  3. #Movie #Recommendations: I picked up #DustBunny (2025) from our #SomervilleMA library - it was a romp!
    American #Independent #fantasy/#Weird #horror film, #BryanFuller's directoral debut, hitman #MadsMikkelsen enlisted to eliminate the monster that live under the bed of the 10yo next door. Kind of a Monsters Inc meets Twin Peaks in a lush Wes Anderson setting.

    Sumptuous visuals, Sigourney Weaver, never knew where the plot was going to go, hadn't seen anything about it before we hit play. Not for kids, extended fight scenes with lots of flashing, lots of kid-dream-logic, 84/82% 🍅 .

  5. #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."

  13. How it starts. My sister @mclare requested a messenger bag for her daily carry from some specific fabric. After quite a few conversations about what tech she needs to carry regularly and exactly what size everything was, I drew up the specs for the pockets (So. Many. Pockets.) and what cuts of fabric I needed to make it happen. Next up is cutting and sewing. #custombags #custommade #handmade #somervillema #messengerbag #sewing

  14. police log details on the two violent threats sent to the Somerville Public Library last weekend-- Saturday's bomb threat, and Sunday's sniper threat.

  17. Id0l Jam is happening in September in Somerville! :mexcitedmiku:

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: .)
