Exhausted from sustained jaw tension and platitudes

Authorities assure residents it’s only symbolic sewage.

White Rabbit, Red Tape

Last night, I followed one into a civic warren.

Community Center:
4 appointees, 2 staff, 1 councilor, 1 mayor.
Topic: 1-year eviction delay for sales of Newburyport’s 79 4+ unit rental apartment buildings.
The maze isn’t impassable.

Have you ever watched a city councilor change before your eyes? They speak. They listen. They engage. Then 11 gather…and the fog rolls in. See Substack for more.

Remember in November

Dirt as Trojan horse. Tracking dirt, tracking you. At Crow Lane, free Agresoil contains PFAS, heavy metals, sewage. City warns with QR code: Don’t scan, don’t know. Scan, get tracked. Info buried in signage and future verbs. Soil isn’t just free. It’s a surveillance tool.
