*NOW* Saturday til 2pm, Hands Off Protest in #Boston - weather not completely trash(!) - feels like 42, dress for standing in wet grass in the rain should it start to come down. Have a backup plan should you get separated from your protest-buddy, and for getting home if, say, there's too many people for the subway.
Are you goin to a protest today? #uspol #BostonWeekend 25/x

Sunday 1-4 Amazing #Archaeology Fair @ #Harvard in #CambridgeMA
"Venture on archaeological expeditions around the world in this annual event for all ages. Talk with #archaeologists who study ancient Egyptians, Incas, prehistoric peoples, and others. Try ancient cuneiform writing and use an app that animates detailed wall art in Assyrian palaces. Discover cave art made by Neanderthals and other early humans, and learn how mummies’ names reveal secrets of Egyptian “tomb recycling.” Discover these and other surprises during this popular event.
Regular museum admission rates apply. Free event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage.
Presented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology, the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East, and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture."

Oi! What the dickens is this thread anyhow?
Well, I'm Knizer, and I started compiling interesting #boston events as a way to self-motivate exploring my beloved and vibrant #NewEngland and called it #bostonWeekend here, because why not share it with my neighbors? Its become my little #hyperlocal content-generating project to help me meet some neighbors (you're all lovely) and gives me something to talk about when I'm bragging about our lower-stress, no advertisement, social media lifestyle here on the #fediverse
No algorithm - you've got to post, boost, or like stuff, its the #CategoricalImperative of the fedi, that, hope, and some trans and/or furry server admins keep this place running.
Anyway, rock on, #Massachusetts and surrounds.
