Without a deal, Baker said, "What we're likely to see is something like 15% of programs would actually close their doors. Over a quarter would start laying off staff. About half would reduce staff compensation. Over 60% said they would raise tuition." on.necn.com/0QZFGHC

Our electric bill account balance makes me feel slightly better about having to turn the ac on today. Been wondering when we'd go past -$2000! 🌞🌞🌞⚡⚡⚡ We'll be getting efficient heat pumps in the future, so @revisionsolar helped us build extra solar capacity.

The Concord River Greenway bridges are open! The work is complete & the construction fences have been taken down. It's been a long-time coming, but you can finally walk across the bridges & all the way to Jollene Dubner Park. 🎉 Look for a formal ribbon-cutting in the spring!

Seeing a lot of moms ranting about how video games are making their kids act shitty, and here's the thing:
All games (video and otherwise) give you an important platform to teach your children how to lose and how to communicate when they're frustrated.
Be a goddamn parent.

Fare-free transit:
➡️Works
➡️Is possible
Today I took the 41 bus from Lawrence to Lowell. In Lawrence, the piloted fare-free bus lines directly impact a community where 87% of riders earn less than $20,000 per year. #TransitForAll

I was 14 y/o w/ a tibial stress fracture, left alone w/ no cervical spine exam after this fall. I competed in the Olympic floor final minutes later. @Simone_Biles 🤍 decision demonstrates that we have a say in our own health—“a say” I NEVER felt I had as an Olympian.
