I was excited to learn, thanks to a flyer at my door, that #DanielLander is challenging #Massachusetts State Senator #WillBrownsberger.
I was once a Brownsberger fan, but my enthusiasm waned as his progressivism did. My last straw was his refusal to support the unionization of legislature staff.
I don't know if Lander can beat him, but Brownsberger needs to feel heat from the left.

I recently posted that my wife and I were ceasing donations to the #Boston #Eruv until they removed "We support Israel!" from their website.
They responded today: "I made the necessary edits to the website. Hopefully, our mutually beneficial arrangement of having a Community Eruv and having you support it as you have for many years can continue."
I'm pleased. This is honestly not what I expected.
Just a reminder that speaking up _can_ make a difference!

My wife and I have happily supported the #Boston #Eruv for many years.¹
They put up a "We support Israel" logo on their website in October 2023 and haven't taken it down since.
I just emailed them that we won't donate again until they stop publicly supporting #Israel.
It's long past time for Jews with a conscience to tell Jewish institutions they're associated with that they're all done putting up with supporting #genocide.
[UPDATE: They took it down!]

The Senate Chair of the Massachusetts Joint Committee on the Judiciary is Lydia Edwards, who represents Third Suffolk (#Revere, #Winthrop, and parts of #Boston).
The House Chair is Michael Day, who represents 31st Middlesex (#Stoneham and parts of #Winchester.
If you know anyone in those districts who cares about electronic privacy and the 4th amendment, it'd especially valuable to have them on board.

pro tip: if you're taking commuter rail into and out of Boston on a day with a Red Sox game, you might not need to buy a ticket.
They didn't check either inbound or outbound.
(I bought and activated my tickets anyway, I think public transit is worth supporting.)
But now I'm realizing maybe I should have checked, and maybe this is an explicit policy on this line on game days?

Id0l Jam is happening in September in Somerville! :mexcitedmiku:
After there was some issue with the venue for the summer, Metam0re is now hosting Autumn Id0l Jam on September 29 at Arts at the Armory in Somerville. A day of Idol Showcases, singing, cosplay, and other idol and anime related stuff. (And now conveniently located in my city, no more needing to take the commuter rail :TamakoLaugh: .)
More info, and applications for performances and for vending space (I think they're especially looking for more artists to vend, anyone who's got some nerdy stuff to sell): https://autumnid0ljam.carrd.co/

Metam0re is looking for vendors/artists for Summer Id0l Jam 2024, to be held on July 27th in Framingham, MA. It's a free entry single day idol-themed con-type event, mainly featuring idol showcases (plural!!! :mexcitedmiku: ), singing, and a cosplay contest. Last year's was easily one of the most fun events of the year. They're looking to grow it out a lot this year, in one way by having a market area for vendors. (Because we clearly need another way to spend money on merch. The Miku pin I bought at the artist alley last weekend was a need, it was Miku day! :leafeonmoney: ) Figure I should post about it here since word tends to spread mainly on instagram, but there are a decent number of fanartists and folks in the Northeast US/Boston-area specifically on Fedi!
