I wouldn’t eat ANY shellfish from the harbor. They literally live in the muck that’s settled out from 400 years of pollution.

It doesn’t hurt anyone and is a nice symbol of solidarity. There’s not much we can do in MA anyways besides showing that we don’t support lax gun laws. Maybe don’t be so quick to judge.

Stockseed farms! They mainly supply native prairie plants but they have tons of both native and naturalized wildflowers too! Seeds are really cheap too! I can get a pound of bachelors button seeds for $10

I’d imagine you could report it to your local non emergency line.

This is actually illegal in MA. If you catch the plates you can report it.

Sadly they have destroyed many pre Islamic and even historical Islamic buildings too

Nah. Unfortunately the saudis have destroyed many archeological sites in their own country. Including ironically in Mecca.

Yep. Although some islands like Ni’iahu have a small but almost exclusively Hawaiian speaking population.

I mean that might be true but you are still taking on a HUGE risk for a potential reward.

Idk what they expected. The people of MA have made clear that if they’re going to elect a Republican it’s going to be a Mike Soter or a Charlie baker and they said nah let’s get the trumper in. That shits not gonna fly in New England and especially not in MA. Maybe NH

I think it could still form in places like peat bogs or salt marshes that have a lot of organic matter but little oxygen.

They’re getting better. Where I live near Uxbridge the blackstone, Mumford, and west rivers were some of the most polluted on earth and you’d never know now. They’ve recovered wonderfully.
