@MBTA please tell everyone honestly how long it’s gonna be rather than continually saying five minutes five minutes five minutes. If it’s gonna be half an hour to say half an hour.
@wbznewsradio please broadcast that the MBTA is doing a lousy job. Right now there’s a disabled train and they just keep making hundreds of people wait at South Station. It’s embarrassing.
Since George T. Andreou ’87 became the press’s director in 2017, staff alleged — in interviews, surveys, and letters to Harvard officials — that he belittled employees and mismanaged the publishing house.

Our incredible daughter Liz died in the early hours of this morning. She remained determined to the last. Even yesterday she was still making plans. We are so very proud of the kindness, empathy and courage she has shown in the last year. She was not only a phenomenal photographer, she was the best human, and the most wonderful daughter and big sister we could ever have asked for. No one could have fought harder for life than she did. There is a gaping Liz shaped hole in our lives that I am not sure how we will ever fill. We have so much gratitude to every single one of you, whether you offered to help, or liked or shared posts - you ensured Liz’s last two months were her very best. She flew high until the end.
We have two last favours to ask. Firstly, we would like to ask you to share one of her photos - on your social media, or in real life, however you can. Let’s let her go out with a bang. #LizHatton (photos will follow in a thread but do also feel free to choose your own from @lizhatton_photography on Instagram)
Secondly, if you can we would like you to help us with a mission to raise money to fund research into Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumour. With no charity in the UK or internationally funding into effective treatments are lacking. In 2024 a 15% 5 year survival rate is simply not enough. Together we can change that. Whether you can share, donate or raise funds - please be our village one more time. Let’s make this the last item on her bucket list and make sure other families don’t face a similar fate: https://t.co/iSsJO83LLs
Diane Ravitch is the patron saint for those of us trying to follow data and evidence—and our own moral compass—away from a right-wing education reform agenda.
I’m honored 🙏
This young lady, Coco, just completed her final chemo treatment. On the drive home from the hospital, friends in the neighborhood surprised her with a parade. 👍
