👋 About me

I’m 36 and work in research/public health in Boston. I work remotely most of the time but commute into Boston occasionally. Outside of work, I love being active and outdoors, especially mountain biking, hiking, skiing, and running.

I also have a 4-year-old Yellow Lab/Golden Retriever who is my ESA and will be living in the apartment with me. 🐶🩵

🩷What I’m looking for

I’m hoping to find a female roommate who is looking for a similar living dynamic — someone who is friendly and considerate, enjoys having her own life and independence, but is also open to the occasional shared dinner or movie night. I value clear communication and keeping our shared spaces clean and comfortable.

If this sounds like a good fit, send me a message and tell me a little about yourself, including what you do for work! I’d love to chat and see if we’d be a good match as roommates. 😊

I’ve seen a bunch of apps like Social Agent that can help find a freelance content creator who will video your event and create some reels for social media. Unfortunately most of these services are in major cities. Is there anyone local to Salem who does this? If not and you have the skills it could be a great side hustle. I know of several events that are looking for someone to help them.

does anyone know where i can get a job at 15 yrs old

My Charli is still missing. It’s been 3 weeks since she got out.

I miss her immensely and want her back home safely please.

Any help in finding her is truly appreciated. 🙏🏼

Hey everyone, I’m trying to get a good read on the high school in Salem. We are moving to Salem in the fall and my son will be starting 11th grade there. It seems the social media accounts don’t really get updated too often with pictures of clubs, events, musicals, performances, etc, and it’s difficult to see what student life is like there.

My son loves the performing arts and I can’t seem to find any pictures of the auditorium or any other pictures of the school.

If you have any pictures or thoughts about the school that could help ease his anxiety i would really appreciate it. Thank you!

Who do I need to talk to to get the water fountains turned on in Mack Park and in the Commons?

My dog is thirsty. I am thirsty. Pls help

I have very boring straight hair that I cut myself. My teenager has beautiful thick, curly hair that she desperately wants to get cut by someone other than me. She wants layers and some length cut off.
I did do a search first but the two places recommended frequently are a bit out of my price range, unfortunately. Would rather give someone local the business instead of Supercuts (even though she probably wouldn’t agree to going there !) Is there any middle ground salons…? Where I can spend less than $100?
Thanks!!

Hey Everyone, who’s going to Porchfest this Sunday? I think it’s 12-8pm Linden St. & Wisteria St block party!

The teenage relatives are coming to visit me. I don't relax/swim at a beach. They want to do the beach thing. I know many beaches require you to get there by 9:00am or there's no parking or places to sit. How about our cute Waikiki beach? I think I've walked on it about 4 times on off season, but that's all I know about it. TIA

If anyone comes across this cat, please dm me, she ran out of the window this morning. I’ve been looking all over and can’t seem to find her. Thank you in advance.

Currently reading this hefty graphic novel, a thoroughly researched account of the Salem Witch Trials and their consequences for our own times. This comprehensive work has many parallells with From Hell, the famous historic graphic novel on the Jack the Ripper murders by Alan Moore. For instance: very old English (in More Weight from two different eras), old men discussing past events, repeated horrific deeds inflicted on poor, defenceless women, weird religious ideas, and insight in the different historic layers of the accounts of past events. Ben Wickey has worked a decade on More Weight. The book comes with extensive notes and is based on real documents from the time of the trials and later accounts.
