oh hey its the #BostonWeekend thread where I work on building local community here in the fediverse - by compiling a thread of interesting and iconic boston area events. Its a fun social thing, and I hope you find this useful. If this sort of thing resonates, boost, favorite, follow the #bostonweekend tag, tell your off-'verse pals about this thing (esp if you're trying to encourage them off facebook/insta platforms), invite others to join the #BostonWeekend party thread (13/x).
