-This blog is rarely updated, I mostly post to my music blog- Hey, I'm Jareth (they/them), and this is where I come to ramble about Massachusetts history and politics! Teddy Kennedy, Abigail Adams, and Charles Sumner give me life. My initials are JQA and I'm proud of it.

fuck marry kill: john kerry, bobby kennedy, charles sumner

Oh this is just unfair

F: John probably? We'd both be awkward as hell so there's a lot less pressure

M: Charles, we're both pretty much completely asexual and gay in opposite directions so basically we'd just spend our lives chilling and talking books and politics

K: Bobby cuz he's already dead and I can't bring myself to kill any of them

Favorite photo of Bobby?

It changes a lot but maybe one of these? Also I'm back online!

In 1930, the City Planning Board published this map showing the changes in Boston’s shore line. Take a look! Does anything surprise you?

Hopping back online to say I'll be in Boston for a few days at the end of September! I'm super excited, this is exactly the thing I need to be looking forward to ❤️❤️❤️

I'll be getting in late at night on September 27th and probably leaving on October 1st! Other than the evening of the 29th I have nothing scheduled, (although some time will have to be allocated for the JFK library/EMK institute because it's been ages since I visited). Obviously this is far enough away that no plans need to be made any time soon, but I know @parkersrevenge and @breakfastautocrat expressed interest in meeting up, and there are some other friends I have on here in the Boston area that I've hung out with in the past and I'd definitely be down to do that again 😁
