SA at CPS?

21 Upvotes

So what up with the sexual assaults at Cambridge Public Schools? How can we support the victim(s) and anyone know which school that it is? I am a survivor and this breaks my heart to read because I know how badly these investigations often go (look at Cornell) so these children need all the support that we can give them.

Politics If your mail-in ballot is missing part 2 of 2, the Election Commission can help

23 Upvotes

From https://www.cambridgema.gov/departments/electioncommission/news/2026/10/noticeregardingmailinballotsforstateelection:

It has come to the attention of the Election Commission that some pre-made vote-by-mail ballot packets from the Commonwealth may have contained two page one ballots, rather than page one and page two. If you are one of those recipients, please contact the Election Commission at 617-349-4361 or [elections@cambridgema.gov](mailto:elections@cambridgema.gov), and a staff member will be available to provide support.

As an aside, given how close we are to the election, I would personally suggest returning mail-in ballots with the city's drop boxes, so you're not at the mercy of USPS: https://www.cambridgema.gov/departments/electioncommission/earlyvoting/ballotdropboxes

Inquiry Hit and Run off of Rindge

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I just recently moved to north Cambridge and had a frustrating experience with my car’s left rear view mirror being completely broken off in a hit and run while parked in front of my apartment (I was inside and didn’t see until it was too late). I filed a police report last week but the officers have been honest that things likely won’t move forward.

Does anyone who lives close to Rindge and Alewife station have any Ring doorbells or security cameras that may have caught something? I’ll take any help that I can get!

Where can I find, or create, a pile of leaves?

5 Upvotes

All the leaves on the ground are getting me nostalgic for a time when I'd jump into a pile of leaves, which I'd love to recreate for my kid. But I think if I raked up a public park, they'd get upset at me if I didn't clear it before we left. Where do you suppose I can gather a pile of leaves to accumulate in this city?

And would anyone like to help me rake?

Today, We tackle the nine questions on the ballot, with a special focus on the good government focused questions #1, #3, and #4. To help us, we brought the executive director of Act on Mass, the MA's leading transparency advocacy organization to explain why they're endorsing "yes" on #1 and #4 and "no on "3"

"What's That About?" answers folks' burning questions about issues affecting greater Cambridge. Plus, it's funny, sometimes. Funny like how Beacon Hill is once again trying to flout the will of the people by severely limiting the scope of the popular public records ballot question.

Discussion Stop the Mimetic Swam Against Our Neighbor

• Upvotes

There is someone orchestrating a campaign against a vulnerable member of our community across social media platforms by "othering" them. Calling it bullying would be an understatement, as it's more akin to what Girard would label a mimetic swarm. 

The campaign persists, despite the intended target clearly being pushed further into isolation and potential harm by the gossip and slander. 

When folks try to redirect the energy--they also get attacked and even doxxed.

Cambridge, we can be better than this. 

When people are experiencing mental health crisis--it is not the time to band together to make life harder for them by concern trolling and abusing the system to essentially swat them. Over analyzing and attacking every word from them. Further threatening their sense of safety. 

At this point, a number of people are essentially beating a struggling person on the ground with bats because they didn't "get help" the way a bunch of strangers who don't understand the intricacies of the situation insist. 

It would be great for folks to focus any concerned energy on educating yourself on mental illness, cycles of abuse, CPTSD, and how to be a good community member to people who struggle.  

Help your neighbors by educating yourself. 

ETA: the person being targeted this time is Sally Tran.

I'm talking about decorating windows with paintings of seasonal themes, etc.

Any art collectives in the area that specialize in staffing these kinds jobs? How do retail business owners find help with this kind of work?

I'm curious about both paid and unpaid work. Thank you!

Hey everyone

Im looking for a thrift store around that may have some vintage fur coats. I dont want any new fur because its out of my budget and doesnt really feel right, but I feel like thrifting one instead of buying a polyester one.

Are there any places you might recommend?

Is anyone else extremely concerned about Sally at this point? She has been reposting things all night on Facebook suggesting that her boys will lose her to suicide. It seems like Cambridge care team has been checking up on her but she is deemed to be “fine” (her words)? Just not sure what we can do to help as general members of the public at this point.
