After significant pressure from the city of Cambridge, the American Association of University Professors and Harvard faculty, staff, students, and alumni, Harvard issued this very (for them) powerful letter promising not to cave to federal pressure: https://www.harvard.edu/president/news/2025/the-promise-of-american-higher-education/
Protest makes a difference. So does calling your alma mater. So do city council resolutions. Public pressure is what will keep our community institutions on the right track or get them back on track if they are not.
Recommit today to picking something to work on, no matter how small it feels, that gets you involved in fighting what is going on. There are so many ways to fight and we need them all.

I can express with confidence that I will finish using up my pre-2020 housemates' legacy pantry and bath products by the start of 2026 (tagged living in #CambridgeMA lol)
For how cold and wet it is out, today's ride to and from the #CambridgeMA rally — calling for #harvard not to bow before fascism as columbia and princeton are doing — was a pretty enjoyable excursion.
I am now a complete believer in merino wool. It's amazing to get wet on a cold day and be not-miserable about it. Like, I would prefer to be dry and warm, but wet and mostly-warm is a pretty cool result for "I put on a wool base layer under my jeans".
I know there's no way Club Passim intended their glass merch to evolve to this state, and it's in no way accurate to call Club Passim "assy," but it makes me giggle every time I use this cup now. #CambridgeMA

Y'all
If you're in the #SomervilleMA #CambridgeMA #MedfordMA #ArlingtonMA area and are not reading @cambridgeday.bsky.social
get on it.
If you see the value and have been regularly reading Cambridge Day, and have a little wiggle in the budget, a recurring contribution, even if right now all you can swing is 12 bucks a year, goes a long way to demonstrate your appreciation.
They're a 501c3 #nonprofit, so taxes, and maybe you can get an employer to match?

SATURDAY APRIL 12th, 2025
12 PM - 2 PM
CAMBRIDGE COMMON, HARVARD SQUARE

Friday - 1pm and 8pm, free - Holden Chapel @ #Harvard #CambridgeMA - infra-sonic, sub-woofer, modular #synth concert with Sound Lab Artist-in-Residence Retribution Body and guest performer #AshaTamirisa
This looks super cool if you’re into synthy music or putting unexpected sounds in beautiful/historic spaces - the 1pm show is tuning all the gear to the resonance of the Chapel, and the 8pm thing is the show.
