A chance for some minor snow Sunday, especially toward the South Coast. Ensemble odds of 1"+ shown
I'd say a coin flip at the moment whether Boston gets anything measureable
Running out of time for snow chances before Christmas. No opportunities next week.

Really don’t think I was prepared for the aging process. Was used to having a body I could trust to keep up with what I want to do, staying in the shape I want without effort.
Now I get exhausted easily, aches, pains. My body has extra “curves”; I don’t know how to dress.

Amazon is making money off AI copies of books - and putting the onus on authors to prove they’ve been plagiarised.
Honestly, just stop buying books from Amazon. Get them from an actual bookshop or order them from a reputable book supplier like bookshop.org

On this National Christmas Card Day we are pleased to share, from the Library's special collections, a copy of the first commercial Christmas card. It's from 1843, the same year “A Christmas Carol" was published. Both helped establish the Victorian concept of Christmas. blogs.loc.gov/loc/2019/12/...

I am tired of being lectured about "breast is best," especially by men. Some people can't breastfeed. Others might be able to, but we don't need to be "encouraged" by the government to do so.
We need healthcare, we need paid leave, we need true legal protections to breastfeed in every kind of job.
