Guild Church (formerly Boston Brunch Church), 204 Elm Street, Somerville
(Note: the venue is theoretically accessible to those using mobility devices through the side entrance, but I would highly recommend arranging for someone to meet you at the door to navigate to the performance space.)
Our Spring 2024 show features three thrilling tales of adventure, The Most Dangerous Game, an original adaptation of Richard Connell's classic short story, the first episode of a new fantasy-adventure pastiche Townies and Dragons: Barrel Full of Peril, and the pirate adventure The Bonnie Tales of Captain Bellamy: Song of Trickery.
All PMRP productions are presented on stage in the style of old-time radio with actors at microphones and sound effects performed live by our talented Foley artists!

A rally will be happening at Powder House today at 5:30 PM in support of Rumeysa Ozturk, in response to her seizure by plainclothes, masked ICE agents outside her Somerville apartment. (CW: the embedded video in the second link is distressing).
jeweler's wire?
I tried Michaels earlier today, and they had 26-guage wire, but the only 28-guage wire was in tiny spools of assorted colors. I just want plain silver-colored wire.
Ideas?
Food pantry drop-off locations?

Three gooseberry bushes. I love the gooseberries, but a tree has shaded them over the years and they barely produce in the shade. They need a sunny spot (I currently have them in a 10' x 2' strip) where you can handle a plant with longish spines. Given the way our climate is these days, you could probably transplant them in fall or early spring; I'm happy to hold onto them until then. (They do require spring and summer maintenance to control sawfly; I'll tell you details if you want the plants.)
Red raspberry plants. The berries are great, we just are planting different things in the spot. We do have raspberry cane borers in the plants, but they're easy to control. Given the way our climate is these days, you could probably transplant them in fall or early spring; I'm happy to hold onto them until then. We absolutely have as many as you want. And more. Would you like more?
Two kits for building nested octagonal garden beds (two larger bases and smaller tops). Pros: Incredibly light plastic, easy to assemble, no tools needed (tongue and groove). Cons: Like to disassemble themselves slowly over the course of a year; we've been known to reinforce them with duct tape and sometimes rope. I can't find a great picture but you can probably extrapolate from this corner shot here. (It's the brown one with tiers and strawberries, not the big piece of bending black plastic.)
dentist?
Since I have to change dentists anyway, does anyone have a dentist they'd recommend. I'd like someone in Boston (ideally Allston-Brighton), Cambridge, Davis Square or elsewhere in Somerville, or Arlington, but anywhere near a T station would work.

jadelennox2023-12-28 03:36 pmfree to a good home: lateral file cabinet, kitchen-aid mixer
Edited to add: Someone has already claimed the kitchen-aid. Thanks!
Good condition wooden two-drawer lateral file cabinet. It's in great shape; I just need space so I went on a scan-and-shred spree. Free to the first person who can pick it up in east Arlington.
A Kitchen-Aid mixer (a 5-quart Artisan series cobalt blue KSM150PSBU), needs repairs. The deal with kitchen-aid small appliances is that kitchen-aid doesn't offer repair services for small appliances anymore (grr argh), and they're supposed to be user-serviceable. And they are! But not if you're a person with disabled hands. So I tried and failed to repair it, and gave up and replaced it, but I hate to waste a gorgeous kitchen-aid that should last decades. The repair options I know of are:Maaaaybe you can get it repaired by Kitchen-Aid? Their website still has the info to get a shipping kit for repairs. When I tried it a couple of years ago I ended up in phone rerouting hell and so I don't know if that service really still exists. But feel free to try!
Do it yourself. Requires buying the right grease, and having fine motor control and hand strength. There's an iFixit guide and tons of youtube videos, I'm just not strong enough to do it.
Taking it out for repairs. The closest place I can find that does small appliance repairs is Fix Masters in West Roxbury, and I can't drive. But if you drive and are regularly down there, that one seems super easy.
So the Kitchen-Aid is free to the first person who can pick it up in east arlington and also is intending to repair the mixer.
Historical costumers and clothing nerds?
It is in varying condition: some intact, some torn, some with little holes. I'm guessing its main value would be as examples to make patterns from.
Can anyone here point me toward any individuals or groups who might be interested? I know we have historical-clothing enthusiasts and re-creators around here, I just don't remember any contact info.
UPDATE Dec. 10: Upon examining the fancy Victorian clothes again, they are too fragile to wear. They are now being evaluated by a museum.
Sorry, everyone.
Book recommendation: Beyond the Neck
The first edition of the book was published in 1982, so before the Red Line extension into West Somerville. For that, some of the text is eerily prescient: Davis Square developed as a neighborhood with good access to transit into downtown Boston, except in the 1870s it was horsecar service and steam trains connecting to the Boston and Lowell. It was interesting reading how much of the city was developed a little earlier than I had thought, more in the 1880s than post-1900, unless you get into the untamed wilderness beyond Teele Square, which did remain farmland until fairly late.
If you're at all into local history, I found this really interesting. I'm not an architect and can't really tell the difference between Queen Anne and Shingle Style houses, but there are lots of pictures of things the research found historically significant (several of which are still standing!).
kids shoe stores (pref. discount)?
Her grandmother sends her shoes regularly, and mostly that's been enough for us, but I think she's at a point where we need to find her something that's a really good fit.
Thanks!

I have an unopened 20 ounce bag of Craisins which I didn’t realize until I got home contains sucralose, which gives me headaches. Free to a good home if you like dried cranberries & don’t mind sucralose.
Labor lawyer recommendations?
An offline friend wants someone to evaluate a severance agreement.
Any names or tips (or anti-recs) anyone can offer would be appreciated.

(Yes, confidential means parents/guardians will not be notified. I think this is a good idea, and I'm not going to argue about that.)
