somervillema.legistar.comCity of Somerville, Massachusetts - Meeting of Finance Committee on 6/16/2025 at 6:00 PM

Not for nothing, but the city of Somerville posting excitedly to social media about the Braille printer tonight is A WHOLE LOOK. The machine was purchased over a year ago but never used! This ADA coordinator has also (within the past month) been publicly called out (including by me) AGAIN for hindering accessibility for some residents and blocking work of the Commission for Persons w/Disabilities.

Like, this is A WHOLE LOOK. Not a great one.

Thu June 12, 7pm - Free screening @ the Somerville Armory of MA-based independent documentary film, "Hero Camp!" with Q&A with the filmmaker after eventbrite.com/e/documentary-f
Trailer: vimeo.com/879904219

Synopsis: Hero Camp! is a coming of age documentary that follows three queer teens on their paths towards self-discovery at a live action role-play (LARP) summer camp. Set against the backdrop of suburban Massachusetts, the film captures how this extraordinary camp community transforms our world into the fantasy realm of Sidleterra, where they battle villains from the writings of Homer and Lewis Carroll. As each of them invent and role play as their camp characters, they unearth revelations about their own identities, which they gradually carry over to the real world.#SomervilleArmory

EventbriteDocumentary Film Screening: Hero Camp!Join us for a free screening of the MA-based independent documentary film, "Hero Camp!" There will be a filmmaker Q&A after the screening.

Ok, random question for #SomervilleMA / #cambridgeMA residents: if you’ve had Servpro or equivalent on site to clean out water from a basement, roughly how much did they charge you?

(Or if you haven’t, but you’ve been a homeowner for a while, take a guess for me. Just a rough sense of what you’d expect as an estimate.)
