City Council Special Meeting this thursday, August 31. Only thing on the agenda so far is a 1.5 year lease for space at the Tufts Admin Building (TAB) on Holland St for $1,053,387, which would start Sept 1

This is at least in part office space relating to the Winter Hill School, and Parks and Rec staff.

#Somerville #SomerPoli

On when the #MBTA has technical difficulties, ie the automated message of the next stop is broken, do you get to hear the #Boston #Somerville #Medford accents.

What are the blockers from getting local political discourse migrated onto the fediverse?

Like, I live in #SomervilleMA - and we don't yet have any #SomervilleCityCouncil folks here yet, afaik. But most of them are relatively active still on birdsite?

We've got an election cycle coming up locally this fall, and I'm loathe to resume activity over on Twitter. #MAPoli #Somerville

Naimia Sait is running for #SomervilleCityCouncil in #SomervilleWard5.

Councilor Gómez-Mouakad announced in June that she will not seek another term for the seat.

I met Naima over the weekend, was impressed by her dedication to #Somerville, and hope you'll check out her site to keep in touch with her campaign:

Excellent dinner from my local farmers market Harvest Box from Kimball Fruit Farm. Cucumbers, spring onion, tomato, fresh herbs, and lemon zest mixed with pasta and sautéed paneer makes a lovely salad for these hot summer days. #food #eatlocal #farmersmarket #somerville #somervillema

While I wait for the power grid to come back on in my neighborhood in one of the country’s most densely populated cities I’m reminded of the importance of #SolarPower as #ClimateChange raises temperatures and we use more electricity by putting an air conditioner in every room

I love Somerville Theatre so much. #movies #boston #cambridge #somerville #fucknazis

So much rain! Feeling very tropics for the past month, here in #Somerville.

Not really the "daily afternoon thunderstorm" pattern, but it's got that feel.

The rain's pleasant, at least, and it's mostly not accompanied with high winds, all-day gray skies, torrential downpours -- it has generally been very pleasant rain, mild to moderate.

Wow. Such a great article here. Wrongfully convicted people could finally start receiving their compensation when they need it. (One of the people featured in the article had to wait SIX YEARS after release b4 getting funds.) Thank you to Senator Patricia Jehlen of #Somerville and Representatives Christopher Worrell of #Boston and Jeffrey Roy of #Franklin for this reform work. Our legal system is so incredibly f’d right now. These improvements would be huge.
