“Choose the least important day in your life. It will be important enough.” - Thornton Wilder

@OldSchoolBoston I miss that record department.

Thanks to Tom Dolan for this one! I took this in 1972 in the old Harvard Coop, to which I may have been addicted, I spent so much time there. The girl in the black sweater is looking at the room-length fiction rack (novels, short stories). The girl in the miniskirt is looking at poetry, drama, and literary criticism. "Coop," for those of you who don't know, is short for "cooperative" but rhymes with "hoop." It's still the official Harvard bookstore. (The bookstore on Mass Ave that's actually called the "Harvard Bookstore" is not.) This is the bookstore in the pre-Barnes & Noble Coop. It was on the second floor of the building behind the main one, on Palmer Street. First floor was hardcovers, second floor paperbacks, third floor textbooks. Second floor was also where the huge record department was, long since gone. The store that opened onto Mass Ave sold clothes, school supplies, and the like. Pretty much the opposite of the way it is now, except that clothes have been phased out for gifts and Harvard souvenirs. (And there's no longer a photography department.)

@TheMicheleWojo I hate myself for loving this.😂

Had to share (Cher) it! 😉

@theilmatic As a Gen X'er, I approve this message.

Had to do it

@TheMicheleWojo I'm saving this one.

@BostonMassUSA The most awesome thing in your lunch box in 1978.

what’s this?

@BassetBuck Smart move. If they don't have any credentials that you can verify, tell them you're fine and close the door. Also, take some notes after the meeting with a general description of appearance, vehicle, etc. Stay safe, and I hope you & Dad are home soon.

@BassetBuck So glad you’re all safe. Here’s hoping that you can get home soon.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@FinleyDBasset Carbs will do it every time.😄

Gov. Healey: The T is fine. Also Gov. Healey ...

@MadameGilflurt This is peak 1970s key party style

All that’s male in a man. Sheer flair, sheer verve, sheer nerve.

@MadameGilflurt I miss the 80s

@Crystal_Parsins @ask_aubry

With my Crystal Ball 🔮 I look into the future and see that she comes to view him as second child she needs to care for and loses all sexual interest in him. His weaponized incompetence continues and they get divorced and her life is much easier because she only has one child to look after

He thought paternity leave was going to be extended vacation. 😒

@TheMicheleWojo It still remembers lyrics to one hit wonders from the 80’s!

@mandy_harker @ask_aubry Yup, and although Lana Del Rey and Taylor Swift aren't at the top of goth playlists, they have an appreciation for all music, regardless of genre.

@ask_aubry The goths I knew back when I was in my last year of high school and first year uni loved to party, go to festivals and generally have fun. It's almost like goths are normal people.

Put him on all the lists

@NYPLRecommends Do you know of any romance novels set in the 1920s? Bonus points if it's set in NYC!

@greentrinh1 Oh, he remembered, he just wants you to open THIS door! #basshole 😀

Poor Copper didn’t remember that he went out to the deck through a different open door. He stood here looking for someone to open this one. #bassethound #dogtwitter #dogsofX #AdoptDontShop
