Greater Boston friends using Freecycle - let's connect! (Send a DM if you want.) It would be great to borrow and lend things, give stuff away, instead of giving our cash to billionaires. I can let you know my Freecycle username. Not 100 sure about sharing it in this open post, but happy to pass along to a mutual. And we can always meet up in public spots if that is more comfortable than home. Let's go!

Apparently Diablo Glass School has shuttered. (Their website doesn’t work anymore.)
Greater Boston friends, I wonder which towns and cities are taking the climate crisis seriously. Your thought(s)? We have seen more extreme weather already, and well before this we knew that burning fossil gas would make our atmosphere warmer, less stable, so I hope we're seeing real momentum in the way of adaptation and mitigation. Who among us is listening to indigenous voices?

“In this moment, instead of the binaries offered to us, we believe we need a range of motion. That range of motion—that movement that breaks a binary—can also help us rethink it. Instead of going harder, locking in, ramping up our righteousness, we need to explore the uncertainty, the not-knowing. The thirdness. The weird, the poetic, the perverse, the liminal.”
#greaterBoston folks, ds4si is set to start another semester of free courses!
ds4siExpanding Our Range of Motion — ds4siIn this moment when so many of us are stiff with fear, rigid with rage, and locked into our positions, we at DS4SI suggest considering something counterintuitive.

New to the thread? I take a look at different events calendars for things going on in #NewEngland and compile the highlights. This is my little 'community building' project, because we should have nice things here.
My focus is primarily on things close to home for me - #SomervilleMA primarily and the #greaterBoston region too - but if I know about something big going in #Vermont or #Maine, I'll let you know about it. Suggestions and recommendations are welcome! Follow me or the BostonWeekend tag to keep this in your feed every week. I hope this helps to encourage you to get out and recharge so you're well prepared for whatever comes next week.
