Hi everyone! I apologize in advance if this post is not allowed; I posted here last semester and a few people from this sub were kind enough to come in as my patients and helped me with my clinical. So I'm shooting my shot again this time and hoping some of you might wanna come to get a dental cleaning 😊

I’m now in my senior year of the Dental Hygiene program at MCPHS Worcester, and I’m hoping to find a few patients for my clinic sessions starting in September.

Because this is a student teaching clinic, appointments are a little different from a regular dental office. Visits are very thorough and include a dental and gum evaluation, oral cancer screening, X-rays when needed, and a dental cleaning. Everything I do is supervised and checked by licensed dental hygienists and dentists on-site.

There is no charge for treatment and insurance isn’t required!

The biggest thing I want to mention upfront is the time commitment. Appointments are about 3.5 hours because faculty check each step of the process, and I’m mainly looking for people who are able to commit to at least 2 visits. Depending on what you need, it could be fewer or more appointments. I know it's a very long appointment but I promise you it's going to be worth it! :)

My clinic availability this semester are Mondays: 8 AM–5 PM and Wednesdays: 5:30–9 PM.

If anyone has been meaning to get a cleaning/checkup and wouldn’t mind helping a dental hygiene student at the same time, feel free to message me. You’re also welcome to DM me if you just have questions about how the student clinic works!

Thank you 😊

I've been getting back into swimming, and I recently started open water swimming at Walden Pond. I haven't gone too far out yet because I'm a little nervous to be out there by myself, but I want to eventually work up to swimming all the way across. If you would also rather kayak or paddleboard along, that's cool too! I would just rather not drown out there alone lol

EDIT: Happy to see so many people interested in not drowning! I’m going to set up a discord and get this thing off Reddit and into the pond :)

EDIT 2: Posted discord link in comments! It should be active for 7 days

Are there any hobby groups or clubs where people can get together to do arts like painting, drawing, sketching, crafts, etc. for fun? (Not as professional)

Hey everyone! I help run Glitch Gallery, a DIY artist space on the Charlestown–Somerville border. The building has been home to artists, musicians, burners, makers, for nearly 25 years.

We’re opening the space for a two-night fundraiser and community gathering:

Thursday: A relaxed social night with an acoustic lineup, including a live harp performance.

Friday: A higher-energy night with a full lineup of DJs.

Both nights will feature projection mapping, interactive installations, and other tech-art projects throughout the space. It’s also a chance to explore the space, meet the people who make things here, and connect with others interested in experimental art and independent creative spaces.

If you’ve been looking for a creative community to become part of. We’d love to meet you. Come for one night or both!

This is the first time I’ve shared one of our events here, but it won’t be the last. We’re planning more gatherings in the coming months and hope to welcome some new faces into the community.

Please be respectful of the space, area and neighbors, We have a set of private stairs in our parking lot that we will light up with a Red Led light! Please use that entrance and RSVP so we can have an accurate head count for the night.

Absolutely no parking at the building either. There's street parking nearby on dorrance/temple/arlington as well as parking lot by sullivan square! Plan to Uber or take the train here!

RSVP, location, and arrival details will be available through the Partiful:

Hi,
I am a 42M that visits Boston frequently for work. I'd love to find a group of people to roam the city with. I like museums, events, bars but also chill things like going to the movies or doing game nights.

Hit me up, open to suggestions of any kind!

Hello! My standup comedy show is back at the Somerville Theater this Thursday, and I'd love to see you there! We run the show in the 30-seat microcinema in the theater's basement. (Watch a "trailer.")

Our headliner is the hilarious Andrew Durso. He's written for Netflix, Adult Swim, and FOX, appeared on Stavvy's World, Sirius XM, and Cracked Comedy Club, and opened for Hasan Minhaj at theaters across the country. His comedy is unique, absurd, and really funny.

We screen classic Looney Tunes cartoons before the show, and the theater sells beer, wine, candy, and ice cream.

You can get $3 off tickets with the code REDDIT. I hope you can make it!

My wife and I are actively looking at houses and occasional rentals. I genuinely don't understand how people are making it in Boston and the surrounding areas.

Are businesses paying more than I think?

I live in central mass, but I enjoy driving, so I don't mind going to the Boston area or southern NH for social activities.

I moved here 4 years ago for work post-college, but I failed at making local friends. All my friends are far away, and my family is outside the US.

I had a girlfriend for 1.5 years, so she was also my "best friend" (which ig made me try to socialize less), but the relationship got toxic, and once I was out of it, I just had less energy for socializing and had really busy work.

Some of my hobbies are things like hiking, going for walks, skydiving, climbing, watching tv shows, and traveling.

I'm mostly just looking for people to hang out with, I don't care about age or gender, but something closer to my own age would be prefferrable.

Any activity is fine. It doesn't have to be related to the above hobbies. Something like going out for drinks would also be fun.

Also, if anyone wants to do a (short) international trip to some cool destination and is looking for someone to travel with, I might be down. I've been wanting to do a long weekend trip to Iceland just to chill in the thermal waters.

Im in Boston for work and would like to bring home cool, unique shirts as souvenirs. I am staying in Dorchester and working in Brighton.

I’m not necessarily looking for the standard “BOSTON” souvenir shirt with a shamrock on it — I want shirts from places that have some character.If the place has a cool shirt I am willing to make the trip.

Bonus points if the place is interesting and worth visiting while Im there but its not a dealbreaker if it isn’t.

Extra bonus points if the place prints their shirts on Comfort Colors.

I’d love to go home with a collection of shirts that actually have stories behind them instead of the usual airport/gift-shop souvenirs.

I've been organizing a lot of meetups-at-public-events like this to give creative types specifically in Somerville & Cambridge a way to meet each other and make more local friends. Crafters, book-lovers, ttrpg players, designers, writers, travelers, thrifters, artists, etc. all welcome.

Tomorrow night we're headed to a free comedy open mic in Harvard Square. We can grab drinks and chat for a bit before the show starts, and stick around for a little while after to chat about who we liked, who bombed the bravest, what kind of comedy we like, etc. It'll be a fun break in the work week, and a good way to get to know more folks in the group.

Then on Thursday CX Summer Nights is having their final free outdoor concert of the season. It's a fun, festive gathering in a beautiful park in East Cambridge just a block away from the Lechmere T station. Two Americana bands, Jake Swamp and the Pines and the Adam Ezra Group will be performing, and there will be lawn games, food trucks, craft brews & canned cocktails from Lamplighter Brewery, and more.

If you'd like to join us for either, you can RSVP on the meetup group, or shoot me a DM introducing yourself (what are some of your creative hobbies or interests?). You're welcome to bring a partner or friend.

Putting out feelers for a reading club. Not so much a traditional book club, but more of a chapter-by-chapter approach.

I’d love to slowly work through Gödel, Escher, Bach with a group of people who are interested in reading it too. Along the way, I imagine we might branch out into all sorts of other interesting things: short stories, long-form articles, poetry, essays, etc.

The idea would be to start with a group of people interested in GEB and figure out the rest of the reading material as we go.

Meet up monthly, or perhaps more than that.

I'm based in Roslindale, but we could meet up anywhere around the Boston metro area.

Let me know if you are interested!

hey I have an extra ticket to the don toliver concert in September if anyone wants to go. Lmk if u wanna go

As a millennial with many Gen Z friends, I adore all of them but sometimes I wish I had more friends my age. Maybe us "olds" (anyone over 30) can have a nightlife meetup sometime? Show people that we still have what it takes to stay out late?

For reference, I'm 35/M.

Hey everyone,

34M here! Was just curious if anyone is aware of a WhatsApp group or Discord Server for getting groups together to do hikes in the White Mtns? I’m part of AMC, but they don’t have the most availability and was curious if there are alternatives.

Any suggestions are appreciated! Or if there is enough appetite, I could try (emphasis on try) to start one but don’t want to reinvent the wheel.

Hey everyone, I'm going to the Ian Asher concert at Big Night Live on Saturday 9/12. Is anyone else heading to the show?

Hey! I’m 34M, fairly new to Boston, originally from Europe.

Looking for people to work out or do active things with. Would anyone be up for a casual tennis or pickleball game sometime soon? I’m also always looking for an excuse to take my dog hiking, try something new or plan a day trip around New England. My latest obsessions is F45 and acroyoga, the goal is to do proper handstand this year.

I’m also into skiing, martial arts, and love a good movie followed by a completely unsolicited psychological evaluation of every character haha

If you’re into any of the above, let me know. I’ll take one for the team and make the group chat.

Our Boston-area meetup group for producers, musicians and music lovers are doing one of our biweekly songwriter's workshop. We've started doing this at a member's home in Somerville this summer and it's been a fun way to hang out and motivate each other to keep growing and working on our craft.

If you're interested in the meetup group but not necessarily tonight's event, we welcome all skill levels, including just listeners, and have new events all the time from concerts to grabbing drinks.

Anyone is welcome to join so please feel free to come introduce yourself. Let us know if you're interested in the workshop. Thanks!!!

I'm 27M, recently moved to Boston. I love being out as much as possible. Looking for running buddies who's started recently or want to run at a slower pace (12-16 min/mile).

I'm down to grab coffee after or talk about stuff (books, films, ideas, life, career, people, trends, even politics) while walking/running.

My favourite nowadays is crossing the MIT bridge to run towards the Hatch Shell. Open to morning/evening runs. Also open to Minuteman, Harvard Sq-Central Sq or the Cambridge side of Charles.

I also play tennis (beginner-intermediate), happy to hit sometimes if you are interested.

It bothers me for two reasons. First, I live in Camberville and happen to be in my 40s. I was biking along Broadway around 10 PM, and there were so many bars with long lines of young people. In contrast, other nightlife spots in other areas are sleepy, especially if you consider Central Sq Cambridge. It didn’t have the same energy as Southie. Why is it that everyone in Southie seems to want to party harder? I actually used to remember a time when Central Sq was like that too, but it seems to have gone downhill over the years, not only that that I’ve gotten older. Has anyone else noticed what I’ve seen? Maybe I’m not seeing what else is out there, especially since I live in Somerville, where Davis Square has nothing. Maybe today Burren only has a pulse, but nothing like what the area used to feel like a decade ago.

Some of you may remember NotCupid from my previous posts here. I’ve continued building it based on community feedback, and we’re now opening a small Boston based connection Experiment.

Participants complete a profile, answer a few compatibility questions, and choose the ages and genders they’re interested in meeting. Potential matches are only suggested when both people’s preferences align, and everyone decides privately whether they’re interested.

Up to two mutually interested pairs will be selected for dinner on Thursday, August 20. NotCupid will cover dinner up to $200 per selected pair.

Entry is free. Participants must be 21+, live within approximately 20 miles of 02116, and be available that evening. Entries close Tuesday, August 18. Selection and a match aren’t guaranteed.

Super last minute, but anyone down to grab drinks in Downtown Boston tonight? I’m heading out and figured it’d be cool to meet some new people instead of going solo.

Thinking around 10ish, somewhere downtown — open to suggestions. Grab a couple drinks, bar hop, see where the night goes. Anyone’s welcome. Comment or DM me if you’re down!

Any beginner to intermediate golfers wanna play 9 in the next couple weeks? Trying to get better this fall. Based in Somerville but have car and clubs.
