New here? Every week I scour listings, feeds, and emails - and bring you the best of the best of the weekend's events in #Boston . I live in #somervilleMA, so what I highlight skews local to me, but I'll include anything in #NewEngland if its worth the trip.

If my thread is useful, help share the word - boost and like the events that you think are cool - and when you're talking up the Fediverse to your pals, consider mentioning that we do projects like this one here, because your neighbors deserve nice things.

#BettyWhite now has her own #ForeverStamp from the #USPS , thanks to Boston-area artist #DaleStephanos .

It took him about a year to design and complete. At the request of Betty's family, he included references to her work championing the cause of #AmimalRights , the most obvious symbol being the pawprint earring.

Stephanos' image of Betty brilliantly captures her sense of mischief and fun, by perfectly portraying her joyful smile and sparkling eyes.

#BettyWhiteStamps are now available for purchase through the U.S. Postal Service.

In response, Petrova said she feared political persecution & was then sent to a #detention facility.

…It gets worse….

On Tues evening a masked group abducted a woman off the streets of #Boston. They wore no uniforms. Their faces were covered.…

The woman being abducted is #RumeysaOzturk, a #Tufts University grad student & Turkish national w/a valid #StudentVisa. She does not appear to have been charged w/any crimes. The US govt merely says that her student #visa has been *revoked* because she “supported Hamas,” but declined to give further details.
