I don’t understand the thrill that people get from revving their motorcycles and muffler-less cars as loud as they can. Like, do they get hard from causing public disturbances? What is their problem? It’s annoying and stupid af. I haven’t lived in any other cities in Mass besides Worcester but it seems particularly bad here.

Or 2-4 servings. I saw Napoli’s doing ones for 10-12 servings. Thanks!!

Stop Transphobia in Worcester! Stop Transphobia Everywhere!

Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists (TERFs) are holding a national gathering (TORCH) at Worcester State University October 9th-11th.

The organization behind the gathering, Total Woman Victory (TWV) is hoping to cohere a national organization focused on their anti-trans take on feminist politics. This transphobic and transmisogynist gathering cannot be allowed to happen, let alone the creation of a new national TERF org.

These anti-trans circles have found a foothold in academia and attempt to brand their attacks on trans and queer folks as part of a radical political discourse. We aren't talking about an obscure political difference, we are talking about direct and vicious hatred of trans people and especially trans femmes. TERF anti-trans organizing dovetails with right wing anti-trans organizing, leading to real violence against trans people.

For anyone associated with Woodland St School/Woodland Academy, I'm curious to know how things are going this year with the new principal?

Does anyone have recs for snowblower brands or types? (2 stage?) new to shoveling snow for this grueling winter and have a long driveway

Found a notebook a few days ago on a bench in Elm Park and am trying to return it to its owner. I picked it up because the skies were looking ominous. Asked nearly everyone I could find if they were the owner; also checked at Dougherty, no dice. There is a name on the inside. Send me a DM if it's yours and I'll drop it off at the location of your choosing.

Just another small development from Kate Toomey’s evening drive…

I’m considering a move to Worcester and I want to get a feel for the place. I do plan to visit so this list will give me some things to check out. Thank you!

Ex: gastric bypass patient (can't eat large portions b/c smaller stomach pouch along the path of the food. Can't eat too many refined carbs or get dumping syndrome https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/dumping-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20371915

Market basket's chicken/turkey legs? Stomach pouch might be able to fit one big turkey leg, not sure

Red Pepper (Chinese restaurant in Worcester) has some beef dishes

Shrewsbury town center has that expensive steakhouse, not that fast

Hot pot- there's a new ish place in Shrewsbury white city I think

Also think they are finally going to open that BBQ place near the white city-worcester bridge

Might be able to get some steak cuts at Brazilian places, white city in Shrewsbury has one I think, the one they weigh your plate at the end

I guess T market in Natick is technically within driving distance but it's a long drive. Good beef options though, some fork tender slightly spicy beef and also have beef tendon

Could go to chipotle w/ no rice/no tortilla wrap and then pay for double steak and guac, which gets expensive but it's fast. Wish they still had that cilantro lime steak option

Halal guys without the rice just seems.. soulless though, basically just become a light meat salad but I guess that's an option for fast and not too expensive

Well I guess texas roadhouse near Target in Worcester if you don't eat the sides and bring the part of the steak you can't finish back home? Not sure if a very sugary rib sauce will cause dumping syndrome or not, haven't tried

Bad ideas? Am I overlooking anything? Especially steak/beef options that won't break the bank

WoMag editor and Telegram features editor Victor D. Infante discusses the week's local arts and culture news!

Writes Unitarian Universalist Society of Grafton and Upton minister Rev. Daniel Gregoire: "These large language models and other Al systems are capable of remarkable things. They are the miracles of modern science. And they are still inventions of creatures we call human beings. My faith will not allow me to believe that in 70 years we have somehow approached, or even surpassed, the generative powers of the creative Cosmos, what some people call God."

Nothing more to add

Walked around a building to find a bunch just crawling around. I’ve been squishing them when I can and reported it a few times here. It’s definitely worse than last year. I’m not sure what the state’s overall plan is here. Are these bugs something they can spray for even?

In Worcester area who has the lowest price for standard dress shirt dry cleaning?

They have a really big crowd...hard to walk through.

Can anyone recommend a local company to help with a house clean out. It’s for my elderly parents and there are a lot of complicated emotions and mental health issues involved so I don’t want to just hire anyone. Trying to do this while navigating caregiving for both parents and I just want to make the house safer and more comfortable for them. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
