@mchesner if you’re talking about the purple berries in the photo - that’s from a plant called Poke Weed. I’m inundated here in #danbury with it. The birds love it! But it’s super toxic for mammals. While pretty, the berries will also stain. Removing the stalks can cause a bad rash so cover up if you are doing it.

After yesterday’s stealth campers, here’s a camper van that is much more overt in advertising its purpose. But don’t be fooled by the 1970s vibe given off by this conversion from the British firm Danbury - the Volkswagen T2 base vehicle is a much newer import from Brazil, where the type was produced until 2013. Among the giveaways; the radiator grille and the ridge on the door pressings. Local car park snap.

they also need volunteers for helping spread info on legal rights, particularly if you are bilingual!

They also volunteers for their Rapid Response group to respond to reports of ICE activity. Rapid Response is primarily there to document & record interactions. Get names, badge numbers, plates, info on where detained individuals are being taken, etc, so the case can be followed up on

Danbury Unites for Immigrants is looking for volunteers! they are most in need of people as Court Escorts for folks trying to do business at Danbury Courthouse.

ICE has been camped outside at the courthouse last two days. They've been there previously, making it hazardous for folks to conduct even routine business.

Upcoming onboarding via Zoom for that task & other volunteer positions

Welcome my longtime friend @mattcaputo to Mastodon!

If you don't know Matt, he's a legendary raconteur and the only one of my friends that I took to a Red Bulls game who kept coming back for more.

Whether it's #Journalism, the #Isles, or the peculiarities of minor league hockey in #Danbury, CT, say hi, and welcome him to this weird and wonderful place.
