No such thing as a blinking yellow that turns green. Blinking yellow just usually means a crossroad where there is a stop sign on the roads perpendicular to the main road. A blinking yellow light will always be a blinking yellow light.

Worcester Community Action Council phone: (508) 754-1176 could probably use VITA* volunteers https://www.wcac.net/vita/
(Volunteer Income Tax Assistance)

Reach out to local nursing homes to see if they need volunteers to read or visit with people. Umass has a volunteer program too

That’s what CA just did. I have faith it will prove useful soon enough.

I believe Biden just did it again last year. They won’t take the football out from under us again, right?

I’m looking for a good reason to get out of the apartment that provides some sense purpose outside of the work environment and allows me feel part of the community I live in. I haven’t volunteered a ton in my life so I don’t know what would foot the bill. I suppose working at a food bank would cut it, or mentoring people about my field, or helping out in a retirement home. No idea. I really thought it’d be easier to find something. I guess you have to know people.

Do you now find that there are a few hours that you can't account for?

Elaborate on what you’re looking for and why

We saw a lot of green flashes from exploding transformers during the recent ice storm.
A very likely answer.

I don't know anything about the mayor's response, but when workers protest injustice, everyone wins.

Why is it selfish - any more than someone negotiating for their salary at a private company?

Maybe the towns should stop raising real estate taxes

Ya, because you KNOW everything. Too bad, rent control will be a reality in 2 months! Cannot wait.

Yeah, that's not a ringing endorsement of the policy. And the bill in question simply lets towns and cities impose rent controls at their own discretion. I cannot in good conscience support that bill. It's a bad idea that will make the housing problem in Massachusetts worse with no guarantee that it will have any positive impacts.

The only statement that you made that is true is that desegregation was citywide
