Hi #bostodon ! We are having a #boston Fediverse meetup TODAY!

Where: Trillium Garden on the Greenway (Atlantic Ave & High St, by Rowes Wharf)
- if you don’t drink you can bring your own nonalcoholic beverage, I’m bringing a few

I will have a poorly-crafted table tent that says #bostodon on it. Look for someone with bright orange and red hair.

My first ever little web app is live!
Trackmbta.app is a web app that can be "installed" on mobile devices. Like its name, it tracks MBTA trains so you can be smarter for your trips!
Features are:
- Live count down
- Live location of trains on the map (just in case you're curious where that damn train is that you're waiting forever...)
- Save your favorite stations locally for quick access
This web app cuts all the bullshit:
- No permission asked
- No data collected from you
If you are a red line commuter and see a ✨ on the app, you probably already know what it means! Those shiny new trains!

Try it and let me know what you think!

I am looking for a live-in #caretaker for my sister. She is autistic and nonverbal, but ambulatory and can perform basic functions on her own. However, she can't take care of herself--cook, clean, etc--and needs prompts for numerous things.
The position would be in a #Massachusetts suburb adjacent to #boston The salary is funded by a few programs; the bigger benefit might be free rent, given the cost of living in MA. She is in a day program during the week.

It's costing #Mass50501 around $100k to put on this Saturday's #Boston #NoKings event. None of this goes to the organizers, who are volunteers; it all goes to pay for the AV setup, the stage, and other hard expenses necessary to throw a major rally attended by thousands of people.
If you can, please chip in at <https://givebutter.com/NoKingsBoston> to help pay for the event. There's currently a 2x match, so every $1 you give pays for $3 of expenses.
