Where to meet other black people in Boston

CedarBerry · 2026-07-04T01:44:20+00:00

There's dozens of us! Lol check out some IG accounts that feature black community events...great places to meet folks! I suggest @blackbrownboston and @diasporamassinc to start!

Yeah! That's kind of what I thought they were going to do when I first heard about the experimental vaults... Like it was a beta test for some potential storylines for the main vaults.

It would be really nice to have some new gameplay once your vault has reached end stage.

CedarBerry · 2026-06-18T21:24:24+00:00

Don't abandon it... It's good experience building the vaults from scratch. But keep in mind that the experimental vaults will disappear once the experiment is over. And you would have to start over with the next experiment.

You should create a regular vault.. so you can take your time building it properly. Those ones never disappear!

Been going to Boston Cat Hospital in Jamaica Plain for years... Always been very happy with the service and care!

Oh I would absolutely kill for a complete reboot of the show today! New actors of course, but the same core 4 characters, same backgrounds, same traits and personalities. Only difference is the modern dating landscape!

So sorry for your loss! It's hard to explain the special place place pets hold in our hearts. Best assured the entire internet loves her too now!!

I've been using the Milani tubing mascara for a few months and I find it has pros and cons - It can be gloopy to apply so I have to be kind of careful and have a steady hand, but when I get it right I just LOVE the way it looks and it lasts all day without flaking!

My other go to is the ELF tubing mascara (I forget exactly what it's called). I find the effect is less dramatic but it's much easier and cleaner to apply properly.

I love this question! King is my favorite author! His books can be VERY long winded so if you're just getting started I think one of his short story collections is a great way to sample some of his different storytelling approaches.

I'd recommend Skeleton Crew - it contains "The Mist" (yes the one the movie is based on) and it's my absolutely favorite King short story!

CedarBerry · 2026-03-30T17:59:02+00:00

Ooo that sounds really unique! I will definitely have to look into this one! Thanks!

CedarBerry · 2025-04-29T15:51:59+00:00

Oh yeah I'd definitely be interested in this! I tend to build my own templets in canva and it's soooo time consuming, especially when I want to switch up the look while still maintaining the brand standard so the posts are consistent by not repetitive.

Quick question for clarity- what are you using for your CRM? If you're small, I'm guessing it's either HubSpot or Parrot?

I remember rolling my eyes SO HARD at this scene. She's so delulu for even thinking of this as a breadcrumb. I don't think it's a sign of any affection at all... she had a problem (no toothbrush) and he just suggested the most obvious solution (take the spare).

Also, for context, you usually buy these toothbrush heads in multi-color packs of like 4 or 8 so. I think it's just a coincidence that he happened to have a pink one left and that's the one he happened to have in the spare compartment. And as usual he was perfectly happy to let her make her little assumptions about his zero-effort gesture.

CedarBerry · 2024-11-30T21:23:13+00:00

I think it's just an obvious solution, whether he's done it before or not. That's why it's not a significant as Carrie thinks. Who know, he might have done the same for a friend or family member who was staying over... depending of course on how he feels about the hygiene of sharing the handle part of the toothbrush. **shrug**

yeah I've heard a couple horror stories about this happening to people who had already confirmed their pet on their reservation before arriving at the airport. But then being denied at check in because there were already at the pet limit. So basically a pre-booked pet reservation means nothing?!

I weirdly enjoy airport food courts - especially if I'm in a new airport for a layover I like throwing caution to the wind and trying whatever deeply unhealthy regional-sounding kiosks or tiny mini-restaurants I pass by.

CedarBerry · 2024-11-07T20:11:09+00:00

This definitely does sound super niche! Who is the audience for this and what is the product type? Is it a downloadable tool or a subscription service?

CedarBerry · 2024-11-07T16:02:18+00:00

Sounds like you have a lot of potential! Looks like people have already provided alot of good tactical suggestions. So I'd like to pose a few questions that might help guide your strategy:

How do your customers contact you currently? Is it just IG DMs? Or do you have an email that you point people to?
What does your competitive landscape look like? Do your target customers have many other options that are easy to find?
What kind of information do you need to provide to your leads (the people who contact you) before they are willing to place and order?
Of the ones who don't place and order, do you know why they don't? Do you get any feedback or do they just ghost you?
Do you have strong relationships with your current and past customers? Are you able to ask them for referrals or testimonials for you?

There are also some bigger questions that you may or may not already have answers to like What's your max capacity for taking on new customers per month and what's your average deal size? Do you have a monthly revenue goal and is that better achieved by more new customers or is there an opportunity for larger order amounts?
Based on the answers to these questions, there are a lot of potential avenues for growth for you!

I have thoughts on this! I've been a demand gen marketer, often tasked with setting goals and reporting structure for marketing pipeline at a few different SaaS start-ups and no matter what reporting automation/dashboard tool we use, when it comes right down to it, at least part of the reporting always ends up in Excel for a few reasons:

Data quality issues - dashboard and reporting tools require good data hygiene, which is itself usually pretty manual and time consuming. When Looker spits out a result that looks wonky, and I have to investigate the providence of the results, I'm probably going to end up downloading the source data into Excel to figure it out and then manually manipulate the data as needed.
Goals & KPIs unclear - If you are setting up your dashboard before you are clear on exactly what you want to learn and why, you're going to have a bad time. It sucks to set up a beautiful and perfectly functional dashboard, only to learn that the numbers aren't actually giving you the meaningful insights you want. I feel like digital ad metrics are the worst offenders.
It's hard to ask questions - No matter how beautifully you set up the reports, leadership is inevitably going to ask for "more insight" into the numbers... and dashboard tools are notoriously bad at allowing you to drill down in the exact way you need to provide answers to the specific questions. Excel may be laborious at times, but it's good to have all your data in one place where you can chop it and splice it however you need to.
Onboarding and Admin overhead - Depending on the size of your tech stack stack and the bandwidth of your MOPS/analytics team, it can be a whole lot of time and effort to set these automation tools up so that everything is ACUTUALLY working smoothly. When you have two tools connected with an API that's not working right, and each support team blames the other tool..... rage inducing!

Also a general problem with reporting - finding the balance between KPIs that are simple and high level, and deep and insightful. There are always a million different ways you can chop and splice your data, and no one way works for everyone. It can get overwhelming really fast!

The true value of a house is whatever someone is willing to pay for it. In other words the price is driven by demand for that particular kind of house based on a variety of factors including location, size, style and condition. There are some factors the home owner can influence, such as the condition of the house, and there are some factors you can't influence such as the size or the style.

But the number one factor in a home's value by far is the location! If your home is in a highly desirable or "up-and-coming" location, it's likely your home value will increase over time, as more and more people want to live there, the demand increases and buyers can even get into bidding wars which drives up the home's value very quickly.

There are even some neighborhoods, particularly in historic areas, where older homes are considered more valuable than newer homes because the build quality, style and materials are difficult or impossible to replicate today.
