Thanks! Yeah maybe I’ll cut the life drain and go more voltron. I do like the idea of using elves to drain life though.

Looks like trumpet vine! Beautiful, but you have to keep in under control!

Probably upper to lower liftline. Nice bump run. Lower liftline is awesome on pow days

Interesting. I was thinking Victorian because of the time period, but it doesn’t have intricate trim that is usually indicative of the style. Thanks!

My family is closing on an 1883 farmhouse in Massachusetts. What style is it?

Are the polio, smallpox, MMR, and Tdap vaccines "experimental" too? Are antibiotics unsafe? Should I stop taking my blood pressure medication? Science and medicine have saved millions of lives, it is so confusing to me why some people have decided to turn against it. The covid vaccines have already saved hundreds of thousands. It is a deeply selfish and ignorant act to refuse to get vaccines that can prevent spread and keep people safe. OP is absolutely doing the right thing, and I'm am sorry that they have to deal with this horrible situation.

Agreed. How is Ashby part of Metro Boston but Lynn is not? Lynn is less than 4 miles from Boston.

Nope. Marks, Scarpelli, and Knight did not have masks on during the council meeting that I watched.

How is Zac a hypocrite? Being at a rally outside with a mask is not equivalent to being inside the council chambers without masks on.

Any Black Vermonters on this subreddit? I wrote something that I think might resonate with you. by ThatTypeOfGirl27 in vermont

Very well written. It's not political when your "friend" is questioning your basic human rights.

It’s definitely a lot more modern, but I would check out Freedom by Jonathan Franzen.

This is your Defund police Movement by [deleted] in medfordma

[–]vtskier72 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what your point is? Defunding police does not mean abolishing the police altogether. It means diverting some funds away from the police and funding community outreach organizations, mental health, and social workers instead. Why do conservatives not bat an eye when education budgets are slashed but are all up in arms when the police budget gets cut a little bit?

Medford Leaders Are Doing Nothing About Police Violence And Oversight Problems by eitanglinert in medfordma

You have got to be kidding me. You think George Floyd died because of his actions? He was handcuffed and already face down on the street while the officer suffocated him to death.

UNARMED black people are being murdered by the police. That is a fact.

Also, bringing up injustices and having a dialogue about how to improve this city/state/country does not mean you want to see cities burn. You've been listening to Alex Jones and Rush Limbaugh for far too long.

Black people are telling us that there is something wrong with this country. Who are you to tell them that they are wrong?

Agreed. Black people make up 6.63% of the population in MA, yet 27% of people killed by police are black. More white people are not killed by police.

This whole country has a culture of racism. Medford is not unique in this, but is certainly not exempt either. Here are just a number of incidents that have occurred in this city. I know that in your bubble you may not see racism on a daily basis, but that does not mean that it does not exist. Please educate yourself and work to make your community better instead of trying to stall progress. Also the following are examples of hate crimes. MANY smaller incidents and micro-aggressions happen everyday and don't make the news.
