New England friends, I wonder which towns and cities are taking the #climate crisis seriously. Your thought(s)? We have seen more extreme weather already (#remember Leominster), and b4 this we knew that burning fossil fuels would make our atmosphere warmer, less stable, so I hope we're seeing real momentum in the way of adaptation and mitigation. Who among us is listening to indigenous voices? #SomervilleMA comes to mind for their transportation and pro-Palestinian work, but let's hear more!
Boston/Cambridge/Somerville peeps:
If you need a futon, or anything futon-adjacent, I want to give a HUGE shout out to Bedworks in Central Square.
Yes, I'm sure you already know about them and I know they've been there forever and I know they're practically an institution (I think I bought my first futon couch from them in the 80s?)...
but it was just *such* a lovely experience to go in and buy something local and spend the time having a lovely extended conversation with the staff person there (wish I'd gotten his name!)

If you're new, welcome - this is my weekly project to highlight weird, wonderful, iconic #events happening near my home (#SomervilleMA) - anything that looks worth the trip lands on the list.
I share my work with you in the hopes of building both community and connections. I only do this on the #fediverse, and usually ask only for a heads up when you find something useful. #BostonWeekend 2/x
