Walked past MATCH the other day and saw a bunch of school buses lined up that said Boston Public Schools on the side. So with a driver shortage and inconsistent route coverage, BPS is busing charter school students.

It wouldn't bug me so much if the charter school folks didn't work to degrade and undermine real public schools at every opportunity while getting crucial services from the same system.

Something I've observed:
People who use tools drive vans
People who are tools drive pickup trucks
Makes you wonder why Rachel Skerritt resigned from BLS. Oh yeah, it was "to spend more time with her family." Probably had nothing to do with the deeply entrenched racism...

Another email from my heating oil company predicting supply is going to be an issue this winter even if you can afford the (already outrageous) prices. Get some electric space heaters if you haven't already.
I have been informed in no uncertain terms by white guys from San Francisco that Seattle solved its housing crisis by building lots of high-end housing. Clearly this article is mistaken

Attn: men with $3k road bikes: you are commuting on the Southwest Corridor to some office job. Maybe cool it with the Tour de France energy.

No heat till November is bullshit. I got 2 family members with Reynaud's disease. Heat goes on when it gets cold.

Man, I hate how if you tweet something urging the mayor to do better on something, Boston's antivax bigots come out of the woodwork to like and retweet.

1950's-70's: rich people ruin cities by moving away
2000s-20's: rich people ruin cities by coming back
Just got an email from my heating oil company. Oil is over 5 bucks a gallon. I've never seen it over 4 bucks before. This is an impeding crisis, and I don't know why our electeds aren't talking about it. @wutrain? @maura_healey ? Anybody? #bospoli #mapoli
Saw 2 police cars parked on the Seaver St. Side of the Playstead in Franklin Park, presumably to prevent a stabbing that happened yesterday.

Students from @winsorschool and Newton ran cross country in Franklin Park today. Someone spray painted a big arrow on the grass in front of the overlook. Vandalism: it's okay when rich people do it! @BostonParksDept @CllrKendraLara
Last night's stabbing is a deeply horrifying event. And I'd like to point out that such things are very much not the norm in Franklin Park.
Gang, heating oil is nearly 5 bucks a gallon and it's not even really that cold yet. I hope @wutrain and the city council are thinking about opening warming centers. People may literally freeze because they can't afford heat.
