Just realized my speakers are playing "splish splash, I love bath time.” This is supposed to be a @Spotify playlist of my favorite songs of the year.

@AutumnAAllen Thanks Autumn! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

The only downside of #VoteByMail is there is no “I voted” sticker!

[L Stephens @LStephens47]

Thanks for making it so easy to vote on my schedule @SomervilleCity & to track whether my ballot was rec’d @SecretaryofMass.

There should be no excuse for low voter turnout anymore. I really don’t understand folks who don’t make time to vote & then complain about politics later

[L Stephens @LStephens47]

Typo! “Win,” not “will.”
(Looks like I need that Twitter edit button. But not enough to pay for it…)

Well, I didn’t will #Powerball, but I found a folded crisp dollar bill on the ground. I’ll take whatever luck I can find…

There is no such thing as daylight savings time for parents of young toddlers…

This map of just about every European city really makes me miss traveling... (Hard to believe that I haven't been on a plane since prior to the pandemic...)

Day before Halloween = parents’ arts & crafts time

A text message from my husband… who swears it really was just random

@jbp19 Exactly! Except your desk is neater & better decorated than mine…

Thank you @MBTA for listening to rider feedback & letting us keep some of the bus routes that were on the chopping block.

Apparently #Somerville residents were some of the least supportive of the proposed #BetterBusProject redesign overhaul. I'm relieved our voices were heard.

My son adores #RuthForman's book GLOW, so I enjoyed reading this interview. I just returned the library book after several renewals & plan to buy him his own copy. He's drawn to the moon & bubbles, while I appreciate the poetry & introducing him to characters of different races.

"I hope to help instill in young children a sense of joy, celebration, self-worth, and self-love." This powerful interview with Ruth Forman, author of the board books CURLS and GLOW discusses the inspiration behind the board book series and more. https://t.co/WMSOxVv88g

I am eternally grateful to the Thomas J. Watson Foundation for the opportunity to travel and see the World. My Watson Fellowship was the most formative experience of my life. #WatsonFellowship #GlobalTravel #TravelQuotes

@6x6pix Bonnie what’s your take on a Midjourney image winning the Colorado State Fair’s art competition?

I just heard about an AI system that can generate realistic art from descriptive text prompts: https://t.co/pq4xJMJTUu. I'm intrigued, signed up for the waiting list, and look forward to playing with DALL.E 2. Currently scrolling through others' imaginative creations via #dalle2.

Today I emailed Facilities about faint moaning noises coming from my office fireplace, but it eventually stopped before anyone could come listen. Isn’t that always the way? Trying not to think about what might be living in chimney. Trapped animal? Ghost? Joys of old bldgs (1895)!

Powerful advice outside ⁦@OSCboston⁩

[L Stephens @LStephens47]

If my son (a toddler) throws out my "to do" list, my husband takes out the trash, and the recycling truck carts it away before I notice on Monday morning, then can I consider everything done?
