New England, everywhere I look,

old letters crumble from the Book,

China trade rubble, one more line

unraveling from the dark design

spun by God and Cotton Mather—

our bel età dell' oro, another

bright thing thinner than a cobweb,

caught in Calvinism's ebb.

Beaches

Hey guys! I know there are always questions being asked about beaches and I tried to look through them all but it’s getting overwhelming. I typically visit Myrtle Beach mid to end of May, but we wanted to try something new. I know that it’s cooler and water is colder up North but could anyone suggest beaches in the New England states that are less rocky and more sandy? And maybe less busy? Any state, we aren’t picky. I just want a sandy beach to relax on.

Thank you!

Beautiful day for open windows and the hum of my neighbor’s leaf blower all day.

He’s out there multiple times a day blowing his yard, over and over again. Good thing or I might be able to hear my own thoughts. Anyways, Happy Halloween everyone!

There are other Salems that are as quiet as the one in Mass. on Halloween

I hear that Salem in Mass. is always crowded and packed and it's loud and creepy. Salem, in our state (CT), seems somewhat New Englandy and very peaceful. We bet kids will have a good time trick or treating in Salem with barely annoying noises coming from the other Salem.

I know of other Salems in New Hampshire and beyond.

Has the tick population impacted your love of the outdoors?

We currently live out west where we enjoy the great outdoors with minimal tick and mosquito exposure. My family loves hiking, camping, and even being barefoot in the grass.

As we consider a move to New England, I’m curious: will we still find the same joy in outdoor life? Has your outdoor lifestyle been effected by the worsening tick situation? or is it a different experience? I’d love to hear your thoughts

Fish tattoo

Hello, I'm an aquarist (zookeeper for aquariums) and I want to get tattoos of one animal from each system (like a tank, but can be multiple tanks that share pipes and motors) I have worked on. I want a pretty simple design that is realistic. I have an example but I don'tknow how to add it. I've been searching Instagrams and shops for an artist but at this point it's a bit frustrating. Does anyone know of any artists in southern New England or near Boston/Lowell?

Nature photography locations?

Hi all! I'm a photography student based in Lowell MA, and I'm working on a project where I photograph portraits in nature. I'm looking for somewhere with either very tall grasses (at least waist height) or forest with spread out trees with and minimal growth on the ground (I attached a pic for reference). Some of them will be nude, so I'm also looking for somewhere I'm not likely to run into other people, and I'm willing to drive as far as three hours from Lowell. If anyone has any recommendations, let me know! Thank you so much!!

Venues for local metal bands?

I went on Sunday to the very last show that Sammy's Patio in Revere would ever hold. The bill had a few local bands on it before a trio of touring acts played. The reason why I'm posting here is that I'd never heard of the venue before until I got a random FB ad for the show. I was thinking about it, and I'd like to be able to go see local metal bands do their thing and support the scene, but I'm not sure where all they play. I know of Ralph's in Worcester, but that's it. For context, I live in Rochester, NH, so trekking to Worcester frequently is a hike. What other venues are there that I can look at their calendars and plan some shows?

Pet doodle for your time?

Mods please take down or let me know if this suitable! I'm a student needing to get 30 people to take my survey in the next 2 hours in order to graduate :') I'm an artist so I'd love to doodle a sketch of your pets in return :3 Here's a little dinosaur sketch I did so u can get an idea of how I can draw :)

If you're 18-28 and from Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, or Connecticut, could you spare 6 minutes for my survey? It's just about how you feel about phone carriers. Please DM and I'll send the link!! :D

Forest trail ice skating.

I've seen videos online about ice skating on iced forest trails. However every place I find is in Canada. Is there really nothing similar in New England? Any help would be appreciated. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DBjUHKGu0yG/?igsh=dDFscmhrbDhiZHZ5 https://www.domaineenchanteur.com/activite/sentiers-glaces/index.htm
