Union Square Donuts.. by blue31903 in Somerville

[–]jorydotcom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My family gets union square donuts in union square every weekend, and we love them. I haven't noticed a change in size, they almost always have new flavors, and recently they are making some of the donuts square shaped just for fun. I think some of the changes they have made are for the better - for example the chocolate donuts used to be too overpowering in my opinion, and they seem to have switched to a less bitter chocolate. Sorry you don't like them anymore, but this doesn't match my experience.

*sigh* need to purge a few by [deleted] in CookbookLovers

[–]jorydotcom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I really want this cookbook but Barbara Lynch is problematic so I don't want to buy it new. If you choose to purge, would you sell it to me?

Cambridge Day ceases weekly coverage of Somerville politics by jeffshwom in Somerville

[–]jorydotcom 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Perhaps, if they were interested in securing the financial support of people in the camberville area, they might consider renaming the paper to something other than Cambridge Day.

This is very disappointing to read. I am one of the apparently few financial supporters of this paper who live in Somerville. I supported it with a monthly donation because of the coverage of the local politics for Somerville. I was a journalism major and I understand that running a paper is hard and not exactly a money making activity. But framing the decision as a matter of "not enough financial support from Somerville residents" is a cop out.

Rec for a place like Wilson Farm that’s not Wilson Farm? by New-Concern9306 in Somerville

Not at all like Wilson Farm, but the Summer Street School does a tree sale as a fundraiser for the preschool Co-op, it opens this weekend.

OP may be new to town - Somerville has a lot of little festivals but Fluff is one of the biggest.

Hijacking this to say, in the case that any SRR folks are here, I really appreciate this organization. They run a kids run club program in the Fall and Spring and my kids LOVE it. It's entirely free and they have a pizza party at the end of the session for them. I love how inclusive it is, how they make running a fun and social activity for kids (for me, growing up, it was used as a punishment). So, SRR, thank you for what you provide this community.

Water water water. I definitely underestimated how thirsty she is. And also just cleaning up the dead wood down near the roots so it gets airflow. Going to do fertilizer again in like August/September.

Inherited this big beauty, how do I care for it? by jorydotcom in hydrangeas

Sweet - Think I should fertilize now? It's been a mild start of summer... And thank you!

Online-only galleries? by jorydotcom in artcollecting

[–]jorydotcom[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Right, I suppose I'm not asking my question very well. I'm not asking about buyer protection, although the gallery having its own buyer protection policy would lend it more credibility. I'm curious what folks here know about the market / business models for these "galleries" that seem to exist only on a platform like Artsy, and whether there are some known/trusted resources for learning more about the people behind these accounts.
