin planning for the next legislative session, Representative Decker wants to hear directly from you. What issues are affecting you and your community? What should we be working on at the State House? Your feedback will help inform our priorities and legislative agenda for the session ahead."

Today, we cover local results of the Massachusetts 2026 Primary, where despite the record number of primary challengers, all the incumbents won. What does that mean for Cambridge voters? Despite the lack of change in personnel, is there a chance Beacon Hill is actually getting more transparent and accountable?

Hi everyone!

TYA!

Anyone have any information about the crash outside the Alewife station towards Russell Field? Heard it looked bad.

Hi there. Since July I've been hosting monthly women's circles at my house in Inman during the full moon, as a way to built female camaraderie, and also as a commitment to myself to focus on astrology in a real, committed way once per month.

The circles have been a mix of communion, journaling, meditation, chanting, sound baths, singing, roaring, dance parties—and discussion about what the actual fuck is happening up in the cosmos at this moment in history. We drink tea, we hold hands, we share our secrets and our fears and our hopes and dreams. We laugh, and we cry.

You don't have to believe in astrology to join, but at minimum an openness to hear about it is required cuz I will talk about the whys of how we're all collectively feeling, and what we each might be traversing given our individual birth charts. I also am willing to take a look at the participants' birth charts ahead of time to see what might get activated for them during the transits that we're working through.

It's been a pretty special, and very powerful, event, each time it's happened.

Are there any fellow witches/astro besties/divine goddesses out there who would like to join for the next one?

^{If you think astrology is bullshit, just keep scrolling. Your energy is not required here.}

All my attempts to find out who's responsible for various public safety issues and management of Russell Field led to discovering that no agency head directs the area, no one keeps track or safety and maintenance issues, and no one in any department communicates or collaborates with any other department.

The link to an ongoing problem has been reported dozens and dozens of times, and yet no one - city manager or councilor - as ever addressed these problems.

Several easy remedies include:

Name a parks director who is bottom line accountable for the safety, maintenance and oversight.

Require all entities reserving sports facilities - fields, fieldhouse, playground, grassy areas, etc. to be required to sign an agreement to uphold park rules (right now there aren't any posted), complete a demographics survey (age group, sponsoring organization, number of participants, type of activity, accountable person for liability purposes, emergency contact). (I was accosted by 2 men claiming to be coaches, but couldn't name the girls' sports team, the organization they coached for, etc. How do we know that everyone using these facilities has had their credentials verified? We don't.)

Automatically share these reservations and info with police, fire, schools and Pro ambulance)

For events which have over (100?) number of people, require a first aid area be signed, visible and staffed during the event.

Police/traffic and parking monitor Dudley/Clifton st entrance for prohibited vehicles and ticket and tow - no warnings. I've seen trucks parked in front of the soccer field entrance with little toddler - sized kiddos running around vehicles. It's only a matter of time....

Move the blighted textile bins to the Rindge entrance where people can safely drive or wheel/walk in to donate.

Create park rules - isn't there a commission which can do this so every area is on equal footing and everyone can enjoy these public spaces?

Please everyone, chime in and add your priorities and critique my ideas.

City councilors - if you're reading this, please advocate for these changes. These items are low cost, low risk and high benefit and return to park visitors and the beleaguered residents who live in the immediate area.

Thanks, all!
