@reblavoie Okay, this made me jump over, too. See ya there.

Okay so I guess I’m also on BlueSky now. @reblavoie same as usual.

In #SalemMA we love our neighbors, no matter where you’ve come from, how long you’ve lived here, who you love, or how you identify yourself. Our values & our commitment to one another- to be a beacon, and a place that works for & welcomes all -is unwavering, no matter the tides.

This afternoon I sat down with #SalemMA’s first Poet Laureate, J.D. Scrimgeour, to talk about his work and how we can use his new role, which commences January 1st, to celebrate our community and the artistry of the written word.

Calling all booksellers, librarians, authors, and readers in the Commonwealth! What were your favorite books of 2024? Send us a video clip telling us about it! Send videos to info@massbook.org to be shared!

Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power. (After all, if you’re hellbent on staying in power but aren’t likely to win the next election, you can’t have your political opponents running around free.) To keep fascism out of our lives, vote for democracy!

It’s never lost on me that these people believe sincerely that simply being non-white is an insult.

As of yesterday, I have decided to resign from my role as a columnist for The Washington Post — a newspaper that I love. In a moment like this, everyone needs to make their own decisions. This is the reasonfor mine. 🧵

Zhu Finishes as Medalist to help @BabsonGolf Capture NEIGA Championship Crown: tinyurl.com/3h4xcnhz #GoBabo #d3golf

#SalemMA isn’t a theme park - we’re a real city and the people who live and work here love our community. To our thousands of visitors: help us keep Salem magical this October!

If you’re planning to drive to #SalemMA you’re planning to have an unhappy day. ☹️ Parking is severely limited & expensive - congestion will be significant. We have increased & cheaper trains, as well as expanded ferry service from Boston & So. Shore. patch.com/massachusetts/…

@BabsonAthletics @BabsonGolf I love the optimism: "first" hole-in-one of her collegiate career! 🦫

Alice made the first hole in one of her collegiate career and earned medalist honors for the second tournament in a row as @BabsonGolf captured the program's first title with a 22-shot victory at the NEIGA Championship on Sunday. #GoBabo #d3golf

In the first half of October #SalemMA had 666k visits downtown, 6.3% increase over last year. If that holds we’ll welcome 184k this weekend. Salem has 4k public parking spaces, so do the math. Take the train or ferry, have a plan, & pack your patience. salemma.gov/home/urgent-al…
