There are four spherical lamps with large white globes with a black grid pattern. The globes are otherwise covered in a translucent white fabric in the foreground there are some empty tables and chairs with a scalloped blue pattern on the short wall behind them

My superpower is noticing castoff castiron on the sidewalk as I bike by. This is the fourth piece I’ve found in the last year or so. I was just talking with my daughter and said ‘the missing thing I need is a cornstick pan, wouldn’t it be funny if I found one!’ And last night…. #castiron #biketooter

Lots of drains looking like this in Cambridge right now with all the leaves that are coming down. Unplugged the dirt plugs in the holes and tried to move leaves out of the gutter, but the streets are full of them right now so I wonder if we’ll get some flooding w/ the rain. #mawx #cambridgema
A street drain completely blocked with leaves and dirt and garbage The same grate with the leaves and other debris removed. It is a 6 x 6 matrix of holes in an iron grate.

Lanterns in front of bands playing in a park at night. It is dark and there are glowing Christmas lights draped around people, shoulders, and cats.

I was getting a check up today and encountered a new SCP in the wild.
Sign on the wall that says “please pardon the chirping noise you hear. It is mechanical equipment in the next room that poses no risk. Thank you.

Sun rays and dark clouds over Walden Pond. #concordma #walden
Bright rays of sunshine come out of the sky, there are modeled clouds with bright and dark parts in the top part of the image, a ring of trees goes around Waldin pond. They are very dark almost hard to see individual trees, the bottom part is the water of the pond sun bright very shiny, reflecting the sun others are dark. A photo of Waldin Pond, broken into four strips the top strip is a dark, cloudy, stormy sky. The next strip down is the dark trees ringing the lake, the next strip down is the water of the lake, dark near the edge of the trees, turning to bright white reflection as it gets to the last strip, which is the Sandy shore

My superpower is finding rusty cast-iron pans on the street. My latest find was these two super large Lodge pans. I did a quick vinegar bath and then a steel wool scrub and four rounds in the oven to season them. A little splotchy still, but they’ll even out with some use.
A rusty cast-iron skillet A rusty cast-iron deep pan The same skillet cleaned up and reused. There are some splotches still on the frying pan surface. The deep cast-iron cleaned up and reused sitting on a gas stove

Took a nice hike around the Middlesex fells reservation today. Printed a list of the closest repeaters & tested from the reservoir. I used the repeater map from www.nerepeaters.com and also the off-line repeater book app on my phone to make the list and get the distances. #hamr #hamradio

I thought something was burning in or near the house but it’s the fact the air quality just shot up over 150! #cambridgema #mawx #aqi #smoke
A screenshot from the purple air service showing air quality readings on a map. This is a map of the Cambridge and Somerville area of Massachusetts. There are red dots representing air quality readings. The dots are red showing that the air quality is above 150, Most readings are in the 150s or 160s range.

Wikipedia 2256: The ancient Americanos had complex funeral rites and prepared their bodies for eternity through the use of a lifelong embalming process including the ritualistic consumption of micro and macro plastics, forever chemicals and heavy metals. While it was once believed this was an unintended side effect of their industrial processes, we now know this was an intentional religious sacrament.
