1b/c. we have 4 squeezey insulated plastic Camelbak Podium Chill bottles with a twist top. I like that they can break down so you can clean out the scunge that inevitably accumulates in there. I believe they're dishwasherable but we usually clean them by hand. Unfortunately getting a replacement bit can cost as much as a whole bottle, we try not to drop the rubber stopper in the disposal

Cool well as long as I have the entirety of cycling mastodon looking at me right now, time for some #shamelessSelfPromotion! I make handmade geeky/nerdy bags from my home studio in Somerville MA. Cyclists might be especially interested in my high-visibility stickers: https://rhymes-with-doctor.myshopify.com/products/reflective-stickers-sm

They're made of retro-reflective material that bounces light directly back to the source - I have them on my helmet and they are SO BRIGHT when car headlights or bicycle lights hit them. US shipping only (unfortunately), stickers ship free.

https://rhymes-with-doctor.myshopify.com/ also has a ton of other tote / messenger / fanny packs / etc for your carrying-stuff convenience.

If you're local to #boston #cambridgeMA #somervilleMA I'll be selling at the FLUFF FESTIVAL next Saturday, September 19, 1-5p! Come say hi, I love meeting my pocket friends.

I legitimately do not understand what these markings are attempting to communicate.

(This is where Tufts St in Somerville makes a T onto Cross St. We're looking south on Cross and Tufts St is to the left.)

EDIT: See thread for more context on intersection. Also some good ideas in the replies!

#Massachusetts - #SomervilleMA Overnight Center Opening For Winter Season

The location serves as a shelter for local adults dealing with homelessness.

by Benjamin Pierce, Wed, Dec 3, 2025

SOMERVILLE, MA — "The city’s Emergency Overnight Warming Center is opening next week for the winter season, the office of Mayor Katjana Ballantyne announced.

"The facility located on the second floor of the former #CummingsSchool at 42 Prescott St. is slated to open on Monday, Dec. 8 and remain open until April 12 of 2026. It will be open seven days a week from 5 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. Malden-based nonprofit Housing Families was credited for helping the center expand to bed 45 people on a nightly basis for this year. In addition to sleeping quarters, adults facing homelessness will be given hot meals, housing navigation, and case management services.

"The center is accepting donations of nonperishable food and hygiene products."

kind of loving this #weather site, #meteoblue

Very nerdy level of detail, relatively clean/low-ad design, and offers multiple forecast models. And, this page gives you a history page so one can see how accurate the predictions were over the past 10 days. Decent amount of function at the free tier, but there's a paid service if one requires more.
