Government bureaucrat in #Boston. #Transit, technology, #climate, politics, parenting, radiodrama, #scifi.

We've got "Better Boston" up and running as a Mastodon instance, especially for bike/transpo/policy peeps in #GreaterBoston and #Massachusetts, but it can also be a good MA/Boston server in general too.

@meptrsn was the force getting things rolling, and I've got the server running

https://better.boston

Better Boston

A server for people in Greater Boston and Massachusetts interested in a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable region.

Would it help if we renamed it to “content wrapper?”

Looks like I should do that #introduction. I'm a government bureaucrat and #parent working in #transit #technology in #Boston. Lifelong #UU and #scifi reader and watcher. #Audiodrama enthusiast and long-lost #foley artist.

I wasn't on the birdsite and have been mostly off of social media for a few years now, so I have no idea what I'm doing but that's true of most situations I find myself in.

I get more characters? #climate #npr #startrek #doctorwho #theexpanse #babylon5 #kenliu

Who has contributed most to global CO2 emissions? #COP27 #AusPol
Still getting a feel for this. Is Mastodon an appropriate place to talk about the fear I feel on Election Day? And the day after Election Day? How about all the other days?

Now available!

A cryptobro DMed me to ask if I wanted to join his mailing list.

I spent slightly too long making this to send in reply.

Hi, #Mastodon! One final post before bed...

This is a carbonized loaf of bread from Pompeii, 79 C.E. - preserved for thousands of years in the volcanic ashes of Mount Vesuvius. The baker left his stamp, which reads: “Celer, slave of Quintus Granius Verus."

Celer survived, as his name later appears on a list of "freed men." Most bread at the time was baked in community ovens, so customized stamps were used to mark individual families’ and bakeries’ loaves.

I still try new things as often as possible, not to "suck the marrow out of life" or because "you only live once", or god forbid, any of that "live, laugh, love" bullshit. The reason I still try new things is the optimistism that eventually I'll find something I'm good at.
