Beautiful day here. Went out for an early walk along the beach before it got busy but could’ve stayed longer, it’s so pleasant out. Saw lots of dragonflies and a number of tern nesting sites. #boston #southie #beach

A view of the beach and water. It’s a cloudless day. The Harbor Islands are on the horizon. The water glitters from the sun, and numerous boats bob on the surface. There is a silhouette of a person sitting on the beach just in front of a sand dune.

Numerous pale violet flowers (unsure of species - maybe a type of aster?) bloom from tall stalks rising out of the sand dunes. Behind, out of focus, is the beach and the water line.

While running errands today, spied these messages in a doorway by Kings Terminal #Southie

“Sometimes in life you have
to do things you don’t want to do

That’s what life is
One fuckn vile task after another”

“I know
Everything happens
For a reason

But what the fuck”

A black doorway on the side of a brick building. Sticker lettering on the door reads “115K” and “common space emergency exit (not an entrance)”

Above the doorway are red stenciled letters (description in the next image)

To the right of the doorway, a white column is attached to the wall. It’s in rough shape and the paint is peeling. On the column, black stenciled letters read

“I know
Everything happens
For a reason

But what the fuck”

The top of a white doorframe on the outside of a brick building. Red stenciled letters read:

“Sometimes in life you have
to do things you don’t want to do

That’s what life is
One fuckn vile task after another”

Went all over the #Boston area this weekend, in spite of the unseasonable cold. MIT List Visual Arts Center, Beacon Hill, and ramen in Fort Point on Sat. Today: breakfast at My Diner in #Southie, and then #Cambridge Antique Market, where I picked up a wooden darning egg and a small ceramic ink well.

This introvert is pleased but also very tired 😮‍💨

An image from Pedro Gómez-Egaña’s installation The Great Learning. A series of walls with openings, as frames, recedes into the distance. Each wall/frame forms a series of rooms, many of which are exactly the same down to the last detail. Each room slice is part of someone’s living space: a kitchen, a sitting room, a bedroom. In the image, a simple clock hangs on one of the wall/frames. A drawing and a jar of pens/pencils sits on a table. This scene repeats across several wall/frames. They are like liminal spaces.

A simple street (alley) scene in Beacon Hill. Tidy brick buildings line either side of a puddle-y, narrow alley. Flower boxes and a flag decorate the front of one building. To the left in the distance, a few trees have begun to display early spring buds.

Back at it in Boston #running #boston #southboston #southie

Random ask to #boston fediverse, but does anyone have #arborist or #tree specialist recs for folks who help *treat* trees vs just removing or pruning them? The tree in front of our place (not on city land) has a substantial branch only partly broken that I think is salvageable, but it needs help. Tree cover in #Southie is bad enough, really don’t want to remove it 🌳❤️‍🩹

Classic options that might be great for you this #Weekend:

* #CastleIsland (a peninsula, actually, eastmost #Southie big fort and beach)
* #BostonHarbor Islands (ferry to several actual islands)
* #PlumIsland is a barrier island north of the city, bring or rent a bike, glorious.
* Cultural/museum pass with your #library card - massive discounts for the izzy, the MOS, the ICA, the MFA, or free
* Walden Pond
* #IpswichesSexExplorer to #CraneBeach
* #CharlesRiver Canoe and Kayak or #CommunityBoating
* #MemorialDrive closed to vehicle traffic summer Sundays
* #ArnoldArboretum or #MountAuburn Cemetery
* Knock on your neighbor's door, invite them over for dinner

Bright, sunny gorgeous water view in Southie this am, but very cold inside the rink - almost like outdoors. #YouthHockey #HockeyRink #Southie

$Première de couverture présentée avec, en arrière-plan, la photo d’une ruelle entre des maisons aux façades en briques rouges. La couverture est essentiellement de couleur jaune, on y voit un autobus scolaire sous lequel le sol est fracturé. On peut y lire le nom de l’auteur (Dennis Lehane), le titre (« Le Silence »), le genre littéraire (roman), ainsi que le logo des éditions Gallmeister.$

This probably doesn't make any sense to outsiders, but most people mistakenly think of a #Boston #accent -- or even a New England accent -- as a monolithic thing, but it's not. There's noticeable differences between classes, towns, heritages, and so on. There's identifiable subtleties between a #Marblehead, #Beverly, #Salem, #Peabody, #Lynn, #Saugus, #Revere, #Eastie, #Southie, etc. accent. 2/4
