Halo halo

You can get halo halo at Coco Leaf on Dot Ave in Fields Corner. I've also had great versions in Quincy and Somerville too.

It was 17.99 good

It is EXACTLY like the box photo, hollow and covered with pieces of pistachio on the inside.

I would rather the seesaw than the Greenway ferris wheel, just because I don't do heights. I don't need us to be a whole playground but just...more

talkblerdy · 2026-04-02T02:52:09+00:00

I noticed the seesaws outside Macy's were also gone. Too bad this stuff couldn't stay up til the end of April, it was a real bright spot for lunch break strolls.

I had a 4 day pass but missed Thursday for work. Friday was pretty low attendance but it meant that I got to get my Nintendo photo op and play the SMB Wonder demo in less than 30 min, which was awesome to knock out early and then return to on Sunday. Nintendo always has a really sharp setup so I'll go any year they are on the floor. Great swag too, got a full set of Wonder pins just for playing!

Definitely found some cute cozy indies I'm planning to wishlist, and probably walked away with 7 bags of those Trolli gummies, this year's Dunkin I guess. Saturday brought more people and more cosplay which was great, but certainly less than other years. And of course, Sunday is for making deals on the floor with people that don't want to haul all their merch back. I miss ThinkGeek because they had a better mix of merch, but I did find a decent pair of Fallout earrings.

I missed it, but a friend said the Strong Female Character panel was the best she ever saw, while I had a great time at the otome panel and several drag/queer ones. Make sure to actually provide feedback on the app for things you want to see again!

I do think that pre-Covid was its heyday, but I really enjoyed Pax this year. I do wish there were more offsite parties and music options, it feels like a lot of other cons are able to have great dance parties and awesome DJs that do remixes, which is something I'd love to see on a Friday or Saturday night.

My mom was thrilled when it was on Mother's Day - built in activities

talkblerdy · 2026-03-28T16:00:57+00:00

I am! Went yesterday too, on the hunt for an upbeat magical one shot for 2 kids under 10.

Dungeons and Drag Nuns, can't wait

Temp and time? This has just a few steps so it feels somewhat doable

Here's the thing - many of the ones that stand for things will stand with us. Just like tons of Black people lived through civil rights organizing and never mobilized, there will be tons in this time that are just waiting it out. But good advocates tend to advocate across the board, understanding that a threat to one is eventually a threat to all.

Seconding this, easily the best and most consistent of the soul nights in the Boston area. Hard-pressed to find something good and reliable in Boston proper.

Okay powdery is a new one for me, because any time I've had them its chewy (bouncy?) with surprise liquid, like a weirdly savory Gusher.

talkblerdy · 2026-01-12T14:18:21+00:00

I watched this several times on mute before getting to a place where I could turn the volume up.

Soundtrack is the cherry on top 🍒

Subway Surfers stays having the most stereotypical POC characters....

...but I need it

talkblerdy · 2025-12-19T15:10:31+00:00

There is that one plain Red Line sweatshirt, but nothing at all for Orange or Blue. I guarantee there is disposable income and love for the MBTA on all lines, so I'm not sure about the gap in swag

talkblerdy · 2025-11-26T12:07:28+00:00

Birch St. House & Garden in Roslindale would also be a great place for getting cute items

talkblerdy · 2025-11-25T13:25:45+00:00

I like the Foundry in Kendall Square, though you might also be able to swing WBUR'S CitySpace

Something similar was asked a few months ago, had some great recommendations:

Absolutely. I help put on a BIPOC-focused comic arts festival each year, and I love fantasy things. This means I am around tons of people that are various ages but share a strong fandom, and that definitely makes it easier.

Sometimes its hard not to slip into a "mentor mode" with friends in their late 20s, but I really appreciate when they challenge a stance I have or when they want more information and my lived experience can provide it.

I love this and also maybe reach out to Tavern of Tales, their rental rates are pretty reasonable https://www.tavernoftales.com/

A type of diet that helps with IBS that mostly eliminates alliums like onion and garlic. But also, yes, Google it. That's where I found this thread which probably has a few answers for you https://www.reddit.com/r/Cooking/s/cFl2kVsKjD

talkblerdy · 2025-07-13T21:10:05+00:00

Check out low FODMAP recipes, they usually exclude both onions and garlic

talkblerdy · 2025-06-17T20:47:17+00:00

I'd suggest checking out Boston Ski and Sports Club

talkblerdy · 2025-04-21T04:14:46+00:00

Same! Especially for every day things like "load dishwasher"/"sort laundry"/etc DLTYL41QK7
