That ferry pass was spendy but wow if that wasn't the best, most relaxing commute. Even in bad weather I had fun lol then it was an adventure.

I would reach out to any Unitarian churches in your area. I'm a Unitarian and my church has helped refugees as part of its mission. I really hope you can find them something soon!

I love it. I don't always expect tons of important mail but it's handy to know if I should stop at the mailbox that day.

Haha that's kinda funny. Like they got to your name on the 62F list and decided to give you a free gift with purchase 😂

My Thanksgiving was absolute trash but according to Informed Delivery, my 62F refund check is coming today so I have that going for me which is nice.

Oh they're up here too but when I'm at my boyfriends house in Braintree they're at least way more vocal with that bullshit. Ridiculous

Having been in Malden about 5 years now, and lived south shore much of my life before then, I definitely think Malden is more diverse. That might not have a ton of carryover to being more comfortable here if you're LGBTQ but you might feel more comfortable that you're in a pool of all different kinds of people.

I'm biased though, I really like it here lol

Here's a calculator. You need to know how much tax you paid in 2021 and if you got any credits.

Serious answer.

It has all that metal on it to keep homeless people from sleeping on it. It stays warm. That is actually an emergency exit out of the subway tunnel, and they don't want people laying on it because then people could get trapped trying to escape in an emergency.

It's a weird story how I know that, but that is what those are. Exit doors.

I do Malden Center to Tufts regularly and it's been slower than pre shutdown for sure. Better the last time but still slower. Hopefully they get it straightened out its added 10-15 minutes to what was once a very reasonable trip.

I have PPO insurance and I've never needed a PCP referral. That sounds more like Ops insurance. When I've thought I needed a specialist I've just called places til I found somewhere that was scheduling. Then again I don't immediately equate a bad headache with being a brain tumor...
