"78% of Massachusetts voters support “allowing homes to be built on smaller lots,” and 72% support allowing the subdivision of large lots into smaller lots."

Great news for my kids: they get to stay up past bedtime waiting for my train

This was not an ideal situation but our crew did a great job dealing with this! Still better than driving into Boston imo

We have power again! The remainder of our harrowing journey (whenever it resumes) will be air conditioned!

Staring wistfully at the trains that are able to pass us on the tracks six feet to our left

The wire is on top of my train? Seems bad!

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" ok well I asked Gandalf and he said he has not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm

There were so many people out in Norwood, MA that I started crying. It felt incredible to be included in the crowd!

yeah, I’m a NIMBY: Not In My Bone Yard

A master class in hyping upzoning! I love this 😍

Going to go out and yell at the robins at 4am: “She’s not into you! Get the hint! If she were, you’d already be nesting! Shut up!!”

Giant puddle in front of a brand new door

And this is the status of the new office

I knew deep in my soul that I should have worked from home today, but I wanted to check out our new office and now that I’m trying to get home the commuter rail is running at least an hour behind
