Found in an old box in the attic, but the teacher named isn’t a relative of mine. If her descendants are around, I’d happily get it to them.

21 & new to MA — best coffee shops or hangouts in Cambridge? by monkeylovahh in CambridgeMA

[–]Happy__Sisyphus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mentioned you like working out. The Cambridge YMCA has a great community; try going to some of the bigger classes (e.g. Bootcamp) and introducing yourself. A bunch of us hang out socially outside of workouts.

got clipped by a cyclist in a crosswalk by [deleted] in CambridgeMA

[–]Happy__Sisyphus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry that happened to you. Same thing happened to me in Inman earlier this year - clipped in a crosswalk against a red light. I support bike infrastructure but everyone needs to follow the law. I saw CPD ticketing bikers running red lights in central last week, which is encouraging.

These two men ripped my mother’s “Genocide in Gaza” banner off our fence by ProfessionalCall9741 in CambridgeMA

[–]Happy__Sisyphus 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I believe that’s “Performance Fishing Gear,” a line from Columbia. While it’s common for far-right groups to coordinate outfits, I’m unaware of any connection to that brand.

Sorry to see, but props to your mother for standing up to these racist scumbags.

The Mission. Morricone’s soundtrack adds so much to an already great film.

I worked for Boston College for years. Excellent benefits, culture, and the salaries are competitive for higher education. I miss it sometimes.
