  1. Hype for the Future 183J: City of Lynchburg, Virginia

    Overview The City of Lynchburg is a community located in the Southside region of the Commonwealth of Virginia and is an independent city bounded by Campbell County to the southeast, Bedford County to the southwest, and Amherst County to the north. Today, Lynchburg is the largest city in the general area typically associated with the Southside, assuming that the Greater Richmond area is excluded entirely and only areas south of the James River further upstream are considered.

  6. Kind of sad about Hampshire closing. I went to UMass.

    "#HampshireCollege, the nontraditional #liberalarts #school that pioneered #college-level #Holocaust classes and played a central role in launching the acclaimed #Yiddish #Book Center, announced Tuesday that it is shutter at the end of the calendar year.

    The closure, which follows semester after years of financial troubles, won’t affect #YiddishBookCenter, which operates on land purchased from the college in #Amherst, #Massachusetts.

    “We are saddened by #Hampshire College’s announcement,” Susan Bronson, president of the Yiddish Book Center, said in a statement. “Hampshire has been a valued neighbor for many years, and we recognize the significance of this moment for its community.”

    Founded by Hampshire alum #AaronLansky in 1980 as an effort to save Yiddish-language publications from extinction, the Yiddish Book Center purchased the land for its permanent #campus space from the college in 1997."

  17. Speaking of #Massachusetts woes . . .

    #UMass #Amherst @umassamherst.bsky.social @UMassAmherst navigates cocaine sting, fire, and union pressure

    “I wouldn’t be surprised if there were alligators in the UMass hotel at this point,” said Alexis Ali

  18. The Town of #Amherst on Sunday mornings is littered with trash and garbage when #UMassAmherst is in session. It's a challenge to walk a boxer dog with chicken bones scattered everywhere. Forrest would not be amused. #WesternMass

  19. #Westhampton #Massachusetts, is that near you?

    A friend is somewhat desperate for a new, temporary housing situation, post-break-up, ideally for now through the next 3-4 months.

    Do you know of a potential low-cost living space (roommates? Spare room? sublet?) while they get back on their feet? They're good people, employed at a community-focused non-profit org, non-smoker, and are a member of a marginalized group.

    @ me for details.
