the city of Somerville is doing participatory budgeting!

Sneak: For our local friends, please let folks know that Somerville is doing participatory budgeting! Any resident age 12 and over can participate, and they're taking suggestions until November 20th! You can see a list of people's suggestions here; there's a lot of repeats, and you can boost things you would love to have! (Or add a suggestion of your own if it's not on there already!) Lots of suggestions for curb cuts, ramps, water fountains, public bathrooms, and a municipal composting program! ^_^

Some other neat/unusual suggestions people made:

Marzicastella's Pre-Trump Prep List!

Folks asked for it, so I got the following list from marzicastella about things to do in prepapration for the new administration. We have added a few things, but it was marzicastella who did the real work! Thank marzicastella!

( Preparation! )

Rawlin sketch

Mori: Rawlin's appearance has changed pretty drastically in the past few years, so I figured I'd upload some art of him to show the difference!

Queer/Kinky/Erotic Media for 2025

Rogan: Hey, so, a friend was asking for recommendations on erotic work to stockpile and activated my amateur semi-library tendencies. And I wrote off so many I thought I should make a post about it. All of these are available in hard copy, or at least WERE. (Making this list made me realize how many had gone out of print... lament.)

Feel free to ask if you want specific kinks or themes! Leave your own recommendations in the comments! Anon comments are turned on!
