If I am ever stupid enough to join another Falmouth-based social or political group, I’ve given my family permission to shoot me and call it a mercy-killing.
The Falmouth Weltanschauung is the result of two deplorables: wealth and the influence of the military and the federal government on local institutions (WHOI, MBL, Fisheries, etc.). As a consequence, the brand of progressivism here is, oddly, bureaucratic, intolerant and conformist.
Alpha and I attended a meeting of 500 Women in Science last night; we attended, that is, until I was asked to leave for being “disruptive”.
Alpha was fantastic: supportive and consoling. So as not to waste the trip, we went to the Dollar Store on the way home.
