knizerNew to the thread? I take a look at different events calendars for things going on in <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/NewEngland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewEngland</a> and compile the highlights. This is my little 'community building' project, because we should have nice things here.My focus is primarily on things close to home for me - <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/SomervilleMA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SomervilleMA</a> primarily and the <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/greaterBoston" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#greaterBoston</a> region too - but if I know about something big going in <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/Vermont" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vermont</a> or <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/Maine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Maine</a>, I'll let you know about it. Suggestions and recommendations are welcome! Follow me or the BostonWeekend tag to keep this in your feed every week.

ts 🚉For those in <a href="https://thepit.social/tags/greaterBoston" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#greaterBoston</a>, I’m wondering if you can recommend a loose-leaf tea supply?
