Nice! Landed at Sail Loft, waiting for others to arrive with a view of boats docked in Boston Harbor. And saw Rafaela hit the walkoff fora much needed win! #redsox

I typically listen to an album in its entirety while cooking our Sunday dinner. A change of pace from the usual mixed #playlist. Tonight's selection, from Tracy Chapman. #music open.spotify.com/album/6hmmX5...

Nice play by Trevor Story! To go with his 3 RBI double. Would be great to have him get rolling. #RedSox

Good overview of the Harvard fight to retain independence and resist the attacks from the Trump administration. #highered #democracy www.bostonglobe.com/2025/05/31/m...

Great day for a walk at the @massaudubon.org Ipswich River Sanctuary! #dailywalk #nature #newengland

On the Outrage Overload podcast, Maureen Eccleston from the Service Year Alliance does a great job explaining the powerful role national service programs play in our communities. She also covers what you can do to address the #AmeriCorps cuts. #democracy #DOGE outrageoverload.net/outrage-bonu...

Proud of the way my alma mater is leaning into this! #democracy #Harvard

I liked Marcelo's plate discipline on the first couple pitches. Put the first AB in perspective -- Ted Williams struck out in his first appearance, too! (doubled next time up) #RedSox

Glad to see this news! Let's go, Marcelo! #RedSox www.bostonglobe.com/2025/05/24/s...

Listening to WEEI #RedSox rain delay coverage. Definitely agree that this is the time to bring up Marcelo Mayer!

Ever make big plans to spend some time off "catching up" on projects that need to get done on the home front? If you're with me on that, you might find this piece from the @theonion.com as funny as I did! #humor #TheOnion theonion.com/plan-to-stra...

Good for Liam Hendricks, speaking out against obnoxius fan behavior. #RedSox #civility www.bostonglobe.com/2025/05/22/s...

There’s been strong support for the important service #AmeriCorps provides local communities. We’ve appreciated the support of our @socialcap program. Here’s another example of a Mass. AmeriCorps program getting strong community support in the wake of the major DOGE cuts: bit.ly/4dsVaFX

A heron posing on the morning walk today. #nature #dailywalk

After disasters, AmeriCorps was everywhere. What happens when it’s gone? Elon Musk's DOGE has gutted the 30-year-old national service agency. grist.org/extreme-weat... #Musk #DOGE #Climate #Environment #AmeriCorps #Disaster

Yes! Way to go, Raffy! #RedSox #Raffy

Alright! I got all 8 correct in this week's @nytimes.com Flashback quiz. I like the little tidbits one picks up doing this. Such as one from today about Alexander Graham Bell's suggestion that the phone be answered with the greeting "Ahoy!". #NYTgames #history

Good overview of research pointing to the importance of strong relationships and #socialconnection for long-term happiness. @nytimes.com article. #wellness www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/m...

The latest newsletter from Julia Freeland Fisher has some interesting perspectives on #socialcapital & belonging during these challenging times. #education mailchi.mp/53e3f97d5829...

I appreciate the support from Senator Markey & are entire Mass. delations for the AmeriCorps program. In this MassLive article, I had a chance to talk about the impact of the cuts for the @socialcapitalinc.org #AmeriCorps program and our partners. www.masslive.com/politics/202... #DOGEcuts

Warmer weather & more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere means, among other things, longer allergy seasons. We can attest to this in our home! #allergies #environment www.bostonglobe.com/2025/05/13/m...

Nice job, Garrett Crochet! Serious ace material there. Striking out a top notch player with the bases plugged, after throwing 100+ pitches. #RedSox #MLB

It's not my natural position, but I'd be willing to give 1B a try...even though growing up I had my heart set on playing LF field for the #RedSox.

What an inspiring night! 🌟 With the state of things, I know we were all ready for an uplifting event, and the 2025 @socialcapitalinc.org Idealist Celebration definitely delivered. Honorees Marinell Rousmaniere, Turahn Dorsey, and Kabir Anand delivered heartfelt, compelling remarks. #nonprofits

Sorry to hear of the passing of one of my favorite @harvard.edu professors, Joseph Nye. He could really bring international politics to life in his lectures; and articulated the importance of "soft power". #highered #internationalrelations www.hks.harvard.edu/faculty-rese...

“A perfectly kept house is a sign of a misspent life." I support this sentiment from Mary Randolph Carter, quoted in Meditations for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman. #priorities #booksky

Reading Oliver Burkeman's "Meditations for Mortals". I like this quote about the idea one should take care of small tasks first to clear space for bigger priorities: “A commitment to clearing the decks leads inexorably spent to a life unendingly clearing the decks.” #quotes #booksky #balance

I enjoyed this conversation with @martindredmond.bsky.social! Talking about his journey in wine, ideas for good wine pairings and more. Also talked about his work with the Glancy Wine Education Foundation, which helps to increase #diversity in the wine business. #winesky #podcast

This @nytimes.com article describes how the impact of the tariffs with China will really start being felt over the next few months, via higher prices and empty shelves. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/b... #economy #tariffs

Update from SCI about the termination of our #AmeriCorps grant. We had good company - about 1,000 other programs across the country, doing what our grant contract funded us to do. Arbitrary DOGE cut. We're working to take care of our members & partners. #democracy

I was heartened to see a majority of @nytimes.com poll respondents supporting democratic processes. 54% say that Trump is going beyond the powers available to the president; 2/3 say he needs to conform to existing rules. #politics #democracy www.nytimes.com/2025/04/28/p...

Enjoyed my first visit to #Austin! Some great live music, checked out the Capitol, and a side trip to #wine country!

Thank you Senator for supporting #AmeriCorps! Hope you are joined by many colleagues on both sides of the aisle.

Good to see Tristan go deep! #RedSox

Just arrived in Ogunquit! Ready to enjoy a quick overnight visit to Maine. #ogunquit #newengland

How Kristian Campbell became a “perfect storm of a guy to come out of nowhere” for the Red Sox - thanks to the combined advocacy of scouts, analysts, and the player development department - in the 2023 draft www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/17/s...

@npr.org interviewed a @harvard.edu Harvard professor doing medical research, potentially life saving stuff. Asked about how he felt about #Harvard taking a stand, which led to $20 million of fed funding for his lab being paused - responded "I'm proud to be a Harvard professor". Nice!

Glad to see my alma mater did the right thing here. Granted, Harvard has the resources to do it, so really needed to step up if we expect others to do so as well. As others have reminded here, #Harvard can't just tap the endowment to plug gaps created by the loss of federal funds. #highered
