Yay! I’ve been a classical instructor for 10+ years now lmk if you have questions or anything. More glitter pilates people!

A big pile of snow impedes the sidewalk on state St in Boston

I'm glad the city cleared the bike lane on State I just wish they didn't do it at the expense of the sidewalk.

A solid 20% of my free time this winter is humidifier maintenance. Refilling constantly, cleaning so they don’t get germs, changing filters. But it’s that or nosebleeds, yay New England winter!

We have an xfinity outage in my neighborhood in Boston. On Super Bowl Sunday, when the pats are in the Super Bowl. yikes! (I’m mad because it cut out just when the figure skating was going to start).

Voter #322 in my North End precinct at 6:30 pm, so turnout seems pretty low.

Got my covid booster at the cvs two blocks away yesterday! Thanks to the MA governor and dept of public health for their work to make it available but it’s insane that getting a vaccine is now somehow and act of rebellion against the administration. I just hate getting sick!

Hope she also had a spoon.

[smug glance from boston] we have an excellent mayor destroying our local version of Bobby Newport, we can spare some obsession for yours.

I saw one in the north end, one of the restaurants on Hanover. Probably the same people with spagnuolo for mayor signs last time.

Going to take over the magic flight attendant announcement phone thing so I can keep the whole plane updated.

Apropos of nothing in particular, the word "internecine" means "mutually destructive" but I always want to define it as "taking place on the internet"

Logged on to the airplane Wi-Fi just to not miss a minute of this A+ feud.

Initially read that as “peasant” lol

Love the pomp and ceremony of the new pope-ing, would love for the Vatican to really lean in and have the strongest cardinal hold up the new pope lion king style. Just hold him up right over the balcony please.

The power of positive masshole-ing.
