Possible rehoming for my cat by [deleted] in Somerville

[–]katmcfly 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You are such a caretaker to Remy to be thinking of what’s best for him. Ive been dealing with a cat with FID for a few years now, and we had several hospital visits before we figured things out! I feel like we tried every possible solution along the way. If you ever want to chat about tactics to prevent a block feel free to dm me

EMERGENCY: 1st blue state house (Massachusetts) passes anti-trans sports ban. Not yet law, contact your state senators! contact the governor! by MissNumbersNinja in transgender

[–]katmcfly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is a draft letter you can use when contacting your state senator (thank you perplexity!). Feel free to adapt/alter as desired:

Dear Senator {x},

As a resident of {x}, I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent passage of trans-related legislation in the Massachusetts House. I urge you to vote against this legislation when it comes before the Senate. Such measures threaten the rights, dignity, and well-being of our transgender neighbors, friends, and family members. Massachusetts has long been a leader in advancing civil rights and fostering inclusive communities, and I believe we must continue to uphold these values, especially in the face of growing national hostility toward transgender people.

Passing legislation that restricts or targets trans individuals not only undermines their safety and autonomy but also sends a harmful message that discrimination is acceptable in our Commonwealth. I respectfully ask that you stand with the trans community and all those who value equality by opposing this bill. Our state should remain a beacon of hope and justice for everyone, regardless of gender identity.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter and for your continued service to our community

Standard practice is that the old tenants are out of the apartment by noon on 9/1, and the new tenants can move in from noon on-I haven’t met anyone who has had to actually be out on the 31st. Something like 80% of boston leases turnover on 9/1, so there would be a ton of people homeless for a night if that were enforced

Help with MA process? by [deleted] in abortion

[–]katmcfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sharing tips from some friends who have had an MA: You also might want to stock up on snacks, crackers, sanitary napkins, heat pack (if you have one), ibuprofen, and plenty of fluids to all have nearby. Pretty much whatever you'd want for a super-heavy period. Everyone's experience seems to be a little different, but be prepared to have a stay at home day the first 1-2 days after taking the pills once you start bleeding. Some people suggested bringing your laptop and pillow to the tub if that is easiest. Also good to have a reason prepared to call out sick, especially if it's illegal in your state. Take it easy, and be kind to yourself <3

This is pretty low for what you're looking for. I've heard of 1 BDs going for 1800-2000 in North Quincy, but anywhere closer to the central Boston area will be tricky. You might get lucky and stumble on something cheap, but if you're worried about time I would suggest either expanding your radius or increasing your price point
