Tech YouTuber @mattferrell with 1.19M subscribers is officially on Mastodon. Great to see verification in action! Welcome!
The corniest yet absolute best part of therapy is being congratulated on accomplishing even the most basic of tasks
perceived chances of landing an aftercare slot shouldn't resemble chances of hitting Powerball
Unsolicited branding advice, school systems: Stop referring to school assignments and aftercare as “lotteries.”
The feeling of leaving the answer to where my kid will be while I’m at work to something that I associate with like 1:615,846,900 odds is not a great vibe.
in the style of pets referred to as 'furbabies,' propose that our feral children are really 'upright puppies'

21k individuals and families on CHA's Can't Wait List waiting for housing. Securely housed people wringing their hands over a 12 story building are just gross people

Target promoting “bike up to the drive up” in a Facebook ad. But don’t read the comments. #BikeMonth

NEW DATA: In March, @StateDept
issued 1 million+ non-immigrant visas – the highest in 10 yrs.
The Biden admin also resettled more than 6,000 refugees that month, the highest in 6 yrs.
The admin's attempts to rebuild legal immigration are paying off. https://www.niskanencenter.org/in-march-refugee-admissions-and-visa-issuance-reached-their-six-and-ten-year-highs-respectively/

Very on brand of the Mayor to start Bike Month with a rally to support more car lanes on K Street aimed at a "better motorist experience."
Sunday night dinner at the pub, got our favorite table. We’re makin it work.

Big rally yesterday in Riverbend Park #CambridgeMA to protest #MassDCR anti-democratic choice to de-open #MemorialDr on Saturdays as it has been the entire pandemic
Hundreds of people gathered! A quorum of elected officials spoke. You can sign the petition here and call DCR on Monday at 617-626-1250 as well as Gov Healey
Ahh sweet, found and mount the shark fin, let’s go take advantage of our narrow recreation window in our local state park!
Anyway, all my kid wants to do today is go to “open streets,” and I’m still in the stage of solo parenting where I will do anything for her that she wants.
You are working against me in that effort, DCR, Gov Healey, Denise Simmons, and countless other powerful people.
1. Drivers are a protected class now, so Memorial Drive only open to people on Sundays
2. Today is Sunday, and it’s raining
3. Luckily I am privileged enough to have a cargobike with a rain tent
4. I cannot find that rain tent
