from the new Sville Times
"Massachusetts has a thriving zine scene, and you’re invited to check out as many zine libraries in the Greater Boston area
as you can. During the month of April, complete your Zine Library Crawl passport for the opportunity to win prizes."
according to the Somerville Elfland IG, there is a community cleanup day scheduled for Tuesday, 4/15 at 1pm.
the elves are also encouraging folks to do their own cleanup, if they can't make that particular date/time.

Oh, I had #FensterFreitag photo for today. Working windows. Or, they used to be. It was an ice cream stand until a couple of years ago.

my new zine (a collab with the excellent Alex Kittle) is now available over at NYC's legendary art bookstore, Printed Matter.
I understand this link requires login, sorry. But I wanted you to see real named people talking about this, including a person who says she is #RumeysaOzturk's union organizer.
Here is the direct link to the fundraiser if you can't see the thread.
For #SomervilleMA neighbors: I have seen this thread about a fundraiser for #RumeysaOzturk. I watched the chatter and it looks legit by multiple people in the thread.
But I can't vet it otherwise. Still, I figured I'd take the chance that it's real with a few bucks. I haven't seen another route.

@ascentale @xtaran @bikenite I haven't participated in a while, today seems as good as any day to restart!
A1: I'm in #SomervilleMA. I generally don't bike to my mother-in-law's place for dinner even though it's only 4 miles away. We usually have to bring a bunch of stuff and would have to bike back in the dark after a drink. A cargo bike might change things, but this one is probably on infrastructure.

The video from Thursday night's #SomervilleMA city council meeting is up on YT. Here's a link to where the item on the Commission for Persons with Disabilities starts (during which I was sponsored to speak by DSA member and mayoral candidate, Willie Burnley Jr.).
everything is awful, but Alex Kittle and I just put out a zine about the unsanctioned, DIY sculpture garden near Somerville's Davis Square, if you're looking for a different mood...

I was out scoping out a future tour of #SomervilleMA and went down a street I don't typically drive by. But what a gem of a sign to find.
There is a neon sign company here and I assume it's theirs.
#SomervilleMA spawned Guster, btw. The same place where one of our neighbors was kidnapped off the street by the new Stasi.
We know how to stand up and we will.
This was how you use your megaphone if you have one.
