Is #SocialSecurity doomed? Not so, says Louise Sheiner of The Brookings Institution. But we should probably be investing more in the future of it: our youth. news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/…

First up, we’re featuring a Dorchester resident and active member of #PIONEERSRunCrew, FJ Perfas. After breaking his leg while training for 26.TRUE, he has worked hard since his surgery to run again. FJ completed his first race in over 6 months this past summer!

Running the #Boston127 in April will help FJ celebrate his return in the biggest way possible. Outside of his work in public health, FJ is passionate about social justice & solidarity, & brings those shared values to PIONEERS & the running community at large. #oneBOSTON

Going on dates as a journalist is hard because naturally, I'm a good interviewer so it's hard to decipher if we actually clicked or if I just asked good questions 🤨

Really upsetting to see this today. I cannot imagine this happening- yet it did. A day of celebration and joy tainted by this. What are we doing? Running community- we preach inclusivity but we have a long way to go. This is not ok.

Having been at Mile 21 on Monday, I can personally say that the response by Newton MA Police Dept. was confusing, intimidating, and over the top. So many emotions, and so many layers to what happened at the #BostonMarathon that need to be talked about openly. bostonglobe.com/2023/04/18/met…
