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.

Acheter chez un disquaire local, c’est minimiser les impacts négatifs sociaux, environnementaux et économiques de l’industrie. En encourageant les labels indépendants via les disquaires, vous soutenez avant tout les artistes locaux. Nos disquaires connaissent la musique d’ici mieux que personne et leurs conseils sont précieux.

Let's get Business out of the way for the new - each week I scamper around the internet sussing out wonderful #boston area events. I live in #SomervilleMA so I'm partial to things going on in my neighborhood specifically, but anything worth traveling to in #NewEngland lands in this thread.
I dunno if anybody else on the fedi does #hyperlocal calendar listings like this, its my weekly project to help build community, because my neighbors should have nice things. Also, when you're talking up Mastodon etc, talk this project up, tell your peers how you keep finding cool stuff to go to here, and tell the bands and show organizers that you found about the event right here in the fediverse. This whole thing runs on word of mouth, so a boost and a like really helps, savvy?

The very excellent Lichfield Live - @news - has launched a new, local free newspaper in Lichfield and Burntwood.
As with many towns, Burntwood has had no local paper for years. Lichfield has fared a little better, but not much.
I've been Lichfield Live "adjacent" since the start, having been friends with the founders since the early days of Twitter.

Three copies of The Lichfield & Burntwood Independent fanned out on a carpet. There's 2 main headline that read "Changes made to pedestrianisation" and "Bold electric taxi plans needed, says councillor.

Small #hyperlocal festivals like wyrdfest.co.uk are trying hard to keep faith with the DIY spirit, dragging souls out of the shadows, putting on bizarre & experimental & (sometimes) difficult artists in strange non-aligned spaces; several people have already said how surprised they were that we were putting this festival on HERE (of all places) when, really, this is the only place we COULD put it on. #diymusic #festival

« L’information ne devrait pas être une business comme l’industrie automobile ou les compagnies d’assurance. L’information est un bien public. L’information devrait être considérée de la même façon que l’on considère nos routes, nos aqueducs, nos écoles : des biens publics essentiels pour la société. Et de ce fait, avoir un financement public.

Je ne sais pas combien de médias devront disparaitre avant que les gens comprennent à quel point c’est toute la société qui y perd.»
