we are all home and all is as well as it can be

[rushthatspeaks]

Somerville is not, technically, on lockdown, but honestly at this point that is fairly academic. We are certainly staying in. I am home, Ruth is home, Kara is home, and that will continue to be the case for the foreseeable future. Ruth came home from her office after they announced that people could do that.

The close-to-home-ness of all this is very close to home.

I may make cookies later or something. That could be a thing.

ETA: by close to home I mean I spent portions of yesterday sitting in the green space outside the high school the suspect at large graduated from, as I do in good weather; I have been inside the relevant MIT building many times and am kind of glad that rax has gone home as they have a relatively decent chance while in town of being somewhere on the MIT campus late at night; and I was very glad to see that ckd has checked in as when I started hearing locations I was like, wait, okay, that shooting happened amazingly close to his place gah. So, close to home. Distressingly so.

My city, my city, my city. I hope this is over soon.

Damn, that is way too close for comfort, for you whole town. I'm glad it's over, hope you are recovering well.

Cookies sounds like a useful response. Glad you're all home safe.

Cecilia mentioned baking cookies, on Twitter. Seems like a good response to me!

Cookies sound like a super response. I heard that the MIT students were delivering baked goods to the campus police. That felt right.

Glad you guys are okay.
