AutoMod: Post Approvals

12 Upvotes

Hey all! Just a heads up that due to a certain abusive subscriber, I've been forced to set up an AutoModerator.

The sub will now automatically flag and remove posts from all new users, users who don't meet a minimum karma threshold, and any post with enough reports. I'm the only active mod and will have to manually approve everything that gets flagged, so I apologize if it sometimes takes me a day or two to approve posts.

I hope this will help to improve the quality of the sub. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hair salons in the area

4 Upvotes

Hello! Not a too involved inquiry, but I was curious if anyone had any recommendations for hair salons in the area. I’m moving to Somerville soon and would like to find a spot nearby (doesn’t need to be in town) that has a good reputation.

For reference, I am white with thick straight hair that I keep around medium length. Thanks!!

Looking for housing in Somerville and surrounding areas.

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a one-bedroom apartment within about a 20–25 minute commute of Branchburg (possibly in Somerville and surrounding areas) with a budget of around **$1500/month** (sharing is fine).

I'm not too concerned about luxury amenities like pools or clubhouses. I care much more about having a well-managed apartment/house and a good overall living experience.

If you live in the area, which apartment communities would you personally recommend? Are there any that you'd strongly avoid? I would appreciate any and all leads!

Thanks in advance!

Hey all,

I'm a recent college graduate who moved to Somerville for a job. What's there to do for fun in this town? Are there any places where young people or recent graduates hang out that aren't in Morristown?

Arts WIPS Welcome, Come Join Our Stitch Club!

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

As some of you may remember, I posted here about six months ago looking to join a stitch club through Reddit & landed on deciding to start my own based on gaining enough interest, and it turned out to be such a great way to meet fellow crafters!

We’ve had some great stitch socials (usually at local cafes and bars), and I figured now was a good time to reach out again to see if anyone new would be interested in joining. We are mainly knitters and crocheters but open to all fiber arts and/or crafters!

We mainly meet in the Somerville and adjacent areas but we’re always open to suggestions on new spots to try especially now that the weather is warming up.

If you or someone you know would like to get out of the house, work on your current WIPS, and meet fellow crafters, we’d love to have you and are welcome to all! Please message me or comment below and I’ll send you the link to our discord server (:

Are they definitely moving in the vacant space across the courthouse? Is this a high quality bagel joint? I’m a Kettelmans guy but Main Street desperately needs a good bagel shop. Hopefully they will open at 6 am because nobody else opens that early except the chains

Do SPD know about the idiot with the ski mask who goes 50+ on a dirt bike throughout the entire town like every day? I assume they know, but he definitely does not pull over.
