Suggestion for @HeyEpic @MassGenBrigham to add @crossbarhq "family calendar" function so you can see all your family appointments in the same view.
For @MBTA blue line closures we need a police detail at Chelsea/Visconti and all other key intersections near the tunnel. People block the box and it gridlocks the neighborhood for miles. The kids bus has been sitting near the entrance for over 30 minutes..
How does Eastie get the incredibly robust @bostonbtd ticket enforcement that the Fenway has on Sunday mornings? It’s so impressive and we never have weekend enforcement like this.

The only bit of advice I have to offer today is this:
It is a good day to give blood, to fill a community fridge, to buy someone a coffee, to write a note to someone, to donate or show up for those who need it.
Dear @Hertz -
Please note that Nixon at Boston Logan just provided incredible customer service in the face of a challenging near sold out evening.
Does this data exist for @BostonBTD ? As a resident who regularly is almost hit by cars speeding into the turn signal (ESP around @HelloGreenway) when I have the walk sign, I’d be so interested! Volunteering to analyze the data if no one is available to do so…
Just came across this fascinating research that’s being presented at @NASEMTRB next week: Out of 339 pedestrian crashes 2011-2015 in Milwaukee: 25% involved a driver who lived outside the city and a pedestrian who lived in the city. 10% were the reverse.
I’m a very consistent ward 1 precinct 3 (Eastie maverick) 7:45-8pm voter. Its usually empty- tonight at 7:50 it was packed! Thanks to the @BostonElections team for perfect execution at this site!
In 2020 the redhead in the pic asked me why her presidents placement had no girls. Tuesday she will have a female Governor, LG, Attorney General, Treasurer, Mayor, US Rep, US Senator, State Senator and City Councilor. Groundbreaking and important for my daughter AND my sons.
Twitter isn’t perfect.But for 13 years it’s been a one stop shop for curated news, analysis and thoughtful community across my broad range of interests. Thanks to the reporters, curators, and “regular people who care” - I’m grateful and appreciate your efforts.
“Be kind, be safe, be nice to one another”- the driver on the station announcement of the @MBTA blue line car 0753x . What a great reminder as we start the day!
Update she’s getting better. She just gave directions for tourists at each stop. And then told us all to “have a wonderful day because we deserve it”. Give this woman an award!!!
Can someone from @csoboston please help families understand how we can learn the priorities and goals of our Superintendent if we cannot follow his primary means of communication? I love your feed but its mainly joyful school retweets, not goals/priorities.
Blocking parents trying to understand @csoboston's approach to helping schools w/ staffing/recruiting in this crisis is contrary to the @bostoncatholic social media guidelines. Blocking concerned parents is the opposite of "promote a culture of respect, dialogue and friendship.”
My intentions are not to cause trouble.I'm simply the heartbroken mom of a kindergartener who had no teacher on the first day of school. Our principal worked hiring miracles all summer schoolwide, but came up one short. @csoboston needs to prioritize recruiting support for all.
The #mapoli campaigns need to reevaluate the use of texting. Two days straight of incessant texting is distracting and ineffective.
This. A million times this. -Former ANF budget team 2010-2014
If you have unmet needs, you don’t have a surplus. You have poor fiscal management.

ALT State officials project Massachusetts will have a nearly $5 billion surplus from the fiscal year that ended in June, offering policymakers a huge pot of cash to cover a likely multibillion-dollar refund due back to taxpayers. Whether it also prompts lawmakers to reconsider shelving a wide-ranging tax relief package is another matter.
@plymouthbroc passing along that the driver of the 3:30 Logan-> Hyannis is truly a delight!
Was showing this chart to my husband and our confused 8yo just asked if a “mass shooting” was a shooting here in Massachusetts or a shooting during a catholic mass. Important conversations no family should have to have.

Can someone at @BostonPlans activity base cost the amount of time and effort spent on roof deck approvals? Considering they exist throughout Jeffries Point why on earth does each one have to go through a separate process? Clearly they are allowed if they are everywhere JP?
